fee in the amount set forth below if such termination is effective in the

agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.
In addition, Lender shall be entitled to such early termination fee upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and

Borrower or permit the use of cash collateral under the United States
Bankruptcy Code. Borrower may elect to terminate this Agreement as of any
date; provided, that Borrower shall provide Lender with fifteen (15) days'
prior written notice of such election (which notice shall specify the
