(7) Any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Company.

3(a) Applicable Interest Rates. The Company shall pay interest on Loans outstanding from the date disbursed to but not including the date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of and as selected by the Company from time to time and subject to provisions set forth in this Paragraph 3:

(1) The floating Reference Rate during the applicable computation period plus one percent (1.00%); or

(2) The LIBOR Rate for the selected Interest Period plus three and one-quarter percent (3.25%).

3(b) Interest Billing and Payment Requirements.

(1) Subject to the timing provisions relating to the funding of or conversion into LIBOR Rate Loans provided in Paragraph 3(d) below, if the Company desires to request a Loan, the Company shall deliver a Loan Request therefor to the Lender no later than: (i) in the case of a Loan to be initially funded as a LIBOR Rate Loan, 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the proposed funding date, and (ii) in the case of a Loan to be initially funded as a Reference Rate Loan, 2:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the proposed funding date.

(2) The principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan (including any Reference Rate Loan which is converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan) shall be in the minimum amount of $50,000.00.

(3) All Loan Requests shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered in writing (which may be by facsimile transmission), or telephonically to be promptly confirmed in writing (which may be by facsimile transmission).

(4) Subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 6(b) below, the Lender shall make available each requested Loan by crediting the amount thereof, in immediately available same day funds, to the Funding Account at the opening of business of the Lender at its Contact Office on the first Business Day immediately following the receipt of such Loan Request.

(1) The Company may elect from time to time to convert portions of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to Reference Rate Loans or to convert portions of outstanding Reference Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans by giving the Lender irrevocable notice of such election: (i) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans being converted into Reference Rate Loans, no later than 2:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the date of the proposed conversion, and (ii) in the case of Reference Rate Loans being converted into LIBOR Rate Loans, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the date of the proposed conversion. Any conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Reference Rate Loans may only be made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. No Reference Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan if an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing at the requested conversion date.

(2) The Company may elect from time to time to have outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans continued as LIBOR Rate Loans upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto by giving the Lender irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on the last day of such Interest Period; provided, however, that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Reference Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. If the Company shall fail to give notice of its election to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan as provided above, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Reference Rate Loan on the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(3) Each request for the conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be evidenced by the timely delivery by the Company to the Lender of a duly executed Loan Request (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission) or, but only with the prior agreement of the Lender, telephonically.

3(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation (whether by the Lender, in its reasonable judgment, or by any Governmental Authority) or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement: (1) the commitment of the Lender hereunder to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (2) Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Reference Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods or within such earlier period as may be required by law. In the event of a conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period the Company hereby agrees promptly to pay the Lender, upon demand, the amounts required pursuant to Paragraph 3(h) below, it being agreed and understood that such conversion shall constitute a prepayment for all purposes hereof. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Loans and all other Obligations.

3(f) Requirements of Law; Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable law, order, regulation, treaty or directive issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued by any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:

(1) Does or shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loans made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Lender);

(2) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on the Obligations; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, renewing or maintaining any Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay to the Lender, upon its written notice and demand made through the Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by the Lender with respect to this Agreement or Loans made hereunder. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 3(f), it shall promptly notify the Company of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by the Lender to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Loans and all other Obligations.

3(g) Funding. The Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of the Loans in any manner it may determine in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, in the Grand Cayman inter-bank market, the London inter-bank market and within the United States.

3(h) Prepayment Premium. In addition to all other payment obligations hereunder, in the event: (1) a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether following the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise, or (2) the Company shall fail to continue or to make a conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan after the Company has given notice thereof as provided in Paragraph 3(d) above, then the Company shall immediately pay to the Lender an additional premium sum compensating the Lender for losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such prepayment or such failure to borrow, continue or convert. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 3(h), it shall promptly notify the Company of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional

amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by the Lender to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under this Paragraph 3(h) in connection with any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though the Lender funded such LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. The provisions of this Paragraph 3(h) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Loans and all other Obligations.

