Background Recitals
|
A. |
Borrower has requested that Lender make the Loan to Borrower. |
|
B. |
Lender has agreed, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, to make the Loan to Borrower. |
|
C. |
Borrower and Lender desire to enter into this Agreement to specify the terms and conditions of the Loan. |
Borrower and Lender (1) acknowledge the receipt and sufficiency of the above-referenced consideration, and, (2) therefore, agree as follows:
. Each capitalized term used in the Loan Documents has the meaning set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement.
1.2.Terms Generally; References and Titles
. References in this Agreement to "Articles," "Sections," "Exhibits" or "Schedules" will be to the Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. All Exhibits and Schedules attached to this Agreement are incorporated in, and are a part of, this Agreement for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. Any term defined in this Agreement may be used in the singular or plural. Words of any gender include all other genders. The terms "include," "includes," and "including" are followed by "without limitation". Except as otherwise specified or limited in this Agreement, a reference to any Person includes the successors and assigns of the Person. Unless otherwise specified all references "from" or "through" any date mean "from and including" or "through and including" the date. References to any statute or act include all related current regulations and all amendments and any successor statutes, acts and regulations. References to any statute or act, without additional reference, refer to federal statutes and acts of the United States. References to any agreement, instrument or document includes all schedules, exhibits, annexes and other attachments to the agreement, instrument or document.
. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower, from time to time up to and including the Maturity Date, in a total amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Principal Amount. The Loan is evidenced by the Note.
2.2.Borrowing. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Loan request Advances, partially or wholly repay amounts outstanding under the Loan, and reborrow the same, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Any request for Advance must be received by Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (Phoenix time) on the Business Day prior to the Business Day that funding is requested. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance under the Loan exceeds the Maximum Principal Amount, Borrower will immediately pay Lender such excess. No request for an Advance will be deemed received until Lender acknowledges the request. Each Authorized Person is authorized by Borrower to request Advances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances made to Borrower will be repaid by Borrower even if the Person requesting the Advance on behalf of Borrower lacks authorization.
(i).
(i)Subject to Subsection 2.1(a)(ii) below, the Principal Amount and Additional Costs bear interest at the LIBO Rate.
(ii)All interest accruing under the Loan Documents will be calculated on the basis
1
of a 360-day year applied to the actual number of days in each month. Borrower shall make each payment which it owes under the Loan Documents on or before the Payment Deadline in immediately available Dollars without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction. If Lender receives any payment after the Payment Deadline, then the payment will be credited on the next following Business Day.
(iii)Immediately after Lender gives a Suspension Notice to Borrower, Lender's obligation to make or maintain the Loan at the LIBO Rate will be suspended and all interest payable at the LIBO Rate will automatically convert to a rate of interest determined by Lender based on an index and spread that is reasonably equivalent to the most recent, reliable the LIBO Rate, as determined in good faith by Lender, prior to the date of the Suspension Notice. Lender may only issue a Suspension Notice to Borrower under (C) of the definition of Suspension Notice if Lender issues a similar notice to its other borrowers with loans of similar maturities which are tied to a LIBOR Index and for which Lender has the right to issue such a Suspension Notice. If circumstances further change and nullify the basis on which the Suspension Notice was given, then Lender will advise Borrower of the change and thereafter the Principal Amount will automatically bear interest at the LIBO Rate.
.
(i)Any time during an Event of Default Period (and including any period prior to and after any judgment against Borrower concerning the Loan, the Principal Amount or Additional Costs), the Principal Amount, any Additional Costs, and all past due installments of interest will, at Lender's option, bear interest at the Default Rate.
(ii)In addition to all other sums due under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand the Late Charge upon all Past Due Indebtedness. The Late Charge is not a penalty, but is intended to compensate Lender for the losses Lender incurs because of the delinquent payment. Borrower agrees that, considering all of the circumstances existing on the date this Agreement is executed, the Late Charge represents a reasonable estimate of the losses Lender will incur because of any late payment, and that proof of Lender's actual losses will be costly, inconvenient, impracticable and extremely difficult to fix. Lender does not waive the Event of Default resulting from a past due payment because Lender accepts a Late Charge.
.
