3.2 Interest and Principal Payments.

(a) Interest. Interest on each LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on the last day of its respective Interest Period and on the Termination Date and Term Loan Termination Date, as applicable; provided that if any Interest Period is a period greater than three months, then accrued interest shall also be due and payable on the date three months after the commencement of such Interest Period. Interest on each CBFR Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on the last day of each month (commencing on the first of those dates that follows the Closing Date), and on the Termination Date and Term Loan Termination Date, as applicable.

(b) Principal. The Principal Debt under the PMC Revolving Facility and the First Western Revolving Facility is due and payable on the Termination Date. The Specified Borrowers promise to pay the Principal Debt outstanding under the PMC Revolving Facility on the Termination Date and First Western promises to pay the Principal Debt outstanding under the First Western Revolving Facility on the Termination Date. The Principal Debt under the Term Loan is due and payable on the Term Loan Termination Date, and the Specified Borrowers promise to pay the Principal Debt outstanding under the Term Loan on the Term Loan Termination Date. After giving Administrative Agent advance written notice of the intent to prepay, the Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Principal Debt from time to time and at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (i) such notice must be received by Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. on (A) the third Business Day preceding the date of prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, and (B) one Business Day preceding the date of prepayment of a CBFR Borrowing; (ii) each such partial prepayment must be in a minimum amount of at least $500,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000 thereof (if a LIBOR Rate Borrowing or a CBFR Borrowing); (iii) all accrued interest on the Obligation must also be paid in full, to the date of such prepayment; and (iv) the Borrowers shall pay any related Consequential Loss within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the facility or the subfacility hereunder being prepaid, the Type of Borrowing(s) and amount(s) of such Borrowing(s) to be prepaid and shall constitute a binding obligation of each of the Borrowers to make a prepayment on the date stated therein.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 23


(c) Mandatory Prepayments. On any date of determination, if the Commitment Usage under the PMC Revolving Facility exceeds the PMC Commitment then in effect, then the Specified Borrowers shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Debt under the PMC Revolving Facility in at least the amount of any such excess, together with (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid and (B) any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof. On any date of determination, if the Commitment Usage under the First Western Revolving Facility exceeds the First Western Commitment then in effect, then First Western shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Debt under the First Western Revolving Facility in at least the amount of any such excess, together with (x) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount so prepaid and (y) any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof.

3.3 Interest Options. Except that the LIBOR Rate may not be selected when an Event of Default or Potential Default exists, and except as otherwise provided in this agreement, Borrowings bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in each case as designated or deemed designated by Borrowers), as the case may be and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the CB Floating Rate, LIBOR Rate or Maximum Rate is effective, without notice to any Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date of change. If the Borrowers do not designate the Type for a requested Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed to be a LIBOR Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (unless the LIBOR Rate is unavailable because of the conditions described in Sections 3.15 or 3.17, in which case the requested Borrowing will be deemed a CBFR Borrowing).

3.4 Quotation of Rates. Any Borrower may call Administrative Agent before delivering a Borrowing Request to receive an indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not bind Administrative Agent or Lenders or affect the interest rate that is actually in effect when the Borrowers make a Borrowing Request or on the Borrowing Date.

3.5 Default Rate. All past-due Principal Debt and, unless prohibited by applicable Government Requirements, past-due interest accruing on the Principal Debt shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, bear interest on the amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the date due (stated or by acceleration) at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether payment is made before or after entry of a judgment.

3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, the interest rate on that Borrowing is limited to the Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total interest paid or accrued is less than the interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at that time and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, the Borrowers shall, on a joint and several basis, pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the applicable Notes.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 24


3.7 Interest Calculations. Interest on all Borrowings will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed as if each calendar year consisted of (a) 360 days in the case of LIBOR Borrowings or CBFR Borrowings calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate (unless such calculation would result in the interest on the Borrowings exceeding the Maximum Rate in which event such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) and (b) 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of CBFR Borrowings calculated with reference to Administrative Agent’s base rate of interest. All interest rate determinations and calculations by Administrative Agent are conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

