Section 2.1

Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) the Lender hereby establishes in favor of the Borrower a revolving credit facility pursuant to which the Lender agrees (up to the Revolving Commitment) to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2, and (ii) the Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.22 hereof; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus the aggregate Available Amounts of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceed at any time the Revolving Commitment from time to time in effect.

Section 2.2

Revolving Loans.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to or for the account of the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time that will not result in the Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Revolving Commitment. During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, that the Borrower may not borrow or reborrow should there exist a Default or Event of Default.

Section 2.3

Procedure for Borrowings.

Provided that Lender has expressly prohibited the Borrower from using the Loan Management Service, the Borrower shall give Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 attached hereto (a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”) (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) New York Business Day prior to the requested date of each Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing, and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) London Business Days prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar Borrowing.

Section 2.4

Reserved.

 

Section 2.5

Loan Management Service.

If Lender has separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, Borrower shall not request and Lender shall no longer honor a Notice of Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3 and all Borrowings will instead be initiated by Lender and credited to the Designated Account as Borrowings as of the end of each Business Day in an amount sufficient to maintain an agreed upon ledger balance in the Designated Account. If Lender terminates Borrower’s access to the Loan Management Service, Borrower may continue to request advances as provided in Section 2.3, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Lender shall have no obligation to make a Revolving Loan advance through the Loan Management Service after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, or in an amount that would result in the Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the Revolving Commitment as set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

Section 2.6

Funding of Borrowings.

If Lender has not separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, the Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by crediting the amount of such Loan, in immediately available funds, by the close of business on such proposed date, to the Designated Account or, at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Lender.

Section 2.7

Interest Elections.

(a)

If Lender has not separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Revolving Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Revolving Borrowing. If Lender has separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, each Borrowing shall initially be made as a Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert outstanding Borrowings into a different Type or to continue such Borrowings, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)

To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall give the Lender prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, (x) prior to 10:00 a.m. one (1) New York Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing, and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) London Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Continuation/Conversion applies and if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Continuation/Conversion, which shall be a New York Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period.” If any such Notice of Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting Eurodollar Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.

 

(c)

If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Lender shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof. If Lender has not separately agreed that Borrower may use the Loan Management Service, any Borrowing for which the Borrower has not made an election shall be a Daily One Month LIBOR Borrowing.

If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan, the Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lender to make Eurodollar Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans or Daily One Month LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Borrowing for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if the Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date. Requests for Base Rate Borrowings shall be made prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) New York Business Day prior to the requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 2.17

Increased Costs.

(a)

If any Change in Law shall:

(i)

impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender; or

(ii)

impose on the Lender or the Eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by the Lender;

(iii)

and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by the Lender on the Borrower, to the Lender, within five (5) New York Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)

If the Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital (or on the capital of the Lender’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies or the policies of the Lender’s parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within five (5) New York Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.

 

 

(c)

A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or the Lender’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay any the Lender such amount or amounts within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)

Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Lender shall waive any right to demand any such compensation if notice is not provided to Borrower within one hundred eighty (180) days of a Change in Law giving rise to such demand for additional compensation.

Section 2.18

Funding Indemnity.

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender, within five (5) New York Business Days after written demand from the Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at LIBOR applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.18 submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.19

Taxes.

(a)

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)

In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)

The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within five (5) New York Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

Section 2.20

Payments Generally.

(a)

The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 2.19, or otherwise) prior to 11:00 a.m., Jacksonville, Florida time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding New York Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Lender at the Payment Office. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a New York Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding New York Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b)

If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

Section 2.21

Mitigation of Obligations.

If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.17 or Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

Section 2.22

Letter of Credit Commitment.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and provided no Default exists, the Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time during the Availability Period; provided, however, that (a) no Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiration date later than five (5) New York Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date, as it may be extended, (b) the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $10,000,000.00 and (ii) the difference between the Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Credit Exposures of the Lender.

Section 2.23

Procedure for Issuance and Reimbursement of Letters of Credit.

(a)

The Borrower shall give the Lender a written request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Notice”), and shall provide to the Lender such Letter of Credit Documents as it may require.

(b)

Should there occur any drawing under a Letter of Credit, such drawing shall constitute a Notice of Revolving Borrowing from the Borrower (which the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes) requesting the Lender to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such drawing in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. The proceeds of such Revolving Loan, to be funded in accordance with Section 2.6, shall be used exclusively for the reimbursement of such drawing.

(c)

If for any reason, a Revolving Loan may not be (as determined in the sole discretion of the Lender) or is not, made in accordance with the provisions of Subsection (b) above, then the Lender shall be considered to have made a loan (the “LOC Loan”) to the Borrower in the amount of such drawing. The LOC Loan shall be payable on demand, shall be a Base Rate Loan, and shall be an Obligation hereunder.

Section 2.24

Increased Cost.

