Commencing on the date on which any Enforcement Event occurs, the principal of the Loans not overdue shall, until such Enforcement Event ceases to exist, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) two percent (2%) above the rate of interest otherwise applicable to such Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06, and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to overdue principal.

(d) Subject to Section 2.06(a) hereof, the Bank shall determine the interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, Loans or of fees or other amounts shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall accrue during such extension. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

ARTICLE VII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 7.01. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, any new law, rule or regulation, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any present or future applicable law,

-25-

rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency in connection therewith issued, promulgated or enacted after the date hereof:

(i) shall subject the Bank (or its Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Loans or its Note, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement, in each case except for any tax on, or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of, or franchise taxes payable by, the Bank or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located; or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on the Bank (or its Lending Office) any other condition affecting the Loan or its Note,;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, promptly upon demand by the Bank (and in any event within thirty (30) days after demand by the Bank), the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for the increased cost or reduction.

(b) If the Bank shall determine that any change after the date hereof in any existing applicable law, rule or regulation or any new law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any new request or directive of general applicability regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency issued, promulgated or enacted after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of the Bank (or its parent corporation) as a consequence of the Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Bank (or its parent corporation) could have achieved but for such law, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then from time to time, promptly upon demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank (or its parent corporation) for such reduction.

(c) The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation

-26-

will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of the Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank.

SECTION 8.02. No Waivers.

SECTION 8.03. Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification.

(b) The Borrower authorizes the Bank and the Custodian to charge and/or set off against any deposit account or other account maintained with either the Bank or the Custodian on behalf of the Borrower and, in the case of the Bank, apply the proceeds thereof against repayment of any unpaid Obligations, or, in the case of the Custodian, remit the proceeds thereof to the Bank to be applied against repayment of any such unpaid Obligations. In addition, the Custodian is hereby directed by the Borrower to dispose of the Borrower’s assets as selected by the Investment Manager to the extent necessary to repay all amounts due to the Bank from the Borrower to the extent that the Obligations have not been paid when due or if an Enforcement Event has occurred and is continuing and the Obligations have been accelerated.

No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.

(b) The Bank may at any time sell or assign all or any part of the Obligations hereunder, or grant to one or more banks or other institutions participating interests in the Loans.

Borrower’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Bank with respect to any Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due.

No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.

Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.

THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW OTHER THAN NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401).
