Amendment to Loan Documents

 

 

THIS AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS (this “Amendment”) is made as of August 30, 2019 by and between WESBANCO, INC. (the “Borrower”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.The Borrower or another obligor has executed and delivered to the Bank (or a predecessor which is now known by the Bank’s name as set forth above), one or more promissory notes, letter agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which are more fully described on attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment (collectively as amended from time to time, the “Loan Documents”) which evidence or secure some or all of the indebtedness and other obligations of the Borrower to the Bank for one or more loans or other extensions of credit (as used herein, collectively, together with the Obligations, if and as defined in the Loan Documents, the “Obligations”).  Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents.  

 

B.The Borrower and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A.  Any and all references to any Loan Document in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents.  To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.

 

2.The Borrower hereby certifies that: (a) all of its representations and warranties in the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment: (i) true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, (ii) ratified and confirmed without condition as if made anew, and (iii) incorporated into this Amendment by reference, (b) no Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.  The Borrower confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.  

 

3.The Borrower hereby confirms that any collateral for the Obligations, including liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all of the Borrower’s existing and future Obligations to the Bank, as modified by this Amendment.

 

 

Form 17A – Multistate  Rev. 05/19

4.As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions (if any) specified in Exhibit A.

 

5.To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower waives and releases and forever discharges the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have against the Bank or any of them arising out of or relating to the Obligations.  The Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees harmless from any loss, damage, judgment, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) suffered by or rendered against the Bank or any of them on account of any claims arising out of or relating to the Obligations.  The Borrower further states that it has carefully read the foregoing release and indemnity, knows the contents thereof and grants the same as its own free act and deed.

 

6.This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument.   Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.  Upon written request by the other party (which may be made by electronic mail), any party so executing this Amendment by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.  

 

7.Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the other Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees that this Amendment, the Note, the other Loan Documents, any other amendments thereto and any other information, notice, signature card, agreement or authorization related thereto (each, a “Communication”) may, at the Bank’s option, be in the form of an electronic record.  Any Communication may, at the Bank’s option, be signed or executed using electronic signatures.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Bank of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format) for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  The Borrower and the Bank acknowledge and agree that the methods for delivering Communications, including notices, under the Loan Documents include electronic transmittal to any electronic address provided by either party to the other party from time to time.  

 

8.The Bank may modify this Amendment for the purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content, without the need for a written amendment, provided that the Bank shall send a copy of any such modification to the Borrower (which notice may be given by electronic mail).

 

9.This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

 

10.This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made in the State where the Bank’s office indicated in the Loan Documents is located.  This Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State where the Bank’s office indicated in the Loan Documents is located, excluding its conflict of laws rules, including without limitation the Electronic Transactions Act (or equivalent) in such State (or, to the extent controlling, the laws of the United States of America, including without limitation the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act).

 

11.Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged, are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms, and are hereby ratified and confirmed.  Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any default or Event of Default under any Loan Document, or a waiver or release of any of the Bank’s rights and remedies (all of which are hereby reserved).  The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the confession of

WESBANCO, INC.

 

A.

The “Loan Documents” that are the subject of this Amendment include the following (as each of such documents has been amended, modified or otherwise supplemented previously):

 

1.Committed Line of Credit Note dated September 5, 2014 in the principal amount of $25,000,000.00 executed and delivered to the Bank by the Borrower (the “Existing Note”).

 

2.Letter Agreement dated September 5, 2014 between the Borrower and the Bank (the “Letter Agreement”).

 

3.Amendment to Loan Documents dated as August 25, 2016 between the Borrower and the Bank.

 

4.All other documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Documents listed in this Section A.

 

B.The Loan Documents are amended as follows:

 

1.Section 1 of the Letter Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“1.Facility and Use of Proceeds.This is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrower may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will make advances to the Borrower from time to time until the Expiration Date, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $30,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”).  The “Expiration Date” shall have the meaning set forth in the note evidencing the Line of Credit.  Advances under the Line of Credit will be used for general business purposes of the Borrower.  The Borrower may elect once at its option (the “Conversion Option”), by providing the Bank irrevocable written notice at least five (5) days prior to the Expiration Date (such date on which the Borrower gives such notice under the Conversion Option is referred to as the “Conversion Date”), to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount under the Line of Credit (such outstanding principal amount to be converted, is referred to as the “Conversion Amount”) into a term loan (the “Term Loan” and collectively with the Line of Credit, the “Loan”); provided that such Term Loan shall (a) constitute a “Loan” hereunder and shall be evidenced by the Note (as defined below, as the same may be amended, restated, modified or replaced from time to time), (b) in a principal amount equal to at least $1,000,000 (or in multiple integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) and (c) be repaid in consecutive monthly installments over two (2) years following the Conversion Date based on a four (4) year amortization with a balloon payment of all outstanding principal and interest on the second anniversary of the Conversion Date, as set forth in the Note.  In the event the Borrower exercises the Conversion Option, the maximum principal amount available to be borrowed under the Line of Credit will be permanently reduced by the Conversion Amount.  For avoidance of doubt, as principal is repaid on the Term Loan it may not be re-borrowed.  The maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding on the Loan shall not exceed $30,000,000 at any time.”

 

2.Restated Note.  Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank an Amended and Restated Committed Line of Credit Note (the “Restated Note”) evidencing the Line of Credit in the principal amount of $30,000,000.00, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank.  Upon receipt by the Bank of the Restated Note, the Existing Note shall be canceled; all accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Note shall thereafter be evidenced by the Restated Note; and all references to the “Note” evidencing the Line of Credit in any documents relating

thereto shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Restated Note.  Without duplication, the Restated Note shall not constitute a novation and shall in no way extinguish the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to repay all indebtedness, including accrued and unpaid interest, evidenced by the Existing Note.

 

3.The following new subsection (n) is hereby added to Section 6 of the Representations and Warranties to the Letter Agreement at the end thereof to read as follows:

4.The following new subsection (h) is hereby added to Section 5 of the Covenants to the Letter Agreement at the end thereof to read as follows:

 

“(h)Certification of Beneficial Owners and Other Additional Information.  The Borrower agrees that until all Obligations have been paid in full and any commitments of the Bank to the Borrower have been terminated, the Borrower will provide: (i) such information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Bank from time to time for purposes of compliance by the Bank with applicable laws (including without limitation the USA Patriot Act and other “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any policy or procedure implemented by the Bank to comply therewith and (ii) if the Borrower is or was required to deliver a Certification of Beneficial Owners to the Bank, (a) confirmation of the accuracy of the information set forth in the most recent Certification of Beneficial Owners provided to the Bank, as and when requested by the Bank; and (b) a new Certification of Beneficial Owners in form and substance acceptable to the Bank when the individual(s) identified as a controlling party and/or a direct or indirect individual owner on the most recent Certification of Beneficial Owners provided to the Bank have changed.”
