NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and

2.2 Section 2.4(c) (Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee). Section 2.4(c) is

(c) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. Payable monthly in arrears, on the last

Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line
Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to four-tenths of one percent (0.40%) per
annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by
Bank; provided that during a Quarterly Streamline Period or a Monthly Streamline
Period, such fee shall be reduced to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per
annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by
Bank. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this
calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the
difference between (i) the Revolving Line (including, without limitation, the

foregoing inspections and audits shall be conducted at Borrower’s expense and
shall occur no more often than once every twelve (12) months (or more frequently

higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the
same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In the event Borrower and Bank
schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or
seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to
Bank, then (without limiting any of Bank’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall
