The Lender is hereby authorized to record in its books and records, among other things, the amount and Funding Date of each Revolving Loan made by the Lender and the amount and date of each payment or prepayment of any Revolving Loan.

(c) Optional Termination or Reduction in Revolving Loan Commitment. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ notice to the Lender, to terminate the unused part of the Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted to the extent that after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

Section 2.2 Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures.

In lieu of delivering the above-described Borrowing Notice, the Borrower may give the Lender telephonic notice of any such proposed borrowing by the time period, as applicable, required under this Section 2.2(a); provided that such notice shall be confirmed in writing by delivery to the Lender promptly (but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. (Central time) on the Funding Date of the requested Revolving Loan) of a Borrowing Notice.

(b) Making of Revolving Loans. After receipt of a Borrowing Notice under clause (a) of this Section 2.2 (or telephonic notice, as the case may be), the Lender shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof, make the amount of the requested Revolving Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 P.M. (Central time) on the Funding Date applicable to the Revolving Loan specified in the Borrowing Notice.

Section 3.2 Interest after Due Date. In the event the Borrower fails to make any payment of the principal amount of or interest on any of the Revolving Loans or any other amount owing hereunder, in each case when due (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest on such unpaid amount, payable from time to time on demand, from the date such amount shall have become due to the date of payment thereof, accruing on a daily basis, at a per annum rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the sum of (x) the Interest Rate plus (y) two percent (2%).

Section 3.3 Payment and Computations.

(a) Payments. All payments required or permitted to be made to the Lender under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds to the Lender’s account, as designated, for credit to such account of the Lender as shall be specified from time to time by written notice to the Borrower, reference: AHGP Revolving Credit Agreement Payment.

(b) Computations of Interest. Interest on the unpaid portion of the Revolving Loans, and interest accruing at the Default Rate on any amount owing hereunder, shall each be calculated for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed and shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days.

(c) Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Revolving Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing May 20, 2006 and on the 20^th day of each February, May, August and November thereafter up to the Termination Date, and on the Termination Date.

Section 3.5 Optional Prepayments of Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, at its sole option, prepay on any Business Day the principal amount of the Revolving Loans in whole or in part (in an amount of $10,000.00 or more and in multiples of $1,000.00) at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty by giving notice to Lender not later than 12:00 p.m. (Central time) on the Business Day of such prepayment.

Section 3.6 Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), from the date hereof until the Termination Date, at a percentage per annum equal to 0.30% on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment (i.e., the Revolving Loan Commitment minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans). The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2006, and on the Termination Date, and shall be calculated for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed and shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days.
