     “Applicable Margin” means the percentage added to the LIBOR Rate at which interest shall accrue on the Loan and, when the Base Rate applies to the Loan, the percentage added to the Base Rate, determined as follows:

If the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Advances at any time exceeds the Maximum Amount as otherwise determined by the Bank, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank an amount equal to such excess. Borrower shall not be entitled to borrow or reborrow under the Revolving Line of Credit Facility so long as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Advances exceeds the Maximum Amount nor if the result of any requested Advance would cause the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Advances to exceed the Maximum Amount.

     SECTION 2.04. Non Usury. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Note or of any instrument securing the Note or any other instrument executed in connection with the Loan evidenced thereby, it is expressly agreed that amounts payable under the Note or under the other aforesaid instruments for the payment of interest or any other payment in the nature of or which would be considered as interest or other charge for the use or loan of money shall not exceed the highest rate allowed by law, from time to time, and in the event the provisions of this Agreement, the Note or of such

other instruments referred to above in this paragraph with respect to the payment of interest or other charge for the use or loan of money shall result in payments of interest exceeding such limitation, then the excess over such limitation shall not be payable and the amount otherwise agreed to have been paid shall be reduced by the excess so that such limitation will not be exceeded, and if any payment actually made shall result in such limitation being exceeded, the amount of the excess shall constitute and be treated as a repayment of principal and shall operate to reduce such principal by the amount of such excess, or if any such payment is in excess of the principal indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded.

     SECTION 2.05. LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful. If as a result of a regulatory change the Bank shall reasonably determine that it is unlawful for the Bank to make, continue or maintain any Loan accruing interest at a LIBOR Rate, the obligation of the Bank to make, continue or maintain any such Loan at a LIBOR Rate shall, upon such determination (and telephonic notice thereof, to be subsequently confirmed in writing, to the Borrower which notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, create a rebuttable presumption as to the effect of such regulatory change as specified above), forthwith be suspended until the earliest date the Bank can determine and notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and the LIBOR Rate applicable to all Loans shall automatically convert to the Base Rate on the last day(s) of the then current respective Interest Period(s) with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such regulatory change, provided that the Bank shall take any reasonable actions available to it (including designation of its lending offices) consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions that will avoid the need for such suspension and will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Bank, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Bank.

     SECTION 2.06. Deposits Unavailable. If the Bank shall have reasonably determined that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Interbank Rate” are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Rate determinations as provided herein or that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any Loan to which such rate is the Applicable Rate, then, upon telephonic notice from the Bank to the Borrower to be subsequently confirmed in writing (such notice, in the absence of manifest error, to create a rebuttable presumption as to the effect specified above), the obligations of the Bank to make or continue any Loan at a LIBOR Rate shall forthwith be suspended until the earliest date that the Bank can reasonably determine and notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, provided that the Bank shall take any reasonable actions available to it to obtain the necessary quotations of interest rates in the London interbank eurodollar market (or another eurodollar market acceptable to the Bank and to the Borrower).

     SECTION 2.07. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of the Bank to make, continue or maintain any Loan at a LIBOR Rate shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.06 above, the Applicable Rate shall be automatically converted to the Base Rate on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Loan (or, in the case of a suspension pursuant to Section 2.05, sooner, if required by the regulatory change that gave rise to such suspension) and, unless and until the Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.05 or 2.06 (as the case may be) that gave rise to such suspension no longer exist all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued at a

LIBOR Rate by the Bank shall be made or continued instead at the Base Rate.

     If the Bank gives notice to the Borrower that the circumstances specified in Section 2.05 or 2.06 that gave rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) Advances converted to accrue interest at the Base Rate shall be re-converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Advances, to the LIBOR Rate based upon an Interest Period elected by the Borrower pursuant to written notice received by the Bank at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of the current Interest Period and, if none is so elected by Borrower, for an Interest Period of thirty (30) days.

     SECTION 2.08. LIBOR Related Losses and Expenses. In the event that the Bank shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Bank to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan at a LIBOR Rate) as a result of any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto then, upon written notice from the Bank to the Borrower the Borrower shall, within five days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to the Bank such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of the Bank) reimburse the Bank for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, create a rebuttable presumption of the amount of such losses or expenses.

