Upon the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make revolving Advances to Borrower from time to time in amounts not to exceed the maximum amount of the Commitment. Within such limits and during such period and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Advances hereunder at any time prior to the Maturity Date.
     (b) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender agrees (1) to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until (i) with regard to Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Commitment, the Maturity Date, and (ii) with regard to Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; provided that Lender shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such issuance, (x) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Exposure with regard to Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Commitment would exceed the amount available under the Revolving Commitment, or (y) the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure with regard to Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Commitment would exceed the amount available under the Letter of Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All amounts Lender is required to advance under any Letter of Credit issued under the Revolving Commitment shall be deemed an Advance hereunder and shall bear interest as provided herein. Borrower shall be liable for all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and court costs, relating to such Letter of Credit, or any action related to such Letter of Credit, incurred by Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.2. Borrowing Procedure.
     (a) Amounts; Method of Borrowing. Each Advance by Borrower hereunder shall be (i) in the case of a borrowing consisting of a LIBOR Rate Portion, in an aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; or (ii) in the case of a borrowing consisting of a Base Rate Portion, in an aggregate amount of not less than $250,000.

Delivery of any Notice of Borrowing to Lender shall constitute a representation by Borrower that the representations and warranties made by Borrower under the Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date of delivery of such Notice of Borrowing.
     (b) Method of Issuing Letters of Credit. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender the customary letter of credit application and agreement in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (a “LOC Application”). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Letter of Credit Issuer from modifying the form of the LOC Application in effect from time to time in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit. In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of the LOC Application and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. In no event shall a Letter of Credit have an expiration date which is later than the earlier of (i) with regard to Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Commitment, (1) the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (2) one year after its issuance, unless Borrower shall have deposited with Lender cash collateral satisfactory to Lender in an aggregate amount equal to the Letter of Credit

     (c) Obligation to Issue Letters of Credit. The Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Lender in good faith deems material to it; or
     (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more written policies of the Lender, which are applied indiscriminately to all borrowers of Lender.

     (i) Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit issued under the Letter of Credit Commitment prior to the issuance of any such Letter of Credit.
     (ii) If, as of the Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit issued under the Revolving Commitment may for any reason remain issued and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Exposure (in an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Exposure determined by Lender as of the date of the Maturity Date).
     (iii) For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, as collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

ARTICLE III
INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS
     Section 3.1. Interest Rate Determination. The Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, until maturity, at a rate per annum (calculated based on a year of 360 days in each case for the actual days elapsed) as follows:
     (a) The principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Portion, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, and with respect to any Base Rate Portion, the Base Rate, as the case may be, with respect thereto or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate, from the day of Advance to, but not including, (y) with respect to any Base Rate Portion, the Maturity Date and (z) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Portion, the Expiration Date of the Rate Period then in effect with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall the principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at an annual rate equal less than three and one-quarter of one percent (3.25%).
     (b) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may at any time prior to the applicable Maturity Date (y) change the interest rates to apply to all or any portion of the Loan or (z) elect to continue all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of any LIBOR Rate Portion as portions of such Type by giving Lender an irrevocable written notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Notice of Rate Change/Continuation”) specifying (i) the date on which the applicable LIBOR Rate Portion or Base Rate Portion was made; (ii) the interest rate then applicable to such LIBOR Rate Portion or Base Rate Portion; (iii) with respect to any LIBOR Rate Portions, the Rate Period then applicable to each such LIBOR Rate Portion; (iv) the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Portion to remain outstanding; and (v) the requested effective date of the rate change or continuation (the “Conversion/Continuation Date”). In the case of the conversion of all or any part of any Base Rate Portion into a LIBOR Rate Portion or the continuation of any LIBOR Rate Portion, (x) such notice must be received by Lender at least three (3) full Business Days prior to the Conversion/Continuation Date, and otherwise at least one (1) full Business Day prior thereto, and (y) in either case such LIBOR Rate Portion shall be in an aggregate principal amount greater than or equal to $1,000,000 or in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each rate so specified shall become effective on the Conversion/Continuation Date and remain in effect until the expiration of the applicable Rate Period specified in such Notice of Rate Change/Continuation. Each Notice of Rate Change/Continuation shall be irrevocable.
     (c) If Borrower shall fail to choose, as provided in subsection (b) above, the rate of interest to become effective with respect to any LIBOR Rate Portions upon the Expiration Date of the Rate Period with respect thereto, such portion of the Loan shall
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT — TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Page 16


