(including without limitation penalties) it
may reasonably incur as a result of or in
connection with any prepayment or failure
to make a prepayment after notice of the
same is given.

such person or entity with respect to
leases, (iv) the amount available for
drawing under outstanding standby letters
of credit issued for the account of such
person or entity and the amount of other

liabilities, each to the extent not
otherwise treated separately as Debt, (v)

business) or guaranteed by such person or
entity directly or indirectly in any manner
including without limitation contingent

or entity whether or not the underlying
obligations have been assumed by such
person or entity.
"Eligible Subsidiaries" shall
mean consolidated Subsidiaries wholly owned
by Detection or Radionics that are
Guarantors, that have provided the Bank
with security interests in all of their
assets unless otherwise agreed by the Bank,
and that, except for intercompany
transactions with the Borrower and other
Eligible Subsidiaries, themselves comply in
all respects with the same requirements as
are imposed upon the Borrower in Articles
8, 9, 10, and 11 of this Agreement.
"Increased Cost" means any
additional amounts sufficient to compensate
the Bank and any assignee or participant of
the Bank for any reduction in any amount
receivable by such Bank or participant in
respect of the Obligations or any increased
costs of funding or maintaining the
Obligations as a result of the adoption of,
change of, or change in the interpretation
or administration of any law, regulation,
guideline or policy by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by
the Bank or the Bank's holding company (or
any assignee or participant of the Bank or
any of their holding companies), with any
request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, which
has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return of the Bank, the Bank's
holding company, or any assignee or
participant of the Bank or any of their
holding companies, as a consequence of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and all related documents and agreements,
the existence of the Bank's commitment, or
any note bearing interest at a rate based
on the LIBOR Rate, to a level below that
which the Bank, the Bank's holding company,

could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Bank's, assignee's, and
participant's policies), including without
limitation including without limitation any

rate per anum equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (and rounding to the

stated maximum rate of all reserve
requirements pursuant to Regulation D of

without limitation any marginal, emergency,
supplemental, special, or other reserves
required by applicable law. The LIBOR Rate

Increased Cost.

based upon LIBOR for any particular
interest rate period, the obligation of the
Bank to make advances available at a rate
based upon LIBOR shall be suspended until

the circumstances causing such suspension
no longer exist.
