Ex. A CHAR1\1949859v2 Exhibit A Credit Agreement (as amended) See attached.
CHAR1\1949791v5 CREDIT AGREEMENT This CREDIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of May 12, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), by and among UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“UTI”), UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE OF ARIZONA, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“UTI AZ”, and, individually and collectively with UTI, hereinafter, the “Borrower”), and FIFTH THIRD BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a federally chartered institution (“Lender”). Section 1 Definitions. Certain capitalized terms have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Section 2 Term Loan. 2.1 Term Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, Xxxxxx agrees to make a Loan Advance to Borrower on the Effective Date in a maximum principal amount not to exceed $31,150,000.00 (the “Term Loan” or “Loan”). Xxxxxx’s commitment to make the Term Loan shall expire at 2:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time on the Effective Date. (b) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note in the principal amount of the Term Loan (the “Term Note”) and bearing interest at such rate, and payable upon such terms, as specified in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of this Agreement, and in the Term Note. (c) Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. (d) The proceeds of the Term Loan will be used by Borrower for general working capital of Borrower and for such other business or commercial purposes. (e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, whether herein or in the other Loan Documents, the entire unpaid balance of the Term Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. 2.2 Interest. The Loans and the Notes will automatically bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Tranche Rate, plus the Tranche Rate Adjustment, plus the Applicable Margin. Any adjustment in the applied interest rate resulting from a change in the Tranche Rate, or any Successor Rate utilized by Lender to fund or maintain its funding of all or any portion of the Loan hereunder shall become effective as of the opening of business on the date of each change (or if not a Business Day, the beginning of the next Business Day), provided however, that the first adjustment in the Tranche Rate following the First Amendment Effective Date shall occur on April 1, 2023. Lender shall not be required to notify Borrower of any adjustment in the Tranche Rate; however, Borrower may request a quote of the prevailing Tranche Rate on any Business Day. Interest accruing based on the Tranche Rate or Successor Rate shall be: (i) calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on June 1, 2021. 2.3 Tranche Rate Provisions. (a) [Reserved]. (b) Temporary Replacement of the Tranche Rate and Tenor Replacement. In the event Lender shall determine that: (i) the Tranche Rate is unavailable, unrepresentative, or unreliable, (ii) the Tranche Rate as determined by Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding the Tranche Rate Loans, or (iii) the making or funding of Tranche Rate Loans has become impracticable; then, in any such case, Lender shall promptly provide notice of such determination to Borrower (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error), and each Tranche Rate Loan will automatically become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of Lender to make Tranche Rate Loans shall be suspended until Lender determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, in which event Lender shall so notify Borrower.
CHAR1\1949791v5 At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate), Xxxxxx may remove any tenor of a Tranche Rate that is unavailable, non-representative, or not in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, in Lender’s sole discretion, for Tranche Rate settings; provided however that Lender may reinstate such previously removed tenor for Tranche Rate settings, if Lender determines in its sole discretion that such tenor has become available and representative again. (c) Tranche Rate Replacement. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Rate Management Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.3(c)), but without limiting Section 2.3(b) above, if Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower absent manifest error) that any of the circumstances described in Section 2.3(b)(i)-(iii) has occurred and is unlikely to be temporary or the administrator of the Tranche Rate or a governmental authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over Lender has made a public statement identifying a specific date (the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”) after which the Tranche Rate will no longer be representative or made available or used for determining the interest rate of loans or otherwise cease or no longer be in compliance or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Benchmarks, and there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Xxxxxx, then on a date and time determined by Xxxxxx, but no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, the Tranche Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any other Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Lender determines that the Successor Rate designated in Section 2.3(c)(i) above is not available or administratively feasible, or if any of the circumstances described in Section 2.3(c)(i) with regard to the Tranche Rate has occurred with respect to a Successor Rate then in effect, Lender may replace the Tranche Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) with another alternative benchmark rate and a Spread Adjustment, giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities