8.2 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any change in applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for the Lender to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, the Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for the Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans.

8.3 Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans the Lender determines that:

(1) deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or

(2) (A) LIBOR as determined by the Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding its Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or (B) the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable,

(2) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on the Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Note, its Letter(s) of Credit, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by the Lender (accompanied by a certificate of the Lender explaining such increase in cost and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) Capital. If, after the date hereof, the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by the Lender (accompanied by a certificate of the Lender explaining such reduction and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail), Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

-43-

(c) Certificate. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.4 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

8.5 Lending Offices. The Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to Borrower. To the extent reasonably possible, the Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of Borrower to the Lender under Section 8.4 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Section 8.3, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to the Lender.

8.6 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall be made as if the Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.

8.7 Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability Arrangements. By virtue of the Lender’s execution of this Agreement, any Affiliate of the Lender with whom Parent or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guaranties as more fully set forth in Section 2.8 and Section 4 hereof.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Withholding Taxes. Each payment by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient imposed by the jurisdiction in which its principal executive office or Lending Office is located) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required, Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Lender free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount that the Lender would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall

-44-

deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Lender on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

9.2 No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Lender and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

9.3 Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

9.4 Documentary Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay on demand any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

9.5 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

9.6 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lender of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lender with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 8.1, 8.4, and 9.12, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations.

9.7 Notices.

(a) Addresses and Times. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or facsimile number set forth below, or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Lender and Borrower given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by facsimile or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

-46-

assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor Parent may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Lender, and Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (1) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.9(b) or (2) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.9(d) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.9(b) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Participations. Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (1) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (3) Borrower and L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment or waiver described in Section 9.10 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.9(c), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.1 and 8.4(b) to the same extent as if it were the Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.13 as though it were the Lender.

(c) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.4(a) than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’ prior written consent. A Participant that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) if it were the Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.1 unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’ prior written consent.

(d) Certain Pledges. The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

-47-

9.11 Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

9.12 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Obligation to Pay. Borrowers agree to pay all costs and expenses of the Lender payable to third parties in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Lender, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by the Lender and payable to third parties in connection with periodic collateral filing fees and lien searches. Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Lender, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, financial advisors, and consultants against all Damages (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the indemnified Person is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may reasonably pay or incur arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, other than those which arise from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification. Borrower, upon demand by the Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred and payable to third parties in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Indemnity. Borrower unconditionally agrees to forever indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and covenant not to xxx for any claim for contribution against, the Lender for any Damages, costs, loss or expense, including without limitation, response, remedial or removal costs, arising out of any of the following: (1) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by Parent, Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (2) the operation or violation of any environmental law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder by Parent, Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), (3) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with Parent, Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), and (4) the inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by Parent, Borrower or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for Damages arising from the fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party claiming

-48-

indemnification. This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim under this indemnification. This indemnification shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and collateral trustees, and their successors and assigns.

9.13 Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender and each subsequent holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized by each of Parent and Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to Parent, Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of Parent or Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of Borrower to the Lender or that subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lender or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or Note and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 7 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

9.14 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

9.15 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

9.16 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

9.17 Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or

-49-

any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) no Borrower, guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Lender, be (1) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (2) refunded to Borrower, or (3) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) no Borrower, guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Lender for any Damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lender has received the amount of interest which the Lender would have received during such period on such Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

9.18 Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

9.19 USA Patriot Act. The Lender hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow the Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

9.20 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Lender, Parent and Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and of any Virginia State court sitting in Fairfax County, Virginia for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each of the Lender, Parent and Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Parent, Borrower and the Lender hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
