This Change in Terms Agreement modifies Note dated June 28, 2002, between PRF Funding, LLC (Borrower) and RBC Centura Bank (Lender).
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
Extend Maturity date to September 30, 2003
The Bank hereby agrees to ad Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. as Guarantor to the above referenced Note.
The Bank hereby agrees to release PRA II, LLC as Guarantor from any and all responsibilities and liabilities from the above referenced Note.
PROMISE TO PAY. PRA Funding, LLC (“Borrower”) promises to pay to RBC CENTURA BANK (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with the interest unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. The interest rate will not increase above 25.000%.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on September 30, 2003. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning July 1, 2003, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Interest on this Agreement is computed on a 365/360 simple interest basis: that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Agreement is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an index which is the LIBOR Base Rate (the “Index”). The “LIBOR Base Rate” is the London Interbank Offer Rate for U.S. Dollars for a term of one month which appears on Telerate Page 3750, Bloomberg Professional screen BBAM (or any enerally recognized successor method or means of publication) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective. This index for the first month or part thereof will initially become effective on the date of the Note as shown on the rate hereof. Thereafter, the rate will change and a new rate will become effective on the first calander day of each succeeding month. If for any reason, the London Interbank Office Rate is not available, the LIBOR Base Rate shall mean the rate per annum which banks charge each other in a market comparable to England’s Eurodollar marker on short-term money in U.S. Dollars for an amount substantially equivalent to the principal amount due under this Note, as detemined at 11:00 a.m. London time, two (2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate will become effective, as determined in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank’s determination of such interest rate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Ledner will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each first calendar day of each succeeding month. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 1.320% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be at a rate of 3.000 percentage points over the index, resulting in an initial rate of 4.320% per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the variable interest rate or rates provided for in the Note will be subject to the following maximum rate. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interst rate on the Note be more than (except for any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 25.000% per annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of default), except as otherwise required by law. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: RBC CENTURA BANK, Twin Oaks, Lending Service Center, 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xx. Xxx# 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.
INTERERST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this Agreement to 18.000% per annum. The interest rate will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute. | |

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any XXX or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorized Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the debt against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.
COLLATERAL. Collateral securing other loans with Lender may also secure this loan. To the extent collateral previously has been given to Lender by any person which may secure this Indebtedness, whether directly or indirectly, it is specificially agreed that, to the extent prohibited by law, all such collateral consisting of household goods will not secure this Indebtedness. In addition, if any collateral requires the giving of a right of rescission under Truth in Lending for this Indebtedness, such collateral also will not secure this Indebtedness unless and until all required notices of that right have been given.
LINE OF CREDIT. This Agreement evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Agreement, as well as directions for payment from Borrower’s accounts, may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized person. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requestes be confrimed in writing. Borrower agrees to be liable for all sums either: (A) advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person or (B) credited to any of Borrower’s accounts with Lender. The unpaid principal balance owing on this Agreement at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this Agreement or by Lender’s internal records, including daily computer print-outs.

CONTINUING VALIDITY. Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender’s right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extention, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions.
DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL AMOUNT. The Principal Amount stated above refers to the principal amount of this loan, and does not reflect the outstanding principal balance as of the date of this Change in Terms Agreement.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to any limitations stated in the Agreement on tranfer of Borrower’s interest, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person other than the Borrower, Lender, without notice to Borrower, may deal with Borrower’s successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of forberance or extention without releasing Borrower from the obligations of this Agreement or liability under the Indebtedness.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Agreement, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, and notice or dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Agreement, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Agreement, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed neccesary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.
