5. Repayment of the Term Revolving Loan. The Borrower will pay interest on the Term Revolving Loan on the first (1st) day of each month, commencing on the first (1st) Monthly Payment Date following the date on which the first Advance is made on the Term Revolving Loan, and continuing on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter until the Maturity Date.

(b) Requests for Advances Irrevocable. Each Request for Advance shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any loss or expense it may incur as a result of any failure to borrow any Advance after a Request for Advance (including any failure resulting from the failure to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Advance the applicable conditions set forth in this Section 7), including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund such Advance when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(c) Minimum Amounts. Each Revolving Advance shall be in a minimum amount equal to $50,000.00.
(d) Conditions Precedent to All Advances. Lender’s obligation to make each Advance under the Term Revolving Note shall be subject to the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in the MLA and this Second Supplement, including, without limitation, the following further conditions precedent:
(i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in the MLA and this Second Supplement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the request for any Advance, except as disclosed in writing to Lender, to the same extent and with the same effect as if made at and as of the date thereof except to the extent that they relate solely to an earlier date;
(ii) No Defaults. The Borrower is not in default under the terms of the MLA, this Second Supplement, the Related Documents or any other Material Contracts to which Borrower is a party and which relates to the construction of the Project or the operation of Borrower’s business; and
(iii) Government Action. No license, permit, permission or authority necessary for the construction or operation of the Project has been revoked or challenged by or before any Governmental Authority.
(e) Unused Commitment Fee. In addition to all other amounts payable to Lender under the MLA, this Second Supplement and the Term Revolving Note, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Term Revolving Loan Commitment from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date at the rate of thirty (30) basis points on a per annum basis, payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date during the term of the Term Revolving Loan Commitment and on the Maturity Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the unused portion of the Term Revolving Loan Commitment for any measurement period shall be the positive difference, if any, of (a) the average daily amount of the Term Revolving Loan Commitment, minus (b) the average daily Outstanding Credit.
8. Interest Rate, Other Terms. The principal amount of each Term Revolving Loan advanced to the Borrower shall bear interest at the rates of interest provided for in accordance with the Term Revolving Note, and the computation of interest, amortization, maturity and other terms and conditions of the Term Revolving Loan shall be as provided in the Term Revolving Note, provided, however, in no event shall the applicable rate of interest on any Term Revolving Loan exceed the Maximum Rate.

10. Intentionally Omitted.
11. Intentionally Omitted.
12. Maximum Amount Limitation. Anything in the MLA, this Second Supplement, or the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall not be required to pay unearned interest on the Term Revolving Note or any of the Loan Obligations, or ever be required to pay interest on the Term Revolving Note or any of the Loan Obligations at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, if any. If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under the MLA, this Second Supplement, the Term Revolving Note, or any of the other Loan Documents would exceed the Maximum Rate, if any, then the rate of interest which would otherwise be contracted for, charged, or received under the MLA, this Second Supplement, the Term Revolving Note, or any of the other Loan Documents shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate, if any. If any unearned interest or discount or property that is deemed to constitute interest (including, without limitation, to the extent that any of the fees payable by Borrower for the Loan Obligations to Lender under the MLA, this Second Supplement, the Term Revolving Note, or any of the other Loan Documents are deemed to constitute interest) is contracted for, charged, or received in excess of the Maximum Rate, if any, then such interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be deemed a mistake and canceled, shall not be collected or collectible, and if paid nonetheless, shall, at the option of the holder of the Term Revolving Note, be either refunded to Borrower, or credited on the principal of the Term Revolving Note. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable law, all calculations of the rate of interest or discount contracted for, charged or received by Lender under the Term Revolving Note, or under any of the Loan Documents, that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Maximum Rate applicable to Lender, if any, shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable laws (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading during the period of the full terms of the Advances evidenced by the Term Revolving Note, and any renewals thereof all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Lender in connection therewith.
13. Security. The Borrower’s obligations hereunder and, to the extent related thereto, the MLA, shall be secured as provided in the MLA and the other Loan Documents.