3.8 Maximum Rate. It is the intent of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers in the execution and performance of the Credit Documents to remain in strict compliance with applicable Governmental Requirements from time to time in effect, including applicable laws limiting the amount or rate of interest. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money with interest at a rate or in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount. For purposes of the Credit Documents, “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable Governmental Requirements that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received or paid under the Credit Documents. No Borrower shall ever be required to pay unearned interest and shall never be required to pay interest at a rate or in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the Credit Documents, and of any other instrument pertaining to or securing the Obligation, which may be in actual or apparent conflict herewith. If the Obligation is prepaid, or if the maturity of the Obligation is accelerated for any reason, or if under any contingency the effective rate or amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under the Credit Documents would exceed the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount, or in the event any Lender or any holder of the Notes shall charge, contract for, take, reserve or receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would, in the absence of this provision, increase the effective rate or amount of interest payable under the Credit Documents to a rate or amount in excess of that permitted to be charged, contracted for, taken, reserved or received under applicable Governmental Requirements then in effect, then the principal amount of the Obligation or the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under the Notes or both shall be reduced to the amount allowed under applicable Governmental Requirements as now or hereinafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and all such moneys so charged, contracted for, taken, reserved or received that are deemed to constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Rate shall immediately be returned to or credited to the account of any Borrower upon such determination. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers further stipulate and agree that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate or amount of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received under the Credit Documents which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate or amount exceeds the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount, shall be made to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of the Notes, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or

received from Borrowers or otherwise by Lenders or any other holder of the Notes. If the Governmental Requirements of the State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the “Maximum Rate” or the “Maximum Amount,” then those terms mean the indicated rate ceiling from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended.

3.9 Interest Periods. When Borrowers request any LIBOR Rate Borrowing, the Borrowers may elect the applicable interest period (each an “Interest Period”), which may be, at the Borrowers’ option, one, three or six months, subject to the following conditions: (a) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing commences on the applicable Borrowing Date or conversion date, and each subsequent Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing commences on the day when the next preceding applicable Interest Period expires; (b) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing begins on a day for which no numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the Interest Period exists, then the Interest Period ends on the last Business Day of that calendar month; (c) if Borrowers are required to pay any portion of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing before the end of its Interest Period in order to comply with the payment provisions of the Credit Documents, the Borrowers shall also pay, on a joint and several basis, any related Consequential Loss; (d) no Interest Period for any portion of Principal Debt may extend beyond the scheduled repayment date for that portion of Principal Debt; and (e) no more than four Interest Periods may be in effect at one time.

3.10 Conversions. Subject to the dollar limits of Sections 2.1 and 2.8 and provided that no Borrower may convert to or select a new Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing at any time when an Event of Default exists, the Borrowers may (a) convert a LIBOR Rate Borrowing on the last day of the applicable Interest Period to a CBFR Borrowing, (b) convert a CBFR Borrowing at any time to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing and (c) elect a new Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing. That election may be made by telephonic request to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the second Business Day before the conversion date or the last day of the Interest Period, as the case may be (for conversion to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing or election of a new Interest Period), and no later than 10:00 a.m. on the last day of the Interest Period (for conversion to a CBFR Borrowing). The Borrowers shall provide a Conversion Notice to Administrative Agent no later than two days after the date of the conversion or election. Absent Borrowers’ telephonic request for conversion or election of a new Interest Period or if an Event of Default exists, then, a LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be deemed converted to a CBFR Borrowing effective when the applicable Interest Period expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower may request an Interest Period for Borrowings outstanding under (i) the Revolving Facilities that extends past the Termination Date or (ii) the Term Loan that extends past the Term Loan Termination Date.

3.11 Order of Application.

(a) No Event of Default. Payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be applied in the order and manner specified in this agreement; provided, however, if no order is otherwise specified in this agreement and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be applied first to fees, second to accrued interest then due and payable on the Principal Debt under the Term Loan, then to the Principal Debt under the Revolving Facilities and then to the remaining Obligation in the order and manner as Borrowers may direct.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 26


(b) Event of Default or No Direction. If an Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing (or if Borrowers fail to give direction as permitted under Section 3.11(a)), any payment or prepayment (including proceeds from the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all fees and expenses for which Administrative Agent or Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed in accordance with the Credit Documents (and if such payment or prepayment is less than all unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment or prepayment shall be paid against unpaid and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date); (ii) to accrued interest on the Principal Debt; (iii) to the remaining Principal Debt in such order as Required Lenders may elect (provided that Required Lenders will apply such proceeds in an order that will minimize any Consequential Loss); and (iv) to the remaining Obligation in the order and manner Required Lenders deem appropriate.

(c) Pro Rata. Each payment or prepayment shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Part of that payment or prepayment.

3.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender obtains any payment or prepayment with respect to the Obligation (whether voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise, including, without limitation, as a result of exercising its Rights under Section 3.13) that exceeds the part of that payment or prepayment that it is then entitled to receive under the Credit Documents, then that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders participations that will cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or prepayment ratably with each other Lender. If all or any portion of any excess payment or prepayment is subsequently recovered from the purchasing Lender, then the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender under this section may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, exercise all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of offset) with respect to that participation as fully as if that Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of that participation.

