The following paragraph shall be inserted into the Agreement as if fully and originally set forth therein and shall replace in their entirety any previous provisions concerning the subject matter hereof: "Unused Line Fee. To the extent the unused amount of Dealer's facility under this Agreement exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the maximum facility available to Dealer hereunder, Dealer agrees to pay DFS an unused line fee of three-hundred twenty-five one thousandths of one percent (.325%) per annum on the daily average of the unused amount of the Dealer's facility under this Agreement. Said fee shall be determined monthly based upon an average of the status of the facility measured once per week in such month. The facility shall be considered utilized to the extent of advances actually made by DFS in respect of an invoice and open approvals, which are defined as amounts approved by DFS under this facility, but which, for any reason, remain unfunded by DFS for a period not to exceed 30 days from the date of such open approval. Such unused line fee shall be payable monthly in arrears and due pursuant to the applicable billing statement." 3.