 

     bear interest at the Base Rate on and after such Expiration Date until Borrower shall have so chosen a different rate.
     (d) Nothing contained herein shall authorize Borrower (i) to convert any Base Rate Portion into or continue any LIBOR Rate Portion as a LIBOR Rate Portion unless the Expiration Date of the Rate Period for the new LIBOR Rate Portion occurs on or before the Maturity Date, (ii) to continue or change the interest rates applicable to any LIBOR Rate Portions prior to the Expiration Date of the Rate Period with respect thereto, or (iii) to convert any Base Rate Portion into a LIBOR Rate Portion or to continue any LIBOR Rate Portion if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     (e) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary (other than Section 11.12), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 3% above the Base Rate or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate, which interest shall be due and payable on demand.
     Section 3.2. Additional Interest Rate Provisions.
     (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the introduction of or any change in any Governmental Regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Portion or to convert any Base Rate Portion into, or to continue, any LIBOR Rate Portion hereunder, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. With respect to any LIBOR Rate Portion which is outstanding when Lender so notifies Borrower, upon such date as shall be specified in such notice, the Rate Period shall end and the lesser of (i) the Base Rate or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate shall commence to apply in lieu of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in respect of such portion of the Loan. At least five (5) Business Days after such specified date, Borrower shall pay to Lender (y) accrued and unpaid interest on each affected LIBOR Rate Portion at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate in effect at the time of such notice to but not including such specified date plus (z) such amount or amounts (to the extent that such amount or amounts would not be usurious under applicable Governmental Regulation) as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any costs and losses incurred by it, but otherwise without penalty. If notice has been given by Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, then, unless and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, such Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall not again apply to any portion of the Loan and the obligation of Lender to convert any portion of the Loan into, or to continue, any LIBOR Rate Portion as, a LIBOR Rate Portion shall be suspended.
     (b) Subject to Section 11.12 hereof, Borrower will indemnify Lender against, and reimburse Lender on demand for, any loss, cost or expense incurred or sustained by Lender (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Portion to Borrower ) as a result of (i) any Additional Costs incurred by Lender; (ii) any payment, prepayment or repayment (whether authorized or
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT — TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Page 17


 

required hereunder or otherwise) of all or a portion of any LIBOR Rate Portion on a day other than the last day of a Rate Period for such LIBOR Rate Portion; (iii) any payment or prepayment (whether required hereunder or otherwise) of any LIBOR Rate Portion made after the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Rate Change/Continuation, as the case may be, but before the applicable Borrowing Date or a Conversion/Continuation Date, as the case may be, if such payment or prepayment prevents the proposed borrowing from becoming fully effective; or (iv) after receipt by Lender of a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Rate Change/Continuation, as the case may be, the failure of any LIBOR Rate Portion to be made or effected by Lender due to any condition precedent to a borrowing not being satisfied by Borrower or due to any other action or inaction of Borrower.
     (c) The agreements contained in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Note and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Rate Period for such LIBOR Rate Portion, specifying the principal amount thereof to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the account of Borrower to be charged if such prepayment is to be so effected. Notice of such prepayment having been given, the principal amount of the Loan specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date.

     Section 4.6. Increased Costs.
     (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, but subject to Section 11.12, if after the date of this Agreement the introduction of or change in any applicable Governmental Regulation or any change in any Governmental Regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender (or any lending office of Lender) with any applicable guideline or request from any central bank or Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of a Governmental Regulation) either (i) shall impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against loans made or commitments entered into by Lender, or (ii) shall impose on Lender any other conditions affecting this Agreement; and the result of any of the foregoing affects or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) then, subject to Section 11.12 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the compensation payable under this Section 4.6 (to the extent, if any, constituting interest under applicable laws) together with all amounts constituting interest under applicable laws and payable in connection with this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.
     (b) Lender will notify Borrower of any event which will entitle Lender to compensation pursuant to subsection (a) above.