3.13 Offset. If an Event of Default exists, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, each Lender may exercise (for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with Section 3.12) the Rights of offset and banker’s lien against each and every account and other property, or any interest therein, that any Company may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation owed (directly or participated) to it.

3.14 Booking Borrowings. To the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates. However, no Affiliate or branch is entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.16 than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to those Borrowings, and a transfer may not be made if, as a direct result of it, Section 3.15 or 3.17 would apply to any of the Obligation. If any of the conditions of Sections 3.16 or 3.17 ever apply to a Lender, that Lender shall, to the extent

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 27


possible, carry or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates so long as the transfer is consistent with the other provisions of this section, does not create any burden or adverse circumstance for that Lender that would not otherwise exist, and eliminates or ameliorates the conditions of Sections 3.16 or 3.17, as applicable.

3.15 Basis Unavailable or Inadequate for LIBOR Rate. If on or before any date when a LIBOR Rate is to be determined for a Borrowing, Administrative Agent or any Lender determines (and Required Lenders agree with that determination) that the basis for determining the applicable rate is not available or that the resulting rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Lenders of making or converting Borrowings at that rate for the applicable Interest Period, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Lenders of that determination (which is conclusive and binding on each Borrower absent manifest error), and the applicable Borrowing shall bear interest at the sum of the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Until Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers that those circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, Lenders’ commitments under this agreement to make, or to convert to, LIBOR Rate Borrowings, as the case may be, shall be suspended.

3.16 Additional Costs. Each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to notify Administrative Agent, the other Lenders, and Borrowers within 180 days after it has actual knowledge that any circumstances exist that would give rise to any payment obligation by Borrowers under clauses (a) through (c) below. Although no Lender shall have any liability to Administrative Agent, any other Lender, or any Company for its failure to give that notice, no Borrower is obligated to pay any amounts under those clauses that arise, accrue or are imposed more than 180 days before that notice to the extent that notice is applicable to those amounts. To demand payment under this section, any such Lender must generally be making similar demand for similar additional costs under credit agreements to which it is party that contain similar provisions to this section.

(a) Reserves. With respect to any LIBOR Rate Borrowing (i) if any change in any present Governmental Requirement, any change in the interpretation or application of any present Governmental Requirement, or any future Governmental Requirement imposes, modifies or deems applicable (or if compliance by any Lender with any requirement of any Governmental Authority results in) any requirement that any reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, or special reserves) be maintained (other than any reserve included in the Reserve Requirement) and if (ii) those reserves reduce any sums receivable by that Lender under this agreement or increase the costs incurred by Lender in advancing or maintaining any portion of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing, then (iii) that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it for its reduction or increase (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and (iv) Borrowers shall pay that amount to that Lender within five Business Days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnifications in this clause (a) survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 28


(b) Capital Adequacy. With respect to any Borrowing, if any change in any present Governmental Requirement, any change in the interpretation or application of any present Governmental Requirement (including, without limitation, any requirement as a result of or in connection with (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and (ii) the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III), or any future Governmental Requirement regarding capital adequacy or pursuant to or in connection with (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith, or (y) the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, or if compliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender with any request, directive or requirement imposed in the future by any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, or if any change in its written policies or in the risk category of this transaction, in any of the foregoing events or circumstances, reduces the rate of return on its capital as a consequence of its obligations under this agreement to a level below that which it otherwise could have achieved (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by it to be material (and it may, in determining the amount, utilize reasonable assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses and use any reasonable averaging or attribution method), then (unless the effect is already reflected in the rate of interest then applicable under this agreement) Administrative Agent or that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall notify Borrowers and deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and Borrowers shall pay that amount to Administrative Agent or that Lender within five Business Days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this clause (b) shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.

