FACILITY

conditions:
a. Revolving Line
of Credit. During the Line
of Credit Availability
Period and
so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing,
Bank will, on a revolving basis, make advances to
Borrower
("Line
of Credit"), which, except as set forth
below, may not at any
time
exceed
an aggregate amount outstanding equal
to the lesser of
Seventeen Million Dollars ($17,000,000.00) or
the Borrowing Base
(collectively the
"Line of Credit
Limit"). Borrower's obligation to
repay advances under the
Line of Credit shall
be evidenced by a
promissory note
in a form acceptable to
Bank (the "Line of Credit
Note"). During
the Line of Credit
Availability Period, Borrower may
repay principal amounts and reborrow them. Borrower agrees
that
Borrower will
not permit
the outstanding balance under the
Line of
Credit
to exceed the Line of Credit Limit
unless Borrower increases
the Restricted Cash
Deposit by an amount equal to the sum that would
otherwise
be overadvanced, in which case Borrower shall have the
right
to
borrow an amount in excess of the Borrowing Base but not
more than
$17,000,000.00. Provided no
Event
of Default has occurred and
is
continuing
at such time, Borrower may request (i) a one year
extension
of
the Line of
Credit Availability Period within sixty
days of the
Line
of Credit Expiration Date, but
Bank has no obligation to grant
the extension and/or
(ii) the addition to Borrower of
an additional
fund
or funds managed by Manager or an Affiliate of Manager
acceptable
to
Bank, but Bank has no obligation to grant the addition.
3. TERMS
3.1 Availability
Period.
a. Availability Period
Line of Credit. Borrower may draw on the Line
of
Credit during
the Line of
Credit Availability Period, unless
(i) a
Default
or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
(ii)
Borrower has failed to satisfy any condition hereunder to
such
borrowing
and Bank has refused to waive such condition.
3.2 Interest
Rate.
a. Line
of
Credit Interest Rate. Interest on advances
on the Line of
Credit shall accrue at
the Prime Rate plus
one quarter percent
(P+0.25%) per
annum in effect from time to time (the "Regular Line of
Credit Interest Rate"). Any
changes in the Regular Line of
Credit
Interest Rate resulting from
a change in the Prime Rate shall take
effect
without notice at the time the Prime Rate is set.
b. Line
of
Credit Optional Interest. Instead of
the Regular Line of
Credit Interest Rate, Borrower may elect to
have up to five (5)
advances
on
the outstanding principal balance
of the Line of Credit
(each
a "Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion") during the Line of
Credit
Availability Period
bear interest at the LIBO Rate, as defined below,
plus
two and three-quarters percent (L+2.75%) (the
"Optional Line of
Credit Interest Rate")
during an interest rate period designated by
Borrower
(the "Line of Credit Applicable Interest
Period"). Borrower
shall
not select a Line of
Credit Applicable Interest Period that
would
extend beyond the Line of Credit Expiration Date. Each
interest
rate
is a rate per annum. At the end of any Line of
Credit Applicable
Interest
Period, the interest rate will revert to the Regular
Line of
Credit
Interest Rate, unless Borrower has designated another
Optional
Line
of Credit Interest Rate for
that Line
of Credit LIBO Rate
Portion.
Designation of
a Line of Credit LIBO
Rate Portion shall be made by
delivery
or telephone facsimile transmission to Bank of written
notice
signed by an Authorized Officer of such election, including
designation of
the amount of the proposed Line of
Credit LIBO Rate
Portion, the
proposed Line of Credit Applicable Interest
Period and
the
proposed effective date of the election. The notice shall be
given
at
least three (3) Banking Days in advance of
the effective date of
the election. The election shall
also be subject to the following
requirements:
i. The
Line of
Credit Applicable Interest Period
during which the LIBO
Rate
will be in effect will be three
(3) months, so long as no Event
of
Default has occurred and
is continuing. In determining a
Line of
Credit
Applicable Interest Period, a month means a period that
starts
on
one Banking Day in
a month and ends on
and includes the day
preceding
the numerically corresponding day in the next month. For
any
month
in which there is no such numerically corresponding day, then
as
to
that month, such day shall be deemed to be the last calendar day
of
such
month. Any Line of Credit Applicable Interest Period
which would
otherwise end
on a non-Banking Day shall end on the
next succeeding
Banking Day
unless that is the first day of a month, in
which event
such
Line of Credit Applicable Interest Period
shall end on the next
preceding
Banking Day.
ii. Each
Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion shall be for an amount
not less
than
Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).
iii.
The "LIBO Rate" shall mean, for
each Line
of Credit Applicable
Interest Period
with respect to a Line of Credit LIBO
Rate Portion,
the
per annum rate determined by the Bank as of
the first day of the
Line
of Credit Applicable Interest Period to be
equal to the rate at
which U.S. dollar deposits can
be acquired by Bank in the London
Interbank Eurocurrency Market two (2) Banking Days before the
commencement
of such Line of Credit Applicable Interest
Period in an
amount
comparable to such Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion.
iv. No
Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion bearing interest at the
LIBO Rate
may
be converted to
a different rate during the Line
of Credit
Applicable
Interest Period.
v. Each prepayment of
a
Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion, whether
voluntary,
by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be
accompanied
by
the amount of accrued interest on
the amount prepaid, and
a
prepayment fee
equal to the amount (if any) by which
the additional
interest which
would have been payable on the amount prepaid
had it
not
been paid until the last day of
the Line of Credit Applicable
Interest
Period exceeds the interest which would have been
recoverable
by
Bank
by placing the amount prepaid on
deposit in the LIBO Rate
Market
for a period starting on the date on which it
was prepaid and
ending
on the last day of the interest period for such Line of
Credit
LIBO
Rate Portion. Any such calculation shall be
made by Bank in the
same
