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 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 invoice the Borrower at least five days prior to the due date of any interest payment, provided, however, that CFC’s failure to timely send an invoice with respect to any interest payment shall not constitute a waiver by CFC or be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its obligation to make such payment as provided for herein or to repay all amounts advanced hereunder in full with accrued interest as provided for herein. All amounts shall be payable at CFC’s main office at 20701 Cooperative Way, Dulles, VA 20166 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, provided, that any CFC Line of Credit Rate adjustment shall only be effective on a date that is the first or sixteenth day of any month, and any such adjustment shall remain in effect until any

 

4


subsequent change in the CFC Line of Credit Rate occurs. 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 and shall remain in effect until any subsequent change in the interest rate occurs.

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 debt (excluding unsecured indebtedness relating to trade payables incurred by Borrower in the ordinary course), 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), 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 prepay the outstanding principal balance of all Obligations, together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, any unpaid costs or expenses provided for herein, and a prepayment premium as set forth in any agreement between the Borrower and CFC with respect to any such Obligation or, if not specified therein, as prescribed by CFC pursuant to its policies of general application in effect from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after giving effect to such change in Borrower’s corporate structure, 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, 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.

Section 3.06 Termination and Cancellation of Existing Agreement. Borrower agrees that its existing line(s) of credit No(s). AK008-R-5102 with CFC, if any, 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.

Section 3.07 Default Rate. If Borrower defaults on its obligation to make a payment due hereunder by the applicable date payment is due, and such default continues for thirty days thereafter, then beginning on the thirty-first day after the payment is due and for so long as such default continues, Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