(c) Taxes. Any Taxes payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender or ruled by a Governmental Authority to be payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of this agreement or any other Credit Document shall, if permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, be paid by Borrowers, together with interest and penalties, if any, except for Taxes payable on or measured by the overall net income of Administrative Agent or that Lender (or any other Person with whom Administrative Agent or that Lender files a consolidated, combined, unitary, or similar Tax return) and except for interest and penalties incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or that Lender. Administrative Agent or that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall notify Borrowers and deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of Taxes payable, which certificate is conclusive and binding (absent manifest error), and Borrowers shall pay that amount to Administrative Agent for its account or the account of that Lender, as the case may be, within ten Business Days after demand. If Administrative Agent or that Lender subsequently receives a refund of the Taxes paid to it by Borrowers, then the recipient shall promptly pay the refund to Borrowers.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 29


3.17 Change in Governmental Requirements. If any Governmental Requirement makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Borrowings, then that Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent, and (a) as to undisbursed funds, that requested Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing and (b) as to any outstanding Borrowing (i) if maintaining the Borrowing until the last day of the applicable Interest Period is unlawful, the Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing as of the date of notice, in which event Borrowers will be required to pay any related Consequential Loss or (ii) if not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, the Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) if any conversion will not resolve the unlawfulness, Borrowers shall promptly prepay the Borrowing, without penalty but with related Consequential Loss.

3.18 Consequential Loss. Each Borrower shall indemnify, on a joint and several basis, each Lender against, and pay to it upon demand, any Consequential Loss of that Lender. When any Lender demands that Borrowers pay any Consequential Loss, that Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for imposing Consequential Loss and the calculation of the amount, which calculation is conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this Section survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.

3.19 Foreign Lenders, Participants, and Purchasers. Each Lender, Participant (by accepting a participation interest under this agreement), and Purchaser (by executing an Assignment) that is not organized under the Governmental Requirements of the United States of America or one of its states (a) represents to Administrative Agent and Borrowers that (i) no Taxes are required to be withheld by Administrative Agent or any Borrower with respect to any payments to be made to it in respect of the Obligation and (ii) it has furnished to Administrative Agent and Borrowers two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, Form 1001, Form W-8, or any other form acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrowers that entitles them to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all interest or fee payments under the Credit Documents, and (b) covenants to (i) provide Administrative Agent and Borrowers a new Form 4224, Form 1001, Form W-8, or other form acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrowers upon the expiration or obsolescence according to applicable Governmental Requirements of any previously delivered form, duly executed and completed by it, entitling it to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all interest and fee payments under the Credit Documents, and (ii) comply from time to time with all applicable Governmental Requirements with regard to the withholding Tax exemption. If any of the foregoing is not true at any time or the applicable forms are not provided, then Borrowers and Administrative Agent (without duplication) may deduct and withhold from interest and fee payments under the Credit Documents any Tax at the maximum rate under the Code or other applicable Governmental Requirement, and amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated as paid to that Lender, Participant, or Purchaser, as the case may be, for all purposes under the Credit Documents.

4.2 Fees of Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in such amounts and upon such payment terms as may be separately agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrowers in writing.

Each installment shall be in an amount equal to 0.25% multiplied by the amount by which (a) the Total Commitment Amount exceeds (b) the average daily aggregate Total Commitment Usage, in each case during the period from and including the last payment date to and excluding the payment date for such installment, provided that each such installment shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4.1(f). Solely for the purposes of this Section 4.4, “ratable” shall mean, for any period of calculation, with respect to any Lender, that proportion which (x) the average daily unused Committed Sum of such Lender during such period bears to (y) the amount of the average daily unused portion of the Total Commitment Amount.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 55


SECTION 11. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

11.1 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

(a) Debtor Relief. If an Event of Default exists under Section 10.3, the commitment to extend credit under this agreement automatically terminates and the entire unpaid principal balance of the Obligation, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts then accrued and unpaid, automatically become and shall be due and payable without any action of any kind whatsoever.

(b) Other Events of Default. If any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (with the consent of, and must, upon the request of Required Lenders), do any one or more of the following: (i) If the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under Section 11.1(a), declare the entire unpaid principal balance of all or any part of the Obligation, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts then accrued and unpaid, immediately due and payable, whereupon it is due and payable; (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this agreement; (iii) reduce any claim to judgment; (iv) require the Companies to open and maintain a secured lockbox account for the receipt of the Companies’ accounts receivables; notes receivable and other receivables; and (v) exercise any and all other legal or equitable Rights afforded by the Credit Documents, by applicable Governmental Requirements or otherwise at law or in equity.

(c) Offset. If an Event of Default exists, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, each Lender may exercise the Rights of offset and banker’s lien against each and every account and other property, or any interest therein, which any Company may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation owed to that Lender.

11.2 Company Waivers. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, each Borrower and each other Company waives, in respect to any action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time and from time to time pursuant to Section 11.1, presentment, demand for payment, protest, acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices and acts, and agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, increase or other modification to, or by any release or change in any security for the payment of, all or any part of the Obligation.