(i)Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) interest on the Principal Amount, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay in full to Lender (1) the Principal Amount along with all unpaid, accrued interest, and (2) all other Indebtedness.
(ii)Except during an Event of Default Period, Lender will apply all Loan payments: (A) first, to any unpaid Claims; (B) second, to any unpaid Additional Costs; (C) third, to accrued but unpaid interest due under the Loan Documents; (D) fourth, to all other unpaid sums due under the Loan Documents, except for the Principal Amount; and (E) last, to the unpaid Principal Amount. During an Event of Default Period, Lender may apply all Loan payments in any order Lender elects in its sole discretion.
(iii)Borrower may not send any payments to Lender with a Paid in Full Xxxx. If Borrower tenders a payment to Lender with a Paid in Full Xxxx, then Lender may accept the payment without losing any of Lender's rights under the Loan Documents, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amounts owed to Lender under the Loan Documents.
. Borrower may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
. All sums Lender pays or expends pursuant to the Loan Documents in excess of the Maximum Principal Amount will be (i) an additional loan to Borrower, (ii) Indebtedness, and (iii) immediately due and payable, upon Lender's written demand to Borrower,
2
together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of Lender's expenditure until Borrower repays the expenditure and interest to Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Lender is not obligated to make any expenditures.
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender all Additional Costs immediately after Lender's demand.
. All of Lender's reasonable determinations under Section 2.1(a) are conclusive, absent manifest error.
. The Loan is secured by the Security Agreement.

6
.
. Lender may file, appear in, or defend any Loan Matter. Lender may employ counsel (including in-house counsel) and incur any expenses, including Attorneys' Fees, in connection with any Loan Matter. If Lender incurs any expense in connection with any Loan Matter, then the expenditure will bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date on which Borrower fully repays the expenditure along with all accrued interest. The expenditure and all accrued interest are Indebtedness. Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender all amounts due under this Subsection upon Lender's demand.
. Subject to any limitations under the Governing Law and the applicable Laws of the State, during any Event of Default Period, Lender may terminate Borrower’s ability to request Advances, declare all Indebtedness in its entirety to be immediately due and payable or exercise any right at law or in equity, or any remedy expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, including foreclosing any liens or security interests;
Lender is not obligated to undertake any remedies under the Loan Documents. However, by exercising any rights under the Loan Documents, Lender does not (unless Lender expressly agrees in writing) become liable to any Person (including Borrower), EVEN IF THE lIABILITY ACTUALLY OR ALLEGEDLY AROSE FROM THE ORDINARY, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY OF LENDER. Lender will only be liable for liabilities if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable judgment that the liability arose from Lender's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Lender's rights under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies Lender may have under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise.
(a). All sums Lender incurs in connection with exercising its rights under the Loan Documents will be (1) additional Indebtedness and will bear interest from the date on which Lender incurs the sum until the date on which the sum is repaid in full at the Default Rate, and (2) secured by the Loan Documents. In addition to Lender's rights under the Loan Documents, Lender will be automatically subrogated to all rights of any Person receiving any sum from Lender.
. Lender may, without impairing its rights under the Loan Documents (a) waive or not enforce any term of the Loan Documents (b) release any part of the Collateral from the lien or security interest of the Loan Documents or (c) release any Person, directly or indirectly, liable for the Indebtedness or any covenant in the Loan Documents, without releasing the liability of any other Person.
6.2.Lender's Action or Inaction
. The liens, security interests or other rights of Lender in any Loan Document will not be impaired by any indulgence, moratorium or release that Lender may grant, including (a) any renewal, extension, increase or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any Indebtedness, (b) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant in respect of the Collateral, or any part thereof or any interest therein, or (c) any release or indulgence granted to any endorser, guarantor or surety of any Indebtedness. If Lender takes additional security, then Lender will not be deemed to have released or impaired Lender's liens, assignments, security interests or other rights in and to the Collateral or under the Loan Documents and Borrower's and any other endorser's, guarantor's or other surety's liability will not be affected, and the rights of any permitted junior lienholder will not be improved, thereby. Lender may resort to any Collateral (or to any other security now existing or hereafter given to secure payment of the Indebtedness) in such order as Lender deems best (in its sole discretion) without waiving any of the rights, benefits, liens or security interests evidenced by the Security Agreement.