and any recommendations of a relevant governmental authority, and which Spread Adjustment or method for calculating such Spread Adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion. (iii) If the Successor Rate is based on Daily Simple SOFR, interest shall be due and payable on a monthly basis. (iv) Any such alternative benchmark rate and Spread Adjustment shall constitute a Successor Rate hereunder. Any Successor Rate shall become effective on the date set forth in a written notice provided by Lender to Borrower (such date to be five or more Business Days after the date of such notice), and, for the avoidance of doubt, from and after such date (i) all Tranche Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Successor Rate; and (ii) all references herein and in any other Loan Documents to “Tranche Rate” shall mean and refer to the Successor Rate. (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Successor Rate would be less than the Floor, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (vi) Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, or any other matter related to the Tranche Rate or any Successor Rate, including the selection of such rate, any related Spread Adjustment, or any Conforming Changes, or whether the composition or characteristics of any Successor Rate and Spread Adjustment or Conforming Changes will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the initial Tranche Rate. (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, after the Effective Date, Borrower enters into a Rate Management Agreement with respect to all or part of a Tranche Rate Loan and the floating interest rate under the Rate Management Agreement is Daily Simple SOFR, Lender may replace the Tranche Rate hereunder with Daily Simple SOFR and a Spread Adjustment without the consent
CHAR1\1949791v5 of any other party hereto; provided further that, if subsequent thereto, Lender and Borrower amend such Rate Management Agreement to include, or terminate such Rate Management Agreement and enter into a new Rate Management Agreement with, a floating interest rate thereunder of the original Tranche Rate, then Lender may further replace Daily Simple SOFR hereunder with the original Tranche Rate (and a Spread Adjustment, if applicable) hereunder without the consent of any other party hereto; and, in either such event, (A) such rate shall be a Successor Rate hereunder, and (B) Lender shall provide written notice thereof to Borrower. (d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if any law shall make it unlawful for Lender to make, fund or maintain Tranche Rate Loans, Lender shall promptly give notice of such circumstances to Borrower. In such an event, all outstanding Tranche Rate Loans shall be converted automatically to Successor Rate Loans. (e) Tranche Rate Breakage Fee. Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender an amount equal to any losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss (including interest paid) in connection with the redeployment of funds procured by Lender at the Tranche Rate) that Lender sustains as a result of funding or maintaining any Tranche Rate Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. (f) Increased Costs. If, after the Effective Date, any change in law: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the Tranche Rate pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by Lender, or (ii) shall impose on Lender any other condition affecting its Tranche Rate Loans, any of its notes issued pursuant hereto (if any) or its obligation to make Tranche Rate Loans; and the result of anything described in these clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) Lender of making or maintaining any Tranche Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement or under any of its notes issued pursuant hereto (if any) with respect thereto, then upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay directly to Lender such additional amount as will compensate Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, as long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is nine (9) months prior to the date on which Lender first made demand therefor (except that, if the occurrence giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (g) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, implementation, or administration of the Tranche Rate, including any temporary or permanent replacement for the Tranche Rate, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Lender will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, implementation, or administration of the Tranche Rate, or any temporary or permanent replacement of the Tranche Rate. 2.4 Payments; Late Payments. (a) The principal amount of the Term Note will be payable in eighty-four (84) monthly installments of principal, plus accrued interest, which will be due beginning on June 1, 2021 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter. The eighty-four (84) monthly installments of principal will be in such amounts as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, plus accrued interest, and the eighty-fifth (85th) and final installment will be in the amount of the entire unpaid balance of the Term Loan, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding under the Term Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable on the Termination Date. (b) All payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes will be in lawful money of the United States of America, and, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or instructed by Lender in writing from time to time, Borrower will make all payments required under this Agreement, the Notes and under any of the other Loan Documents in immediately available funds to an account designated by Lender from time to time.