11.3 Performance by Administrative Agent. If any Company’s covenant, duty or agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, Administrative Agent may at its option (but subject to the approval of Required Lenders), perform or attempt to perform that covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of that Company, and any amount expended by or on behalf of Administrative Agent in its performance or attempted performance is payable by the Companies, jointly and severally, to Administrative Agent on demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest on the portion thereof from time to

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 56


time unpaid at the Default Rate from the date of Administrative Agent’s expenditure until paid. However, Administrative Agent does not assume and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any Company’s covenants, duties or agreements. Notwithstanding the forgoing, unless an Event of Default then exists, Administrative Agent shall not take any such action without requesting that a Borrower take such action on its own behalf.

11.4 Not in Control. Nothing in any Credit Document gives or may be deemed to give to Administrative Agent or any Lender the Right to exercise control over any Company’s Real Property, other assets, affairs or management or to preclude or interfere with any Company’s compliance with any Governmental Requirement or require any act or omission by any Company that may be harmful to Persons or property. Any “Material Adverse Event” or other materiality or substantiality qualifier of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision of any Credit Document is included for credit documentation purposes only and does not imply and should not be deemed to mean that Administrative Agent or any Lender acquiesces in any non compliance by any Company with any applicable Governmental Requirement, document, or otherwise or does not expect the Companies to promptly, diligently and continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, compliance, closure or other activities required or appropriate in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ power is limited to the Rights provided in, or referred to by, the Credit Documents. All of those Rights exist solely to assure payment and performance of the Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, and may be exercised in a manner determined to be appropriate by Administrative Agent or Lenders in their sole business judgment.

11.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any partial payment on the Obligation is not a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders of any Event of Default is a waiver of any other then existing or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders in exercising any Right under the Credit Documents impairs that Right or is a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right under the Credit Documents or otherwise.

11.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and Lenders under the Credit Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights granted to Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and Lenders at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Credit Documents.

11.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by Administrative Agent or Lenders from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to the Obligation according to Section 3.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 57


11.8 Certain Proceedings. Each Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers Administrative Agent or Required Lenders reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration (other than securities law registrations), qualification, permit, license or authorization of any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under the Credit Documents. Because each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent’s and Required Lenders’ remedies under applicable Governmental Requirements for failure of such Borrower to comply with the provisions of this section would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Borrower agrees that the covenants of this section may be specifically enforced.

11.9 Expenditures by Administrative Agent or Lenders. Any sums spent by Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any Right under any Credit Document is payable by the Companies to Administrative Agent within 10 days of written demand, becomes part of the Obligation, and bears interest on the portion thereof from time to time unpaid at the Default Rate from the date spent until the date repaid.

SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS.

12.1 Administrative Agent.

(a) Appointment. Each Lender appoints Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, each successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 12) as its nominee and agent to act in its name and on its behalf (and Administrative Agent and each such successor accepts that appointment): (i) To act as its nominee and on its behalf in and under all Credit Documents; (ii) to arrange the means whereby its funds are to be made available to any Borrower under the Credit Documents; (iii) to take any action that it properly requests under the Credit Documents (subject to the concurrence of other Lenders as may be required under the Credit Documents); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to it under the Credit Documents; (v) to promptly distribute to it all material information, requests, documents, and items received from any Borrower under the Credit Documents; (vi) to promptly distribute to it its ratable part of each payment or prepayment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents; and (vii) to deliver to the appropriate Persons requests, demands, approvals, and consents received from it. However, Administrative Agent may not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Governmental Requirements.

(b) Successor. Administrative Agent may assign all of its Rights and obligations as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents to any of its Affiliates, which Affiliate shall then be the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents. Administrative Agent may also voluntarily resign and shall resign upon the request of Required Lenders for cause (i.e., Administrative Agent is continuing to fail to perform its responsibilities as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents). If the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever ceases to be a party to this agreement or if the initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever resigns (whether voluntarily or at the request of Required Lenders), then Required Lenders shall (which, if no Event

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 58


of Default or Potential Default exists, is subject to Borrowers’ approval that may not be unreasonably withheld) appoint the successor Administrative Agent from among Lenders (other than the resigning Administrative Agent). If Required Lenders fail to appoint a successor Administrative Agent within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent has given notice of resignation or Required Lenders have removed the resigning Administrative Agent, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which must be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition). Upon its acceptance of appointment as successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent succeeds to and becomes vested with all of the Rights of the prior Administrative Agent, and the prior Administrative Agent is discharged from its duties and obligations of Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and each Lender shall execute the documents that any Lender, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, or the successor Administrative Agent reasonably request to reflect the change. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, the provisions of this section inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

(c) Rights as Lender. Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has the same Rights under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those Rights as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent. The term “Lender”, unless the context otherwise indicates, includes Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal does not impair or otherwise affect any Rights that it has or may have in its capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrowers but is simply acting in the capacity described in this agreement to alleviate administrative burdens for Borrowers and Lenders, that Administrative Agent has no duties or responsibilities to Lenders or Borrowers except those expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, and that Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender has the same Rights as any other Lender.

