(the “Bank”), a national banking association, with an office located at 0 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000.

The Company has applied to the Bank for a revolving credit facility in an amount not to exceed $50,000,000, the proceeds of which will be used by the Company for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

The Bank is willing to make the Revolving Credit Facility (as hereinafter defined) available to the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein.

Accordingly, the Company and the Bank agree as follows:

“Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDAR Ratio” means, with respect to the LL Holdings on a consolidated basis, the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDAR.

“Applicable Commitment Fee” shall be determined by reference to the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio specified on the following table:


Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio		Applicable Commitment Fee
Greater than 1.00 to 1.0		0.150%

Less than or equal to 1.00 to 1, but greater than 0.50 to 1.0		0.125%

Less than or equal to 0.50 to 1.0		0.100%

The Applicable Commitment Fee will be automatically adjusted as of the first day of the first month following receipt by the Bank of the Company’s financial statements pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b) demonstrating to the Bank’s reasonable satisfaction that there has been a change in the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio which would cause a change in the Applicable Commitment Fee in accordance with the preceding table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company delivers financial statements to the Bank five (5) or fewer days before the end of a month, the Applicable Commitment Fee will be automatically adjusted as of the first day of the

second month following receipt by the Bank of such financial statements. At all times after and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Company’s obligations under Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b) until the delivery of the applicable financial statements required pursuant thereto, the Applicable Commitment Fee shall be 0.150%.

Less than or equal to 1.00 to 1, but greater than 0.50 to 1.0		1.250%

Less than or equal to 0.50 to 1.0		1.125%

The Applicable Libor Margin will be automatically adjusted as of the first day of the first month following receipt by the Bank of the Company’s financial statements pursuant to Section 4.1(a) or Section 4.1(b) demonstrating to the Bank’s reasonable satisfaction that there has been a change in the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio which would cause a change in the Applicable Libor Margin in accordance with the preceding table. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company delivers financial statements to the Bank five (5) or fewer days before the end of a month, the Applicable Libor Margin will be automatically adjusted as of the first day of the second month following receipt by the Bank of such financial statements.

ARTICLE 1A

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

Section 1A.1 General Description. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the conditions contained in Article 2), the Bank agrees to make a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) available to the Company, and to make advances and re-advances under the Revolving Credit Facility to the Company from time to time, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) February 21, 2017, or (ii) the date on which the Bank’s obligation to make further advances under the Revolving Credit Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 6.2 (the “Revolving Credit Termination Date”); provided that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding advances under the Revolving Credit Facility plus the aggregate stated amount of any Letters of Credit issued by the Bank for the account of the Company shall not at any time

exceed the Revolving Credit Facility Cap. Within such limits, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Revolving Credit Facility on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 1A.2 Revolving Credit Note. The Company’s obligation to repay the advances made under the Revolving Credit Facility will be evidenced by a amended and restated revolving credit note in the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Cap, made by the Company and payable to the order of the Bank, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank (as the same may be extended, amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Note”), the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may endorse on the Revolving Credit Note (or any schedule attached thereto) or otherwise make in the Bank’s records an appropriate notation of the date and amount of each advance made under the Revolving Credit Facility and the date and amount of any payments or prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility. Such endorsements or other notations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility; provided, however, the Bank’s error in making or failure to make any such endorsement or notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Revolving Credit Note.

Section 1A.3 Purpose. The Company will use advances under the Revolving Credit Facility for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

Section 1A.4 Repayment Terms; Interest Rate.

(a) Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility as it exists from time to time will be due and payable on the last day of each month and on any date on which the Revolving Credit Facility is paid in full, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. On the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then owing thereunder, will be immediately due and payable in full.

(b) The outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility as it exists from time to time will bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the per annum interest rate equal to BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Libor Margin.

Section 1A.5 Manner of Borrowing. Unless the Company and the Bank agree to the contrary in writing, each advance made by the Bank under the Revolving Credit Facility will be made in U.S. Dollars at the office of the Bank set forth at the beginning of this Agreement by crediting the amount of such advance to the general deposit account of the Company maintained at the Bank. Without limiting the purposes for which advances may be made by the Bank under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company shall be entitled to use advances thereunder to pay accrued interest under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may make advances under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt of a written

or telephonic request therefor from any person the Bank reasonably believes to be an authorized representative of the Company.

