Re: Uncommitted Line of Credit
Dear Mr. Krieger:
You have been approved for a US$ 700,000.00 uncommitted line of credit (the "Facility") from Royal Bank of Canada (the "Bank"). The availability under the Facility may be increased or decreased by the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion. While the Bank may make extensions of credit in its sole and absolute discretion under the Facility, the Bank is not, nor shall it be, committed or otherwise obligated to make any extensions of credit under the Facility.
We are enclosing a copy of the Bank's Margin Maintenance Guidelines. These guidelines set forth the maximum loan value that the Bank may, but is not obligated to, attribute to certain classes of assets pledged to it by its clients.
Please note that any repayment of principal under the Facility may be subject to break funding costs. Please consult the relevant provisions of your loan documentation for an explanation and an illustration of how such break funding costs are calculated.
We thank you for your business. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
ROYAL BANK OF CANADA
/s/ Alexander Ingalls

1. The Bank prefers that collateral be denominated in a major currency. Where the collateral is denominated in a currency that is different from the currency of any loan, the Bank prefers that the loan value of the collateral exceed the outstanding principal balance of a loan by an amount sufficient to provide a cross-currency risk cushion of at least 5% of the currency mismatched amount. The Bank also prefers that collateral (other than cash, US Treasuries and certain other highly-rated securities) be diversified so that securities from any one issuer do not constitute more than 20% of the loan value of the collateral.
2. The Bank prefers that the sum of the loan value of (a) debt rated BB+ or lower and (b) unrated General Obligation Municipal bonds not exceed 20% of the loan value of the collateral.
3. The Bank prefers that all Mutual Funds be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The loan value that secures "purpose credit" (as defined in Regulation U) shall be capped at 50% whenever required by Regulation U.
4. Loan to value advance percentages range provided as an indication. The actual lending value will depend on the structure of the Note eg: pay-off and underlying structure, as well as the overall composition of the pledged portfolio.