(d) Other Activities. Administrative Agent or any Lender may now or in the future be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing transactions with any Borrower, act as trustee or depositary for any Borrower, or otherwise be engaged in other transactions with any Borrower (collectively, the “other activities”) not the subject of the Credit Documents. Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Credit Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is responsible to account to the other Lenders for those other activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other Lender’s activities, any present or future guaranties by or for the account of any Borrower that are not contemplated by or included in the Credit Documents, any present or future offset exercised by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of those other activities, any present or future property taken as security for any of those other activities, or any property now or hereafter in Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s possession or control that may be or become security for the obligations of any Borrower arising under the Credit Documents by reason of the general description of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but, if any payments in respect of those guaranties or that property or the proceeds thereof is applied by Administrative Agent or any Lender to reduce the Obligation, then each Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the Credit Documents).

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 59


12.2 Expenses. Each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Part of any reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) incurred by Administrative Agent (while acting in such capacity) in connection with any of the Credit Documents if Administrative Agent is not reimbursed from other sources within 30 days after incurrence. Each Lender is entitled to receive its Pro Rata Part of any reimbursement that it makes to Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other sources.

12.3 Proportionate Absorption of Losses. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, nothing in the Credit Documents gives any Lender any advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligation is concerned or relieves any Lender from ratably absorbing any losses sustained with respect to the Obligation (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by any Lender result in any Borrower or any other obligor on the Obligation having any credit, allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any part of that Lender’s Pro Rata Part of the Obligation).

12.4 Delegation of Duties; Reliance. Lenders may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Credit Documents by or through Administrative Agent, and Lenders and Administrative Agent may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Credit Documents by or through their respective Representatives. Administrative Agent, Lenders, and their respective Representatives (a) are entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected in relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion of counsel selected by Administrative Agent or that Lender (but nothing in this clause (a) permits Administrative Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing is required by this agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is required by this agreement), (b) are entitled to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its portion of the Obligation for all purposes until, written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by Administrative Agent (and any request, authorization, consent, or approval of any Lender is conclusive and binding on each subsequent holder, assignee, or transferee of or Participant in that Lender’s portion of the Obligation until that notice is given and received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless a responsible officer of Administrative Agent, who handles matters associated with the Credit Documents and transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or Administrative Agent has been notified by a Lender or a Borrower, and (d) are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent and are not liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of counsel, accountants, or experts.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 60


12.5 Limitation of Administrative Agent’s Liability.

(a) Exculpation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under the Credit Documents in good faith and believed by it or them to be within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Credit Documents or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct), and neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by virtue of the Credit Documents (but nothing in this agreement negates the obligation of Administrative Agent to account for funds received by it for the account of any Lender).

(b) Indemnity. Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss, cost, liability, and expense, Administrative Agent may not be compelled to do any act under the Credit Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Credit Documents. If Administrative Agent requests instructions from Lenders, or Required Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action in connection with any Credit Document, Administrative Agent is entitled to refrain (without incurring any liability to any Person by so refraining) from that act or action unless and until it has received instructions. In no event, however, may Administrative Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any action that it or they determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any right of action against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting under this agreement in accordance with instructions of Required Lenders.

(c) Reliance. Administrative Agent is not responsible to any Lender or any Participant for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon Administrative Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any Company and the risks involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or the due execution of any Credit Document (except by Administrative Agent), (iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein (except by Administrative Agent) or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any collateral now or hereafter securing the Obligation or the existence, priority, or perfection of any Lien now or hereafter granted or purported to be granted on the collateral under any Credit Document, or (v) observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of any Credit Document on the part of any Company. EACH LENDER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST (BUT LIMITED TO SUCH LENDER’S SPECIFIED PERCENTAGE OF) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, REASONABLE EXPENSES, AND REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY THEM IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 61


TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THEM UNDER THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH AMOUNTS BY ANY COMPANY. ALTHOUGH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

12.6 Event of Default. While an Event of Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that Required Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders. Administrative Agent is entitled to act or refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so acting or refraining) unless and until it has received instructions from Required Lenders. In actions with respect to any Company’s property, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender.

