2. THE FACILITIES.

2.1 Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Revolving Credit Facility Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Lender agrees (such agreement being herein called the Lender’s “Revolving Credit

Facility Commitment”) to make loans (the “Revolving Credit Facility Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof and to but not including the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, subject, however, to the conditions that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Facility Loans and all Letter of Credit Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Facility Committed Amount (such amount being referred to herein as the “Revolving Credit Facility Available Amount”).

(b) Nature of Credit. Within the limits of time and amount set forth in this Section 2.1, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Facility Loans hereunder.

(c) Revolving Credit Facility Note. The obligation of the Borrowers to repay the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility Loans made by the Lender and to pay interest thereon shall be evidenced in part by a promissory note of the Borrower dated the Closing Date (together with any extensions, renewals or amendments thereof, the “Revolving Credit Facility Note”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the blanks appropriately filled, payable to the order of the Lender in a face amount of up to Forty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00).

(d) Revolving Loan Account. The Lender will establish and maintain a revolving loan account on its books (the “Revolving Loan Account”) to which the Lender will (i) debit (A) the principal amount of each advance of the Revolving Credit Facility Loans made by the Lender hereunder as of the date made, (B) the amount of any interest accrued on the Revolving Credit Facility Loans as and when due, and (C) 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 Credit Facility Loans, including enforcement costs, fees, late charges, and service, collection and audit fees, as and when due and payable, and (ii) credit all payments made by the Borrower to the Lender on account of the Revolving Credit Facility Loans as of the date made, including funds credited to the Revolving Loan Account from the Collateral Account (as defined in the Security Agreement). 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 presumed conclusively to be correct, and shall constitute an account stated between the Lender and the Borrower 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.

(e) Maturity. To the extent not due and payable earlier, the Revolving Credit Facility Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date.

(f) Termination; Reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility Committed Amounts. The Borrower may terminate the Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Facility Loans; provided that the Borrower shall have provided written notice thereof to the Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the termination date. On the termination date, the principal amounts of all Revolving Credit Facility Loans, together with interest on each such

principal amount and any fees or expenses owed to the Lender to such date, shall be due and payable and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be satisfied.

Reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility Committed Amount shall be made by providing not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to such effect to the Lender.

2.3 Fees.

(a) Revolving Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender for each day during the period set forth below a commitment fee (the “Revolving Unused Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin, multiplied by the following amount: for each day from and including the date hereof to but not including the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, the amount (not less than zero) equal to (i) the Revolving Credit Facility Available Amount on such day, minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Facility Loans, plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations on such day. The Revolving Unused Fee shall be due and payable for the preceding period for which such fee has not been paid: (x) on the first Regular Interest Payment Date of each calendar quarter, and (y) on the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date.

2.4 Making of Loans.

(a) Loan Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that the Lender make Revolving Credit Facility Loans, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Lender setting forth the following information:

(i) The date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such proposed Loans are to be made; and

(ii) The aggregate principal amount of such proposed Loans, which shall be in integral multiples of $50,000.

Unless any applicable condition specified in Article 4 has not been satisfied, on the date specified in such notice the Lender shall make the proceeds of the Loan available to the Borrower requesting such Loan in funds immediately available.

(b) Automatic Loans. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower authorizes the Lender to make Revolving Credit Facility Loans, if all applicable conditions specified in Article 4 have been satisfied, in accordance with the terms of the Automatic Service Agreement between the Borrower and the Lender (the “Autoborrow Service Agreement”).

(c) Swap Contracts and ACH Transactions. If the Borrower fails to make a payment to the Lender under a Swap Contract or pursuant to an obligation arising from an ACH Transaction, the Lender may, but is not required to, advance such payment for the account of the Borrower and such advance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Credit Facility Loan. For purposes of this Section 2.4(c), “ACH Transactions” shall mean any transaction involving cash management or related services, including the transfer of funds through an automated clearinghouse by the Lender for the account of the Borrower.

2.5 Interest Rates.

(a) BBA Libor Rate. The unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest for each day until due at the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Interest Calculation.

(i) Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Lender’s prime rate (which shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366-day year), all interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, counting the actual number of days elapsed.

