(iii)           except as otherwise permitted by clause (ii)(d) above, the Lender shall have no obligation to issue a letter of credit hereunder if as a result thereof, there would be outstanding more than five standby Letters of Credit under clause (i) above.

2.1.9           The Lender will record on its books the Term Loan and the particulars thereof (e.g., date and amount) and each payment of principal or interest made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if the Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of the Term thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to the Term Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Term Loan Note.  The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse the Term Loan Note and to attach to and make a part of the Term Loan Note a continuation of any such schedule (modified as such Lender shall deem advisable) as and when required.







2.1.10           Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the principal of the Term Loan shall be due and payable in 18 consecutive monthly installments, with the first such monthly installment being due and payable on October 1, 2014, with subsequent installments of principal being due and payable on the first day of each month thereafter until fully paid.  The first 17 such monthly installments of principal shall be an amount equal to one-eighteenth (1/18th) of the principal amount of the Term Loan Note outstanding on October 1, 2014, and an 18th and final installment of principal shall be in the amount of the remaining Term Loan.

2.1.14           Each determination hereunder of interest and calculation of fees shall, unless specifically provided otherwise herein, be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  All interest rates applicable hereunder shall be determined by the Lender, and such determinations shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.







2.1.15           Each change in the rate of interest charged under the Term Loan Note shall become effective automatically and without notice to the Borrower upon the effective date of each change in the Floating Rate or the Highest Lawful Rate, as the case may be.







2.1.16           Calculations of interest include the date the Term Loan is made but exclude the date of repayment.







2.1.17           The Term Loan Note shall finally mature no later than the Final Maturity Date, and any unpaid principal of the Term Loan Note and accrued, unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on such date.”