12.7 Limitation of Liability. No Lender or any Participant will incur any liability to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in bad faith, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant will incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other Lender or any Participant.

12.8 Relationship of Lenders. The Credit Documents do not create a partnership or joint venture among Administrative Agent and Lenders or among Lenders.

12.9 Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this section inure to the benefit of any Company or any other Person except Administrative Agent and Lenders. Therefore, no Company or any other Person is entitled to rely upon, or entitled to raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with these provisions.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.

13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 13.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.3; provided, however, that the

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 62


Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such loan.

13.2 Participations.

(a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Credit Documents, all amounts payable by each Borrower under this agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents.

(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any loan or any commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such loan or such commitment, extends the Stated Termination Date or the Term Loan Termination Date, postpones any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such loan or any such commitment, releases any guarantor of any such loan or releases all or substantially all of the collateral, if any, securing any such loan.

(c) Benefit of Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Credit Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.1 as if each Participant were a Lender.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 63


13.3 Assignments.

(a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of Borrowers shall not be required. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall (unless each of Borrowers and Administrative Agent otherwise consents) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Committed Sum (calculated as at the date of such assignment) or outstanding loans (if the Total Commitment Amount has been terminated).

(b) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Administrative Agent of an assignment, together with any consents required by Section 13.3(a), and (ii) payment of a $4,000 fee from the Purchaser or the assigning Lender to Administrative Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by Administrative Agent), such assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the commitments and loans under the applicable assignment agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Credit Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this agreement and any other Credit Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by Borrowers, the Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the commitments and loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.3(b), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

13.4 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees in writing to keep such information confidential.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 64


13.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Credit Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.19.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

14.1 Nonbusiness Days. Any payment or action that is due under any Credit Document on a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next succeeding Business Day (but interest shall continue to accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the payment concerns a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, in which case if the next-succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day.

14.2 Communications. Unless otherwise specifically provided, whenever any Credit Document requires or permits any consent, approval, notice, request or demand from one party to another, communication must be in writing (which may be by telex or fax) to be effective and shall be deemed to have been given (i) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex number and the appropriate answer back is received, (ii) if by fax, when transmitted to the appropriate fax number and machine confirmation of receipt is received (and all communications sent by fax must be confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any requirement in this parenthetical shall not affect the date when the fax shall be deemed to have been delivered), (iii) if by mail, on the third Business Day after it is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed and deposited in the appropriate official postal service, (iv) if by
e-mail, when transmitted to the appropriate e-mail address of the receiving party (and all communications sent by e-mail must be followed by a facsimile of that e-mail sent to the receiving party), or (v) if by any other means, when actually delivered. Until changed by notice pursuant to this agreement, the addresses (and fax numbers) for Borrowers and Administrative Agent are stated beside their respective signatures to this agreement. The address (and fax number) for each Lender who becomes party to this agreement shall be stated beside its name on Schedule 2 or in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a party.

14.3 Form and Number of Documents. The form, substance and number of counterparts of each writing to be furnished under this agreement must be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

14.4 Exceptions to Covenants. No Company may take or fail to take any action that is permitted as an exception to any of the covenants contained in any Credit Document if that action or omission would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in any Credit Document.

14.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations, and warranties made in any of the Credit Documents survive all closings under the Credit Documents and, except as otherwise indicated, are not affected by any investigation made by any party.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 65


14.6 Governing Governmental Requirements. Unless otherwise stated in any Credit Document, the Governmental Requirements of the State of Texas and of the United States of America govern the Rights and duties of the parties to the Credit Documents and the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of the Credit Documents.

14.7 Invalid Provisions. Any provision in any Credit Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Credit Document shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never been included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the severed provision. Administrative Agent, Lenders and each Company party to the affected Credit Document agree to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

14.8 Conflicts Between Credit Documents. The provisions of this agreement control if in conflict (i.e., the provisions contradict each other as opposed to a Credit Document containing additional provisions not in conflict) with the provisions of any other Credit Document.

