If on or before the Term Expiration Date, Lender grants a short-term extension of the Commitment, the Commitment will be renewed for an additional year only if Lender provides to the Borrower a Renewal Notice on or before such extended expiration date.

SECTION 9.    LETTERS OF CREDIT. If agreeable to Lender in its sole discretion in each instance, in addition to loans, the Borrower may utilize the Commitment to open irrevocable letters of credit for its account. Each letter of credit will be issued within a reasonable period of time after Xxxxxx’s receipt of a duly completed and executed copy of Xxxxxx’s then current form of Application and Reimbursement Agreement or, if applicable, in accordance with the terms of any CoTrade Agreement between the parties, and will reduce the amount available under the Commitment by the maximum amount capable of being drawn under such letter of credit. Any draw under any letter of credit issued hereunder will be deemed a loan under the Commitment and will be repaid in accordance with this Promissory Note. Each letter of credit must be in form and content acceptable to Lender and must expire no later than the maturity date of the Commitment.

SECTION 10.    OVERADVANCES. Lender shall not be obligated to make advances in excess of the Commitment (“Overadvances”), but may elect to do so in its sole discretion. Each such Overadvance shall be secured hereunder and under Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement. If Lender approves an Overadvance, the Borrower shall reimburse Lender immediately and without notice or demand for (1) the full amount of each overadvance; (2) all overadvance fees and charges that Lender may impose from time to time; (3) interest on the amount of each overadvance at the rate that applies to the loan(s) for the day such overadvance was created and for each following day until it has been repaid, and (4) all losses Lender incurs in collecting the overadvance and any fees, charges, expenses or interest relating to it. In addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender, Lender may (and the Borrower specifically gives Lender the authority to): (1) set off the unpaid balance of any overadvance against any debt or other amount that Lender owes to the Borrower; (2) liquidate any investments or other assets in any account the Borrower maintains with Lender or in connection with the loan(s); and (3) enforce its interests in any available collateral it holds to secure the Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the Credit Agreement. If Lender elects to make an advance in excess of the Commitment, doing so does not obligate Lender to make or permit future Overadvances under the Commitment.

SECTION 11.    BENCHMARK AND TENOR REPLACEMENT AND MODIFICATION.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Promissory Note or in any other Loan Document,

(A)if at any time Lender determines that (1) any interest rate offered hereunder (each such interest rate, a “Benchmark”) or any tenor of such Benchmark has been, or is likely to be, discontinued; any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is not or is likely to not be representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark or tenor is intended to measure; or (3) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark does not, or is likely not to, adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making or maintaining loans hereunder, or (4) any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is, or is likely to be, unlawful, Lender may amend this Promissory Note and any other Loan Document to replace such Benchmark or tenor with a Benchmark Replacement or to remove such tenor.

The selection of a Benchmark Replacement by Lender may be for one, some or all tenors of the then- current Benchmark. “Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Benchmark or tenor, a replacement benchmark rate, which may include a spread adjustment, that has been selected by Lender in its sole discretion, giving due consideration to (a) any recommendation by a relevant governmental body of a replacement benchmark rate, the mechanism for determining such a rate or a spread adjustment, or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate or a spread adjustment. Lender may effect such amendments to this Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate, which amendments will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Promissory Note or any other Loan Document; provided that Lender shall give the Borrower notice of any such amendment. In no event shall any Benchmark Replacement be less than zero percent (0.00%).

(B)if at any time Lender determines in its discretion that any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark is unavailable for any reason on a temporary basis, Lender may (i) calculate such Benchmark or tenor using such previous or historical publications of such Benchmark or tenor as Lender determines in its discretion to be appropriate, (ii) suspend the availability of such tenor or (iii) select and apply a Benchmark Replacement during such period.

(C)Lender will have the right to make from time to time any technical, administrative or operational changes that Xxxxxx decides in its discretion may be appropriate to permit or enhance the efficient administration of any Benchmark or any tenor of any Benchmark or the adoption, implementation or administration of any Benchmark Replacement or any tenor of any Benchmark Replacement. Any amendments implementing such changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Promissory Note or any other Loan Document; provided that Lender shall give the Borrower notice of any such amendment.
