(b) Interest shall accrue on each Base Rate Loan from and including the first date a Loan is advanced as, or becomes, a Base Rate Loan to, but not including, the day such Base Rate Loan is paid in full or converted to a LIBOR Loan, at the rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate. Any change in the Base Rate shall be effective on the date of such change.

ARTICLE 3 - CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

3.1 Notice and Manner of Borrowing; Continuations, Conversions and Funding.

(a) General Requirements.

(i) Each Revolving Credit Loan advanced hereunder shall be in the form of a LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan, at the option of the Borrower; provided, that if Borrower uses a Sweep Service, then Daily LIBOR will apply with respect to any LIBOR Loan drawn pursuant to such Sweep Service.

(ii) The Lender may make any Revolving Credit Loan in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written, teletransmitted or other request (the “Request(s)”) that the Lender in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by an authorized person. The Lender may act on the Request of any authorized person until the Lender shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such authorized person. The Lender shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person as a direct or indirect result of making any Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to this subsection.

(iii) Not including Daily LIBOR Loans, at any one time no more than five (5) LIBOR Rate tranches may be outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

(b) Requests for Loans. Unless a Sweep Service is in effect, in which case Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Request for a Daily LIBOR Loan or, if LIBOR Loans

are unavailable, a Base Rate Loan, in the relevant amount, Borrower shall give the Lender its irrevocable Request for each Loan specifying:

(i) the Draw Date for the Loan, which may be the same day for Daily LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans, provided such Request for Daily LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans is received by Lender by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, and which must be at least two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Request for other LIBOR Loans and at least one (1) Business Day following the date of the Request for Base Rate Loans. If a Request for other LIBOR Loans is received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Request will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Loan, which amount shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount;

(iii) whether such Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan and, in the case of a LIBOR Loan other than a Daily LIBOR Loan, the corresponding Interest Period duration; and

(iv) whether the Automatic Continuation Option will be in effect for a LIBOR Loan unless the Request is for a Daily LIBOR Loan. The Automatic Continuation Option shall be in effect for each Daily LIBOR Loan and for each other LIBOR Loan unless otherwise specified by Borrower in writing.

(c) Delivery of Requests and Notices. Delivery of a Notice or Request for a Loan shall be made to the Lender at the address for notices in Section 11.4, or such other address designated by the Lender from time to time.

(d) Continuation Elections. An authorized Person may, upon irrevocable Request to the Lender in accordance with Section 3.1(e) below, elect to continue, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any portion (subject to the Minimum Borrowing Amount limitation) or all of any LIBOR Loan with the same or a different Interest Period, provided no partial continuation of a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Loan with the same Interest Period to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.

(e) Notice of Continuation.

(i) For an election under Section 3.1(d) above, an authorized person must deliver to the Lender, by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, a written notice for an election under Section 3.1(d) (a “Notice”), specifying:

(A) the aggregate amount of each LIBOR Loan to be continued;

(B) the applicable LIBOR Rate selection and corresponding Interest Period duration for each LIBOR Loan to be continued; and

(C) whether the Automatic Continuation Option will be in effect for such LIBOR Loan. The Automatic Continuation Option shall be in effect for each LIBOR Loan, unless otherwise specified by Borrower in writing.

(ii) For any election in accordance with Section 3.1(d) above, the Continuation Date shall be the later of (A) the last day of the applicable Interest Period, or (B) two (2) LIBOR Business Days (unless a shorter period is permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) following the date the Lender receives the Notice of Continuation. If a Notice is received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Notice will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Accordingly, as an example, if Borrower has a LIBOR Loan with a one-month Interest Period ending on June 15 and wants to continue the LIBOR Loan with a two- month Interest Period, Borrower must deliver to the Lender an appropriate Notice of Continuation by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on June 13 (assuming that June 13 is a Business Day and June 14 and 15 are LIBOR Business Days).

(iii) For LIBOR Loans with the Automatic Continuation Option in effect, the Lender shall, at the end of each Interest Period, automatically continue such LIBOR Loan with the same Interest Period unless a contrary Notice has been received.

(iv) The Lender may take action on any Notice in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written or teletransmitted Notice that the Lender in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by an authorized person. No Notice may be delivered by e-mail. The Lender may act on the Notice from any authorized person until the Lender shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such authorized person. The Lender shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person as a direct or indirect result of acting on any Notice under this Agreement. The Lender, in its sole discretion, may reject any Notice that is incomplete.