     (c) Subject to the last sentence of Section 4.6(b), failure on the part of Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to the Loan shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to the Loan.
     Section 4.7. Taxes.

To the extent any payments on the Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any debtor relief Law, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect, and Lender’s rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Undersigned”), promises to pay to the order of BANK OF TEXAS, N.A., a national banking association, and any successors and assigns (the “Payee”), at 5956 Sherry Lane, Suite 1100, Dallas, Texas 75225, the principal sum of Twenty Five Million and no/100 Dollars ($25,000,000) (or the unpaid balance of all principal advanced under this Note, if that amount is less) together with interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note from day to day outstanding, as hereinafter provided. All capitalized terms herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the same definitions as those found in that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and between the Undersigned and Payee dated of even date herewith, as amended on the date hereof (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). This Note amends and restates in its entirety that certain Promissory Note (Letter of Credit Facility) (the “Existing Note”) dated October 20, 2008, executed by the Undersigned, payable to Bank of Texas, N.A. in the principal amount of $25,000,000.00. All Liens securing the Existing Note are renewed and continued (and are not extinguished hereby) and secure this Note.
     This Note shall evidence the Undersigned’s indebtedness to Payee for Payee’s portion of the Revolving Commitment, and advances made thereunder.
     The Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, until maturity, at the interest rates as provided in, and pursuant to the terms of, the Credit Agreement.
     Interest and principal on this Note shall be due and payable as provided in the Credit Agreement. The final principal payment and any unpaid interest owing hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The principal balance hereof may be, and shall be required to be, prepaid as provided in the Credit Agreement.
     This Note is a revolving promissory note; therefore, amounts advanced hereunder may be repaid, readvanced and repaid pursuant to the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement.
     At the option of the holder of this Note the entire principal balance and accrued interest owing hereon shall become due and payable without further demand upon the occurrence at any time of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
     Except as otherwise set forth in this Note or the Credit Agreement, the Undersigned waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all other notice of any

kind, filing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security herefor, and consents to all extensions which from time to time may be granted by the holder hereof and to all partial payments hereon, whether before or after maturity.
     If this Note is not paid when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration or otherwise, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy, probate or other judicial or administrative proceeding, whether before or after maturity, the Undersigned agrees to pay all reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the holder hereof.
     Any provisions herein, or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder hereof shall in no event charge or be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received hereunder be credited, so that the holder hereof shall be paid, as interest, a sum greater than the maximum permitted by applicable law to be charged to the person, partnership, firm or corporation primarily obligated to pay this Note. If any construction of this Note, or any and all other papers, agreements or commitments, indicates a different right given to the holder hereof to ask for, demand or receive any larger sum as interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording, which this clause shall override and control; it being the intention of the parties that this Note and all other instruments executed in connection herewith shall in all things comply with applicable law, and proper adjustment shall automatically be made accordingly. In the event the holder hereof ever receives, collects or applies as interest, any sum in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, in the inverse order of maturity, and not to interest, and if this Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to the Undersigned. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum permitted by applicable law, the Undersigned and the holder hereof shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (i) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Note (including any renewals or extensions) so that the interest rate is uniform throughout the entire term of this Note and does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control all existing and future agreements between the Undersigned and the holder hereof.
     This Note is executed and delivered in the State of Texas and intended to be performed in Dallas County, Texas, and except to the extent that the laws of the United States of America may pre-empt or govern the terms hereof, this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas; and the Undersigned irrevocably agrees that in the event of any dispute involving this Note or any other instruments executed in connection herewith, venue for such dispute shall lie in any court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas.
     This Note and all the covenants, promises and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, devisees, legal and personal representatives, successors and assigns of the holder hereof and the Undersigned.
