Agreement it is necessary to determine whether a lease is a capital lease or an
operating lease, such determination shall be made on the basis of U.S. GAAP as
in effect on the Closing Date.

Article 2
THE LOANS

2.1[Reserved]

2.2Line of Credit.  The Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit pursuant to
which the Borrowers may borrow, repay, and re-borrow, subject to the terms of
this Agreement (including Exhibit B) and the other Loan Documents.  At no one
time shall the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit exceed
$10,000,000.

(a)Advances.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Bank shall make
Advances to Borrowers under the Line of Credit for the uses permitted by Section
2.2(c) below.

(b)Note.  The Indebtedness of Borrowers to the Bank under the Line of Credit is
and will be evidenced by the Line of Credit Note.

(c)Use of Proceeds.  Advances under the Line of Credit shall be used by
Borrowers solely for (i) for general corporate purposes, (ii) repurchases of
issued and outstanding Capital Securities of Parent, and (iii) other permitted
purposes.

(d)Interest.   Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Line of
Credit shall accrue at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 360 days.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, all of the provisions contained in Exhibit B attached hereto shall
apply to the Line of Credit.  In the event that there are any inconsistencies
between the terms of the Agreement and the terms contained in Exhibit B attached
hereto, the terms contained in Exhibit B shall control.

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)Letters of Credit.  Borrower may request that the Bank, in lieu of cash
advances under the Line of Credit, issue standby letters of credit
(individually, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”)
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit
Exposure”), each for a term of no more than 12 months and renewable annually
thereafter, but in no event having expiration dates after one year past the
maturity of the Line of Credit.  The availability of Advances under the Line of
Credit shall be reduced by the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued and
outstanding (whether or not drawn).  Each payment by the Bank under a Letter of
Credit, if not reimbursed by Borrowers within 2 Business Days of demand
therefor, shall, in the Bank’s discretion, (i) constitute an advance of
principal under the Line of Credit and shall be evidenced by the Line of Credit
Note and/or (ii) if such advance of principal would cause a default under the
requirement of Section 5.14(b) of this Agreement (based on the most recent
certificate delivered to the Bank as required by Section 5.3 of this Agreement
and assuming that such payment by the Bank under the Letter of Credit had been
made on the last day of the reporting period for such certificate), constitute
an Event of Default.  The Letters of Credit shall be governed by the terms of
this Agreement and by one or more reimbursement agreements, in form and content
satisfactory to the Bank, executed by Borrowers in favor of the Bank.  Each
request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit must be accompanied by Borrower’s
execution of an application on the Bank’s standard forms, together with all
supporting documentation.  Each Letter of Credit will be issued in the Bank’s
sole discretion and in a form acceptable to the Bank.  Borrower shall pay the
Bank’s standard issuance fee on the face  amount of the Letter of Credit upon
issuance, together with such other customary fees, commissions and expenses
therefor as shall be required by the Bank, including, but not limited to, an
annual Letter of Credit fee equal in the minimum amount of 1% of the face amount
of the Letter of Credit.  This provision is not a pre-advice for the issuance of
a letter of credit and is not irrevocable.  Upon the termination of the Line of
Credit, Borrowers will cause all Letters of Credit, on terms satisfactory to the
Bank, to be either (I) cancelled and replaced by an irrevocable letter of credit
issued by a financial institution satisfactory to the Bank or (II) cash
collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the then Letter of Credit Exposure.

(f)Unused Fee.  Borrower shall pay to the Bank a fee (the “Unused Fee”)
calculated as the difference between the amount of the Line of Credit and the
average outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit during each calendar
quarter using at an annualized rate of twenty (20) basis points (0.20%).  The
Unused Fee shall be payable in arrears within 10 days after the end of each
calendar quarter.

(g)Payments.  On each Interest Payment Date (as defined in Exhibit B attached
hereto), Borrowers shall make a payment in the amount of the accrued interest on
the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit.  The entire unpaid
principal amount of the Line of Credit, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder in connection with the
Line of Credit, shall be due and payable in full on June 10, 2020.

(h)Prepayment.  The Line of Credit may be prepaid in accordance with the terms
contained in Exhibit B attached hereto.

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.3Payment Provisions.

(a)All payments of principal, interest, fees, and other amounts due under the
Line of Credit, including any prepayments thereof, shall be made by the
Borrowers to the Bank

in immediately available funds before twelve o’clock (12:00) noon on any
Business Day at the principal office of the Bank set forth in Section 9.7 of
this Agreement.

(b)If any payment under this Agreement or the Line of Credit Note shall become
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in
computing interest in connection with such payment.

(c)The Borrowers hereby authorize the Bank to charge the Borrowers’ deposit
accounts at the Bank for any payment when due hereunder.  Payments received will
be applied to charges, fees, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), accrued
interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.

