  Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations. If at any time the outstanding Revolving
  Loans exceeds either the Revolving Loan Limit or the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit, in each case minus
  the Letter of Credit Obligations, or any portion of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations
  exceeds any applicable sublimit within the Revolving Loan Limit, Borrower shall immediately, and
  without the necessity of demand by Agent, pay to Agent such amount as may be necessary to eliminate
  such excess and Agent shall apply such payment to the Revolving Loans in such order as Agent shall
  determine in its sole but reasonable discretion; provided that Agent may, in its sole discretion,
  permit such excess (the Interim Advance) to remain outstanding and continue to advance Revolving Loans to Borrower on behalf of Lenders
  without the consent of any Lender for a period of up to ninety (90) calendar days, so long as (i) the
  amount of the Interim Advances does not exceed at any time Two Million Three Hundred Thousand and
  No/100 Dollars ($2,300,000), (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving
  Loans does not exceed the Maximum Loan Limit, and (iii) Agent has not been notified by Requisite
  Lenders to cease making such Revolving Loans. If the Interim Advance is not repaid in full within
  ninety (90) days of the initial occurrence of the Interim Advance, no future advances may be made
  to Borrower without the consent of all Lenders until the Interim Advance is repaid in full.
