For purposes of clarification only, the following is an example of how the interest rate adjustor will be calculated:


 


1.  As of the Eleventh Amendment Effective Date, the Program Fee Percentages shall be as set forth on Schedule 3.5 and such Program Fee Percentages were established based on the Base Twelve Month LIBOR of 1.00%.


 


2. If at the end of the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2012 the Twelve Month LIBOR is 0.74% (a movement of 26 basis points from the Base Twelve Month LIBOR), then the Program Fee Percentages will be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.6 of this Agreement to the rates set forth above in this Schedule 3.6 under the >.51% and <0.75% LIBOR increment.  Such adjusted Program Fee Percentages will be effective as of the first day of the second month of the calendar quarter beginning on July 1, 2012 (i.e., such rates will be implemented on August 1, 2012) and will remain in effect until the Program Fee Percentages for the next quarterly adjustment become effective (as described below).


 


3.  At the end of the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2012, adjustments to the then current Program Fee Percentages will made as follows:  (1) the adjustments made to the Program Fee Percentages described in Item 2 above will be eliminated, (2) the Program Fee Percentages will revert to those set forth above in this Schedule 3.6 under the >.76% and <1.25 LIBOR increment, (3) any adjustments to the Program Fee Percentages for the calendar quarter beginning on October 1, 2012 will be determined in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Agreement based on the movement of the Twelve Month LIBOR as compared to the Base Twelve Month LIBOR of 1.00%, (4) any adjusted Program Fee Percentages will become effective as of the first day of the second month of the calendar quarter beginning on October 1, 2012 (i.e. such rates will be implemented on November 1, 2012), and (5) the Program Fee Percentages in effect prior to the foregoing adjustment will remain in effect until the first day of the second month of the  calendar quarter that begins on October 1, 2012 (i.e. such rates will remain in effect until November 1, 2012).


 


4.  If at the end of the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2012, the Twelve Month LIBOR is 0.99% (a movement of 1 basis point from the Base Twelve Month LIBOR of 1.00%), then (1) effective as of November 1, 2012, the Program Fee Percentages for the calendar quarter beginning on October 1, 2012 will be those set forth above in this Schedule 3.6 under the >.76% and <1.25 LIBOR increment because the movement of 1 basis point does not exceed the 25 basis points movement necessary for an additional adjustment, and (2) the Program Fee Percentages in effect pursuant to Item 2 above will remain in effect until November 1, 2012.


 


5.  For the avoidance of doubt the foregoing example does not account for any pricing adjustments (other than for cost of funds) that may be made pursuant to the Agreement.