CHAR1\1949791v5 (c) Borrower shall make all payments of principal, interest and all other Obligations no later than 3:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time, on the day such payments are due. For purposes of computing interest and fees as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received by Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time. Payments received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. In the event any payment becomes due and payable on a date which is not a good Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on the next successive Business Day. (d) Xxxxxxxx agrees that, with regard to late payments: (i) Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment fee equal to three percent (3%) of any payment of principal not paid when due (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise), and (ii) any portion of the Obligation not paid when due (whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate; provided that this Section 2.3(d) shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or an agreement by Lender to permit any late payments whatsoever. Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that late payment to Lender of any sums due hereunder or the Notes will cause Lender to incur costs not contemplated hereunder or the other Loan Documents, the exact amount of which will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Borrower and Xxxxxx agree that the late payment fee represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Lender will incur by reason of late payment. (e) “Default Rate” means three percent (3%) in excess of the interest rate otherwise in effect under amounts outstanding under such Note. In no event shall the interest rate accruing under such Note be increased to be in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable state or federal usury laws then in effect. 2.5 Prepayment. (a) Optional. Borrower may prepay any portion of the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty; provided that if Borrower makes any such prepayment in respect of the Term Loan other than on a regularly scheduled payment date, Borrower (a) with such prepayment, shall pay all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid (unless less than all of the principal amount of the Term Note is being prepaid, in which case such interest shall be due and payable on the next scheduled interest payment date), and (b) shall promptly reimburse Lender and hold Lender harmless solely as may be required under the Rate Management Agreement and subject to the terms therein. Lender’s reasonable determination of the amount of such reimbursement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (b) Required. If, pursuant to Sections 4.22, 4.23 or 4.24, Borrower is not in compliance with the requisite Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, Loan to Value, or Debt Service Coverage Ratio requirements on the dates of determination as further set forth in this Agreement and borrower elects to cure, Borrower shall promptly, within the timeframes set forth below in Section 5.1(m), (i) pay down the Term Loan to Lender in immediately available funds in an amount as may be necessary to cure any such breach, or (ii) provide the Resizing Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Borrower has delivered to Lender a Resizing Amount pursuant to Section 5.1(m) hereof, and subsequently provides written confirmation to Lender of compliance with the Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan to Value covenant set forth below in Sections 4.22, 4.23 or 4.24, then so long as no Event of Default then exists as of the date Borrower demonstrates such compliance, Lender will return the Resizing Amount (whether cash or a letter of credit)(along with any interest actually earned on such Resizing Amount collateral) to Borrower. 2.6 One General Obligation. All advances of credit to, or for the benefit of, Borrower under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document constitute one loan, and all of the Obligations constitute one obligation. The Loans and all other advances or extensions of credit to, or for the benefit of, Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and all other Obligations are made on the security of the Mortgage. Section 3 Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Lender the following as of the date hereof:

Section 4 Covenants. Borrower covenants with Lender that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full: 4.1 Compliance with Laws. Borrower shall comply or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations, rulings, orders, injunctions, decrees, conditions or other requirements applicable to or imposed upon Borrower by any law or by any governmental authority, court or agency governing the use and operation of the Property. Reasonable evidence of such compliance shall be submitted to Lender on written request. 4.2 Inspection. Upon reasonable prior written notice, Borrower shall permit inspection of the Property by Xxxxxx and any agent or designee of Lender. In addition, upon reasonable prior written or oral notice, Borrower shall permit Lender and/or its agents and designees access to and the right to inspect, audit and copy all books, records, contracts and other documents and information relating to the Property. All such books, records and accounts of operations relating to the Property shall be kept in accordance with sound accounting practices consistently applied. Borrower shall promptly respond to any inquiry from Lender for information with respect to the Property, provided that Borrower shall only be required to provide such requested information that is prepared by Borrower in the ordinary course of Xxxxxxxx’s business; and provided, however, that Lender shall at all times be entitled to rely upon any statements or representations made by Borrower or any agent thereof. 4.3 Mechanics’ and Similar Liens and Claims Borrower shall not permit any mechanics’, labor, materialmans’ and/or similar lien or stop notice claims to be filed or otherwise asserted against the Property or Lender in respect of the Property, or against any funds due any contractor or subcontractor, and Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within 30 days after Borrower has received notice of such filing) discharge or cause to be discharged (or bond over in accordance with applicable law) the same in case of the filing of any claims for lien or proceedings for the enforcement thereof; provided that in connection with any such lien or claim which Borrower may in good faith desire to contest, Borrower may contest the same by appropriate legal proceedings diligently prosecuted, but only if Borrower shall furnish to and Lender such security or indemnity as Lender requests (and bonding over shall suffice as acceptable security for Lender). With respect to the matters set forth in this Section 4.3, if Borrower shall (a) fail promptly to discharge or bond over any asserted liens or claims in accordance with the above terms and conditions, or (b) fail promptly to contest asserted liens or claims or to give security or indemnity in the manner provided in this Section 4.3, or (c) having commenced to contest the same, and having given such security or indemnity, fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or to maintain such indemnity or security so required by Lender for its full amount, or (d) upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, fail promptly to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then Lender may, but shall not be required to, following written notice to Borrower and a reasonable opportunity to cure (which shall be not less than thirty (30) days), procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon and, further, may, in its sole discretion, effect any settlement or compromise of the same