Section 1A.6 Prepayments.

(a) The Company may, without premium or penalty (subject to any breakage fees or redeployment costs incurred by the Bank as the result of the Revolving Credit Facility bearing interest at a rate based on BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate), prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility in whole or in part in any amount at any time and from time to time.

(b) If, at any time, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility plus the aggregate stated amount of any Letters of Credit issued by the Bank for the account of the Company exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility Cap, the Company will immediately prepay the Revolving Credit Facility, without premium or penalty, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) Within fifteen (15) days after the sale of any “Collateral” (as defined in the Security Agreement), except for any Collateral sold in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company shall apply 100% of the net cash proceeds of such sale to prepay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Section 1A.7 Unused Commitment Fee. Commencing on April 1, 2012 (for the period from the date hereof until March 30, 2012), and continuing on the first day of each July, October, January and April thereafter and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Company shall pay to the Bank a per annum non-refundable unused commitment fee equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Commitment Fee, times (ii) the difference between the Revolving Credit Facility Cap and the average outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility during the preceding three (3) month period (or other applicable period), which fee shall be pro rated for the number of days in each such period.

Section 1A.8 Letters of Credit. The Company may from time to time apply to the Bank for one or more letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) pursuant to applications and such other documentation as the Bank shall require (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”); provided, however, that (i) the aggregate stated amount of all Letters of Credit issued by the Bank for the account of the Company shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (ii) the term of any Letter of Credit shall not ex-tend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Letter of Credit and any related Letter of Credit Documents shall constitute Loan Documents hereunder.

Section 1A.9 Reserved.

Section 1A.10 Payments and Computations. Each payment under this Agreement or under the Revolving Credit Note shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America or in Federal or other immediately available funds, by payment of such funds to the Bank at the office of the Bank set forth at the

beginning of this Agreement. Amounts received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made wider this Agreement or under the Revolving Credit Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest. Unless otherwise provided, all interest and fees payable in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All payments under the Revolving Credit Note shall be applied by the Bank first to any late charges and accrued interest thereunder and then to the reduction of principal due thereunder, or in such other order as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion.

Any and all payments by the Company to or on account of any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), provided that if the Company shall be required by any applicable law to deduct any taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions, the Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Company shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall indemnify the Bank for the full amount of any taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) paid by the Bank on or with respect to payments by the Company hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.

If, after the date of this Agreement a Change in Law occurs, and the Bank determines that such Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital (or on the capital of Bank of America Corporation) as a consequence of the Revolving Credit Facility to a level below that which the Bank (or Bank of America Corporation) could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Bank’s (and Bank of America Corporation’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank (or Bank of America Corporation) for any such reduction suffered.

If any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, the Bank, (ii) subject the Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank in respect thereof (except for Excluded Taxes), or (iii) impose on the Bank any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Facility, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining the Revolving Credit Facility (or of maintaining its obligation to make the Revolving Credit Facility), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Bank, the Company will pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Section 3.11 Taxes. It has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which are required to be filed by it pursuant to applicable law. It has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges which have or may have become due pursuant to those returns or otherwise, or pursuant to any assessment received by it, except such taxes, if any, that are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) have been provided, and no tax liens have been filed and, so far as its officers, members or managers, as applicable, know, no claims are being asserted against it with respect to any such taxes, fees or other charges.

Section 3.13 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility will be used, directly or indirectly, for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock”

within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (“Regulation U”) or for any other purpose which violates the provisions of any of the Regulations of such Board of Governors. If requested by the Bank, it will furnish to the Bank a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U.

Section 3.14 Accuracy of Information. No document or instrument executed or delivered by it or information (financial or otherwise) furnished by or on behalf of it in connection with this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading, and it has no knowledge of any fact that it has not disclosed to the Bank in writing that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations or its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

Section 3.15 Compliance with Laws.

