Customer shall immediately notify Lender in writing of any governmental or regulatory action or third-party claim instituted or threatened in connection with any Hazardous Substance on, in, under or about the Property.

5. Fees. Customer agrees to pay the following nonrefundable fees as a condition of access to credit under this Agreement:

(a) Commitment fee in an amount equal to 1/16th% per year of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Limit from the date of this Agreement.

6. Interest. Customer agrees to pay interest to Lender on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time under this Agreement in accordance with any note evidencing a Loan.

The interest rate listed in any note evidencing a Revolving Loan may or may not be the lowest rate charged by Lender. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the interest rate listed in any note evidencing a Revolving Loan shall become effective without notice to Customer as of the day on which such change in the interest rate listed in any note evidencing a Revolving Loan is adopted by Lender. A change in the interest rate will apply both to the outstanding principal balance and to new Revolving Loans.

Unpaid principal and interest bear interest after maturity (whether by acceleration or lapse of time) until paid at the rate which would otherwise be applicable plus 3.00 percentage points. Interest is computed on the basis of the actual number of days the principal balance is unpaid based upon a year of 360 days.

7. Payment Schedule. Customer agrees to pay to Lender the unpaid principal balance and interest in accordance with any note evidencing a Loan.

In addition, Customer shall immediately pay any amount by which the Revolving Loans exceed the Revolving Credit Limit established under Section 1, and any prior unpaid payments. Lender is authorized to automatically charge payments due under this Agreement to any account of Customer with Lender. If payments are not automatically charged to Customer's account, payments must be made to the Lender at its address shown below and are not credited until received in Lender's office. Lender is authorized to make book entries evidencing Revolving Loans and payments under this Agreement and the aggregate unpaid amount of all Revolving Loans as evidenced by those entries is presumptive evidence that those amounts are outstanding and unpaid to Lender.