CHAR1\1949791v5 if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability, or non-payment of such shall place the Property in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, and any amounts so expended by Xxxxxx, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be deemed to constitute disbursements of the proceeds of the Loans hereunder, shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest from the date so disbursed until paid at the Default Rate. In settling, compromising or discharging any claims for lien or otherwise as permitted under this Section 4.3, Lender shall not be required to inquire into the validity or amount of any such claim. 4.4 Financial Statements; Compliance Certificates. In addition to any other financial statements required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower will or will cause from time to time to be furnished to Lender the following information and reports concerning Borrower and/or the Property: (a) Within thirty (30) days after filing, a copy of Borrower’s 10-K; (b) Within thirty (30) days after filing, a copy of Borrower 10-Q; (c) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, a projected income statement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B for the subsequent fiscal year prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way, in the ordinary course of business for one-way or reciprocal access, parking, water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines, cellular towers and other utilities, parking and access or for other similar purposes (“Permitted Easements”), provided that Borrower uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide Lender not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice thereof accompanied by the applicable documentation pertaining to such transfer, conveyance or encumbrance, and no such transfer, conveyance or encumbrance shall impose liabilities or obligations on Borrower that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. In connection with any Permitted Easement, if Borrower requests Xxxxxx’s consent thereto and provides Lender with a form of the instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate to subordinate the lien of the security instrument to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent and shall execute and deliver such instrument upon receipt by Lender of (a) a copy of the instrument of transfer, (b) an certificate from Borrower certifying that the conditions set forth in subsection (ii) hereof have been satisfied and (c) reimbursement of all Lender’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with Xxxxxx’s review of such action and the documentation related thereto, and the execution and delivery by Lender of the instruments to be delivered by Lender pursuant to this Section 4.6 provided that such instrument does not impose any liability upon Lender. 4.7 Proceedings Affecting Property. If any proceedings are filed seeking to enjoin or otherwise prevent or declare invalid or unlawful the occupancy, use, maintenance or operation of the Property, or any portion thereof, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such proceedings to be vigorously contested in good faith,
CHAR1\1949791v5 and in the event of an adverse ruling or decision, prosecute all commercially reasonable allowable appeals therefrom, and shall, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, resist the entry or seek the stay of any temporary or permanent injunction that may be entered, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to bring about a favorable and speedy disposition of all such proceedings. All such proceedings, including without limitation, all of Lender’s costs, and fees and disbursements of Xxxxxx’s counsel in connection with any such proceedings, whether or not Lender is a party thereto, shall be at Borrower’s expense. To the extent that Lender incurs any such expenses, including attorneys’ fees and fees and charges for court costs, bonds and the like, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such expenses and the amount due Lender shall bear interest at the rate under the Term Loan from the date so incurred by Lender until repaid to Lender and shall be payable to Lender on demand.

Any consent given by Lender or any waiver of default under this Section, shall not constitute a consent to, or waiver of any right, remedy or power of Lender under any subsequent default hereunder. 4.8 Notice of Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall promptly give to Lender notice of the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect. 4.9 Limitation on Distributions.

Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any and all fees, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ fees, appraisal fees, title fees, environmental assessment fees (including Phase I and Phase II assessments), expert fees, court costs, litigation and other expenses (collectively, the “Costs”) incurred or paid by Lender or any of its officers, employees or agents in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, procurement, review, administration or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Documents or any instrument, agreement, document, policy, consent, waiver, subordination, release of lien, termination statement, satisfaction of mortgage, financing statement or other lien search, recording or filing related thereto (or any amendment, modification or extension to, or any replacement or substitution for, any of the foregoing), whether or not any particular portion of the transactions contemplated during such negotiations is ultimately consummated, (b) any out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to this Agreement, and (c) the defense, preservation and protection of Lender’s rights and remedies thereunder, including without limitation, its security interest in the Property or any other property pledged to secure the Loans, whether incurred in bankruptcy, insolvency, foreclosure or other litigation or proceedings or otherwise. The Costs shall be due and payable upon demand by Xxxxxx and such Costs incurred by Lender up to and including the Effective Date shall be included in the closing statement with the Title Company. If thereafter Xxxxxxxx fails to pay the Costs when upon such demand, Xxxxxx is entitled to disburse such sums as an additional advance under the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Costs shall bear interest from the date incurred or disbursed at the highest rate set forth herein.

