Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees to reimburse and indemnify Lender from all increased costs and fees incurred by Lender in connection with this Note subsequent to the date of the initial advance of funds to Borrower under this Note and relating to or arising from (x) the offering of rates of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate or (y) a change in government regulation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (any of the following being a “Change”): (i) any law, rule, regulation, guideline, or directive (in each case whether or not having the force of law) is passed, enacted, promulgated, ordered, issued or adopted after the date of the initial advance of funds to Borrower under this Note, (ii) there is any change after the date of the initial advance of funds to Borrower under this Note in any law, rule, regulation, guideline, or directive (in each case whether or not having the force of law and including, without limitation, any request, rule, guideline or directive (A) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (as amended, the “Dodd-Frank Act”) or (B) enacted, promulgated, adopted, issued or implemented by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities), or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, application or administration of any of the foregoing, or (iii) Lender complies with any request or directive made after the date of the initial advance of funds to Borrower under this Note regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and such Change shall:

 

(x)       increase the cost to Lender, by an amount which Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining any portion of any advance subject to the LIBOR Rate, or reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, or

 

 

(y)       have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan, to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such Change by an amount deemed by Lender to be material, then, in any and each such case, after submission by Lender to Borrower of a written request therefor, Borrower shall pay Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduction. Lender’s reasonable determination of the amount of such reimbursement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for all purposes of this Note, all requests, rules, guidelines and directives (I) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Act or (II) enacted, promulgated, adopted, issued or implemented by the Bank of International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), or the United States or foreign financial regulatory authorities shall, in each case, be deemed to constitute a Change whether or not such request, rule, guideline or directive has the force of law and regardless of the date on which such request, rule, guideline or directive was enacted, promulgated, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower, in writing, of the increased costs and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 

F.       Unavailability of LIBOR. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if Lender, by written or telephonic notice, notifies Borrower that:

 

(i)       any change in any law, regulation or official directive, or in the interpretation thereof, by any governmental body charged with the administration thereof, has made it unlawful for Lender to fund or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any portion of any advance subject to the LIBOR Rate or otherwise give effect to Lender’s obligations as contemplated hereby, or

 

(ii)       (a) LIBOR deposits for periods of one month are not readily available in the London Interbank Offered Rate Market, (b) by reason of circumstances affecting such market or other economic conditions, adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest applicable to such deposits, or (c) the LIBOR Rate as determined by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining advances under this Note bearing interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate (including inaccurate or inadequate reflection of actual costs resulting from the calculation of rates by reporting sources),

 

then, in any of such events: (I) Lender’s obligations in respect of the LIBOR Rate shall terminate forthwith, (II) the LIBOR Rate with respect to Lender shall forthwith cease to be in effect, (III) Borrower’s right to utilize LIBOR Rate index pricing as set forth in this Note shall be terminated forthwith, and (IV) amounts outstanding hereunder shall, on and after such date, bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Note.

 

 

G.       Rounding and Rate Management Agreement. At any time during which a Rate Management Agreement is then in effect with respect to this Note, the provisions contained in this Note which round up the LIBOR Rate to the nearest 1/8th shall be disregarded and no longer of any force and effect, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note.

 

5.       Payment Terms.

 

A.       Commencing on the first (1st) day of July, 2018 and on the first (1st) day of each successive month thereafter (subject to earlier prepayment as provided in Section 4D hereof or as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan Document), until the Loan has been fully paid and satisfied in cash, Borrower shall make payments to Lender of interest on the outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

 

B.       The Loan shall be due and payable, and Borrower hereby promises to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan to Lender, together with all accrued interest thereon then remaining unpaid and all other unpaid amounts, charges, fees and expenses outstanding under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, on the Maturity Date, subject to earlier prepayment as provided in Section 4D hereof or as otherwise provided herein or in any other Loan Document

 

6.       Late Payments; Default Rate; Fees. If any payment is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or within ten (10) days thereafter due under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a late payment fee of five percent (5%) of the payment amount, with a minimum fee of $20.00. After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fixed charge of $25.00, or Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice, increase the Interest Rate by three percentage points (3.00%) (the “Default Rate”) for the period of time the default is continuing, whichever is greater. Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason. In addition, Lender may charge loan documentation fees as may be reasonably determined by the Lender.

