Schedule 3
(d)    The maintenance of the OPB at the Index Rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:
(i)    If Holder notifies Maker that (A) reasonable means do not exist for Holder to determine the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate as determined by Holder in its sole discretion or (B) there is a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the SOFR Administrator, the regulatory supervisor for the SOFR Administrator, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the SOFR Administrator or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the SOFR Administrator, announcing that (1) the SOFR Administrator has ceased to provide SOFR permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide SOFR or (2) SOFR is not representative (including pursuant to an earlier statement or announcement that SOFR will not be representative as of a specified future date), then the principal subject or to be subject to the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate shall immediately accrue or shall continue to accrue interest at the Prime-Based Rate and Maker will be deemed to have converted any election for a requested borrowing into an election to borrow funds at the Prime-Based Rate.
(ii)    Holder shall have the right to make technical, administrative or operational changes to this Revolver Note from time to time (collectively, “Conforming Changes”) that Holder decides may be appropriate to reflect the use and administration of Daily Simple SOFR and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Related Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Maker or any other party to any Related Document.  Holder will promptly notify Maker of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes.
(iii)    If any treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall prohibit or restrict the making or maintenance of a loan based on the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate, or the determination or charging of interest rates based upon the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate, then, on and as of the date the prohibition or restriction becomes effective, the principal subject to that prohibition or restriction shall immediately accrue or shall continue to accrue interest at the Prime-Based Rate. 
(iv)    All payments of principal and interest shall be made net of any taxes, costs, fees, losses and expenses incurred or charged by Holder resulting from having principal outstanding hereunder at the Index Rate, including:
            (A)    Taxes (or the withholding of amounts for taxes) of any nature whatsoever including income, excise, and interest equalization taxes (other than income taxes imposed by the United States or any State thereof on the income of Holder), as well as all levies, imposts, duties, or fees whether now in existence or resulting from a change in, or promulgation of, any treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise, by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or 

not having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or time of payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom;
            (B)    Any reserve or special deposit requirements against assets or liabilities of, or deposits with or for the account of, Holder with respect to principal outstanding at the Index Rate (including those imposed under Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board) or resulting from a change in, or the promulgation of, such requirements by treaty, statute, regulation, interpretation thereof, or any directive, guideline, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law); and
            (C)    Any other costs resulting from compliance with treaties, statutes, regulations, interpretations, or any directives or guidelines, or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law).
    If Holder incurs or charges any such taxes, costs, fees, losses and expenses, Maker, upon demand in writing specifying the amounts thereof, shall promptly pay them; save for manifest error Holder’s specification shall be presumptively deemed correct.  
(e)    Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days, including the date a loan is made and excluding the date a loan (or any portion thereof, if applicable) is paid or prepaid.  Calculating interest on the basis of a year other than a calendar year may result in a higher effective interest rate than any numeric rate stated in or determined pursuant to this Revolver Note.
(f)    Holder is hereby authorized by Maker at any time and from time to time at Holder’s sole option to attach a schedule (grid) to this Revolver Note and to endorse thereon notations with respect to each loan specifying the date and principal amount thereof, the applicable interest rates, the date and amount of each payment of principal and interest made by Maker with respect to each loan, and other relevant details.  Holder’s endorsements as well as its records relating to the loans shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal, interest and other relevant details, and, in the event of inconsistency, shall prevail over any records of Maker and any written confirmations of loans given by Maker.  
(g)    If any payment of principal or interest to be made pursuant to this Revolver Note, other than a prepayment or a payment due on the maturity date of this Revolver Note, shall fall due on a day that is not a Banking Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, except that, if such next succeeding Banking Day would fall in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Banking Day.  Any extension or contraction of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(h)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, if at any time(s) Maker and Holder enter into any Swap Contract with respect to any loan, such loan shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR-Based Rate and Holder, in its reasonable discretion, may adjust, to coordinate with its and/or industry practices pursuant to the Swap Contract, any or all of:  (A) the capitalized terms defined in this Revolver Note, and the determination and application thereof; and (B) interest payment dates.  In such circumstances the remainder of this Section and this Revolver Note shall continue to apply without change.  Maker confirms that its obligations under any Swap Contract are in addition to and not in contravention of its obligations under this Revolver Note.  Any full or partial repayment or prepayment of this Revolver Note shall not in and of itself relieve Maker from its obligations under any Swap Contract.Document
