Late Charge and Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the Note within ten (10) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of the amount of such payment (the “Late Charge”). Such ten (10) day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Note shall bear interest at a rate that shall be three percentage points (3.0%) in excess of the interest rate in effect from time to time under the Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Agreement or the Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Credit Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
