INTEREST RATE RIDER
This Rider is made part of the Amendment to Loan Agreement and Note (the
"AMENDMENT") dated AUGUST 14, 2005 by the undersigned borrower (the "BORROWER")
in favor of U.S. BANK N.A. (the "BANK') as of the date identified below. The
following interest rate description is hereby added to the Amendment:
The unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate of 5.170%.
If this fixed rate facility is prepaid, whether by the Borrower voluntarily
or as a result of acceleration upon default or otherwise, the Borrower agrees
to pay all of the Bank's costs, expenses and Interest Differential (as
determined by the Bank) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term
'Interest Differential' shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or
the financial loss incurred by the Bank resulting from prepayment, calculated
as the difference between the amount of interest the Bank would have earned
(from like investments in the Money Markets as of the first day of the loan)
had prepayment not occurred and the interest the Bank will actually earn
(from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment) as
a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. The term 'Money
Markets' refers to one or more wholesale funding markets available to the
Bank, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper,
eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds, interest rate swaps or
others. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower
agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present
value. The Bank's internal records of applicable interest rates shall be
determinative in the absence of manifest error. All prepayments shall be in
an amount of at least $100,000 or, if less, the remaining entire principal
balance of the loan.