2.4Late Payments; Default Rate.  If Borrowers fail to make any payment of
principal, interest, or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of
this Agreement or the Line of Credit Note within 10 calendar days of the date
due and payable, the Borrowers also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to
3.0% of the amount of such payment (the “Late Charge”).  Such 10 day period
shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such
payment.  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand, or otherwise, and at
the Bank’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the
continuance thereof, the Line of Credit Note shall bear interest at a rate that
shall be five percentage points (5.0%) in excess of the interest rate in effect
from time to time under this Agreement or the Line of Credit Note but not more
than the maximum rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”).  The Default Rate
shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on the Line of
Credit Note.  Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as
liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank’s expenses incident to
the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of,
the Bank’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan
Documents, or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or
attorneys which the Bank may employ.  In addition, the Default Rate reflects the
increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default.  The
Borrowers agree that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts
of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and
that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and
without difficulty.

2.5Advances.

(a)Borrowers may obtain Advances by giving the Bank notice, in the form of a
Notice of Borrowing, executed by Parent, specifying the date, amount, and
purpose thereof; provided, that prior to the delivery to the Bank of each of the
items described in Section 5.22, Borrowers may not request any Advances, and the
Bank shall have no obligation to make any Advances, other than Advances to pay
fees and expenses due to the Bank or any of its agents or advisors, including,
without limitation, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.  Each Advance shall be in a minimum amount of

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

$500,000 and shall be in additional integral multiples of $100,000.  The Notice
of Borrowing shall specify whether a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan
is being requested and if a LIBOR Rate Loan is requested, the LIBOR Interest
Period selected by Borrower.  If the interest rate and/or a LIBOR Interest
Period is not selected, such Advance shall be in the form of a 1-month LIBOR
Rate Loan.

(b)Upon compliance with subsection (a) above and the other terms of this
Agreement and any other applicable Loan Documents, the Bank shall promptly make
the requested Advance available to Borrowers by crediting such amount to a
Borrower’s operating account with the Bank.

(c)Each request for an Advance pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be irrevocable
and binding on Borrowers.

(d)the Bank shall not be obligated to fund more than two (2) Advances per month.

2.6Regulatory Changes in Capital Requirements.  If the Bank shall have
determined that the adoption or the effectiveness after the date hereof of any
law, rule, regulation, or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in
any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the
foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Bank (or any lending office of the Bank) or its holding company with any request
or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of the Bank or its holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Advances or the Line of
Credit made by the Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which the Bank or
its holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration the policies of the Bank and its holding
company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be
material, then from time to time Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or its holding company for the
amount of any such reduction suffered from the later of the date of adoption or
effectiveness of any such change, together with interest on each such amount
from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the rates provided in
this Agreement with respect to amounts not paid when due.  The Bank will use its
best efforts to notify Borrower prior to the effectiveness of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Bank to
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.6.

A certificate of the Bank setting forth in reasonable detail such amount or
amounts as shall be necessary to compensate the Bank or its holding company as
specified above shall be delivered to Borrowers and shall be presumed correct
absent manifest error.  Borrowers shall pay the Bank the amount shown as due on
any such certificate delivered by the Bank within three Business Days after its
receipt of the same.

Failure on the part of the Bank to demand compensation for increased costs or
reduction in amounts received or receivable or reductions in return on capital
with respect to any

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

period shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to demand compensation
with respect to such period or any other period.

2.7Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Line of Credit
Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, or withholdings,
and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Bank,
taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which the Bank is organized or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”).  If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under Line of Credit Note to the
Bank, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.7) the Bank receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers
shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law.

(b)If any assignee of Bank's rights under this Agreement is not a “United States
Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code
(“Non‑U.S. Lender”) and is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party, such Non-U.S. Lender shall, upon becoming
party to this Agreement and to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to Borrower a completed and properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or
W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying
that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption or reduction from U.S.
withholding tax on interest.

(c)In addition, Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp documentary
taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which
arise from any payment made hereunder or under Line of Credit Note or from the

Agreement or the Line of Credit Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(d)Borrowers will indemnify the Bank for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.7) paid by the Bank and any
liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from
the date the Bank makes written demand therefor.

BE INVALID, VOIDABLE, OR VOID, BUT THE POWER SHALL CONTINUE UNDIMINISHED AND MAY
BE EXERCISED FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS THE BANK SHALL ELECT UNTIL ALL
OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES TO THE BANK HAVE BEEN PAID IN FULL.

