2.2 Section 13 (Definitions). The following terms and
their respective definitions set forth in Section 13.1 are

section of The Wall Street
Journal or any successor publication thereto as the
“prime rate” then in effect; provided that, in the
event such rate of interest is less than zero, such rate shall be
deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement; and provided
further that if such rate of interest, as set forth from time to
time in the money rates section of The Wall Street Journal,
becomes unavailable for any reason as determined by Bank, the
“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum

not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by
Bank in connection with extensions of credit to
debtors).
