"ARTICLE II
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE C/T
LOAN
Section
2.01. The
C/T Loan.
a. Subject
to the conditions and upon the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the C/T Note, Lenders severally
agree to continue the C/T Loan to the Maturity Date.
b. Borrower
may not reborrow any amounts repaid or prepaid on the C/T Loan, provided,
however, amounts of Funded C/T Outstandings bearing interest with reference to a
LIBO Rate shall be subject to Breakage Charges incident to prepayment as
provided in Section 2.07(c) hereinbelow and such prepayment may only be
made upon three (3) Banking Business Days prior written notice to Agent Bank
with sufficient copies for distribution to each of the Lenders.
Section
2.02. Term
of C/T Loan. The C/T Loan, as revised in the Third Amendment,
shall be for a term commencing on the Third Amendment Effective Date and
terminating on the Maturity Date, on which date the entire outstanding balance
of the C/T Loan shall be fully paid and Bank Facilities Termination shall
occur.
Section
2.03. The
C/T Note and Scheduled Amortization.
a. The
C/T Loan shall be evidenced by the C/T Note dated as of the Third Amendment
Effective Date and shall bear interest and be due and payable to Agent Bank on
behalf of the Lenders as provided in the Credit Agreement, a copy of which C/T
Note is marked "Exhibit A", affixed to the Third Amendment and by this
reference incorporated herein and made a part hereof as though fully set forth
verbatim. Agent Bank shall record the date and amount of each
repayment of principal made thereunder by Borrower, together with the applicable
Interest Period in the case of portions of the unpaid principal under the C/T
Loan bearing interest with reference to a LIBO Rate, and the entry of such
records shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, the
failure to make such a record or notation with respect to any repayment thereof,
or an error in making such a record or notation, shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the C/T Note.
7
b. Commencing
on October 31, 2008 and continuing on each Term Payment Date thereafter
until the Maturity Date, the Scheduled Term Amortization Payments in the amount
of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) each shall be made on each of the
Term Payment Dates.
c. All
principal prepayments, including Make Well Contributions, Capital Proceeds
applied to the C/T Loan under Section 8.02(a) and Excess Capital Proceeds
under Section 6.12(c) received by Agent Bank shall be applied to the last
principal sums falling due under the C/T Loan in the inverse order of
maturity.
Section
2.04. Intentionally omitted.
Section
2.05. Interest Rate
Options.
a. Commencing
on the Third Amendment Effective Date, Interest shall accrue on the entire
outstanding principal balance at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus
the Applicable Margin, unless Borrower elects pursuant to Section 2.05(c)
hereinbelow to have interest accrue on a portion or portions of the outstanding
principal balance at a LIBO Rate ("Interest Rate Option"), in which case
interest on such portion or portions shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to
such LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as long as: (i) each such LIBOR
Loan is in a minimum amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) and in
minimum increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess
thereof, and (ii) no more than three (3) LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at
any one time. Interest accrued on each Prime Rate Loan and on each
LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable on the first day of the month following the
Third Amendment Effective Date, on the first day of each successive month
thereafter, and on the Maturity Date. Except as qualified above, on
and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the outstanding principal balance
hereunder may be a Prime Rate Loan or one or more LIBOR Loans, or any
combination thereof, as Borrower shall specify.
b. At
any time and from time to time, Borrower may Convert from one Interest Rate
Option to another Interest Rate Option by giving irrevocable notice to Agent
Bank of such Conversion by 10:00 a.m., on a day which is at least three (3)
Banking Business Days prior to the proposed date of such Conversion to each
LIBOR Loan or two (2) Banking Business Days prior to the proposed date of such
Conversion to each Prime Rate Loan. Each such notice shall be made by
an Authorized Officer by telephone or facsimile and thereafter immediately
confirmed in writing by delivery to Agent Bank of a Continuation/Conversion
Notice specifying the date of such Conversion, the amounts to be so Converted
and the initial Interest Period if the Conversion is to a LIBOR
Loan. Upon receipt of such Continuation/Conversion Notice, Agent Bank
shall promptly set the applicable interest rate (which in the case of a LIBOR
Loan shall be the LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin as of the second Banking
Business Day prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period) and the
applicable Interest Period if the Conversion is to a LIBOR Loan and shall
confirm the same in writing to Borrower and Lenders. Each Conversion
shall be on a Banking Business Day. No LIBOR Loan shall be converted
to a Prime Rate Loan or renewed on any day other than the last day of the
current Interest Period relating to such amounts outstanding unless Borrower pay
any applicable Breakage Charges. If Borrower fails to give a
Continuation/Conversion Notice for the continuation of a LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR
Loan for a new Interest Period in accordance with this Section 2.05(b),
such LIBOR Loan shall automatically become a Prime Rate Loan at the end of its
then current Interest Period.
