The remaining principal balance shall be due in accordance with Section 2(d) below.
(b) The Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of the Loan from the date hereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at the rates set forth or provided for herein, before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, with interest on overdue interest to bear interest and to be compounded at the Default Interest Rate (as defined below), in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, the unpaid principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, as selected by the Borrower, plus four hundred fifty (450 bps) basis points or (ii) five percent (5%).

(f) Bank may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Bank in good faith to be from an authorized officer of Borrower and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Bank against any claims, liabilities, losses and expenses ensuing from such reliance. Borrower shall immediately confirm to Bank, in writing, each telephonic notice. Borrower expressly authorizes Bank to record in its computer system the amount and date of the Loan, the applicable rate of interest and each payment of principal and interest made thereon. In the event of any discrepancy between any such notation by Bank and any records of Borrower, the records of Bank shall be controlling and conclusive. Bank’s failure to make any notation to its records shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Loan, in accordance with the terms hereof.
3. Default Rate. At the option of the Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in any event if any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under this Note, or any other Loan Document, is not paid when due, the Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus five (5%) percent per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
4. Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a) Computation of interest on the Loan and all fees under this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Borrower acknowledges that such latter calculation method will result in a higher yield to the Lender than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days.
(b) Under no circumstances or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Note exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

5. Manner and Treatment of Payments.

All payments received after these deadlines shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.
(b) Bank shall use its reasonable efforts to keep a record of the Loan made by it and payments received by it with respect to this Note and, such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Bank shall not be liable to any party for any failure to keep such a record.
(c) Bank shall have the unconditional right and discretion (and Borrower hereby authorizes Bank) to charge Borrower’s operating and/or deposit account(s) for all of Borrower’s Obligations as they become due from time to time under this Note, or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, interest, principal, fees, indemnification obligations and reimbursement of expenses.
(d) Any payment due under this Note which is paid by check or draft shall be subject to the condition that any receipt issued therefore shall be ineffective unless and until the amount due is actually received by Bank. Each payment received by Bank shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred by or payable to Bank in connection with the collection or enforcement of this Note; second, to the payment of all unpaid late charges (if any); third, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder; and fourth, to the payment of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, or in any other manner which Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect from time to time.
6. Security Interest. To secure payment to Bank and performance of the Obligations, this Note is secured by the guarantee of Guarantor which is secured by the Collateral, subject to an intercreditor agreement between Bank Leumi USA (“BLUSA”) and Bank, and pledge agreements between Holdings and Bank and Holdings and BLUSA, as the same may be amended, modified or reaffirmed from time to time.
7. Right of Set-Off. As security for this Note and all other Obligations of Borrower to Bank, Borrower and any Obligor of this Note hereby grant Bank a continuing lien and/or right of set-off upon any and all deposit and/or operating accounts now or hereafter maintained with Bank, any and all securities and other property of Borrower and any Obligor and the proceeds thereof now or hereafter coming into the possession or control of Bank, hereby authorizing Bank, at any time, without prior notice, to appropriate and apply such deposits or the proceeds of the sale of such securities or other property to any such Obligations, although contingent and although unmatured, it being understood that Bank shall be under no obligation to effect any such appropriation and application.
8. Repayment Extension. If any payment of principal or interest shall be due on a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are required or permitted to be closed, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest.

Borrower shall unconditionally pay to Bank a late charge (the “Late Charge”) equal to five (5%) percent of the payment then due, if any such payment in whole or in part is not received by Bank within ten (10) days after its due date. The Late Charge shall be payable together with the next payment due hereunder or, at Bank’s option, upon demand by Bank, provided, however, that if any such late charge is not recognized as liquidated damages for such delinquency, and is deemed to be interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law, Bank shall be entitled to collect a late charge only at the highest rate permitted by law, and any payment actually collected by Bank in excess of such lawful amount shall be deemed a payment in reduction of the principal sum then outstanding, and shall be so applied.

14. Inability to Determine LIBOR. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error) that LIBOR can not be determined by any of the means set forth in the definition of “LIBOR” and, by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant Interest Periods are not being provided to Bank in the relevant amount or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining LIBOR for such Interest Period, then Bank shall forthwith furnish notice of such determination to Borrower and on the last day of the then applicable current Interest Period, Bank shall, in its sole discretion, select a new interest rate for the Loan.
15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for Bank to maintain the Loan at an interest rate based on LIBOR as contemplated hereunder (a) Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and (b) interest rate to be charged on the remaining unpaid principal amount of the Loan shall be converted automatically to a rate determined by Bank in its sole discretion.

The obligation of Borrower to pay all such costs and expenses shall not be merged into any judgment by confession against Borrower. All of such costs and expenses shall bear interest at the higher of the rate of interest provided herein or Default Interest Rate provided herein, from the date of payment by Bank until repaid in full.
18. Interest Rate after Judgment. If judgment is entered against Borrower on this Note, the amount of the judgment entered (which may include principal, interest, fees and costs) shall bear interest at the higher of (i) the legal rate of interest then applicable to judgments in the jurisdiction in which judgment was entered or, (ii) if otherwise permitted by applicable law, the Default Interest Rate provided herein.

If any provision or part of any provision of this Note shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision (or any remaining part of any provision) of this Note, and this Note shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (or part thereof) had never been contained in this Note, but only to the extent of its invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability.
