For purposes of this definition, (a) "Reserve Percentage" shall mean with respect to any Interest Period, the percentage which is in effect on the first day of such Interest Period under Regulation 0 as the maximum reserve requirement for member banks of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits comparable in amount to those of JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or any successor, the "Bank") against Euro currency Liabilities. The Quoted Rate for the applicable period shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective dale of any change in the applicable Reserve Percentage; (b) "Regulation D" shall mean Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as it may be amended from time to time; and (c) "Euro currency Liabilities" has the meaning assigned to that term in Regulation D, as in effect from time to time.

If any change in any present or future law or regulation, or in the interpretation or administration thereof, subjects RBUS to any tax, imposes or modifies any reserve requirement against the assets of, liabilities of or loans by RBUS or imposes on RBUS any other conditions, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to RBUS of maintaining or funding the principal amount of any Loan evidenced hereby or to reduce any amount which would otherwise be received-by RBUS hereunder, the Borrower shall pay to RBUS, on demand, such additional amount as shall compensate RBUS for such increased cost or reduction in amount.

If the effect of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive of any governmental authority, is to make It unlawful or impracticable for RBUS to maintain or fund the principal amount of any Loan evidenced hereby, then the affected Loan shall, on receipt by the undersigned of notice from RBUS of such circumstances, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest determined by RBUS, such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error, to be the Margin plus its cost of funding the Loan using sources selected by it or, if RBUS so elects in its sole discretion, the Base Lending Rate plus %*.

No delay on the part of the holder hereof in exercising any of its optiOns,powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof. The options, powers and rights of the holder hereof specified herein are in addition to those otherwise created.

impositions.

No change, modification, termination, waiver or discharge, in whole or in part, of this Note shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such change, modification,termination, waiver or discharge is sought to be enforced.