3(i) Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations outstanding shall, unless such requirement is waived in writing by the Lender, bear interest at a default rate which is three percent (3%) in excess of the rate or rates otherwise payable under this Agreement, in either case until the earlier of (1) the date on which such Event of Default shall be cured or waived pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (2) the date on which all Obligations (including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid default interest) shall be paid in full, said default interest to be payable by the Company upon demand of the Lender.

(1) On or before the date of issuance by the Lender of a Letter of Credit, a non-refundable issuance fee in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) $410.00, or (ii) the per annum rate of two percent (2.00%) multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit for the effective term of such Letter of Credit;

(2) From time to time upon demand by the Lender, such additional fees and charges, including, without limitation, renewal, increase, extension and transfer fees and miscellaneous charges relating to the Letters of Credit as the Lender customarily charges with respect to similar letters of credit issued by it; and

(3) All costs incurred and payments made by the Lender by reason of any further assessment, reserve, deposit or similar requirement or any surcharge, tax or fee imposed upon it or as a result of its compliance with any directive or requirement of any regulatory authority pertaining or relating to any Letter of Credit.

3(k) Computations. All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed.

4(a) Open Book Account. The obligation of the Company to repay the Loans shall be evidenced by notations on the books and records of the Lender. If requested by the Company from time to time, the Lender shall deliver a statement of account to the Company setting forth the unpaid balance of Loans outstanding hereunder. Such statement shall (absent clerical error) be deemed conclusively correct and accepted by the Company unless the Company notifies the Lender to the contrary within ten (10) Business Days following delivery of such statement. Upon any advance of any Loan or payment or prepayment of any Loan, the Lender is hereby authorized to record the date and amount of each such advance made by the Lender, or the date and amount of each such payment or prepayment of principal of the Loans on its books (or by any analogous method the Lender may elect consistent with its customary practices) and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded absent manifest error. The failure of the Lender to make any such notation shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Company’s Obligations hereunder.

4(b) Nature and Place of Payments. All payments made on account of the Obligations shall be made by the Company to the Lender without setoff or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available same day funds, free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, fees or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority and must be received by the Lender by 2:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is received after the applicable deadline by the Lender, such payment will be considered to have been made by the Company on the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable by the Company at then applicable rate during such extension. All payments on account of the Obligations shall be made to the Lender through the Contact Office. If any payment required to be made by the Company hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at then applicable rate during such extension. The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Company, without prior notice to the Company, but is not obligated, to debit any general operating accounts of the Company maintained with the Lender for the full amount of monthly and periodic interest billings, fees and other Obligations payable hereunder which the Lender is authorized to collect; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to so debit such accounts shall not in any manner or to any extent affect the obligation of the Company to pay such Obligations as provided herein and in the other Loan Documents.

(1) The Company may prepay Loans (other than LIBOR Rate Loans) in whole or in part at any time, it being agreed and understood that LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding may only be repaid at the end of their respective Interest Periods.

(2) In the event notwithstanding the prohibition set forth in subparagraph (1) above a LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid prior to the end of its Interest Period, the Company shall concurrently pay to the Lender all amounts, if any, required pursuant to Paragraph 3(h) above.

4(d) Allocation of Payments Received Following Default. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all amounts received by the Lender on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Lender as follows:

(1) First, to the payment of reasonable expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses of collection, attorneys’ fees, court costs and foreclosure expenses;

(2) Then, to the Lender until all outstanding Loans, interest accrued thereon, and unrepaid L/C Drawings have been paid in full, said amounts to be allocated first to interest and then, but only after all accrued interest has been paid in full, to principal;

(3) Then, to the Lender on account of all other outstanding Obligations until the same have been paid and performed in full;

(4) Then, and if but only if there remain Outstanding any Letters of Credit, to the Lender to hold as cash collateral for the obligation of the Company to reimburse any future L/C Drawings as the same may occur, until there are no further Outstanding Letters of Credit; and

4(e) Telephonic/Facsimile Communications. Any agreement of the Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Company. The Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person reasonably believed by the Lender to be an authorized Person and the Lender shall not have any liability to the Company or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Lender in reasonable reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Company to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Lender to be contained in the telephonic or facsimile notice.
