time to time up to and including December 1, 2008, not to
exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Twenty Five
Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (“Line of Credit”), the
proceeds of which shall be used to finance Borrower’s working
capital requirements. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances
under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note
dated as of December 29, 2006 (“Line of Credit
Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this
reference.
(b)
Letter of Credit Subfeature . As a subfeature under the Line
of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to

that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit shall not at any time exceed Fifteen Million Dollars
($15,000,000). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit

Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of
the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related
documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof.
Each drawing paid
under a Letter
of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and
shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided
however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not
available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then
Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn,
together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid
to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of
interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such
event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit
any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any
such drawing.
(c)
Borrowing and Repayment . Borrower may from time to time
during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly
repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of
the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the
Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding
borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed
the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth
above.
SECTION
1.2. INTEREST/FEES.
(a)
Interest . The outstanding principal balance of each credit
subject hereto shall bear interest, and the amount of each drawing
paid under the Standby Letter of Credit shall bear interest from

promissory note or other instrument or document executed in
connection therewith.
(b)

billing is sent by Bank.

basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount
thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of each
drawing under any Letter of Credit and fees upon the occurrence of
any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including
without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any
Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s
standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity. Fees
will be payable quarterly in arrears for each Letter of Credit
issued.
