This change in Terms Agreement modifies Note dated June 28, 2002, between PRA Funding, LLC (Borrower) and RBC Centura Bank (Lender).
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.
Extend maturity date to September 28 2004.
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 interest on the 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 28, 2004. In addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date, beginning October 1, 2003, with all subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any unpaid collection costs; and then to any late charges. 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 independent index which is the LIBOR Base Rate (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each. The “LIBOR Base Rate: is the London Interbank Offer Rate for U.S. dollars for a term of one month which appears on the Telerato Page 3750, Bloomberg Professional screen BBAM (or any generally 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. The rate will initially become effective on the date of the Note as shown on the face of the Note. Thereafter, the rate will change and a new rate will become effective on each succeeding banking day. If for any reason, the London Interbank Offer 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 market on short-term money in U.S. dollars for an amount substantially equivalent to the principal amount due under this Note, as determined 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 determination of each interest rate shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The index currently is 1.115% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Note will be a rate of 3.000 percentage points over the Index, resulting in an initial rate of 4.115% 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 interest 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 allowable by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT. 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 instruments 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.
INTEREST 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.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event or Default under this Agreement:
| Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Agreement: | |
| Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower. | |
| Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially affect any of Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to perform Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents. | |
| False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter. | |
| Death or Insolvency. The death of Borrower or the dissolution or termination of Borrower’s existence as a going business, or a trustee or receiver is appointed for Borrower or for all or a substantial portion of the assets of Borrower, or Borrower makes a general assignment for the benefit of Borrower’s creditors, or Borrower files for bankruptcy, or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Borrower and such involuntary petition remains undismissed for sixty (60) days. | |
| Creditor of Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. 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. | |
| Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability, under any Guaranty of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor’s estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default. | |
| Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired. | |
| Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure. | |
| Cure Provisions. If any default, other than a default in payments is curable and if Borrower has not been given a notice of a breach of the same provision of this Agreement within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be cured (and no event of default will have occurred) if Borrower, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default: (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiates stops which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical. |
LENDER’S RIGHTS. Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance on this Agreement and all accrued unpaid interest, together with all other applicable fees, costs and charges, if any, immediately due and payable, and then Borrower will pay that amount.
| (Continued) | Page 2 |
ATTORNEYS’ FEES; EXPENSES. Subject to any limits under applicable law, upon default, Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and all of Lender’s other collection expenses, whether or not there is a lawsuit, including without limitation legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with federal law and the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This Agreement has been accepted by Lender in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
CHOICE OF VENUE. If there is a lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender’s request to submit to the jurisdiction of the applicable courts for the City of Norfolk, Commonwealth of Virginia.
DISHONORED ITEM FEE. Borrower will pay a fee to Lender of $25.00. If Borrower makes a payment of Borrower’s loan and the check or preauthorized charge with which Borrower pays is later dishonored.
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 authorizes 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 specifically 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 requests be confirmed 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. Lender will have no obligation to advance funds under this Agreement if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement made in connection with the signing of the Agreement; (B) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s guarantee of this Agreement or any other loan with Lender; (D) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Agreement for purposes other than those authorized by Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
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 extension, 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 of Agreement.
SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to any limitations stated in this Agreement on transfer 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 Borrower, Lender, without notice to Borrower, may deal with Borrower’s successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension 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 of 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, fall to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.