If any Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, Lender may elect to exercise any one or more of the following remedies all of which are cumulative, and all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, as the same are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, unless otherwise required by applicable law: (a) declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon such Obligations shall immediately become due and payable, or (b) proceed to realize upon the Property or any portion thereof or any property securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, causing all or any part of the Property to be transferred or registered in its name or in the name of any other Person in accordance with applicable law regarding enforcing the security interest

During the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts of principal outstanding as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion, without notice to Xxxxxxxx. This provision does not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or an agreement by Lender to permit any late payments whatsoever. 5.4 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy set forth herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy available under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or as may be now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, and each may be exercised together, separately and in any order. Borrower waives any requirement of marshalling of assets that may be secured by any of the Loan Documents. 5.5 Effect of Termination; Voluntary Termination. (a) The termination of this Agreement shall not affect any rights of either party or any obligation of either party to the other, arising prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights created or Obligations incurred prior to such termination have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interest, lien and rights granted to Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that no portion of the Loans is outstanding to Borrower, until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full. (b) Borrower may terminate this Agreement (i) by giving Lender written notice (“Termination Notice”) of the date on which this Agreement is to terminate (“Voluntary Termination Date”) at least ten (10) days before the Voluntary Termination Date, unless such election is revoked by Xxxxxxxx in writing delivered to Lender, and (ii) by paying on any such Voluntary Termination Date all of the Obligations. Upon the Voluntary Termination Date (unless such termination is revoked as set forth above), (1) the Term Loan and all other Obligations will automatically and immediately become due and payable, and (2) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents arising on and after that effective date of termination will automatically terminate immediately, without notice or demand, which Borrower hereby expressly waives. 5.6 No Adequate Remedy at Law. Borrower recognizes that no remedy at law shall provide adequate relief to Lender in the event that Borrower shall fail to pay, perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and, accordingly, Lender and Borrower agree that Lender shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that it has incurred actual damages.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 7.20 Limitation Upon Interest. In the event that the interest and/or charges in the nature of interest, if any, provided for by this Agreement or by any other Loan Document, or the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money to be loaned under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, contravenes a legal or statutory limitation applicable to the Term Loan, if any, Borrower will pay only such amounts as would legally be permitted; provided, however, that if the defense of usury and all similar defenses are unavailable to Borrower, Borrower will pay all amounts provided for herein. If, for any reason, amounts in excess of the amounts permitted in the foregoing sentence have been paid, received, collected or applied hereunder, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, then, and in that event, any such excess amounts will be applied to principal, unless principal has been fully paid, in which event such excess amount will be refunded to Borrower. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay an effective rate of interest equal to the rate stated in this Agreement and the Term Note, plus any additional rate, if any, resulting from any charge or fee in the nature of interest paid or to be paid by Xxxxxxxx and/or any other obligor in connection with the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents, or any benefit received or to be received by Lender in connection with the indebtedness or the Loan Documents. 7.21 Waiver of Offsets; Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Xxxxxx to perform any of its material obligations hereunder will result in any offset against any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. 7.22 Document Imaging, Electronic Transactions and the UETA. Without notice to or consent of Xxxxxxxx, Lender may create electronic images of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and destroy paper originals of any such imaged documents. Provided that such images are maintained by or on behalf of Lender as part of Xxxxxx’s normal business processes, Xxxxxxxx agrees that such images have the same legal force and effect as the paper originals, and are enforceable against Borrower. Furthermore, Xxxxxxxx agrees that Xxxxxx may convert any Loan Document into a “transferrable record” as such term is defined under, and to the extent permitted by, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in the State of Arizona, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, and any regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time (the “UETA”), with the image of such instrument in Xxxxxx’s possession constituting an “authoritative copy” under the UETA.
