FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before September 13, 2014 (hereinafter called "Date of Maturity") the undersigned (individually and collectively, the "Borrower") jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of UNITED BANK (the "Bank," which term shall include any holder of this Note) without offset, at the Bank's office located at 2071 Chain Bridge Road, Vienna, Virginia 22182 (or at such other address as the Bank shall designate), the principal sum of Fifteen Million and no/100 Dollars ($15.000,000.00) (hereinafter called "Principal Sum"), or so much of that sum as the Bank may advance, together with interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at the rate provided in this Note.

 

This Note is an amendment and restatement of, and replaces, that certain Revolving Commercial Note dated September 26, 2003, in the original principal amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), made by the Borrower payable to the order of the Bank, and increased to $15,000,000.00 and otherwise modified by that certain First Modification Agreement dated as of May 12, 2004, that certain Third Modification Agreement dated as of November 30, 2005 (a second modification having been drafted but never executed and delivered), that certain Fourth Modification Agreement dated as of September 28, 2006, that certain Fifth Modification Agreement dated as of September 24, 2007, that certain Sixth Modification Agreement dated September 30, 2009, that certain Seventh Modification Agreement dated January 5, 2010, that certain Eighth Modification Agreement dated March 17, 2010, that certain Ninth Modification Agreement dated as of September 30, 2010, that certain Tenth Modification Agreement dated as of September 25, 2011, and that certain eleventh Modification Agreement dated as of October 25, 2011, the obligations of the Borrower under which are suspended.

 

This Note is the “Note” referenced in the Loan Agreement. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement for provisions of this Note with respect to conditions for advances, remedies on Default, and other terms.

 

INTEREST RATE. This Note shall bear interest on the principal balance outstanding from time to time, from the date of this Note until paid in full, a variable rate per annum equal, at all times, to the Prime Rate minus one-half of one percent (0.50%); provided, however, that at no time shall the interest rate on the Note be less than three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum. The "Prime Rate" shall mean that variable rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time as the domestic prime rate under the heading "Money Rates". If The Wall Street Journal shall cease to publish the Prime Rate, the term “Prime Rate” shall thereafter mean the rate announced from time to time by the Bank as its prime rate of interest and evidenced by a certificate signed by any officer of the Bank setting forth said prime rate of interest in effect on any given date, whether or not such rate is otherwise published or announced. The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Bank to borrowers. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed.

Such records shall be maintained unilaterally by the Bank without notice to the Borrower and shall be presumed to be correct, provided, however, any failure of the Bank to maintain such records or any error therein or in any notice hereunder shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay this Note in accordance with the terms hereof.

A supplemental billing notice following the Date of Maturity shall be immediately due and payable in full.