(ii) If Lender determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or that the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding the Loan, or that any applicable law or regulation or compliance therewith by the Lender prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the charging of interest based on the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate and the Lender so notifies Borrower, then until the Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, interest shall accrue and be payable on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility Note from the date the Lender so notifies Borrower until the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) at a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate of the Lender. Any such rate is a general reference rate of interest, may not be related to any other rate, and may not be the lowest or best rate actually charged by the Lender to any customer or a favored rate and may not correspond with future increases or decreases in interest rates charged by other lenders or market rates in general, and that the Lender may make various business or other loans at rates of interest having no relationship to such rate. Each time the Prime Rate changes, the per annum rate of interest shall change immediately and contemporaneously with such

change in the Prime Rate. If the Lender (including any subsequent holder of the Revolving Credit Facility Note) ceases to exist or to establish or publish a prime rate from which the Prime Rate is then determined, the applicable variable rate from which the Prime Rate is determined thereafter shall be instead the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal (or the average prime rate if a high and a low prime rate are therein reported), and the Prime Rate shall change without notice with each change in such prime rate as of the date such change is reported.

2.6 Optional Prepayments of Revolving Credit Facility Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Revolving Credit Facility Loans in whole or part at any time without premium or penalty.

2.7 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

2.8 Interest Payment Dates.

Interest on the Loans shall be due and payable on each Regular Interest Payment Date. After maturity of any part of the Loans (by acceleration or otherwise), interest on such part shall be due and payable on demand.

2.9 Payments Generally.

(a) Payments Generally. All payments and prepayments to be made by the Borrower in respect of principal, interest, fees, indemnity, expenses or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be payable in Dollars by 1:00 o’clock p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the day when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and, upon any failure to make any such payment when so due and expiration of any applicable cure period with respect to such payment, an action therefor shall immediately accrue, without setoff, counterclaim, withholding or other deduction of any kind or nature. Such payments shall be made to the Lender in Dollars in funds immediately available. Any payment or prepayment received by the Lender after 1:00 o’clock p.m., Charlotte, North Carolina time, on any day shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Interest on Overdue Amounts. To the extent permitted by law, after there shall have become due (by acceleration or otherwise) principal, interest, fees, indemnity, expenses or any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amounts shall bear interest for each day until paid (before and after judgment), payable on demand, at a rate per annum which for each day shall be equal to a rate per annum two percent (2%) above the rate otherwise applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts, then four percent (4.0%) greater than the Prime Rate).

To the extent permitted by law, interest accrued on any amount which has become due hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall compound on a day-by-day basis, and hence shall be added daily to the overdue amount to which such interest relates.

(c) Automatic Debit. The Borrower has elected to authorize the Lender to effect payment of sums due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by means of debiting the Borrower’s account number 4124657128. This authorization shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay such sums when due, without notice, if there are insufficient funds in such account to make such payment in full on the due date thereof, or if the Lender fails to debit the account. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower has authorized the Lender to effect payment of sums due under this Agreement in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility Loans in accordance with the Autoborrow Service Agreement.

2.10 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

(a) Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting From Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. If any Law or guideline or interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request or directive of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) now existing or hereafter adopted:

(i) subjects the Lender to any tax or changes the basis of taxation with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Commitments, the Loans, or payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Note (except for taxes payable by the Lender based on the overall net income or gross receipts of the Lender imposed by the jurisdictions foreign, federal, state and/or local),

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, assets (funded or contingent) of, deposits with or for the account of, other acquisitions of funds by, the Lender (other than requirements expressly included herein in the determination of the BBA LIBOR Daily Floating Rate hereunder),

(iii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any capital adequacy or similar requirement (A) against assets (funded or contingent) of, or credits or commitments to extend credit extended by, the Lender, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, or

(iv) imposes upon the Lender any other condition or expense with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Commitments or its making, maintenance or funding of any Loan, Letter of Credit, or any security for any thereof,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon the Lender, or, in the case of clause (iii), any Person controlling the Lender, with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the Commitments or the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan or Letter of Credit, (or, in the case of any capital adequacy or similar requirement, to have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or controlling Person’s capital, taking into consideration the Lender’s or

controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which the Lender deems to be material, the Lender may from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined (using any averaging and attribution methods) by the Lender (which determination shall be conclusive) to be necessary to compensate the Lender for such increase, reduction or imposition. In making any such determination the Lender may take into account any special, supplemental or other nonrecurring items, may apply any averaging or attribution methods, and may make such determination prospectively or retrospectively. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender five Business Days after such notice is given.

2.11 Taxes.

(a) Payments Net of Taxes.

(ii) income, gross receipts or franchise taxes imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Lender’s lending offices which make or book Loans are located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from any amounts payable to the Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall pay the relevant amount of such Taxes and the amounts so payable to the Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Whenever any Taxes are paid by the Borrower with respect to payments made in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.

