(a)  Interest Only Period.  A variable annual rate equal to the Prime Rate plus Zero Percent (0%), which rate shall change contemporaneously with any change in the Prime Rate.







(b)  Principal and Interest Period.   An adjustable annual rate equal to Two and One Half Percent (2.5%) above the one month LIBOR.  Such adjust­ments shall become effective on the Reset Date. Bank shall not be required to notify Borrower of adjustments in said interest rate.


 


 


Section 2.4G.5.  Prepayment of the Seventh Term Loan.







(a) With respect to the Seventh Term Loan, Borrower may prepay, (x) a Libor Loan only upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable), and any such prepayment shall occur only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Libor Loan.  Borrower shall pay to Bank, the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee (as defined below) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:  (i) any payment of a Libor Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; and (ii) any failure by Borrower to pay a Libor Loan on the date due. “Libor Loan Prepayment Fee” means an amount computed as follows: The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the Libor Rate in effect at the time of prepayment, plus the margin applicable thereto.  If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no Libor Loan Prepayment Fee.  If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid.  The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is made.  Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United States Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which prepayment is made.  The resulting amount shall be the Libor Loan Prepayment Fee due to Bank upon the prepayment of a Libor Loan.  If by reason of an Event of Default, Bank elects to declare the Seventh Term Note to be immediately due and payable, then any Libor Loan Prepayment Fee with respect to a Libor Loan shall become due and payable in the same manner as though Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment; and (b) the Seventh Term Loan while bearing interest at the Prime Rate, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.

(c)  All prepayments shall be applied first to all fees, costs, expenses incurred by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, then to any late charges, then to accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of such prepayment and the remainder to installments of principal due hereunder in inverse order of maturity.  No amount prepaid by the Borrower with respect to the Seventh Term Loan may be reborrowed.







Section 2.4G.6.  Maturity.  Except where this Agreement or any instrument evidencing indebtedness hereunder provides that the obligations of Borrower shall become due upon any earlier date and notwithstanding any applicable provision permitting repayment at a later date, the Seventh Term Loan shall become fully and finally due and payable on the Seventh Term Loan Maturity Date.







Section 2.4G.7.  Interest Rate Protection Agreement.  On the date of the Fifth Amendment, Borrower shall enter into a one (1) year forward Hedging Contract with the Bank in order to eliminate the risk with respect to fluctuation of the interest rate in connection with the Seventh Term Loan.  Such Hedging Contract shall, at all times, be in a notational amount sufficient to cover the entire outstanding principal amount of the Seventh Term Loan.  If such Hedging Contract shall expire prior to the Seventh Term Loan Maturity Date and leave any principal of the Seventh Term Loan uncovered thereby, or if for any other reason any principal portion of the Seventh Term Loan shall be uncovered thereby during the period of time commencing on the Conversion Date and ending on the Seventh Term Loan Maturity Date, such uncovered amount shall be immediately due and payable.  All costs, expenses, penalties and indemnity obligations that may be incurred by Bank as a result of the Borrower’s default under, or termination of, any such Hedging Contract, including but not limited to the costs of unwinding thereof, shall be (a) subject to immediate reimbursement by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof and to such Hedging Contract, and (b) secured by the Security Agreement, and all Other Documents (other than the Mortgage, the Plainville Mortgage or the Agawam Mortgage).
