b. Interest. Each Loan shall earn interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days of each year (365 or 366) as follows:
i. LIBOR Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue each day on each LIBOR Rate Loan from and including the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto until; but not including, the last day of each such Interest Period or the day the LIBOR Rate Loan is paid in full (if sooner) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate, as determined using LIBOR in effect on the following dates, as applicable: (a) for new LIBOR Rate Loans, two (2) London Business Days before the Draw Date; (b) for continuations of LIBOR Rate Loans (other than as provided for in subsection 4(c) below), the Joint Business Day the Bank receives (or is deemed to receive) the Notice of Continuation in accordance with the terms of this Note; (c) for LIBOR Rate Loans where the Automatic Continuation Option is in effect, the applicable Automatic Adjustment Rate Determination Date for such LIBOR Rate Loan.
ii. Base Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue on a Base Rate Loan from and including the first date a Loan becomes a Base Rate Loan to, but not including, the day such Base Rate Loan is paid in full, at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective on the date of such change.

Solely to the extent necessary to prevent interest under this Note from exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, any amount that would be treated as excessive under a final judicial interpretation of applicable law shall be deemed to have been a mistake and automatically canceled, and, if received by the Bank, shall be refunded to Borrower.
d. Payments; Late Charge; Default Rate. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder from the date hereof until paid in full. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the 1st day of each month, commencing September 1, 2011, and on the date of payment in full of this Note. All Payments shall be made in immediately available United States funds at any banking office of the Bank. Absent demand for payment in full.

If any payment is not received within five days of its due date, Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to the greatest of (a) 5% of the delinquent amount, or (b) $50.00. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under this Note (excluding any defaulted payment of principal accruing interest in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) shall, at the option of the Bank, increase to 4 percentage points above the otherwise applicable rate (“Default Rate”), and any judgment entered hereon or otherwise in connection with any suit to collect amounts due hereunder shall bear interest at such Default Rate. Payments may be applied in any order in the sole discretion of the Bank, but prior to demand, shall be applied first to past due interest, Expenses, late charges, and principal payments, if any, which are past due, then to current interest and Expenses and late charges, and last to remaining principal.
e. Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans; Breakage Fee. If Borrower (i) pays the principal balance, in whole or in part, on any LIBOR Rate Loan, on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period, (ii) fails to draw down or accept an advance, in whole or in part, on a LIBOR Rate Loan after giving a Request therefor, or (iii) otherwise tries to revoke any LIBOR Rate Loan, in whole or in part, or if there occurs a Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) or the applicable interest-rate on any Loan is converted from the LIBOR Rate to the Base Rate pursuant to this Note; then Borrower shall be liable for and shall pay the Bank, on demand, the higher of $250.00 or the actual amount of the liabilities, expenses, costs or funding losses that are a direct or indirect result of such prepayment or other condition described above, whether such liability, expense, cost or loss is by reason of (a) any reduction in yield, by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of any deposit or other funds acquired by the Bank, (b) the fixing of the interest rate payable on any LIBOR Rate Loans, or (c) otherwise (collectively, the “Breakage Fee”). The determination by the Bank of the foregoing amount shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.
To the extent that the Aggregate Outstandings exceeds the Maximum Principal Amount, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans to the extent necessary to cause compliance with the foregoing. To the extent that such prepayments are insufficient to cause such compliance, the Borrower shall pledge to the Bank, Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall, which Cash Collateral shall Secure the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower with respect to drawings Under Letters of Credit.
f. Amendment Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Bank an amendment fee of $18,000 in connection with this Note. Such amendment fee shall be deemed an Obligation under the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed fully earned upon execution of this Note by Borrower.
g. Early Termination Fee. If Borrower shall terminate the Credit Agreement, this Note or any of the Loans hereunder for any reason, whether by voluntary prepayment or otherwise, or the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case, prior to September 30, 2013, the Borrower shall pay to Bank an early termination fee in an amount equal $50,000. Such-early termination fee shall be deemed an Obligation under the Credit Agreement.
3. LOANS; LETTERS OF CREDIT; USE OF PROCEEDS.
a. General. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Loan advanced hereunder shall be in the form of a LIBOR Rate Loan. The Bank may make any Loan in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written, teletransmitted or other request (the “Request(s)”) that the Bank in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by an Authorized Person. The Bank may act on the Request of any Authorized Person until the Bank shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such Authorized Person. The Bank shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person as a direct or indirect result of making any Loan pursuant to this paragraph. This Note is the “Note” referred to in the Credit Agreement and is issued Pursuant to and entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of the terms and conditions under which the Loans evidenced hereby were made or will be made and are to be repaid.

