if such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized at 100% of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit, then the L/C Fee for such Letter of Credit shall be equal to 0.75% per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such

such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event of any of the Loan Parties); 
 (d) the execution and delivery of this

which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
