(A) Weekly Quoted Variable Rate. At a rate per annum equal at all times to the rate of interest established by CoBank on the first Business Day of each week. The rate established by CoBank shall be effective until the first Business Day of the next week. Each change in the rate shall be applicable to all balances subject to this option and information about the then current rate shall be made available upon telephonic request.

the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month or the month that is 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months thereafter, as the case may be; provided, however, that: (i) in the event such ending day is not a Banking Day, such period shall be extended to the next Banking Day unless such next Banking Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case it shall end on the preceding Banking Day; and (ii) if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month, then such period shall end on the last Banking Day in the relevant month; (d) “Eurocurrency Liabilities” shall have meaning as set forth in “FRB Regulation D”; and (e) “FRB Regulation D” shall mean Regulation D as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 CFR Part 204, as amended.
The Company shall select the applicable rate option at the time it requests a loan hereunder and may, subject to the limitations set forth above, elect to convert balances bearing interest at the variable rate option to one of the fixed rate options. Upon the expiration of any fixed rate period, interest shall automatically accrue at the variable rate option unless the amount fixed is repaid or fixed for an additional period in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rates may not be fixed for periods expiring after the maturity date of the loans. All elections provided for herein shall be made electronically (if applicable), telephonically or in writing and must be received by CoBank not later than 12:00 Noon Company’s local time in order to be considered to have been received on that day; provided, however, that in the case of LIBOR rate loans, all such elections must be confirmed in writing upon CoBank’s request. Interest shall be calculated on the actual number of days each loan is outstanding on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be payable monthly in arrears by the 20th day of the following month or on such other day in such month as CoBank shall require in a written notice to the Company; provided, however, in the event the Company elects to fix all or a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the LIBOR interest rate option above, at CoBank’s option upon written notice to the Company, interest shall be payable at the maturity of the Interest Period and if the LIBOR interest rate fix is for a period longer than 3 months, interest on that portion of the indebtedness outstanding shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each three-month anniversary of the commencement date of such Interest Period, and at maturity.
SECTION 5. Promissory Note. The Company promises to repay the unpaid principal balance of the loans on the last day of the term of the Commitment. In addition to the above, the Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the loans at the times and in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 5 hereof. This note replaces and supersedes, but does not constitute payment of the indebtedness evidenced by, the promissory note set forth in the Supplement being amended and restated hereby.
SECTION 6. Borrowing Base Reports, Etc. The Company agrees to furnish a Borrowing Base Report to CoBank at such times or intervals as CoBank may from time to time request. Until receipt of such a request, the Company agrees to furnish a Borrowing Base Report to CoBank within 30 days after each month end calculating the Borrowing Base as of the last day of the month for which the Borrowing Base Report is being furnished. However, if no balance is outstanding hereunder on the last day of such month, then no Borrowing Base Report need be furnished. CoBank’s interpretation of Borrowing Base terms and what items may be included in (or excluded from) any Borrowing Base category appearing in the Borrowing Base Report shall control. If at any time the amount outstanding under the Commitment exceeds the Borrowing Base, an event of default will exist and will continue to exist unless and until said default is, at CoBank’s sole discretion, waived in writing or CoBank takes such other action to enforce its rights as permitted by this agreement or by law. The Company shall immediately notify CoBank at any time outstandings under the Commitment exceed the Borrowing Base and provide: (1) an updated Borrowing Base Report and (2) the specifics (check numbers, wire routing numbers, etc.) of all payments remitted since the end of the period covered by the last Borrowing Base Report.