(f) Expiration of Interest Period. With respect to any LIBOR Loan for which an Automatic Continuation Option is not in effect, if Borrower does not deliver to the Lender an appropriate Notice of Continuation (in accordance with the terms hereof) at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days before the end of an Interest Period, the Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to immediately, and without notice, convert such LIBOR Loan into a Daily LIBOR Loan and such Loan shall continue as a Daily LIBOR Loan until two (2) LIBOR Business Days after the Lender receives an appropriate Notice under Section 3.1(e) electing a different Interest Period. A Notice of Continuation received one (1) LIBOR Business Day before the end of an Interest Period may not effectuate a continuation of such Loan as a LIBOR Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period. Rather, such LIBOR Loan may be converted (in the manner described above) to a Daily LIBOR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period. Such Notice of Continuation, however, will be deemed to be a Notice that will be effective two (2) LIBOR Business Days from the date it is received (or deemed to be received) by the Lender.

(g) Conversion upon Default. Unless the Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, if (i) Borrower fails to pay when due, in whole or in part, the Obligations, or (ii) there exists any Event of Default or other Default with respect to which Lender has given a required notice of default as a precondition to the occurrence of an Event of Default, no conversion or

continuation elections by the Borrower shall be permitted, and the Lender, in its sole discretion, may (i) permit any outstanding LIBOR Loan to continue until the last day of the applicable Interest Period at which time such Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan or (ii) convert any outstanding LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan before the end of the applicable Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan. Nothing herein shall be construed to be a waiver by the Lender to have any Loan accrue interest at the Default Rate or the right of the Lender to charge and collect Breakage Costs.

3.2 Method of Payment. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and the Notes not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due in lawful money of the United States to the Lender at its Principal Office in immediately available funds. Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, if and to the extent payment is not made when due under this Agreement and the Notes, to charge from time to time against any account of Borrower with the Lender any amount as due.

3.3 Illegality. If the Lender shall determine that the introduction of any law (statutory or common), treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of an arbitrator or of a Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for the Lender to make Loans whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to Borrower, (a) the Lender may suspend the making of LIBOR Loans until the Lender shall have notified Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination shall no longer exist and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender making or maintaining Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, in each case until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest, or convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last date of the Interest Period thereof if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of the Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon LIBOR, the Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to the LIBOR component thereof until the Lender determines that it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR. If Borrower is required to prepay any LIBOR Loan immediately as set forth in this subsection, then concurrently with such prepayment, Borrower may borrow from the Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loan shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Lender without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate). Upon any such prepayment or conversion under this Section, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.6.

3.4 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Lender shall determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest

Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, the Lender will give notice of such determination to Borrower. Thereafter, the Lender may not make or maintain LIBOR Loans, as the case may be, hereunder until the Lender revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending Request or notice with respect to a LIBOR Loan. If Borrower does not revoke such Request or notice, the Lender may make, or continue the Loans, as proposed by Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable request or notice submitted by Borrower, but such Loans shall be made or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Loans, as the case may be.

3.5 Increased Cost. If the Lender shall determine that due to either (a) the introduction of any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR) in or in the interpretation of any requirement of law, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans, then Borrower shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand therefor by the Lender, pay to the Lender such additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased costs. Without limitation, the LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted by dividing LIBOR by a percentage equal to 100% minus the stated maximum rate of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained against “Eurocurrency Liabilities” as specified in Regulation D (or against any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States’ office of a bank to United States residents) on the applicable date by any member bank of the Federal Reserve System.

3.6 Breakage Costs. Upon notice to Borrower from the Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, liability, funding loss, or expense (in each case whether by reason of any reduction in yield, the liquidation or reemployment of any deposit or other funds acquired by the Lender, the fixing of any interest rate payable on LIBOR Loans, or otherwise) (“Breakage Costs”) incurred directly or indirectly as a result of:

(a) any payment of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan including, but not limited to acceleration of the Loans; or

(b) any failure by Borrower to borrow or convert a LIBOR Loan on the date for borrowing or conversion specified in the relevant notice under Section 3.1, or

(c) any failure by Borrower to pay a LIBOR Loan on any date for payment specified in Borrower’s written notice of intention to pay such LIBOR Loan, or

(d) other event pursuant to which a LIBOR Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan.

3.7 Administrative Expenses. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable fees and expenses of the Lender’s counsel, of the Lender related to this Agreement, the Obligations, the perfection and protection of any collateral security

required hereunder, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the review, arrangement, completion documentation, amendment and administration of this Agreement and the Obligations, including, but not limited to, the cost of principal background checks, flood certifications, ongoing field examination expenses and all costs associated with the appraisal of inventory collateral. Such payments shall be due on the Closing Date and thereafter on demand as incurred by the Lender.