8
c. Each
interest period (each individually an "Interest Period" and collectively the
"Interest Periods") for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan
is made or the date of Conversion of any amount or amounts of the outstanding
Borrowings hereunder to a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, and shall end on the
date which is either one (1) or three (3) months thereafter at the election of
Borrower. However, no Interest Period may extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Each Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence and end on
a Banking Business Day. If any Interest Period would otherwise expire
on a day which is not a Banking Business Day, the Interest Period shall be
extended to expire on the next succeeding Banking Business Day, unless the
result of such extension would be to carry such Interest Period into another
calendar month, in which event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately
preceding Banking Business Day.
d. The
applicable LIBO Rate and Prime Rate shall be determined by the Agent Bank, and
notice thereof shall be given promptly to Borrower and Lenders. Each
determination of the applicable Prime Rate and LIBO Rate shall be conclusive and
binding upon the Borrower, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable
error. The Agent Bank shall, upon written request of Borrower or any
Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, a statement
showing the computations used by the Agent Bank in determining any rate
hereunder.
9
e. Computation
of interest on all Prime Rate Loans and on all LIBOR Loans shall be calculated
on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and the actual number
of days elapsed. The applicable Prime Rate shall be effective the
same day as a change in the Prime Rate is announced by WFB as being
effective.
f. If
with respect to any Interest Period, (a) the Agent Bank reasonably determines
(which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrower) that by reason
of circumstances affecting the inter-bank eurodollar market adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBO Rate, or
(b) Requisite Lenders advise Agent Bank that the LIBO Rate as determined by
Agent Bank will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
maintaining or funding, for such Interest Period, a LIBOR Loan, then so long as
such circumstances shall continue: (i) Agent Bank shall promptly
notify Borrower thereof, (ii) the Agent Bank shall not be under any
obligation to make a LIBOR Loan or Convert a Prime Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan
for which such circumstances exist, and (iii) on the last day of the then
current Interest Period, the LIBOR Loan for which such circumstances exist
shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically Convert to a Prime Rate
Loan.
g. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the C/T Note or the Credit Agreement, if, after the
Third Amendment Effective Date any law, rule, regulation, treaty, interpretation
or directive (whether having the force of law or not) or any change therein
shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, (i) the
commitment and agreement to maintain LIBOR Loans as to such Lender shall
immediately be suspended, and (ii) unless required to be terminated earlier,
LIBOR Loans as to such Lender, if any, shall be Converted on the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable thereto to a Prime Rate
Loan. If it shall become lawful for such Lender to again maintain
LIBOR Loans, then Borrower may once again as to such Lender request Conversions
to the LIBO Rate.
Section
2.06. Security for the
Bank
Facilities. The Security Documentation shall secure the due
and punctual payment and performance of the terms and provisions of this Credit
Agreement, the C/T Note and all of the other Loan Documents.