(a)

If a Change of Law or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority either: (i) shall subject the Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Letter of Credit or its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit Documents, or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit insurance or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender or its parent; or (iii) shall impose on the Lender or its parent any other similar condition relating to the Letter of Credit or its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit Documents; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender or its parent of making or maintaining the Letter of Credit or its obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit Documents, or to reduce the amount received or receivable by the Lender or its parent under this Agreement, under the Letter of Credit or hereunder or under the other Loan Documents with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, the Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing describing such circumstances and the amount needed to compensate the Lender or its parent. Within ten (10) days after demand by the Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or its parent for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b)

If the Lender shall have determined that a Change of Law or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s (or its parent’s) capital as a consequence of the issuance or continuance of any Letter of Credit or its ability to make Loans or LOC Loans upon the occurrence of draws under any Letter of Credit (taking into consideration the Lender’s (or its parent’s) policies with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing describing such circumstances and the amount needed to compensate the Lender or its parent. Within ten (10) days after demand by the Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender (or its parent’s) for such reduction.

(c)

In determining amounts owing pursuant to Subsections (a) and (b), the Lender may use any reasonable averaging, allocation and attribution methods.

Section 2.25

Obligations Absolute.

(d)

any statement, draft or other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; or

Section 10.2

Waiver; Amendments.

(a)

No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(b)

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 10.3

Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)

The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lender and its Affiliates, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)

The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, and each Related Party of the Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which may be incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.

 

 

(c)

The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(d)

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

(e)

All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Section 10.4

Successors and Assigns.

(a)

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

(b)

The Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any agreement between the Lender and the Participant with respect to such participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that such participation agreement may provide that the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that would (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of the Participant without the written consent of such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby, (iv) release any guarantor or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty agreement without the written consent of such Participant; or (v) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations without the written consent of such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b); provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or 2.18 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of such participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20 as though it were the Lender, provided, that such Participant agrees to share with the Lender the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 2.20 as fully as if it were the Lender hereunder.

 

 

(c)

The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without complying with this Section; 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.

Section 10.5

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Florida.

(b)

The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Duval County, Florida, the United States District Court of the Middle District of Florida, and of any state court of the State of Florida and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Florida state court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)

The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section and brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

 

Section 10.6

Arbitration.

(a)

Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. In the event of a court ordered arbitration, the party requesting arbitration shall be responsible for timely filing the demand for arbitration and paying the appropriate filing fee within 30 days of the abatement order or the time specified by the court. Failure to timely file the demand for arbitration as ordered by the court will result in that party’s right to demand arbitration being automatically terminated.

(b)

Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Florida selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c)

No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

 

 

(d)

Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Florida or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Florida, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Florida and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e)

Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f)

Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g)

Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h)

Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

 

 

(i)

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

Section 10.7

Right of Setoff.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by the Lender, irrespective of whether the Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. the Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set off and any application made by the Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.8

Counterparts; Integration.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Lender constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters.

Section 10.9

Survival.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.3 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans.

 

Section 10.10

Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.11

Confidentiality.

The Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Related Party of the Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority, (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or which becomes available to the Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, and subject to provisions substantially similar to this Section 10.11, to any actual or prospective assignee or Participant, or (vi) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

Section 10.12

Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by the Lender.

 

 

Section 10.13

US PATRIOT Act Notice.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) Act of 2001 (Public Law 107–56, signed into law October 26, 2001) and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Patriot Act”), Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, including without limitation the name, address and identification number of each Loan Party.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of January 30, 2015, among each of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) of FRP HOLDINGS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Lender”).

Reference is made to the 2015 Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Lender. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender has agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Guarantors is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, and part of a common economic enterprise, and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders because advances thereunder will be used for working capital, capital expenditure and other general corporate purposes of the Guarantors and will benefit the consolidated group. The obligation of the Lender to make Loans is conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lender to make Loans, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.

Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, (a) the due and punctual payment of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise and (ii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Loan Parties to the Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with a counterparty that was the Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the “Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

 

 

Section 2.

Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Lender.

Section 3.

Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Lender to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

Section 4.

No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to the extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

Section 5.

Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. The Lender may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

 

 

Section 6.

Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Lender has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Lender in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Lender, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of the Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 7.

Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lender will have no duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 8.

Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it (as a Subsidiary of the Borrower) contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

Section 9.

Termination. The guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Lender has no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise. In connection with the foregoing, the Lender shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor or Guarantor’s designee, at such Guarantor’s expense, any documents or instruments which such Guarantor shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination and release.

 

 

Section 10.

Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Lender, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Lender, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, and the Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the capital stock of a Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

Section 11.

Waivers; Amendment.

(a)

No failure or delay of the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver and consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.

(b)

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Lender.

Section 12.

Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Section 13.

Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it at its address set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

 

Section 14.

Survival of Agreement; Severability.

(a)

All covenants, agreements representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans regardless of any investigation made by any of them or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and as long as the Revolving Commitment has not been terminated.