. Lender may waive any Event of Default without waiving any other prior or subsequent Event of Default. Lender may remedy any Event of Default without waiving the Event of Default remedied. Lender's failure to exercise (in any period of time) any right, power or remedy after any Event of Default will not be a waiver of (i) any Event of Default or (ii) Lender's right to exercise any power or remedy at
7
a later date. Lender's (a) delay in accelerating or failure to accelerate the Indebtedness during any Event of Default Period, (b) acceptance of a partial or past due payment, or (c) indulgence, from time to time, of Borrower, is not a (1) novation of the Note, (2) reinstatement of the Indebtedness, or (3) waiver of Lender's right to accelerate or thereafter to insist on strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender's single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents will not exhaust the same or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every such right, power or remedy under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised at any time and from time to time. (x) The Loan Documents will not be modified, (y) no waiver under the Loan Documents will be granted, and (z) Lender will not have consented to Borrower's departure from any term of the Loan Documents, unless Lender has executed such a written (A) modification, (B) waiver or (C) consent, and any such modification, waiver or consent is effective only in the specific instance and purpose for which it was given and to the extent specified in writing. Borrower will not be entitled to any additional notice or demand under the Loan Documents, unless specified therein, regardless of whether Lender has given Borrower any notice or made any demand on Borrower which was not expressly required under the terms of the Loan Documents. Lender may accept, on account only, any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on the Indebtedness without in any way affecting the existence of an Event of Default.
. No Person, other than Lender, the Indemnified Parties and Borrower is a beneficiary of the Loan Documents.
6.5.Satisfaction of Condition; Time
. Lender may freely establish to its satisfaction (in its absolute discretion) the existence (or nonexistence) of any fact actually or implicitly required to satisfy any condition of this Agreement. Time is of the essence for the Loan Documents.
6.6.Assignment; Loan Participations
.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Borrower may not assign its rights under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender. Any Borrower assignment without Lender's written consent will (i) be an immediate Event of Default, (ii) relieve Lender from all further obligations under the Loan Documents, and (iii) at Lender's option, be null and void.
(b)Lender may assign, sell or offer to assign or sell interests in the Loan or any portion of the Loan Documents and disseminate to any purchaser, assignee or prospective purchaser or assignee any information Lender has pertaining to the Loan, including credit information on Borrower Parties and any of their respective principals. If Lender makes any assignment or sells any interest in the Loan, then Borrower shall make all modifications, at Lender's or its purchaser's or assignee's expense, to this Agreement as will facilitate Lender's sale or assignment, provided that no modification will materially add to Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.
6.7.Heirs, Successors and Assigns
. The Loan Documents (i) are binding upon Borrower, and its heirs, devisees, representatives, successors and permitted assigns and (ii) inure to the benefit of Lender and the Indemnified Parties, and their respective successors, substitutes and assigns. All references in this Agreement to Borrower, Lender or Indemnified Parties will include all of their respective heirs, devisees, representatives, successors, substitutes and permitted assigns.
6.8.Exercise of Rights and Remedies
. Lender may exercise each right and remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity at any time and from time to time. All of Lender's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity are separate, distinct and cumulative. Lender's exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity will not preclude Lender from later exercising the same right or remedy, or from exercising any other right or remedy under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.
. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the scope or meaning of the sections of this Agreement.
. If there are any inconsistencies between this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then this Agreement will control all inconsistencies, except those inconsistencies necessary to create
8
or preserve a valid lien upon or security interest in the Collateral. The Security Agreement will control all inconsistencies among the Loan Documents concerning the creation, preservation, perfection and foreclosure of all liens upon or security interests in the Collateral.
. The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Lender are in all respects governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the Governing Law (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law).
. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA OVER ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AGREES THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHOD OF SERVICE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND FILED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA MAY BE SENT AND GIVEN AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.18.
