The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan outstanding from time to time exceeds the face amount of the Revolving Credit Note, the excess shall bear interest rates provided from time to time for advances under the Revolving Loan evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND. The Revolving Credit Note shall not operate as a novation of any of the Obligations or nullify, discharge, or release any such Obligations or the continuing contractual relationship of the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.1.5 Revolving Loan Account.

The Lender will establish and maintain a loan account on its books (the “Revolving Loan Account”) to which the Lender will (a) debit (i) the principal amount of each advance of the Revolving Loan made by the Lender hereunder as of the date made, (ii) the amount of any interest accrued on the Revolving Loan as and when due, and (iii) any other amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender from time to time under the provisions of this Agreement in connection with the Revolving Loan, including, without limitation, Enforcement Costs, Fees, late charges, and service, collection and audit fees, as and when due and payable, and (b) credit all payments made by the Borrower to the Lender on account of the

Revolving Loan as of the date made. The Lender may debit the Revolving Loan Account for the amount of any Item of Payment that is returned to the Lender unpaid. All credit entries to the Revolving Loan Account are conditional and shall be readjusted as of the date made if final and indefeasible payment is not received by the Lender in cash or solvent credits. Any and all periodic or other statements or reconciliations, and the information contained in those statements or reconciliations, of the Revolving Loan Account shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower in all respects, absent manifest error, unless the Lender receives specific written objection thereto from the Borrower within thirty (30) Business Days after such statement or reconciliation shall have been sent by the Lender.

The Borrower will not be entitled to obtain a Letter of Credit hereunder unless after giving effect to the request, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan and of the Letter of Credit Obligations would not exceed the Revolving Credit Committed Amount.

2.2.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, a letter of credit fee (each a “Letter of Credit Fee” and collectively the “Letter of Credit Fees”) in an amount equal to the greater of (a) one and one half of one percent (1-1/2%) per annum of the amount of the Letter of Credit or (b) $300. Prior to or simultaneously with the renewal of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, a fee equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) per annum of the amount of the Letter of Credit or (b) $300.

2.2.3 Terms of Letters of Credit.

Each Letter of Credit shall be opened pursuant to a Letter of Credit Agreement. If any Letter of Credit has an expiration date later than the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date, as of the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date an advance of the Letter of Credit Facility shall be made by the Lender in the face amount of such Letter of Credit (or Letters of Credit) and the Proceeds thereof shall be deposited in an account titled in the name of the Lender as trustee for the Borrower. The proceeds of the trustee account referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be held as collateral for the Letter of Credit (or Letters of Credit) and in the event of a draw under the Letter of Credit (or Letters of Credit), used to pay any such draw. The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit at any one time outstanding and issued by the Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, plus the amount of any unpaid Letter of Credit Fees accrued or scheduled to accrue thereon, and less the aggregate amount of all drafts issued under or purporting to have been issued under such Letters of Credit that have been paid by the Lender, is herein called the “Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations”.

2.2.4 Procedure for Letters of Credit.

The obligation of the Borrower to pay the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Lender or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of such obligation or against any Collateral, security or guarantee therefore or right of offset with respect thereto.

The obligation of the Borrower to pay Current Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Letter of Credit Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower or any other account party may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, the Lender, or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on the failure of any draft or draw to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid, or the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other documents presented with any draft, any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement, or any of the other Financing Documents, all whether or not the Lender had actual or constructive knowledge of the same, and irrespective of any Collateral, security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto and irrespective of any other circumstances whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for any Letter of Credit Obligations, in bankruptcy or otherwise; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Lender for any wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of the Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

The Letter of Credit Obligations shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Person, or any substantial part of such Person’s property, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.2.6 Change in Law; Increased Cost.

If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by the Lender, or (b) impose on the Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (a) or (b) above shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing, maintaining or extending the Letter of Credit or the cost to the Lender of funding any obligation under or in connection with the Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lender from time to time as specified by the Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest stated in the Note. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred by the Lender, submitted by the Lender to the Borrower, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.2.7 General Letter of Credit Provisions.

