Default Interest. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Bank exercised by delivering a written notice to Borrower, all principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest, fees and other amounts owing hereunder, shall bear interest, from the date of Borrower's receipt of such notice, until the date Bank, in writing, acknowledge that such Event of Default is waived or cured or all Obligations are paid in full, at the Default Rate. The term "Default Rate", as used herein, means the lesser of # the Maximum Rate, or # the rate per annum which shall from day-to-day be equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the sum of the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Margin. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand or, if not sooner demanded, on the last day of each calendar month.

Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”), unless Bank otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.