Section 7.2 Autodebit. The Company hereby authorizes the Bank to automatically deduct from such account of the Company with the Bank as the Company shall designate in writing (or any account of the Company with the Bank if no particular account is so designated), the amount of each payment of principal (including without limitation the principal payment due on the final maturity date) and/or interest under the Revolving Credit Facility on the dates such payments become due. If the funds in the account are insufficient to cover any payment, the Bank shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment.

Section 7.3 Costs and Expenses. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the preparation of the Loan Documents and all related documents (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated shall be consummated), including but not limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Bank; and the Company hereby agrees to pay all expenses associated with recordation and filing fees, survey costs, title insurance fees, financing statement searches and other costs and expenses associated with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.5 ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(A) THIS SECTION CONCERNS THE RESOLUTION OF ANY CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR BY STATUTE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO: (I) THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY RENEWALS, EXTENSIONS OR MODIFICATIONS), OR (II) ANY DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT

(INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, A “CLAIM”). FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION 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 IN OR EVIDENCED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(B) 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.

(C) 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 SECTION. IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY, THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL. IF AAA IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO (I) SERVE AS THE PROVIDER OF ARBITRATION, OR (II) ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, THE BANK MAY DESIGNATE ANOTHER ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION WITH SIMILAR PROCEDURES TO SERVE AS THE PROVIDER OF ARBITRATION.

(D) THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY AAA AND CONDUCTED, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, IN THE STATE SPECIFIED IN THE GOVERNING LAW SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT. 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 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.

(E) 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 SECTION OR WHETHER A CLAIM IS ARBITRABLE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S), EXCEPT AS SET FORTH AT SUBPARAGRAPH (H) OF THIS SECTION. THE ARBITRATOR(S) SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD LEGAL FEES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(F) THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO: (I) EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES, SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SETOFF; (II) INITIATE JUDICIAL OR NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE AGAINST ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; (III) EXERCISE ANY JUDICIAL OR POWER OF SALE RIGHTS, OR (IV) 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.

(G) 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.

(H) ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT TRIAL (WHETHER BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY) OF ANY CLAIM WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PRECLUDES ANY PARTY FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR BEING REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION REGARDING A CLAIM. REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, THE VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER MAY BE DETERMINED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS MATERIAL AND ESSENTIAL TO THE ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND IS NONSEVERABLE FROM THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS. IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A CLASS ACTION BE ARBITRATED.

(I) 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 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT EVEN IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE

PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


$50,000,000.00		February 21, 0000
		Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LUMBER LIQUIDATORS, INC. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, promises to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (the “Bank”) at its office at 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of FIFTY MILLION AND No/100 DOLLARS ($50,000,000.00), or such lesser principal amount as may be advanced or readvanced hereunder by the Bank, payable on the terms and dates and in the amounts as hereinafter provided, and to pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note as it exists from time to time from the date hereof as provided herein.

This Note is the “Revolving Credit Note” and one of the “Loan Documents” described in, and (to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Note) is subject to the terms and conditions of, an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be extended, amended, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Bank. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

This Note extends, amends and restates the Revolving Credit Note dated August 10, 2007 made by the Company’s predecessor in interest, payable to the order of the Bank in the original principal amount of $25,000,000.00 (the “Prior Note”), and this Note is executed and delivered to the Bank as a replacement of and in substitution for the Prior Note. The execution and delivery of this Note shall not constitute a novation of the debt originally evidenced by the Prior Note.

The outstanding principal balance of this Note as it exists from time to time will bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the per annum interest rate equal to BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Libor Margin.

Accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note as it exists from time to time will be due and payable on the last day of each month and on any date on which this Note is paid in full, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. On the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then owing thereunder, will be immediately due and payable in full.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may endorse on this Note (or any schedule attached hereto) or otherwise make in the Bank’s records an appropriate notation of the date and amount of each advance made hereunder and the date and amount of any payments or prepayments hereof. Such endorsements or other notations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal balance of this Note; provided, however, the Bank’s error in making or failure to make any such endorsement or notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company under this Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Note to the contrary, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note will bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the per annum rate of interest (the “Default Rate”) equal to BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Libor Margin plus two percent (2.00%). The Default Rate will be effective on the first date as of which the applicable Event of Default occurs, notwithstanding the fact that such Event of Default may not be reported or otherwise discovered until a subsequent date, and such Default Rate will continue until such Event of Default is cured, at which time the outstanding balance of this Note shall cease bearing interest at the Default Rate and shall resume bearing interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at the per annum rate of interest equal to BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Libor Margin.