The Borrower hereby instructs the Lender to pay any draft complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit irrespective of any instructions of the Borrower to the contrary. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of the beneficiary and other users of any Letter of Credit. The Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents shall not be responsible for and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents harmless from and against all liability, loss and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by the Lender and/or their respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents relative to and/or as a consequence of (a) any failure by the Borrower to perform the agreements hereunder and under any Letter of Credit Agreement, (b) any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit and any draft, draw and/or acceptance under or purported to be under any Letter of Credit, (c) any action taken or omitted by the Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents at the request of the Borrower, (d) any failure or inability to perform in accordance with the terms of any Letter of Credit by reason of any control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised by any de facto or de jure Governmental Authority, group or individual asserting or exercising governmental or paramount powers, and/or (e) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents.

Except for willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents, shall not be liable or responsible in any respect for any (a) error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any one or more messages or advices in connection with any Letter of Credit, whether transmitted by cable, telegraph, mail or otherwise and despite any cipher or code which may be employed, and/or (b) action, inaction or omission which may be taken or suffered by it or them in good faith or through inadvertence in identifying or failing to identify any beneficiary or otherwise in connection with any Letter of Credit.

Any Letter of Credit may be amended, modified or revoked only upon the receipt by the Lender from the Borrower and the beneficiary (including any transferee and/or assignee of the original beneficiary), of a written consent and request therefor.

If any Laws, order of court and/or ruling or regulation of any Governmental Authority of the United States (or any state thereof) and/or any country other than the United States permits a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit to require the Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents to pay drafts under or purporting to be under a Letter of Credit after the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender, as appropriate, for any such payment pursuant to provisions of Section 2.2.5 (Change in Law; Increased Cost).

Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreement, the laws of the State and the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 1993 Revision, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 shall govern the Letters of Credit. The Laws, rules, provisions and regulations of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event of a conflict between the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits and the laws of the State, the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits shall prevail.

Section 2.3 General Financing Provisions.

2.3.1 Borrower’s Representatives.

The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower to make advances under the Loan to the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of the Borrower under the provisions of the most recent “Certificate” of corporate resolutions of the Borrower on file with the Lender or who is an officer or employee of the Borrower whom a Responsible Officer from time to time authorizes in writing to do so. The Lender does not and shall not assume any responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests and confirmations between the Lender and the Borrower in connection with the Credit Facilities, any Loan or any other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.3.2 Use of Proceeds of the Loan.

The proceeds of each advance under the Loan shall be used by the Borrower for Permitted Uses, and for no other purposes except as may otherwise be agreed by the Lender in writing. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan promptly.

2.3.3 Computation of Interest and Fees.

All applicable Fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on any of the Obligations resulting from a change in the Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Prime Rate is announced.

2.3.4 Maximum Interest Rate.

In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under applicable law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court determines that the Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.

2.3.5 Payments.

All payments of the Obligations, including, without limitation, principal, interest, Prepayments, and Fees, shall be paid by the Borrower without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim to the Lender in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on the due date of such payment. All such payments shall be made to the Lender’s principal office in McLean, Virginia or at such other location as the Lender may at any time and from time to time notify the Borrower. Alternatively, at its sole discretion, the Lender may charge any deposit account of the Borrower at the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender with all or any part of any amount due to the Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Financing

Documents to the extent that the Borrower shall have not otherwise tendered payment to the Lender. All payments shall be applied first to any unpaid Fees, second to any and all accrued and unpaid late charges and Enforcement Costs, third to any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations, and then to the then unpaid principal balance of the Obligations, all in such order and manner as shall be determined by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. The Lender is authorized to deduct any payment due hereunder from the Borrower’s account #00000000079225641 issued by the Lender, on or after the date the payment is due.