. Lender and Borrower intend that the Loan Documents strictly comply with applicable usury law. All interests and other charges, fees, goods, things in action or other sums, things of value and reimbursable costs that Borrower is (or may become) obligated to pay in connection with the Loan, and which constitute "interest" under A.R.S. § 44-1201 et seq., are interest in addition to the LIBO Rate, which Borrower contracts in this written Agreement to pay. Therefore, Lender and Borrower agree that: (i) none of the terms of the Loan Documents create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, or interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; (ii) Borrower will not ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Indebtedness or any other sums due under the Loan Documents at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate; and (iii) this Section controls over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict with this Section. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges on any portion of the Indebtedness. If at any time the interest received for the Indebtedness exceeds the Maximum Rate, then Lender will, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of the excess or credit the amount of the excess against the Principal Amount. Borrower agrees that the Loan is not usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower believes that the Loan is usurious, it shall give Lender (a) notice of the condition and (b) 60 days in which to make an appropriate refund or other adjustment, if necessary, to correct the condition.
. If any term of the Loan Documents is unenforceable or invalid, then those terms will either be (i) removed from the Loan Documents, or (ii) if possible (and acceptable to Lender), reformed by the court finding the term unenforceable or invalid to be a valid and enforceable term which is as similar as legally possible to the invalid or unenforceable term. All remaining portions of the Loan Documents will remain enforceable and valid.
. The Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signers executed the same instrument. All counterparts of each Loan Document must be construed together and will constitute one instrument.
. If more than one Person is included in the definition of "Borrower", then each Person included in the definition of "Borrower" will be jointly and severally liable for Borrower's obligations under this Agreement.
6.17.Modification or Termination
. The Loan Documents may only be amended, modified or terminated by a written instrument executed by Lender and Borrower (who is a party to the Loan Document being amended, modified or terminated). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower agrees that it will be bound by any written amendment or modification of the Loan Documents between Lender and any subsequent owner of the Collateral, with or without notice to Borrower, and Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents will not be impaired because of any such amendment or modification. This Section does not permit Borrower to transfer any of the Collateral.
. Except for notices which are required to be given differently by Applicable Law, any notice or communication required or permitted under the Loan Documents must be made in writing and sent by (a) personal delivery, (b) expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or (c) United States Mail, postage

Any change of address will be effective on the 5th Business Day after notice is given pursuant to the terms of this Section. Any notice or communication sent in accordance with this Section will be deemed to be given (i) at the time of personal delivery, or (ii) if sent by delivery service or mail, as of the date of the first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided in this Section. Borrower consents to Lender recording any telephone communications between Lender and Borrower.
. The Loan Documents may be executed by Facsimile Signature and delivered by electronic means, including a PDF (or other format) attachment to an email or fax. Subject to Applicable Law, any Loan Documents executed by Facsimile Signature will have the same force and effect as a Loan Document containing an original signature and will be binding on all parties to the Loan Documents. Lender may require that any Loan Document with a Facsimile Signature be confirmed by an original signature. However, Lender's failure to request or Borrower's failure to deliver any original signature confirmation will not limit the effectiveness of any Loan Document executed by Facsimile Signature. In this Section, "original signature" means a manually signed document by a natural person, as opposed to an electronic signature, and "Facsimile Signature" means the signature of a natural person produced by mechanical means, printer or stamp.
. Nothing in the Loan Documents is intended to create any partnership, joint venture or association between Borrower and Lender.
. BORROWER AND LENDER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL CONCERNING ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER AND LENDER HAVE BOTH BEEN ADVISED BY COMPETENT COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THIS WAIVER.
6.22.Consent of Lender; Approvals
. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, if Lender's approval, consent or judgment is required under any Loan Document, then Lender may, in its sole discretion, exercise its judgment in granting or denying its approval or consent regardless of the reasonableness of the request or Lender's judgment.
. Lender may image and destroy the executed, original Loan Documents. Borrower waives any right it has, or may have in the future, to claim that the imaged copies of the Loan Documents are not originals or the best evidence of the Loan Documents.
. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the transactions arising in connection with the Loan. The Loan Documents supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan.
10
. Borrower and Lender agree that neither party will be liable to the other party or any other Person for any punitive, exemplary, consequential or other special damages which may actually or allegedly arise from the Loan, the Loan Documents or the Collateral, INCLUDING ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ACTUALLY OR ALLEGEDLY ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY, CONTRIBUTORY, COMPARATIVE OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, OF BORROWER OR LENDER. The foregoing waiver does not limit or otherwise impair the terms of Section 4.1(c) above.