14.9 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Each Company’s obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect until termination of the commitments and payment in full of the Principal Debt and of all interest, fees, and other amounts of the Obligation then due and owing, except that Sections 3.16, 3.18, Section 11, and Section 13, and any other provisions under the Credit Documents expressly intended to survive by the terms hereof or by the terms of the applicable Credit Documents, shall survive such termination. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by any Borrower under any Credit Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, the obligations of each Company under the Credit Documents with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

14.10 Amendments, Consents, Conflicts, and Waivers.

(a) Required Lenders. Unless otherwise specifically provided (i) the provisions of this agreement may be amended, modified, or waived, only by an instrument in writing executed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent, and Required Lenders and supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms of this agreement, and (ii) the other Credit Documents may only be the subject of an amendment, modification, or waiver that has been approved by Required Lenders and Borrowers.

(b) All Lenders. Any amendment to or consent or waiver under this agreement or any Credit Document that purports to accomplish any of the following must be by an instrument in writing executed by Borrowers and Administrative Agent and executed (or approved, as the case may be) by each Lender: (i) Extends the due date or decreases the amount of any scheduled payment or amortization of the Obligation beyond the date specified in the Credit Documents; (ii) decreases any rate or amount of interest, fees, or other sums payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders under this agreement

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 66


(except such reductions as are contemplated by this agreement); (iii) changes the definition of “Committed Amount,” “Total Commitment Amount”, “Specified Percentage,” “Required Lenders,” or “Pro Rata Part;” (iv) increases any one or more Lenders’ commitments; or (v) changes this clause (b) or any other matter specifically requiring the consent of all Lenders under this agreement.

(c) Conflicts. Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of this agreement and terms and provisions in any other Credit Document is controlled by the terms and provisions of this agreement.

(d) Waivers. No course of dealing or any failure or delay by Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Representatives with respect to exercising any Right of Administrative Agent or any Lender under this agreement operates as a waiver thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and Lenders (or Required Lenders, if permitted under this agreement) to be effective, and a waiver will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

14.11 Multiple Counterparts. Any Credit Document may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, and by each party thereto on separate counterparts (including, at Administrative Agent’s discretion, counterparts or signature pages executed and transmitted by fax) with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same instrument.

14.12 Joint and Several Basis. The obligations of the Specified Borrowers under the PMC Revolving Facility, the Term Loan, this agreement and under all of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the Obligations, shall be joint and several in all respects.

14.13 VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS, AND JURY TRIAL.

(a) VENUE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH BORROWER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN TEXAS, (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR IN THE FUTURE HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT AND THE OBLIGATION BROUGHT IN THE DISTRICT COURTS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS DIVISION, (III) WAIVES ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (IV) CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THOSE COURTS IN ANY LITIGATION BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF THAT PROCESS BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, POSTAGE PREPAID, BY HAND DELIVERY, OR BY

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 67


DELIVERY BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COURIER SERVICE, AND SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE UPON DELIVERY OF THE LEGAL PROCESS AT ITS ADDRESS FOR PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (V) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS.

(b) JURY WAIVER. EACH OF BORROWERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDERS TO PROVIDE THE FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

(c) General. The scope of each of the foregoing waivers is intended to be all encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND EACH LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON THESE WAIVERS IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON EACH OF THESE WAIVERS IN RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH BORROWER FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THESE WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AGREES TO EACH WAIVER FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. The waivers in this section are irrevocable, meaning that they may not be modified either orally or in writing, and these waivers apply to any future renewals, extensions, amendments, modifications, or replacements in respect of the applicable Credit Document. In connection with any Litigation, this agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.14 ENTIRETY. THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWERS, THE OTHER COMPANIES, LENDERS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – PAGE 68


14.15 Amendment and Restatement. This agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. The execution of this agreement and the other Credit Documents executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the indebtedness outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such indebtedness. EACH BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND AS OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE DATE THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS AGAINST OR DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS TO ITS OR ANY OTHER PERSON’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS.

PMC REVOLVING NOTE

 

$40,000,000    March 10, 2014

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PMC COMMERCIAL TRUST, a real estate investment trust organized under the laws of the State of Texas (“PMC”), WESTERN FINANCIAL CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“Western Financial”), and PMC INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“PMC Investment”) (collectively PMC, Western Financial and PMC Investment, the “Specified Borrowers” and individually, a “Specified Borrower”), jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally promise to pay to the order of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association with its office in Dallas, Texas (“Lender”, and together with each subsequent holder hereof, “Payee”), at the principal banking office of Administrative Agent (hereinafter referenced) at 2200 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201, (i) the principal amount of FORTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000) (or such lesser amount as shall equal the Principal Debt under the PMC Revolving Facility), on the dates and in the principal amounts provided for in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Borrowing from time to time remaining outstanding and unpaid from the date of each such Borrowing until it shall be paid in full, at the rates per annum and on the dates provided for in the Credit Agreement.