10
Section
2.07. Place
and Manner of Payment.
a. All
amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders shall be made to Agent Bank on behalf
of Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement and the C/T Note and
shall be made on a Banking Business Day in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. In addition to the
Scheduled Term Amortization Payments and prepayments from the proceeds of Make
Well Contributions, Borrower may make prepayments ("C/T Principal Prepayments")
of the outstanding balance of principal owing under the C/T Note no more
frequently than three (3) such C/T Principal Prepayments during each calendar
month. Each such C/T Principal Prepayment shall be in a minimum
amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (or, if less, the
outstanding principal amount of the C/T Loan) and in increments of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000.00) in excess thereof.
b. All
such amounts payable by Borrower shall be made to Agent Bank at its office
located at Xxxxx Fargo Bank, Syndications Division, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address as may
be directed in writing by Agent Bank from time to time and shall be designated
as payments on the C/T Loan. If such payment is received by Agent
Bank prior to 11:00 a.m., Agent Bank shall credit Borrower with such payment on
the day so received and shall promptly disburse to the Lenders on the same day
the Pro Rata Share of payments in immediately available funds. If
such payment is received by Agent Bank after 11:00 a.m., Agent Bank shall credit
Borrower with such payment as of the next Banking Business Day and disburse to
the Lenders on the next Banking Business Day such Pro Rata Share of such payment
in immediately available funds. Any payment on the C/T Loan made by
Borrower to Agent Bank pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement for the
account of Lenders shall constitute payment to the appropriate
Lenders. If the C/T Loan or any payment required to be made thereon
or hereunder, is or becomes due and payable on a day other than a Banking
Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Banking Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension.
c. The
outstanding principal owing under the C/T Loan may, subject to
Section 2.07(a), be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without
penalty, provided, however, that any portion or portions of the unpaid principal
balance which is accruing interest at a LIBO Rate may only be prepaid on the
last day of the applicable Interest Period unless Borrower gives three (3) days
prior written notice to Agent Bank and additionally pay concurrently with such
prepayment such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lenders for any
losses, costs or expenses which they may incur as a result of such payment,
including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits),
cost or expense incurred by the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan ("Breakage
Charges"). A certificate of a Lender as to amounts payable hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest or
demonstrable error. Any calculation hereunder shall be made on the
assumption that each Lender has funded or will fund each LIBOR Loan in the
London interbank market; provided that no
Lender shall have any obligation to actually fund any LIBOR Loan in such
manner.
11
d. Unless
the Agent Bank receives notice from an Authorized Officer prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment
in full as and when required, the Agent Bank may assume that Borrower has made
such payment in full to the Agent Bank on such date in immediately available
funds and the Agent Bank may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to
the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower has
not made such payment in full to the Agent Bank, each Lender shall repay to the
Agent Bank on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with
interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such
amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
e. If,
other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain any
payment with respect to the Bank Facilities (whether voluntary, involuntary,
through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its
Syndication Interest, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent Bank of
such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in
the Bank Facilities as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to
share the excess payment with each of them in proportion to their respective
Syndication Interests; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each
other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid
therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share
(according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's
required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so
recovered. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully
as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such
participation. The Agent Bank will keep records (which shall be
conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error) of each
participation purchased under this section and will in each case notify the
Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.
12
Sections
2.08 through 2.12. Intentionally omitted.
Section
2.13. Fees. On
or before the Closing Date and on each other applicable date, Borrower shall pay

Letter.
Section
2.14. Late
Charges and Default Rate.
a. If
any payment due under the C/T Note is not paid within three (3) Banking Business
Days after receipt by Borrower of written notice of such nonpayment from Agent
Bank, Borrower promise to pay a late charge in the amount of four percent (4.0%)
of the amount of such delinquent payment and Agent Bank need not accept any late
payment made unless it is accompanied by such four percent (4%) late payment
charge. Any late charge shall be paid to Lenders in proportion to
their respective Syndication Interests.
b. In
the event of the existence of an Event of Default, commencing on the first (1st)
Banking Business Day following the receipt by Borrower of written notice of the
occurrence of such Event of Default from Agent Bank, the total of the unpaid
balance of the principal and the then accrued and unpaid interest owing under
the C/T Note shall commence accruing interest at a rate equal to four percent
(4.0%) over the rates of interest otherwise applicable to such C/T Note (the
"Default Rate") until all Events of Default which may exist have been cured, at
which time the interest rate shall revert to the rates of interest otherwise
accruing pursuant to the terms of such C/T Note.
c. In
the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable costs of collection, including the reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Agent Bank, in addition to and at the time of the payment of such
sum of money and/or the performance of such acts as may be required to cure such
Event of Default. In the event legal action is commenced for the
collection of any sums owing hereunder or under the terms of the C/T Note, the
Borrower agrees that any judgment issued as a consequence of such action against
Borrower shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate until fully
paid.
