Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Termination Date, the Credit Union, at its sole and absolute discretion, may thereafter permit the Borrower to draw funds hereunder in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof. Any draws permitted by Credit Union after the Termination Date shall not constitute an extension, renewal or modification of the Line of Credit or the Termination Date, the waiver by Credit Union of any Event of Default, or otherwise obligate the Credit Union to permit subsequent draws hereunder.

g) Additional Documentation. Borrower covenants that it will promptly obtain and deliver, or cause to be obtained and delivered any additional loan or other documentation reasonably requested by Credit Union which is customary for lenders in the commercial church and ministry loan business in order to make each Collateral Note and Commercial/Church Loan marketable.

.50%. It is agreed that interest on the Facility Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (366 in leap year) day year unless calculation on that basis would result in Credit Union receiving interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest which Credit Union is permitted by law

to contract for and charge, in which case such Indebtedness shall bear interest at such maximum rate. The Indebtedness shall also bear interest after maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) at the maximum rate of interest which Credit Union is permitted by law to contract for and charge thereon.

j) Notice and Manner of Requesting Advances. All Advances shall be funded through a Credit Facility clearing account upon which Borrower will draw funds either by check or by wireless/electronic advance in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, to be funded in accordance with the Credit Union’s then current funding procedures, which procedures may change from time to time in its sole discretion.
