Funds received after such hour shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the next Banking Day.

(b) Borrower authorizes Lender to collect all interest, principal, fees, costs, expenses or other amounts due under the Credit Documents by charging Borrower’s deposit account, numbered , with Lender, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Lender, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds in any such demand deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

(c) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs, late charges and other charges; provided, however, upon an Event of Default and at any time in which such Event of Default is continuing, Lender reserves the right to apply payments among principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges at its discretion.

(d) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next

succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest, commission or fee, as the case may be.

5.3 Maintenance of Accounts. Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower and the amounts payable and paid from time to time hereunder. In any legal action or proceeding in respect of this Credit Agreement, the entries made in the ordinary course of business in such account or accounts shall be evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded. The failure to record any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder to repay all amounts owed hereunder, together with all interest accrued thereon.

5.4 LIBOR Based Rate Breakage Fees. If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment, or acceleration) Lender receives all or part of any LIBOR Based Rate Amount prior to the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period, Borrower shall reimburse Lender and hold Lender harmless from any losses or reasonable expenses which Lender may sustain or incur as a result of such prepayment. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and hold Lender harmless from any losses or reasonable expenses which Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of the failure of Borrower to make on a timely basis any payment of any principal of any Loan bearing interest at a LIBOR Based Rate, including any such loss or expense arising from liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan bearing a LIBOR Based Rate or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

5.5 Special LIBOR Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Documents to the contrary, Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain funding of all or any part of any Advance in any reasonable manner.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Credit Documents to the contrary, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding under a Loan, in arrears, at the Base Rate if (i) by reason of any Regulatory Change, Lender reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London inter-bank market generally, adequate and fair means do not or will not exist for determining LIBOR or the LIBOR Based Rate, (ii) by reason of any Regulatory Change, Lender becomes restricted in the amount which it may hold of a category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to LIBOR or a category of assets which includes loans which bear interest at rate determined in part by reference to LIBOR, (iii) by reason of any Regulatory Change, it shall be unlawful for Lender to maintain an Advance, or any portion thereof, bearing interest based on the LIBOR Based Rate, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, deposits are not available to Lender in the international inter-bank market in the requisite amounts and for the requisite durations, or (v) in the reasonable discretion of Lender, the LIBOR Based Rate does not adequately reflect the cost to Lender of the Advance. If Lender

reasonably determines that it cannot accept an election for a LIBOR Based Rate based on the previous sentence, the corresponding Advance shall bear interest at the Base Rate. Lender shall provide Borrower notice if Lender determines that it cannot accept an election to make a LIBOR Based Rate Advance or to continue or convert an existing Advance to a LIBOR Based Rate Advance; however, failure by Lender to provide such notification shall not create or result in any liability for or impose any other obligation on Lender.

If any provision of any Credit Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; such Credit Document shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of such Credit Document; and the remaining provisions of such Credit Document shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from such Credit Document. Furthermore, in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added as part of such Credit Document a provision mutually agreeable to Borrower and Lender as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

The parties do not intend the benefits of this Credit Agreement to inure to any third party, nor shall this Credit Agreement be construed to make or render Lender liable to any materialman, supplier, contractor, subcontractor, purchaser or lessee of any property owned by Borrower, or for debts or claims accruing to any such persons against Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Note, or in any other Credit Document, or any conduct or course of conduct by any or all of the parties hereto, before or after signing this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document shall be construed as creating any right, claim or cause of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any materialman, supplier, contractor, subcontractor, purchaser or lessee of any property owned by Borrower, nor to any other person or entity other than Borrower.

12.18 Participations. Lender, at any time, shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participation interests in the Loans and in any documents and instruments executed in connection herewith.

Lender is authorized to furnish to any participant or prospective participant any information or document that Lender may have or obtain regarding the Loans, Borrower or any guarantor of the Loans.

12.19 Exchange of Information.

Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is filed, and all costs of suit and preparation for suit (whether at trial or appellate level), in the event any payment of principal, interest or other amount under the Credit Documents is not paid when due, or in case it becomes necessary to protect the collateral which is security for the Loans, or to exercise any other right or remedy hereunder or in the Credit Documents, or in the event Lender is made party to any litigation because of the existence of the Obligations, or if at any time Lender should incur any attorneys’ fees in any proceeding under any federal bankruptcy law (or any similar state or federal law) in connection with the Obligations. In

the event of any court proceeding, attorneys’ fees shall be set by the court and not by the jury and shall be included in any judgment obtained by Lender.