(b)

In the event one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 15.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract (subject to Section 10), and shall become effective as provided in Section 10. Delivery of a PDF of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 16.

Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.4 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

Section 17.

Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Duval County, Florida, or any Florida State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Duval County, Florida, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Duval County, Florida State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)

Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in the Circuit Court of Duval County, Florida or any other appropriate Florida State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

 

Section 18.

Arbitration.

(a)

Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b)

Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Florida selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c)

No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

 

 

(d)

Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Florida or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Florida, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Florida and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e)

Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f)

Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g)

Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h)

Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

 

 

Section 19.

Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries that were not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Lender and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 20.

Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Person shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 20 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

1.

Reference is made to the 2015 Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Lender. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2.

The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries that were not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter into the Guarantee Agreement as a Guarantor. Section 19 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and as consideration for Loans previously made.

Accordingly, the Lender and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

Section 1.

In accordance with Section 19 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to a Guarantor in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2.

The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

Section 3.

This Supplement may be executed in counterparts each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Lender shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the Lender. Delivery of a PDF version of an executed signature page to this Supplement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

 

 

Section 4.

Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 5.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Section 6.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision hereof in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.

All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 13 of the Guarantee Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower.

Section 8.

The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Lender for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Lender.

EXHIBIT D

[FORM OF]
INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT dated as of January 30, 2015, among FRP HOLDINGS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”), each Subsidiary listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Guarantors”), and WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., a national banking association (the “Lender”).

Reference is made to (a) the 2015 Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2015 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower and the Lender and (b) the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement dated as of January 30, 2015, among the Guarantors and the Lender (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guarantee Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender has agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The Guarantors have guaranteed such Loans and the other Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement. The obligation of the Lenders to make Loans is conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantors of an agreement in the form hereof.

Accordingly, the Borrower, each Guarantor and the Lender agree as follows:

Section 1.

Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.

Section 2.

Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 3) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 1, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 12, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 1 to the extent of such payment.

 

 

Section 3.

Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 1 and 2 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 4.

Termination. This Agreement shall survive and be in full force and effect so long as any Obligation is outstanding and has not been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and so long as any of the Revolving Commitment under the Credit Agreement has not been terminated, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise.

Section 5.

Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Section 6.

No Waiver; Amendment.

(a)

No failure on the part of the Lender or any Guarantor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Lender or any Guarantor preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. None of the Lender and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have waived any rights hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by such parties.

(b)

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lender.

Section 7.

Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Guarantee Agreement and addressed as specified therein.

Section 8.

Binding Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) without the prior written consent of the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time any Guarantor is released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement in accordance with such Guarantee Agreement and the Credit Agreement, such Guarantor will cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement.

 

 

Section 9.

Survival of Agreement; Severability.

(a)

All covenants and agreements made by the Borrower and each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and each Guarantor and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loans or any other fee or amount payable under the Credit Agreement or this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents is outstanding and unpaid and as long as the Revolving Commitment has not been terminated.

(b)

In case one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts) each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Guarantor when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Lender. Delivery of a PDF copy of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.

Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.4 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

Section 12.

Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower that were not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter into the Guarantee Agreement as Guarantor. Upon the execution and delivery, after the date hereof, by the Lender and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor hereunder. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first appearing above.

The Borrower and the Guarantors have entered into the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement in order to induce the Lender to make Loans. Pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries that were not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter into the Guarantee Agreement as a Guarantor. Section 12 of the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.

The Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2.

The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

 

 

Section 3.

This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts) each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Lender shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signature of the New Guarantor and the Lender. Delivery of a PDF copy of an executed signature page to this Supplement by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

Section 6.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, neither party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Annex I

Captive Investment Policy Statement

The primary criteria for investments shall be safety of principal and liquidity. Return on investment shall not take precedence over safety of principal.

1. Investments may be either in fixed or floating rate instruments denominated in U. S. dollars.

2. Investments can include U.S. Treasury Securities, U.S Government Agency securities, U.S. Agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and U.S. Corporate Bonds. Investments in certificates of deposit and time deposits in U.S. banks may also be made.

3. Investments will be made in various issuers to ensure proper diversification.

4. The fixed income portfolio shall be laddered to meet the cash flow needs of the program. Generally ten to twenty percent of the portfolio will be invested in securities having maturities of two years or less from the date of purchase. For this purpose, floating rate certificates of deposit and notes, irrespective of final maturity, are deemed to be mature on the next coupon-reset date. The portfolio will generally invest in securities that mature in ten years or less from the date of purchase.

5. In order for the securities of an issuer to qualify for investment of assets, they must have either a Moody’s, S&P or Fitch rating of “A-” or better or such issues must be unconditionally guaranteed by a company or entity with a Moody’s, S&P or Fitch rating of “A-” or better or, in the event of an issue not being subject to such a guarantee or rating, the equivalent as determined by the investment manager.

National Interstate Insurance retains the final right of approval for all investment transactions
