(b) Interest Calculation.

 

(i) Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Lender’s prime rate (which shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366-day year), all interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, counting the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(ii) If Lender determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or that the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding the Loan, or that any applicable law or regulation or compliance therewith by the Lender prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the charging of interest based on the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate and the Lender so notifies Borrower, then until the Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility Note from the date the Lender so notifies Borrower until the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate of the Lender. Any such rate is a general reference rate of interest, may not be related to any other rate, and may not be the lowest or best rate actually charged by the Lender to any customer or a favored rate and may not correspond with future increases or decreases in interest rates charged by other lenders or market rates in general, and that the Lender may make various business or other loans at rates of interest having no relationship to such rate. Each time the Prime Rate changes, the per annum rate of interest shall change immediately and contemporaneously with such change in the Prime Rate. If the Lender (including any subsequent holder of the Revolving Credit Facility Note) ceases to exist or to establish or publish a prime rate from which the Prime

 

5


Rate is then determined, the applicable variable rate from which the Prime Rate is determined thereafter shall be instead the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal (or the average prime rate if a high and a low prime rate are therein reported), and the Prime Rate shall change without notice with each change in such prime rate as of the date such change is reported.

The financial covenants referenced in this Section 6.1 shall be calculated and tested on a quarterly basis as of the last day of each quarter for the four fiscal quarter period then ended. Unless otherwise defined, all financial terms used in this Section 6.1 shall have the meanings attributed to such terms in accordance with GAAP; provided however, that for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of how the Borrower’s Preferred Stock is characterized under GAAP, such Preferred Stock shall not constitute Indebtedness, as used in this Agreement.

 

(k) Section 6.5(e) (Loans, Advances and Investments) is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(n) Section 8.15(b) (Arbitration; Jury Trial Waiver) is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(b) Arbitration; Jury Trial Waiver.

 

(i) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (A) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (B) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement.

 

(ii) At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. The arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class action.

 

(iii) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (A) serve as the provider of arbitration or (B) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, any party to this agreement may substitute another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.

 

(iv) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the Commonwealth of Virginia. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for

 

8


arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered and enforced.

 

(v) The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

 

(vi) This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (A) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (B) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (C) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (D) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.

 

(vii) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.

 

(viii) By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this agreement.