(b) Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender for the full amount of all Taxes attributable to payments by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any Taxes paid by the Lender, any present or future claims, liabilities or losses, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any Taxes (including any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender

as a result of any failure to pay such Taxes), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be made within five (5) days from the date the Lender makes written demand therefor.

2.15 Letter of Credit Drawings and Reimbursements.

The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Lender, by making payment to the Lender in accordance with Section 2.9(a), on the date and in the amount of each payment made by the Lender under any Letter of Credit, upon notice (which may be by telephone) by the Lender to the Borrower of such payment, without further notice, protest or demand, all of which are hereby waived, and an action therefor shall thereupon immediately accrue.

8.7 Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

8.8 Prior Understandings.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein.

8.9 Duration; Survival.

All representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein or in any other Loan Document or made in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the making of, and

shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any investigation by or knowledge of the Lender, the making of any Loan, or any other event or condition whatever. All covenants and agreements of the Credit Parties contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrower may borrow hereunder and until payment in full of all Obligations. Without limitation, all obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document to make payments to or indemnify the Lender shall survive the payment in full of all other Obligations, termination of the Borrower’s right to borrow hereunder, the assignment by the Lender of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and all other events and conditions whatever.

8.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

8.11 Limitation on Payments.

The parties hereto intend to conform to all applicable Laws in effect from time to time limiting the maximum rate of interest that may be charged or collected. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, the Borrower shall not be required to make any payment to or for the account of the Lender, and the Lender shall refund any payment made by the Borrower, to the extent that such requirement or such failure to refund would violate or conflict with non-waivable provisions of applicable Laws limiting the maximum amount of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender.

8.12 Set-Off.

Each Credit Party hereby agrees that if any Obligation of such Credit Party shall be due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), and such Credit Party shall fail to pay the same beyond any cure period with respect thereto, the Lender shall have the right, without notice to such Credit Party, to set-off against and to appropriate and apply to such Obligation any indebtedness, liability or obligation of any nature owing to such Credit Party by the Lender, including all deposits (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, whether or not evidenced by a certificate of deposit) now or hereafter maintained by such Credit Party with the Lender, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by Law. Such right shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances and, without limitation, shall exist whether or not the Lender or any other Person shall have given notice or made any demand to such Credit Party or any other Person, whether such indebtedness, obligation or liability owed to such Credit Party is contingent, absolute, matured or unmatured (it being agreed that the Lender may deem such indebtedness, obligation or liability to be then due and payable at the time of such setoff), and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty or any other security, right or remedy available to the Lender or any other Person. The Lender agrees promptly to notify such Credit Party after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not effect the validity of set-off application. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that any branch,

subsidiary or affiliate of the Lender shall have the same rights of set-off as the Lender as provided in this Section 8.12 (regardless of whether such branch, subsidiary or affiliate would otherwise be deemed in privity with or a direct creditor of such Credit Party). The rights provided by this Section 8.12 are in addition to all other rights of set-off and banker’s lien and all other rights and remedies which the Lender (or any such branch, subsidiary or affiliate) may otherwise have under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, or otherwise, and nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed a waiver or prohibition of or restriction on the rights of set-off or banker’s lien of any such Person.

8.13 Successors and Assigns; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the Lender, all future holders of the Note, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Credit Parties may not assign or transfer any of their rights hereunder or interests herein without the prior written consent of all the Lender, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be void.

(b) Assignments. The Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or any portion of its Commitments and Loans owing to it and any Note held by it) to any Person. Upon such assignment, the purchasing Lender shall be a party hereto and shall have the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder, and the Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent so transferred (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall cease to be a party to this Agreement).

(c) Financial and Other Information. The Credit Parties authorize the Lender to disclose to any transferee and any prospective transferee any and all financial and other information in its possession concerning the Credit Parties and affiliates which has been or may be delivered to it by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or its credit evaluation of the Credit Parties.

8.14 Materiality.

Unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, determinations regarding the materiality of any act, event, condition or circumstance shall be in the reasonable judgment of the Lender.

8.15 Governing Law; Arbitration: Waiver of Jury Trial; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT, IF ANY, OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

(b) Arbitration; Jury Trial Waiver.

(i) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (A) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (B) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration 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 or evidenced by this agreement.

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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 paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (A) serve as the provider of arbitration or (B) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, any party to this agreement may substitute another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.

(iv) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the Commonwealth of Virginia. 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.

(v) 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 arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

(vi) This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (A) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (B) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (C) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (D) 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.

(vii) 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.

(viii) 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 provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this agreement.
