outstanding Letters of Credit.
For the purposes of this agreement, the Borrower may
include in its borrowing base certificate, as
Eligible Accounts - Domestic, the anticipated tax
refund for the year ending March 31, 2000, which is
estimated to be $2,400,000. Upon filing by the
Borrower, for the tax refund the Borrower shall use
in the Borrowing Base Certificate the actual amount
of the requested refund as determined or verified by
their independent auditors.
(2) PAYMENT. The Revolving Loan shall be due
and payable on April 1, 2001, and bear interest at
the Contract Rate and shall otherwise be evidenced
by, and repayable in accordance with, the Note, but,
in the absence of such revolving promissory note,
shall be evidenced by the Lender's record of
disbursements and repayments.