     SECTION 2.09. Payments and Computations. All payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be made in lawful money no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date due in immediately available United States funds. All payments shall be first applied to payment of costs and expenses to which the Bank may be entitled under the Loan Documents, then to accrued interest and the remainder to principal. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days charged for the actual number of days elapsed. Payments are to be made to the Bank in Tampa, Florida, or at any one other place in the continental United States as the Bank may, from time to time, in writing designate. Any payment made after 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day and must include interest up to but not including such next Business Day. If any payment becomes due on a Saturday, Sunday, or any day on which banks in Tampa, Florida are legally closed to business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of a principal payment, interest on such principal payment shall be payable for such extension of time and shall be included with such payment.

     SECTION 2.10. Default Rate. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, all principal amounts due under the Note shall bear interest, payable on demand, at the Default Rate.

     SECTION 2.11. Costs. If any miscellaneous items of cost or expense, or any other expenditures are incurred by Bank in connection with the Revolving Line of Credit Facility, or in order to protect, preserve or further secure the Bank’s interests with respect thereto, or, if any action or proceedings shall be commenced by any person other than the Bank to which action or proceedings the Bank is made a party or in which it shall become necessary to defend the interests of the Bank or the provisions of this Agreement, all sums paid or incurred by the Bank for such expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees,

shall be paid by the Borrower, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of demand by the Bank for payment. The sums paid or incurred by the Bank in accordance with the terms of this paragraph shall be paid by the Borrower to the Bank within ten (10) days of demand and the failure or omission of the Borrower to do so shall entitle the Bank to add such sums to the principal indebtedness of the Note, or, at its option, to declare the Note to be in default, thereupon maturing all of the unpaid indebtedness including the sums advanced hereunder.

     SECTION 2.12. Creditors’ Inquiries. Borrower hereby grants to the proper officials of Bank the right to make response to any inquiries of creditors and/or suppliers of the Borrower concerning the status of the Loan. Bank agrees to furnish such information from time to time to the best of its knowledge, provided, however, that the only duty of Bank in the furnishing of such information shall be not to affirmatively deceive, as construed by decisions of the courts of the State of Florida, which is equivalent to fraud and willful misrepresentation.

     SECTION 2.13. Additional Remedies of Bank. In addition to other remedies available to the Bank in an Event of Default under this Agreement, should Borrower default, violate, breach or fail to comply with and perform in any material respect any one or more of the express covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Agreement, which default, violation, breach or failure remains uncured ten (10) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower, or default under the Note then the Bank shall have the absolute right, at its option and election, to (1) cancel this Agreement by written notice to the Borrower; (2) institute appropriate proceedings to specifically enforce performance hereof; (3) withhold further Advances hereunder; (4) take immediate possession of the Collateral; (5) appoint a receiver, as a matter of strict right without regard to the solvency of Borrower, for the purpose of preserving the Collateral, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to Bank by virtue of this Agreement. All expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of said receiver, or in protecting or preserving the Collateral shall be chargeable against the Borrower and shall be enforced as a lien against the Collateral. Nothing herein shall be construed to require notice or opportunity to cure in the event that Borrower defaults in any obligation to pay money under the Note. The said remedies and rights of Bank shall be cumulative and not exclusive, the Bank to be privileged and have the absolute right to resort to any one or more, or all of the said remedies, neither to the limited exclusion of the other, or any other remedy available to the Bank at law or equity, in the event of any such default or breach of said agreement or provisions by the Borrower. The Bank shall have the absolute right to apply any balance of the Loan funds as a payment toward the Note, and no other party shall have any interest in any Loan funds so applied and shall not have any right to garnish, require or compel payment thereof toward discharge or satisfaction of any claim or lien which they or any of them have or may have.

     SECTION 2.14. Further Assurances. Borrower agrees upon demand to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, without limitation, security agreements and/or financing statements on any personalty included or to be included as Collateral) as may be required by Bank to secure the Note.

     SECTION 2.15. Time is of the Essence. It is specifically agreed that time is of the essence of this Agreement, and that no waiver of any obligation or requirement hereunder shall at any time thereafter be held to be a waiver of the terms hereunder.

     SECTION 2.16. Taxes. All payments of the principal of and interest on the Note shall be made without deduction for any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings (other than any of the foregoing levied on or measured by the net income of the Bank pursuant to the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it is incorporated or where such Bank’s lending installations are located or managed and controlled) which amount shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower will pay the amounts necessary so that the gross amount of the principal and interest paid is not less than that which would have been required by the Note if such taxes and other items were not payable. All stamp and documentary taxes shall be paid by Borrower. If, notwithstanding the previous three sentences, the Bank pays any such taxes, Borrower will reimburse the Bank for the amount paid, including interest and penalties for late payment, if any.
