All Obligations hereunder and under the Facility Documents shall bear interest, in the case of Obligations described in clause 4(a), from the date of the incurrence thereof, and in the case of all other Obligations, from the date of when due to the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus three percent (3.0%) (or, in the case of any interest, fee, charge or other amount bearing interest by reference to the Base Rate pursuant to the terms hereof, two percent (2.0%)); provided, however, that at the Issuer’s option, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under this Agreement shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus five percent (5.0%) (or, in the case of any interest, fee, charge or other amount bearing interest by reference to the Base Rate pursuant to the terms hereof, four percent (4.0%)), but in no event shall the Obligor pay interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

All such payments shall be made to the Issuer at the account set forth on Schedule I, or to such other account as may be designated by the Issuer to the Borrower from time to time in writing. All interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), and interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate set forth herein whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists or a judgment has been entered.

There is no fact known to the Borrower which materially adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on (a) the business, assets, liabilities (actual or contingent), operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (b) the validity or enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or the rights or remedies of the Issuer or the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations thereunder.

SECTION 11 Event of Default. The occurrence and continuation of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

(a)

The Borrower fails to pay when due or otherwise perform any of the Obligations hereunder or pursuant to a Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder;

(b)

An action for bankruptcy, reorganization, restructuring, declaration of insolvency, dissolution is commenced by or against the Borrower or the Borrower is unable to pay its debts when they become due;

(c)

Any representation or warranty made by Borrower hereunder or under any Facility Document or the Revolving Credit Agreement shall have been untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

(d)

The occurrence of any event under any agreement or instrument involving the extension of credit to Borrower in an aggregate amount in excess of $750,000 which gives the holder of such obligation the right to accelerate its maturity, whether or not such right is exercised;

(e)

The Borrower, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, becomes a party to any merger, amalgamation or consolidation or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person or entity that is not permitted by the Revolving Credit Agreement; or

(f)

Any “Event of Default” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) shall occur under the Revolving Credit Agreement;

then Issuer, in its sole discretion, may: (i) require the Borrower to pay or deposit with Issuer cash in an amount equal to up to 103% of the face amount of all undrawn Standby Letters of Credit then outstanding, which cash shall be held as collateral security for the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder; (ii) declare all other amounts owing hereunder or under any other Facility Document immediately due and payable without demand or notice and the Borrower shall pay to or deposit with Issuer the amount thereof; (iii) waive any default, provided however that such waiver shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent default; (iv) take such action as the Issuer in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to remedy any default, provided however that such action shall not be deemed a waiver of such default or any prior or subsequent default, (v) terminate the financial arrangement under this Agreement and elect not to renew any Standby Letter of Credit or cause the Borrower to provide a substitute issuing bank; or (vi) take any other action available to a creditor pursuant to the terms of any Facility Document or applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, including for specific performance of any covenant or other agreement contained in any Facility Document or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in any Facility Document. The Borrower hereby agrees and undertakes to notify the Issuer within five (5) business days after discovering or obtaining knowledge of any condition or event constituting a Default or Event of Default or that, with the lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default.

SECTION 12Increased Costs; Illegality. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay promptly after the Issuer’s demand therefor any increased costs arising from (a) any Change in Law, or (b) reserve requirements (except as reflected in the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate), or any changes in existing reserve requirements, imposed on Issuer with respect to this Agreement or any Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder. If any of the above-mentioned measures, or any other similar measure, should result in (i) any increase in the cost to Issuer of issuing and maintaining the Standby Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement or of any transaction hereunder and thereunder, or (ii) any reduction in the amount of principal, interest or any fee receivable by the Issuer in respect of this Agreement or any Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder, the Issuer shall provide the Borrower with a certificate specifying the amount so demanded, which certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower shall pay to Issuer upon demand such increased cost or reduction.

If, at any time, the Issuer determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or (ii) the Issuer determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Issuer of making or maintaining its extensions of credit hereunder, then then the Issuer shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Issuer notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Letter of Credit Fees and all Obligations hereunder shall bear interest by reference to the Base Rate.

Without duplication of any other rights that the Issuer has hereunder, if the Issuer determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful for the Issuer to make, maintain or fund any extension of credit whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any governmental authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Issuer to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Issuer to the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to all Obligations hereunder shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Issuer by reference to the Base Rate, in each case until the Issuer notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

SECTION 13.Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights or remedies now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, if an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, the Issuer, in its own discretion, may (but shall not be obliged to) set-off against any Borrower’s obligation due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Standby Letter of Credit issued hereunder on which a demand has been made by the Beneficiary, any moneys held by the Issuer for the account of the Borrower and in any currency whether or not such monies are then due and payable. The Issuer shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of any such set-off.

SECTION 14 Notices. All notifications, requests, demands and other communications hereunder to either the Issuer or the Borrower shall be in writing, unless otherwise advised by notice by the Party changing its notice information to the other Party.
