The Borrower is not in default in any material respect under any
agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound and no

belief,

a whole), when

ARTICLE III
CREDIT TERMS
Section 3.01 Advances. CFC agrees to advance funds to the
Borrower
pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, provided, however,
that the
principal amount at any time outstanding
<PAGE>
under this Agreement shall not exceed the CFC Commitment. The
Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow funds at any time or from time up to,
but not
including, the Maturity Date, at which time all principal
amounts outstanding,
and accrued, but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and
payable in full.
Section 3.02 Payment and Interest Rate. The Line of Credit shall
be
payable and bear interest as follows:
A. Interest Rate and Payment. The Borrower unconditionally
promises and
agrees to pay, as and when due, interest on all amounts advanced
hereunder from
the date of each Advance and to repay all amounts advanced
hereunder with
interest on the Maturity Date, if not sooner paid. Interest
shall be due and
payable on each Payment Date. CFC shall send a payment notice to
the Borrower at
least five days prior to the due date of any interest payment,
provided,
however, that CFC's failure to send a payment notice shall not
constitute a
waiver by CFC or be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to make
payments as and when due as provided for herein. All amounts
shall be payable at
CFC's main office at 2201 Cooperative Way, Herndon, Virginia
20171-3025 or at
such other location as designated by CFC from time to time. The
interest rate on
all Advances will be equal to the CFC Line of Credit Rate in
effect from time to
time, which shall not exceed the Prevailing Bank Prime Rate (as
defined herein),
plus one percent per annum. Interest will be computed on the
basis of a 365 day
year for the actual number of days that any Advance is
outstanding. The
effective date of an interest rate adjustment will be determined
from time to
time by CFC, provided that no such adjustment may be effective
on a date other
than the first or sixteenth day of any month, and any such
adjustment shall
remain in effect until any subsequent change in the interest
rate occurs.
The "Prevailing Bank Prime Rate" is that bank prime rate
published in the "Money
Rates" column of the eastern edition of The Wall Street Journal
on the
publication day immediately preceding the day on which an
adjustment in the
interest rate hereof shall become effective. If The Wall Street
Journal shall
cease publishing the Prevailing Bank Prime Rate, the Prevailing
Bank Prime Rate
shall be determined by CFC by reference to another publication
reporting bank
prime rates in a similar manner.
B. Application of Payments. Each payment shall be applied to
the
Obligations, first to any fees, costs, expenses or charges other
than interest
or principal then due on the Borrower's indebtedness to CFC,
second to interest
accrued and the balance to principal.
Section 3.03 Paydown Requirement. For each 12-month period while
this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall, for a period of at least
five
consecutive business days, pay down the entire outstanding
principal balance on
this line of credit ("Paydown"). Borrower shall make the initial
Paydown within
360 days of the first Advance hereunder, and shall make each
subsequent Paydown
within 360 days of the date of the first Advance following each
Paydown.
Section 3.04 Limitation on Advances. While an Advance is
outstanding, CFC
reserves the right to limit further Advances if the sum of (a)
all Advances
outstanding, (b) the amount of any further Advance requested,
and (c) the total
amount of Borrower's other unsecured outstanding obligations to
repay borrowed
money (excluding trade payables), would exceed the CFC
Commitment. CFC may in
its sole discretion decline to make any Advance during any
period when the
Borrower is in default hereunder.
Section 3.05 Mandatory Prepayment. If there is a change in the
Borrower's
corporate structure (including without limitation by merger,
consolidation,
conversion or acquisition, except
<PAGE>
where the purchaser, successor or resulting entity meets the
conditions
described in paragraph 7(a) of Schedule 1 hereto), then upon the
effective date
of such change, (a) the Borrower shall no longer have the
ability to request,
and CFC shall have no obligation to make, Advances hereunder and
(b) the
Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of all
Obligations,
together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, any
unpaid costs or
expenses provided for herein, and upon repayment thereof, this
Agreement shall
automatically terminate without further action by either
Borrower or CFC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall retain the ability
to request, and
CFC shall retain the obligation to make, Advances hereunder and
no prepayment
shall be required under this Section 3.05 if, after giving
effect to such
change, Borrower, or its successor in interest, is engaged in
the furnishing of
electric utility services to its members and patrons for their
use as ultimate
consumers and is organized as a cooperative, nonprofit
corporation, public
utility district, municipality, or other public governmental
body.
Section 3.06 Termination and Cancellation of Existing Agreement.
Borrower
agrees that its existing line of credit No. AK008-R-5101 with
CFC and any
agreement(s) relating thereto shall be terminated and any
outstanding principal,
interest and other amounts outstanding thereunder shall be
transferred to the
line of credit established pursuant to this Agreement and deemed
an Advance
hereunder.