 

7.       Maximum Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Note or any instrument securing payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note to the contrary, it is the intent of Borrower and Lender that Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply, as interest on principal of the indebtedness, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law; and if under any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and in the event Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excess interest shall be deemed a permitted partial prepayment of principal without penalty or premium and treated hereunder as such; and if the principal of the indebtedness evidenced hereby is paid in full, any remaining excess funds shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not interest of any kind payable hereunder exceeds the highest lawful rate, Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, and (b) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread such payment so that the interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law; provided that if the amount of interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, Lender shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess. Lender shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging or receiving interest in excess of the maximum lawful rate.

 

 

8.       Revolving Loan. Provided that no Default or Event of Default under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents has occurred and is continuing, any portion of the principal balance of this Note which is repaid may be reborrowed by Borrower prior to the Maturity Date. There shall be no prepayment penalty or premium.

 

9.       Default and Remedies.

 

A.       An “Event of Default” shall occur under this Note upon the occurrence of (a) the failure of Borrower to make any principal or interest payment owing hereunder on the date which is ten (10) days after the date when due, (b) the failure by Borrower to pay any other amount payable to Lender under this Note within ten (10) days after the date when any such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) a breach by Borrower of any of the covenants, agreements, representations, warranties or other provisions hereof, which is not cured within the grace or cure period, if any, applicable thereto, or (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents. An Event of Default under this Note shall also be deemed an Event of Default under the other Loan Documents.

 

B.       If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the option, without demand or notice, other than specified herein or in the other Loan Documents, to declare the unpaid principal of this Note, together with all accrued interest, prepayment premium, if any, and other sums secured by the Security Agreement, or other Loan Documents, at once due and payable to the extent permitted by law, to foreclose the Security Agreement and the other liens or security interests securing the payment of this Note, and to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity under the Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

C.       The remedies of Lender, as provided herein or in the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Lender, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise. No act of omission or commission of Lender, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.

 

10.       Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If any Event of Default under this Note shall occur, or if Lender incurs any expenses or costs in connection with the protection or realization of any collateral, whether or not suit is filed thereon or on any instrument granting a security interest in said collateral, Borrower promises to pay all costs of collection of every kind, including but not limited to all appraisal costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and expenses of every kind, incurred by Lender in connection with such collection or the protection or enforcement of any or all of the security for this Note, whether or not any lawsuit is filed with respect thereto.

 

 

11.       Waiver. Borrower, and each guarantor and endorser hereon waives grace, notice, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of default, protest, demand, presentment for payment and diligence in the collection of this Note, and in the filing of suit hereon, and agrees that his or its liability and the liability of his or its heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns for the payment hereof shall not be affected or impaired by any release or change in the security or by any increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment. It is specifically agreed by the undersigned that the Lender shall have the right at all times to decline to make any such release or change in any security given to secure the payment hereof and to decline to make any such increase, modification, renewal or extension of the indebtedness or its mode and time of payment.

 

12.       Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be delivered in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

13.       Application of Payments. All payments on account of the indebtedness evidencing the Note shall first be applied to late charges and costs and fees incurred by Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder or under the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, second to accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance, and third to reduce unpaid principal in inverse chronological order of maturity.

 

14.       BillPayer Service. Any payments and other amounts owing under this Note shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Note from Borrower’s account through Auto BillPayer (or Lender’s then current automated billing paying service) (“BillPayer Service”). Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate such payments from Borrower’s primary depository account with Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of the BillPayer Service shall be governed by the then current standard terms and conditions thereof, and Borrower hereby acknowledges receipt of such Terms and Conditions as in effect on the date hereof. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through the BillPayer Service throughout the term of this Note (to the extent Lender and its affiliates continue to provide such service). If the BillPayer Service is cancelled at any time, Borrower may be required to pay Lender the then current amount of the difference between Lender’s customary Note processing fee and the discounted Note processing fee received by Borrower in consideration of its use of the BillPayer Service.

A.       The headings of the paragraphs of this Note are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

 

 

B.       All payments under this Note shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for public and private debts at the time of payment; provided that a check will be deemed sufficient payment so long as it clears when presented for payment.

Eastern Time on the date due therefor and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the following Business Day. If any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due under this Note shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest on such principal. If an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, Lender is hereby authorized to charge any account of Borrower maintained with Lender for each payment of principal, interest and other amounts due under this Note, when each such payment becomes due. All amounts payable under this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be paid by Borrower without offset or other reduction.
