(iii)
one percent (1%) of the amount to be prepaid if prepaid during the third twelve (12) month period after the date of this Note; and
(iv)
no Prepayment Fee if prepaid after the third twelve month period after the date of this Note.

(b)Any partial prepayment shall first be applied to accrued interest then due and then to the unpaid principal in reverse order of maturity.
Notwithstanding the forgoing and in the absence of an Event of Default, there shall be no prepayment penalty associated with the application by the Bank of any casualty or condemnation proceeds to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
6.    Financial Reports. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Bank the financial reporting required pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), including without limitation:

(b)as soon as available, but in any event not later than 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year of Kadant, on EDGAR the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Kadant and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for such quarter and the portion of the fiscal year through the end of such quarter, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year, certified by a Responsible Officer as being fairly stated in all material respects (subject to normal year end audit adjustments); and

All such financial statements shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States as in effect from time to time applied (except as approved by such accountants or officer, as the case may be, and disclosed in reasonable detail therein and subject to the absence of footnotes with respect to quarterly statements) consistently throughout the periods reflected therein and with prior periods. If the financial reporting requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement are amended after the date hereof, the reporting requirements hereunder shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Borrowers comply with such amended reporting requirements in the Credit Agreement.

7.Financial Covenants.

Any other references to the Credit Agreement in this Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the most recent version of the Credit Agreement to which the Lender is a party.

Without intending to limit any of the other rights and remedies of the Bank, any payment of principal hereunder due at the Maturity Date or upon any acceleration of the Maturity Date which is not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

9.Abatement of Interest.

10.Acceleration. At the option of the Bank, all amounts payable under this Note shall become immediately due and payable without any further demand or notice of any kind upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, as defined in the Mortgages (as defined in Section 19 below).

No delay or omission by the Bank or other holder hereof in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or power, and a waiver on one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver or a bar to the exercise of a right on any other occasion. Any provision of this Note which is prohibited by law shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition without invalidating any other provision hereof. The rights and remedies of the Bank as provided in this Note shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singly, successively, or together against the Borrowers and any guarantor hereof, at the sole discretion of the Bank. The Bank’s failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release of such right or remedy or of the right to exercise any such right or remedy at any later time.