In the event that the Company fails to pay any installment of principal and/or interest on this Note within fifteen (15) days after its due date, the Company will pay to the Bank without demand a late charge equal to four percent (4.00%) of the amount of such installment; provided that no such late charge shall be due or payable with respect to the Company’s obligation to pay the unpaid principal balance hereof, whether such balance shall be due on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, by acceleration or otherwise.

The Company may, without premium or penalty (subject to any breakage fees or redeployment costs incurred by the Bank as the result of this Note bearing interest at a rate based on BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate), prepay amounts outstanding under this Note in whole or in part at any time and from time to time.

The Company agrees that all amounts owing under this Note, including principal, interest and fees, will be deducted automatically on the due date thereof as set forth in Section 7.2 of the Loan Agreement.

The occurrence of any Event of Default will constitute a default under this Note, and such Events of Default are incorporated herein by this reference. In the event of the occurrence of any or all of such Events of Default, the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note together with all accrued interest will become or may be declared immediately due and payable in the manner and with the effect as provided in the Loan Agreement, and the Bank will have all other rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or equity.

The Company agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Note and any agreement or instrument related to this Note. Such expenses include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s inhouse counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law. Furthermore, the Company will reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Note and any other documents executed in connection with this Note, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this Note. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Company under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case.

Presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by the Company and each endorser hereon or other guarantor or obligor hereof.

This Note will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

THIS PARAGRAPH, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING EIGHT SUBPARAGRAPHS, IS REFERRED TO AS THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION.” THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS NOTE, AND CONCERNS THE RESOLUTION OF ANY CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS NOTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR BY STATUTE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO: (I) THIS NOTE (INCLUDING ANY RENEWALS, EXTENSIONS OR MODIFICATIONS), OR (II) ANY DOCUMENT RELATED TO THIS NOTE (INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY, A “CLAIM”). FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION 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 IN OR EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE.

(A) AT THE REQUEST OF ANY PARTY TO THIS NOTE, ANY CLAIM SHALL BR 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 NOTE PROVIDES THAT IT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A SPECIFIED STATE.

(B) 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 SECTION. IN THE EVENT OF ANY INCONSISTENCY, THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL. IF AAA IS UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO (I) SERVE AS THE PROVIDER OF ARBITRATION, OR (II) ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS SECTION, THE BANK MAY DESIGNATE ANOTHER ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION WITH SIMILAR PROCEDURES TO SERVE AS THE PROVIDER OF ARBITRATION.

(C) THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY AAA AND CONDUCTED, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW, IN THE STATE SPECIFIED IN THE GOVERNING LAW SECTION OF THIS NOTE. 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 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.

(D) 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 SECTION OR WHETHER A CLAIM IS ARBITRABLE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR(S), EXCEPT AS SET FORTH AT SUBPARAGRAPH (G) OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION. THE ARBITRATOR(S) SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD LEGAL FEES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS NOTE.

(E) THIS PARAGRAPH DOES NOT LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO: (I) EXERCISE SELF-HELP REMEDIES, SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SETOFF; (II) INITIATE JUDICIAL OR NON-JUDICIAL FORECLOSURE AGAINST ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; (III) EXERCISE ANY JUDICIAL OR POWER OF SALE RIGHTS, OR (IV) 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.

(F) 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.

(G) ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT TRIAL (WHETHER BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY) OF ANY CLAIM WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (THE “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PRECLUDES ANY PARTY FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR BEING REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION REGARDING A CLAIM. REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, THE VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER MAY BE DETERMINED ONLY BY A COURT AND NOT BY AN ARBITRATOR. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS MATERIAL AND ESSENTIAL TO THE ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND IS NONSEVERABLE FROM THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS. IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A CLASS ACTION BE ARBITRATED.

(H) 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 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SHALL REMAIN IN EFFECT EVEN IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS NOTE. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
