(b) In addition to the Default Rate, if any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Bank a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 15 or more days. Borrower acknowledges that the late charge imposed herein
represents a reasonable estimate of the expenses of Bank incurred because of such lateness. Acceptance by Bank of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Banks right to collect such late charge or

Section 2.2(a).



2.8. Business Days. If the date for any
payment hereunder falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such
case be included in the computation of payments of interest or commission, as the case may be.



2.9. Extension of Stated Expiration Date. Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree that the Stated Expiration Date may be extended for successive one-year terms which shall terminate on the
anniversary of the then effective expiration date of each Letter of Credit unless it provides written notice at least 90 days prior to the then effective expiration date of its election not to renew.



2.10. Statement of Account. If Bank provides Borrower with a statement
of account on a periodic basis, such statement will be presumed complete and accurate and will be definitive and binding on Borrower, unless objected to with specificity by Borrower in writing within forty-five (45) days after receipt.

(a) If after the date hereof, a Change of Law or compliance by Bank with any

the amount received or receivable by Bank under this Agreement, under such Letter of Credit or hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand
by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such increased cost or reduction.



(b) If Bank shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any
change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on Banks capital as a consequence of its obligations with respect to such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Banks policies with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by Bank
to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction.



(c) Bank will promptly notify Borrower of any event of which it has
knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section. A certificate of Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.



2.12. Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

Loan Documents, each Letter of Credit, the Bond Documents or any unrelated transaction;



(d) any statement, draft or other document presented under each Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect whatsoever, provided the Company shall be under no obligation to make any payment hereunder resulting from Banks gross negligence in accepting any such forged or fraudulent draft or document; or

observance of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents.
