(A) Rate of Interest. The unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest at the rate of eleven and one-half percent (11½%) per annum, to be calculated in accordance with Section 2.3(B). Commencing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest at the rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13½%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).
(B) Computation and Payment of Interest. Interest on the Term Loan and all other Obligations shall be computed on the daily principal balance on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on the Term Loan, both the date of funding of the First Tranche and the Second Tranche, as the case may be, and the date of any payment of the Term Loan shall be included. Interest on the Term Loan and all other Obligations shall be payable to Agent for the benefit of Lenders quarterly in arrears on the last day of each quarter (each, a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”) by automatic wire transfer to Agent’s bank account, and on the date of any prepayment of the Term Loan, and at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise.
(C) Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Agent shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control; (2) neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Agent may have received hereunder shall be, at Agent’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations or accrued and unpaid interest (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payer thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) neither Borrower nor any Loan Party shall have any action against Agent or any Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until Agent shall have received the amount of interest which Agent would have received during such period on such Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

(A) Transaction Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Agent for its own account, in cash, a non-refundable fee (the “Closing Date Transaction Fee”) in the amount of Three Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000), less the sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) previously paid to Agent, as provided in the Commitment Letter and, on the Second Tranche Closing Date, Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Agent for its own account, in cash, a non-refundable fee (the “Second Tranche Transaction Fee”, and together with the Closing Date Transaction Fee, the “Transaction Fee”) in the amount of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000). In addition, (i) on the Closing Date, Borrower shall be obligated to pay or reimburse Agent in cash for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any matters contemplated by this Agreement which are due and payable as of the Closing Date, less the remaining portion, if any, of the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) previously paid to Agent, as provided in the Commitment Letter and (ii) on the Second Tranche Closing Date, Borrower shall be obligated to pay or reimburse Agent in cash for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with any matters contemplated by this Agreement which are due and payable as of the Second Tranche Closing Date.

Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in addition to any other amounts payable under this Agreement, a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) on each date (each an “Unscheduled Payment Date”) on which any unscheduled prepayment of principal on the Term Loan is made (whether such unscheduled prepayment is of all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan and whether such unscheduled prepayment is optional or mandatory or results from acceleration or enforcement of any rights granted hereunder), provided that no such Prepayment Fee shall be charged in the event that such prepayment is mandatorily made based on Excess Cash Flow. The Prepayment Fee shall be determined in accordance with the following schedule and is based on the principal amount of the Term Loan so prepaid on the applicable Unscheduled Payment Date (the “Prepayment Amount”):