4. CONTINUATION AND CONVERSION.
a. Election. An Authorized Person may, upon irrevocable Request to the Bank in accordance with subsection (b) below, elect to continue, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any or a portion (subject to the Minimum Borrowing Amount limitation) of any LIBOR Rate Loan with the same or a different Interest Period, provided no partial continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan with a different Interest Period shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Rate Loan with the same Interest Period to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount.
b. Notice of Continuation.
i. For an election under Section 4(a) above, an Authorized Person must deliver to the Bank, by 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on a New York Business Day, a Notice of Continuation for an election under Section 4(a) (“Notice of Continuation” or “Notice”), specifying:
(a) the aggregate amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan to be continued;
(b) the applicable LIBOR Rate selection and corresponding Interest Period duration for each LIBOR Rate Loan to be continued (see LIBOR Rate definition above); and
(c) whether the Automatic Continuation Option will be in effect for each such LIBOR Rate Loan. The Automatic Continuation Option shall be in effect for each LIBOR Rate Loan, unless otherwise specified by Borrower in writing.
ii. For any election in accordance with Section 4(b)(i) above, the Continuation Date shall be the later of (A) the last day of the applicable Interest Period, or (B) two (2) Joint Business Days following the date the Bank receives the Notice of Continuation except as otherwise determined by the Bank in its sole discretion. If a Notice is received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on any New York Business Day, such Notice Will be deemed to have been received on the next New York Business Day. Accordingly, as an example, if Borrower has a LIBOR Rate Loan with a one month Interest Period ending on June 15 and wants to continue the LIBOR Rate Loan with a two month Interest Period, Borrower must deliver to the Bank an appropriate Notice of Continuation by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on June 13 (assenting that June 13 is a New York Business Day and June 14 and 15 are Joint Business Days).
iii. For LIBOR Rate Loans with the Automatic Continuation Option in effect, the Bank shall, at the end of each Interest Period, automatically continue such LIBOR Rate Loan with the same Interest Period.
iv. The Bank may take action on any Notice in reliance upon any oral, telephonic, written or teletransmitted Notice that the Bank in good faith believes to be valid and to have been made by Borrower or on behalf of Borrower by an Authorized Person. No Notice may be. delivered by e-mail. The Bank may act on the Notice from any Authorized Person until the Bank shall have received from Borrower, and had a reasonable time to act on, written notice revoking the authority of such Authorized’ Person. The Bank shall incur no liability to Borrower or to any other person to a direct or indirect result of acting on any Notice under this Note, The Bank, in its sole discretion, may reject any Notice that is incomplete.
c. Expiration of Interest Period. With respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan for which an Automatic Continuation Option is not in effect, if Borrower does not deliver to the Bank an appropriate Notice of Continuation (in accordance with the terms hereof) at least two (2) Joint Business Days before the end of an Interest Period, the Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to immediately, and without notice, convert such LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan and such Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate until two (2) Joint Business Days after the Bank receives an appropriate Notice (in accordance with the terms hereof) electing to convert the Loan from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan. A Notice of Continuation received one: (1) Joint Business Day before the end of an Interest Period may not effectuate a continuation of such Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period. Rather, such LIBOR Rate Loan may be converted (in the manner described above) to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period. Such Notice of Continuation, however, will be effective two (2) Joint Business Days from the date it is received (or deemed to be received) by the Bank.
d. Conversion upon Default. Unless the Bank shall otherwise consent in writing, if (i) Borrower fails to pay when due, in whole or in part, the indebtedness under the Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) there exists any condition or. event which with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both shall constitute an event of default under any of Borrower’s, agreement with the Bank, if any, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may (i) permit any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to continue until the last day of the applicable Interest Period at which time such Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan or (ii) convert any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans into a Base Rate Loan before the end of the applicable Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. Nothing herein shall be, construed to be a waiver by the Bank to have any Loan accrue interest at the Default Rate of interest (which shall be calculated from the higher of the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate) or the right of the Bank to charge and collect a Breakage Fee.
5. SETOFF. The Bank shall have the right to set off against the amounts owing under this Note any property held in a deposit or other account with the Bank or any of its affiliates or otherwise owing by the Bank or any of its affiliates in any capacity to Borrower or any guarantor or endorser of this Note. Such set-off shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately at the time the Bank or such affiliate elects to do so.
6. FACILITY.
a. Generally. Any Request for a Loan hereunder shall be limited in amount, such that the sum of (i) the principal amount of such Request; (ii) the Outstanding Principal Amount under this Note; and (iii) the aggregate face amounts of (or, if greater, Borrower’s aggregate reimbursement obligations to the Bank (or any of its affiliates) in connection with) any Letters of Credit issued by the Bank (or any of its affiliates) at the request (or for the benefit of) Borrower, pursuant to this facility; does not exceed the Maximum Principal Amount under this Note.
b. Bankruptcy Event. This Note is payable on the Termination Date; provided, however, that the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall automatically become immediately due and payable if Borrower commences, or has commenced against it (and is not dismissed within 45 days), any proceeding or request for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws now or hereafter in effect in the United States of America or any state or territory thereof or any foreign jurisdiction or any formal or informal proceeding for dissolution, liquidation or the settlement of claims against or winding up of affairs of Borrower (a “Bankruptcy Event”), or upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event with regard to any guarantor or endorser of this Note.

7. BANK RECORDS CONCLUSIVE. The Bank shall set forth on a schedule attached to this Note or maintained on computer, the date and original principal amount of each Loan and the date and amount of each payment to be applied to the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note. The Outstanding Principal Amount set forth on any such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the Outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and of all Loans. No failure by the Bank to make, and no error by the Bank in making, any annotation on any such schedule shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal and interest of each Loan or any other obligation of Borrower to the Bank pursuant to this Note.
8. PURPOSE. Borrower certifies (a) that no Loan will be used to purchase margin stock except with the Bank’s express prior written consent for each such purchase and (b) that all Loans shall be used for a business purpose, and not for any personal, family or household purpose.

b. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Bank shall determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, the Bank will give notice of such determination to Borrower.

If Borrower does not revoke such Request or Notice, the Bank may make, or continue the Loans, as proposed by Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable Request or Notice submitted by Borrower, but such Loans shall be made or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of LIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be.
c. Illegality. If the Bank shall determine that the introduction of any law (statutory or common), treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of an arbitrator or of a governmental authority or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful for the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to Borrower, the Bank may suspend the making of LIBOR Rate Loans until the Bank shall have notified Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination shall no longer exist. If the Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest, either on the last date of the Interest Period thereof if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans.