13
Section
2.15. Net
Payments. All payments under this Credit Agreement and the C/T
Note shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or defense of any
kind and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments,
after deduction or withholding for or on account of any future taxes, levies,
imposts, duties or other charges of whatsoever nature imposed by the United
States or any Governmental Authority, other than franchise taxes or any tax on
or measured by the gross receipts or overall net income of any Lender pursuant
to the income tax laws of the United States or any State or any Governmental
Authority, or the jurisdiction where each Lender's principal office is located
(collectively "Taxes"), shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified
to be paid under this Credit Agreement and the C/T Note. A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable to the Lenders under this
Section 2.15 submitted to the Borrower by the Lenders shall show in reasonable
detail an accounting of the amount payable and the calculations used to
determine in good faith such amount and shall be conclusive absent manifest or
demonstrable error. Any amounts payable by the Borrower under this
Section 2.15 with respect to past payments shall be due within thirty (30) days
following receipt by the Borrower of such certificate from the Lenders; any such
amounts payable with respect to future payments shall be due within thirty (30)
days after demand with such future payments. With respect to each
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes, the Borrower shall
promptly furnish to the Lenders such certificates, receipts and other documents
as may be required (in the reasonable judgment of the Lenders) to establish any
tax credit to which the Lenders may be entitled.
Section
2.16. Increased
Costs. If after the date hereof the adoption, or any change
in, of any applicable law, rule or regulation relating to LIBOR Loans (including
without limitation Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System and any successor thereto), or any change in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive relating to LIBOR Loans
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency:
a. Shall
subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to LIBOR Loans,
the C/T Note or such Lender's obligation to make any LIBOR Loans, or shall
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of the principal of, or
interest on, LIBOR Loans or any other amounts due under the C/T Note in respect
of LIBOR Loans or such Lender's obligation to fund LIBOR Loans (except for
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender imposed by
the United States or any Governmental Authority pursuant to the income tax laws
of the United States or any State, or the jurisdiction where each Lender's
principal office is located); or
14
b. With
respect to any LIBOR Loan, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, special
deposit, capitalization, capital adequacy or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
or
c. Shall
impose on any Lender any other condition affecting LIBOR Loans, the C/T Note or
such Lender's obligation to make any LIBOR Loans;
and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or in the case of
Regulation D or reserve requirements referred to above or a successor
thereto, to impose a cost on) such Lender (or any Eurodollar office of such
Lender) of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans, or to reduce the rate of return on
capital of the Lender or the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender under the C/T Note, then within ten (10) days after demand by such
Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth the
basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased
cost (or in the case of Regulation D or reserve requirements or capital
adequacy referred to above or a successor thereto, such costs which may be
imposed upon such Lender) or such reduction of the rate of return on capital or
of any sum received or receivable under the C/T Note. Each Lender
agrees to use its reasonable efforts to minimize such increased or imposed costs
or such reduction.
Section
2.17. Mitigation;
Exculpation. Each Lender agrees that it will promptly notify
the Borrower in writing upon its becoming aware that any payments are to become
due to it under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 2.15 or
2.16. Each Lender further agrees that it will use reasonable efforts
not materially disadvantageous to it (in its reasonable determination) in order
to avoid or minimize, as the case may be, the payment by the Borrower of any
additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16. Each Lender
represents, to the best of its knowledge, that as of the Third Amendment
Effective Date no such amounts are payable.
15
Section
2.18. Guaranty
Agreement. As additional security for the due and punctual
payment and performance of the C/T Loan and each of the terms, covenants,

copy of which is marked "Exhibit Q", affixed to the First Amendment and by
