In order to participate in the Plan with respect to Director’s Fees for a particular Year, a Director must file a deferral election with the Secretary of the Company prior to January 1 of such Year; provided, however, that in the case of a newly elected or appointed Director an election to participate shall be effective for the Year in which the Director is first elected or appointed if it is filed no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the Director’s election or appointment to the Board. Any initial election filed by a newly elected or appointed Director shall apply only to Director’s Fees earned after the effective date of the election. A new Director who does not elect to make deferrals of Director’s Fees during the initial thirty (30)-day election period may not later elect to make deferrals of Director’s Fees for the calendar year of his or her initial eligibility. If a payment of Director’s Fees (such as annual retainer fees or fees for serving as Chairman of a Committee) are due for services performed over a period of time which includes the period both before and the period after the date of the election, the election will apply to an amount equal to the total amount of the Director’s Fee paid for such performance period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the election over the total number of days in the performance period.

L/C Participation Fees. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay # to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a fee (the "L/C Participation Fee") in Dollars in an amount equal to # the Applicable Margin, multiplied by # the daily average L/C Obligations, during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Obligations; and # to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee ("L/C Fronting Fee") at the time of the issuance of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall also, jointly and severally, pay to the L/C Issuer for the L/C Issuer's sole account the L/C Issuer's then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to letters of credit as the L/C Issuer may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, modification (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation and administration of the Letters of Credit. Accrued L/C Participation Fees shall be computed and payable in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and January of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Agreement Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten days after demand. All L/C Participation Fees and L/C Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and shall at the direction of the Required Lenders, calculate L/C Participation Fees and L/C Fronting Fees, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

“Director’s Fees” means the annual retainer fee and all meeting fees, committee fees and other Director’s fees earned by the Participant for his service on the Board.