3.8 Collection Costs. At the request of the Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay any reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable legal fees, of the Lender in connection with collection of any of the Obligations or protection, defense and enforcement of any of the Lender’s rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents. This obligation shall survive the payment of any Notes executed hereunder. The Lender may apply any payments of any nature received by it first to the payment of Obligations under this Section 3.8, notwithstanding any conflicting provision contained in this Agreement or any other agreement with the Borrower.

11.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be changed or amended without the written agreement of all parties hereto. This Agreement embodies all commitments to lend between the Lender and the Borrower and supersedes any prior commitments.

11.6 Parties in Interest.

(a) All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder of any of the Notes. Upon any transfer of any Obligation or any interest therein any Lender may deliver or otherwise transfer or assign to the holder any collateral or guarantees for the Obligation, which holder shall thereupon have all the rights of the Lender.

(b) The rights, remedies, and benefits of and in favor of the Lender under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, any or all of the Lender and each of its affiliates.

11.7 Indemnity.

(a) Nothing in this Section 11.7 shall be deemed or shall be construed to relieve or release the Lender from any liability for breach of contract arising from any failure by the Lender to perform its contractual obligations hereunder. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Lender and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in a third party action or in an action to enforce this Agreement) that may be incurred by or asserted against such indemnified party in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby including in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, action, or proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable to any indemnified party for such claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses resulting from such indemnified party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The indemnification obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder include obligations to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender for any cost, expense, or liability (including among others reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with actions taken (including, if applicable, foreclosure of the Mortgage), and payments made by the Lender reasonably necessary to assure that the Mortgage, and the premises covered thereby, are subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.

(b) To the extent, if at all, New Mexico ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Section 56-7-1, as amended, is applicable to any Loan Document, any agreement to indemnify, hold harmless, insure or defend another party contained therein shall not extend to liability, claims, damages, losses or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property caused by or resulting from, in whole or in part, the negligent act or omission of the indemnitee, its officers, employees or agents.

11.8 Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used in this Section 11.8, the term “applicable law” means the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided, however that in the event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever the Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all Loan Documents.

11.9 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

11.10 Governing Law.

11.11 Electronic Communications. Borrowing base and compliance certificates submitted to the Lender electronically by a representative of the Borrower shall be deemed to have been submitted and signed by the representative sending the electronic communication.

11.12 Patriot Act. The Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 signed into law October 26, 2001 and for purposes of this Section 11.12 called the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

11.13 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. Further, each Person executing this Agreement agrees that the electronic signatures, whether pdf, scanned, digital, encrypted, captured or otherwise attached or imposed hereto, are intended to authenticate this agreement and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. By signing below, each person, in their individual capacity, executing this agreement represents and warrants to and covenants to the Lender that said signer is executing this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower and is duly authorized and empowered to do so and to bind the obligor to the terms hereof. The Lender is under no obligation to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Lender pursuant its approved procedures. If the Lender accepts a counterpart by electronic signature as the binding and effective record of this agreement, the counterpart acknowledged in writing by the Lender shall constitute the record hereof and the original document for the purposes of establishing the provisions hereof and shall be legally admissible under the best evidence rule and binding on and enforceable against each party hereto. The counterpart acknowledged in writing by the Lender may be marked “Original” and perfection of a security interest by possession may only be accomplished by possession of the counterpart that bears the Lender’s ink signed acknowledgement and is marked “Original.”

11.14 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution, delivery, and termination of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

11.15 Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to jurisdiction and service of process, which may be effected by certified mail in accordance with the certified mail provisions contained in Section 11.4, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in Monroe County, or of the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection it may have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court referred to in this Section 11.15. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

11.16 Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIMS OR PROCEEDINGS WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS AND ALL MATTERS RELATED HERETO TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.

11.17 Status of Prior Agreement and Loans Outstanding Under Prior Agreement. This Agreement shall amend and restate the terms of the Prior Agreement. This Agreement shall not cancel or terminate the Prior Agreement, nor act as a novation thereof, but shall amend, restate, and supersede the Prior Agreement. All loans outstanding under the Prior Agreement shall be deemed outstanding under this Agreement on and as of the Closing Date. The interest rate applicable thereto shall, if applicable, be adjusted as of the Closing Date to the interest rate applicable under this Agreement, but all LIBOR elections shall remain in effect and any monthly, quarterly or annual billing schedule hereunder shall remain unchanged except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement. All Loan Documents delivered pursuant to the Prior Agreement shall continue to remain outstanding and in full force and effect and shall be considered issued and delivered under this Agreement unless superseded by this Agreement or by another document delivered in connection with this Agreement. All references in those documents to the Prior Agreement shall hereafter be references to this Agreement. If the provisions of any of those Loan Documents shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.
