• Security Deposit Letter of Credit As a condition of this Lease, in lieu of a third-party guaranty, Tenant shall, with delivery of the Lease executed by Tenant, deliver to Landlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit, in a form approved by Landlord, from a commercial banking institution which is a member of FDIC with assets of more than $250,000,000.00, approved by Landlord, in the amount of $100,000.00 (“Letter of Credit”) to be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all the covenants and obligations of Tenant set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall submit its proposed form of Letter of Credit prior to execution of the Lease for Landlord’s review and approval. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it shall keep the Letter of Credit in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof) and for thirty (30) days following the end thereof. In the event the term of the Letter of Credit must be renewed annually, then not less than thirty (30) days prior to any expiration date of the Letter of Credit (“Renewal Deadline”), Tenant shall provide Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit or extension amendment. Said Letter of Credit shall contain terms whereby it can be drawn on by Landlord at sight on any date during its term on which issuer shall receive from Landlord a certification signed by Landlord stating that an Event of Default has occurred by Tenant under this Lease or that Tenant has failed to provide a replacement Letter of Credit, as required under the Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord is the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof are not the property of the Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply the proceeds against any or all amounts then due and owing by Tenant hereunder and/or against sums expended by Landlord, including attorneys fees. Such actions by Landlord do not negate Tenant’s obligations to pay Rental thereafter. Any balance left of the sum received from drawing on the Letter of Credit, after the curing of defaults and/or the payment of amounts due by Tenant, shall be held by Landlord, as beneficiary, until the earlier of the replacement of the Letter of Credit, as required below, or thirty (30) days following the end of the Term of this Lease (and any extension or renewal thereof). The original Letter of Credit or any portion of the proceeds which are not utilized by Landlord for any purpose permitted under this Lease shall be returned to the issuing banking institution within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term provided Tenant has performed all of the remaining obligations imposed upon Tenant pursuant to this Lease. In the event Landlord shall draw on any Letter of Credit provided by Tenant, Tenant shall replace same no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such drawing and, if same is not replaced, such failure shall constitute an additional Event of Default under the terms of this Lease and Landlord shall have the benefit of all remedies permitted pursuant to the terms of this Lease and the laws of the State where the Premises are located.

• Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

• Letter of Credit Facility Subject to the terms hereof, Issuing Lender will, from time to time and for its own account and not on behalf of the Lenders, upon request by Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, provided that (i) the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit (including the amount of the requested Letter of Credit but exclusive of the SBID Letter of Credit) does not exceed $500,000, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than one year from issuance or the Maturity Date. If the requested Letter of Credit will be an extension of the SBID Letter of Credit, such SBID Letter of Credit shall not be in an amount greater than the lesser of (i) $1,105,743.00 or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans. As an additional condition to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver Issuing Lender's customary Letter of Credit application and shall pay to Issuing Lender for its account only a Letter of Credit fee, payable quarterly in advance, beginning with the date of issuance and each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 thereafter, in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $500.00 or (ii) one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per annum (pro-rated for periods of less than one year) of the unfunded face amount thereof. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued in form satisfactory to Issuing Lender. The amount, if any, from time to time drawn by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed and paid by Borrower to Issuing Lender ON DEMAND, or, at Issuing Lender's option, charged as a Revolving Loan to Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a), whether or not Borrower would then be entitled to an Advance for such amount pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a); Lenders are authorized to make any such Loan on the request of Issuing Lender; provided, however, if such Loan would cause the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding (including the Loan to be made with respect to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit) to exceed the Borrowing Base, the amount of such Loan equal to such excess shall be made solely by the Lender who is also the Issuing Lender. The reimbursement obligations and all other obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be secured by Liens in the Collateral that rank PARI PASSU with the Liens of the Lenders in the Collateral; accordingly each Dollar realized on the Collateral and the proceeds thereof shall be shared by the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Issuing Lender, on the other hand, in the proportion that the Obligations (determined without inclusion of any Letter of Credit Exposure) and the Letter of Credit Exposure bears to one another; provided, however, in determining the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Issuing Lender, all Letter of Credit Exposure, contingent or otherwise, shall be included in any calculation; provided, further, that if the Issuing Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral on account of any Letter of Credit which, at the time of receipt of the proceeds, may still be drawn upon and which thereafter expires without being drawn upon, then such proceeds shall be reallocated among the Lenders and the Issuing Lender on the basis of a new determination of Obligations and Letter of Credit Exposure. Prior to such reallocation or the application of such proceeds to unpaid reimbursement obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall hold such proceeds in an interest bearing cash collateral account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") which shall be in the name of and under the sole dominion and control of Issuing Lender for the benefit of itself and Lenders pursuant to the terms hererof. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Issuing Lender such documentation with respect to the Cash Collateral Account as Issuing Lender may request and hereby pledges and grants to Issuing Lender, for the benefit of Issuing Lender and Lenders, a security interest in all such proceeds and funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all interest thereon, claims and choses in action in respect thereof, and the proceeds thereof, as additional security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, whether or not then due, and all other Obligations.
