2.13

Increased Costs.

The protection of this Section 2.13 shall be available to the Lenders regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition provided it applies to all borrowers on a non-discriminatory basis.

This provision shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement.

2.14

Subordination for Future Revolving Debt. The Lenders are prepared to authorize additional borrowing by the Borrower, of up to Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) under a revolving line of credit, secured by a lien on the Collateral, from a commercially acceptable lender (the “Permitted Revolving Lender”), on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Lenders (any such revolving line of credit, a “Permitted Revolving Facility”).  The Lenders are further prepared to subordinate their respective liens on the Collateral, to the lien held by the Permitted Revolving Lender, (i) up to Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), (ii) on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Lenders, including without limitation a reasonably acceptable Subordination Agreement, and (iii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Term Notes, this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