9.15ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.  EACH LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD THE
ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL IN THE REVIEW AND EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND,
SPECIFICALLY, SECTIONS 9.11 THROUGH AND INCLUDING 9.14 HEREOF, AND FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE MEANING AND EFFECT OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
AND CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT HAVE BEEN FULLY EXPLAINED TO EACH LOAN PARTY BY SUCH

terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial
institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each
Person who establishes a formal relationship with such institution.  Therefore,

Bank will ask the Loan Parties or their officers or owners their name, address,
date of birth (for individuals) and other pertinent information that will allow
the Bank to identify the Loan Parties.  The Bank may also ask to see the Loan

B-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, including the
first date of the applicable period to, but not including, the date of
repayment.

c.Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans.  LIBOR Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR
Rate Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.  For
LIBOR Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR Rate Loans in connection with which a Borrower
has or may incur Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated
with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable
Hedging Contracts.   Borrowers shall give the Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, at least four Business Days’ notice of any proposed
prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the
proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR Rate Loans,
and the principal amount to be paid.  Each partial prepayment of the principal
amount of LIBOR Rate Loans and Daily LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral
multiple of $10,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on
such LIBOR Rate Loans (including the LIBOR Breakage Fee) and Daily LIBOR Rate
Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment

d.LIBOR Breakage Fees.  Upon:  (i) any default by Borrowers in making any
borrowing of or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan following Borrowers’
delivery of a borrowing request or continuation notice hereunder or under the
Agreement; or (ii) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not
the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period (regardless of the source of
such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrowers
shall pay an amount (“LIBOR Breakage Fee”), as calculated by the Bank, equal to
the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation
any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that the Bank may sustain as a
result of such default or payment.  Each Borrower understands, agrees, and
acknowledges that:  (i) the Bank does not have any obligation to purchase, sell,
and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for
calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) the LIBOR Rate may
be used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrowers have
accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating the LIBOR
Breakage Fee and other funding losses incurred by the Bank.   Each Borrower
further agrees to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any,
whether or not the Bank elects to purchase, sell, and/or match funds.

4.Miscellaneous LIBOR Rate Loan Terms

a.LIBOR Rate Lending Unlawful.  If the Bank shall determine (which determination
shall, upon notice thereof to Borrowers and absent manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline, (whether or not having
the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any central the Bank or other
governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Bank to make,
continue or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan and/or a Daily
LIBOR Rate Loan as a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan, the obligations of the Bank to make,
continue or maintain any such LIBOR Rate Loans and/or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans
shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until the Bank shall
notify Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist,
and all LIBOR Rate Loans and/or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans of such type shall
automatically convert into Prime Rate Loans at the end of

B-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the then current LIBOR Interest Periods (or in the case of Daily LIBOR Rate
Loans, the same day) with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or
assertion.

b.Unavailability of LIBOR Rate.  In the event that Borrowers shall have
requested a LIBOR Rate Loan and/or a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan in accordance with
the Note and this Agreement and the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall have
determined that Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant
LIBOR Interest Period are not available to the Bank in the London interbank
market; or by reason of circumstances affecting the Bank in the London interbank
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR
Rate and/or the Daily LIBOR Rate applicable to the relevant LIBOR Interest
Period; or the LIBOR Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate no longer adequately and
fairly reflects the Bank’s cost of funding loans; upon notice from the Bank to
Borrowers, the obligations of the Bank hereunder and under this Agreement to
make or continue any loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans
and/or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended
until the Bank shall notify Borrowers that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist.

c.Increased Costs.  If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force
of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central the Bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central the Bank or comparable agency: (a)
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the
Board) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or on the London interbank
market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, Daily LIBOR Rate
Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans; or
(b) shall impose on the Bank any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans,
Daily LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans or Daily LIBOR
Rate Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
the Bank of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or Daily LIBOR Rate Loans,
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this
agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material,
then, within 15 days after demand by the Bank, Borrowers shall pay to the Bank
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased
cost or reduction.

d.Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in, or the introduction, adoption,
effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or
regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the
force of law) of any court, central the Bank, regulator or other governmental
authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by the Bank, or person controlling the Bank, and the Bank
determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its
or such controlling person’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or the
loans made by the Bank is reduced to a level below that which the Bank or such
controlling person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such
circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Bank
to Borrowers, Borrowers shall immediately pay directly to the Bank additional
amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such controlling person for such
reduction in rate of return.

B-5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

A statement of the Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including
calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest
error, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers.  In determining such amount, the
Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and
absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

e.Taxes.  All payments by Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the LIBOR
Rate Loan and the Daily LIBOR Rate Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future
income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties,
withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing
authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the
Bank’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called
“Taxes”).  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be
made by Borrowers hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any
applicable law, rule, or regulation, then Borrowers will:

(a)pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so
withheld or deducted;

(b)promptly forward to the Bank an official receipt or other documentation
satisfactory to the Bank evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(c)pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure
that the net amount actually received by the Bank will equal the full amount the
Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Bank with respect to
any payment received by the Bank hereunder, the Bank may pay such Taxes and
Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties,
interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by
the Bank after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional
amount) shall equal the amount the Bank would have received had not such Taxes
been asserted.

If Borrowers fail to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to the Bank the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for any incremental
Taxes, interests or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of
any such failure.