2.3.6 Liens; Setoff.

The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender as additional collateral and security for all of the Obligations, a continuing Lien on any and all monies, Securities, and other personal property of the Borrower and any and all proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or received by, or in transit to, the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender from, or for the account of, the Borrower, and also upon any and all depository accounts (whether general or special) and credits of the Borrower, if any, with the Lender or any Affiliate of the Lender, at any time existing, excluding any depository accounts held by the Borrower in its capacity as trustee for Persons who are not Affiliates of the Borrower. Without implying any limitation on any other rights the Lender may have under the Financing Documents or applicable Laws, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time and from time to time at the Lender’s option, without notice to, or consent of, the Borrower, to set off, appropriate, seize, freeze and apply any or all items hereinabove referred to against all Obligations then outstanding (whether or not then due), all in such order and manner as shall be determined by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. The Lender shall provide the Borrower written notice of any action taken pursuant to this paragraph as soon as reasonably practicable after the making of the advance.

2.3.7 Requirements of Law.

In the event that the Lender shall have determined in good faith that (a) the adoption of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, or (b) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof or (c) compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority or central bank, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Lender or such controlling corporation as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of the Lender and its controlling corporation with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender, in its discretion, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by the Lender to the Borrower of a written request therefor and a statement of the basis for the Lender’s determination, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender ON DEMAND such additional amount or amounts in order to compensate the Lender or its controlling corporation for any such reduction.

2.3.8 Swap Contracts.

The Borrower may request and the Lender or its affiliates may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide Swap Contracts although the Borrower is not required to do so. In the event the Borrower requests Lender or its affiliates to procure Swap Contracts, then the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender or its affiliates harmless from any and all obligations now or hereafter owing to the Lender or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees to pay the Lender or its affiliates all amounts owing to the Lender or its affiliates pursuant to Swap Contracts. In the event the Borrower shall not have paid to the Lender or its affiliates such amounts, the Lender may cover such amounts by an advance under the Revolving Loan, which advance shall be deemed to have been requested by the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Swap Contracts from the Lender or its affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender or its affiliates and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of the Lender or its affiliates.

Section 7.2 Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may at any time thereafter exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or remedies:

7.2.1 Acceleration.

The Lender may declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby waives.

7.2.2 Further Advances.

The Lender may from time to time without notice to the Borrower suspend, terminate or limit any further loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement and under any of the other Financing Documents. Further, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default specified in Sections 7.1.5 (Receiver; Bankruptcy) or 7.1.6 (Involuntary Bankruptcy, etc.), the Commitments and any agreement in any of the Financing Documents to provide additional credit shall immediately and automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of the Notes (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations then outstanding, shall immediately become due and payable without further action of any kind and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

7.2.3 Uniform Commercial Code.

The Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender, at a place designated by the Lender. The Lender or its agents may without notice from time to time enter upon the Borrower’s premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.

Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by the Lender with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at the address set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, or such other address of the Borrower which may from time to time be shown on the Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to the Borrower. The Lender may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Lender to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.

If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority or of any person, or any person, corporation, partnership or other entity having any interest therein, should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, the Borrower agrees to execute all such applications and

other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.

The Borrower recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable federal and state Laws. The Lender may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of the Lender that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. The Borrower covenants and agrees to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as the Lender may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale or disposition, the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.

7.2.4 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.

In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or in equity from time to time, the Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of the Lender or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Lender, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and without notice to the Borrower:

(b) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;

Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by the Lender to the payment of the Enforcement Costs, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied by the Lender to the payment of the balance of the Obligations in such order and manner of application as the Lender may from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations, the Borrower shall remain liable to the Lender for any deficiency.

7.2.6 Performance by Lender.

Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, the Lender without notice to or demand upon the Borrower and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of the

Borrower, and may enter upon the premises of the Borrower for that purpose and take all such action thereon as the Lender may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose and the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of the Lender or in the name of the Borrower or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Lender, but at the cost and expense of the Borrower and without notice to the Borrower. All sums so paid or advanced by the Lender together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lender on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations.

7.2.7 Other Remedies.

The Lender may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce its rights by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or applicable Laws. The Lender is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of the Borrower now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of, or on deposit with, the Lender.
