9.11 Entire Agreement.

THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY BORROWER AND LENDER
AND BORROWER AND LENDER EACH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF EITHER OF THEM HAS OR HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.

1. Definitions. Any terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Working Capital Line of Credit Agreement dated of even date herewith between the Maker and the Lender (as the same may be amended or modified, the "Credit Agreement").
2. Rates Change Automatically and Without Notice. Without notice to Maker or any other person or entity and to the full extent allowed by applicable law from time to time in effect, the Base Rate and the Ceiling Rate shall each automatically fluctuate upward and downward as and in the amount by which Lender's said prime rate, and such maximum nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law, respectively, fluctuate.
3. Calculation of Interest. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed in a year (up to 365, or 366 in a leap year) deemed to consist of 360 days, unless the Ceiling Rate would thereby be exceeded, in which event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Ceiling Rate, interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar year in which it accrued.
4. Excess Interest Will be Refunded or Credited. If, for any reason whatsoever, the interest paid or received on this Note during its full term produces a rate which exceeds the Ceiling Rate, the Lender shall refund to the payor or, at the Lender's option, credit against the principal of this Note such portion of that interest as shall be necessary to cause the interest paid on this Note to produce a rate equal to the Ceiling Rate.
5. Interest Will be Spread. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent necessary to avoid violating applicable usury laws, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of this note, so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the full term of this Note.
6. Payment Schedule. The principal of this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest, the balance to principal.
7. Prepayment. Maker may prepay this Note only as provided in the Credit Agreement.
8. Revolving Credit. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other provisions of this Note, Maker may borrow, repay and reborrow against this Note at any time unless and until a default (however designated) or event (an "Event of Potential Default") which, if not cured after notice or before the lapse of time (or both) would develop into a default under this Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents has occurred which the Lender has not declared to have been fully cured or waived, and (except as the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents may otherwise provide) there is no limit on the number of advances against this Note so long as the total unpaid principal of this Note at any time outstanding does not exceed the Commitment. Interest on the amount of each advance against this Note shall be computed on the amount of the unpaid balance of that advance from the date it is made until the date it is repaid. If Maker's right (if any) to borrow against this Note shall ever lapse because of the occurrence of any default, it shall not be reinstated (or construed from any course of conduct or otherwise to have been reinstated) unless and until the Lender shall declare in a signed writing that it has been cured or waived. The unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total of all principal lent against this Note to Maker or for Maker's account less the sum of all principal payments and permitted prepayments on this Note received by the Lender. Absent manifest error, the Lender's computer records shall on any day conclusively evidence the unpaid balance of this Note and its advances and payments history posted up to that day. All loans and advances and all payments and permitted prepayments made on this Note may be (but are not required to be) endorsed by the Lender on the schedule attached hereto (which is hereby made a part hereof for all purposes) or otherwise recorded in the Lender's computer or manual records; provided, that the Lender's failure to make notation of (a) any principal advance or accrual of interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's obligations or the Lender's rights with respect to that advance or accrual, or (b) any payment or permitted prepayment of principal or interest shall not cancel, limit or otherwise affect Maker's entitlement to credit for that payment as of the date of its receipt by the Lender.
9. Credit Agreement. This Note has been issued pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, to which reference is made for all purposes. Advances against this Note by Lender hereof shall be governed by the Credit Agreement. Lender is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement. As additional security for this Note, Maker hereby grants to Lender and all other present and future holders an express lien against, security
interest in and contractual right of setoff in and to, all property and any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by the Lender or other holder for any Maker's credit or account.
10. Defaults and Remedies. Time is of the essence. Maker's failure to pay any principal or accrued interest owing on this Note when due and after expiration of any applicable period for notice and right to cure such a default which is specifically provided for in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of this Note, or the occurrence of any default under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall constitute a default under this Note, whereupon the Lender may elect to exercise any or all rights, powers and remedies afforded (a) under the Credit Agreement and all other papers related to this Note and (b) by law, including the right to accelerate the maturity of this entire Note.
In addition to and cumulative of such rights, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time after any such default, at Lender's option, without notice to Maker or any other person or entity (all rights to any such notice being hereby waived), to set off and apply any and all of any Maker's deposits at any time held by the Lender, and any other debt at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or account of any Maker, against the outstanding balance of this Note, in such order and manner as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
The Lender's right to accelerate this Note on account of any late payment or other default shall not be waived or deemed waived by the Lender by reason of the Lender's having previously accepted one or more late payments or by reason of the Lender's otherwise not accelerating this Note or exercising other remedies for any default, and Lender shall never be obligated or deemed obligated to notify Maker or any other person that Lender is requiring strict compliance with this Note or any papers securing or otherwise relating to it before Lender may accelerate this Note or exercise any other remedy.
11. Legal Costs. If Lender retains an attorney in connection with any such default or to collect, enforce or defend this Note or any papers intended to secure or guarantee it in any lawsuit or in any probate, reorganization, bankruptcy or other proceeding, or if Maker sues Lender in connection with this Note or any such papers and does not prevail, then Maker agrees to pay to each Lender, in addition to principal and interest, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in trying to collect this Note or in any such suit or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys' fees.
12. Waivers. Except only for any notices which are specifically required by the Credit Agreement, Maker and any and all co-makers, endorsers, guarantors and sureties severally waive notice (including, but not limited to, notice of intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, notice of protest and notice of dishonor), demand, presentment for payment, protest, diligence in collecting and the filing of suit for the purpose of fixing liability and consent that the time of payment hereof may be extended and re-extended from time to time without notice to any of them. Each such person agrees that his, her or its liability on or with respect to this Note shall not be affected by any release of or change in any guaranty or security at any time existing or by any failure to perfect or maintain perfection of any lien against or security interest in any such security or the partial
or complete unenforceability of any guaranty or other surety obligation, in each case in whole or in part, with or without notice and before or after maturity.

If at any time after the date of this Note, Lender determines that (a) any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy of general applicability has been adopted or changed, or (b) its interpretation or administration by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency has changed, and determines that such change or the Lender's compliance with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy of general applicability (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Note or any related papers to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's own capital adequacy policies) by an amount the Lender deems to be material, then Maker promises to pay from time to time to the order of the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender as specified above shall be given to Maker as soon as practicable after the Lender has made such determination and shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. Maker shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after the Lender gives it. In preparing such certificate, the Lender may employ such assumptions and make such allocations of costs and expenses as the Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx reasonable and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.
