to Collateral, Books and Records.
At
reasonable times, and on one (1) Business Day’s notice, Bank, or its agents,
shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy
Borrower’s books and records. If the Streamline Option is not in effect, such
inspections and audits shall occur at least two times per year. If the
Streamline Option is in effect, audits shall be limited to one per year if
the
Streamline Option has been in effect for that full year. Bank shall take
reasonable steps to keep confidential all information obtained in any such
inspection or audit, but Bank shall have the right to disclose any such
information to its auditors, regulatory agencies, and attorneys, and pursuant
to
any subpoena or other legal process. The foregoing inspections and audits shall
be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $750 per person per
day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then current standard
charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses; provided that

Credit Extensions regularly. Borrower shall not be required to pay such expenses
more than two times per fiscal year unless such inspections and audits are
pursuant to Borrower’s request for a Credit Extension. Audits following
termination of the Streamline Option shall be at Borrower’s expense. In the
event Borrower and Bank schedule an inspection or audit more than ten (10)
days
in advance, and Borrower seeks to reschedule the inspection or audit with less
than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s
rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a cancellation fee of $1,000 plus
any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank, to compensate Bank for the
anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation.
