THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
$30,500,000 |
|
Originally executed January 11, 2002 |
|
|
Amended and Restated on June 30, 2003 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION (formerly known as APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (the “Lender”):
(a) prior to or on the Revolving Credit Termination Date the principal amount of Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($30,500,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 11, 2002, as amended (as further amended, restated, modified or supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, certain lenders which are or may become parties to the Credit Agreement, and the Lender, as agent for itself and the other lenders; and
(b) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from and after the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement at the times and at the rates provided in the Credit Agreement.
This Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (this “Note”) evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. This Note amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note which was previously executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender on January 11, 2002 in connection with the Credit Agreement and which has been further amended and restated prior to the date hereof (the “Existing Revolving Note”). The amendment and restatement of such Existing Revolving Note evidenced hereby is pursuant to an increase in the stated principal amount of the Existing Revolving Note. It is the intent of the parties hereto that the Existing Revolving Note, as restated hereby, shall re-evidence the Revolving Loans under the Credit Agreement and is in no way intended to constitute repayment or a novation of any of the Lender Indebtedness which is evidenced by the Credit Agreement or such Existing Revolving Note or any of the other Loan Documents executed in connection therewith. The Lender and any holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All capitalized terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the making of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of
8
principal of this Note, an appropriate notation on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the Lender with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due.
The Borrower has the right in certain circumstances and the obligation under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
If any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may become or be declared due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Lender or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.
The Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or persons primarily or secondarily liable.
THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND THE CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 8.2 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Third Amended and Restated Revolving Note to be signed in its corporate name by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year first above written.
