THIS SUPPLEMENT AND JOINDER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of January 7, 2011, is being executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Main Street Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, Branch Banking and Trust Company, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), Regions Capital Markets, as Syndication Agent, BB&T Capital Markets, as lead arranger, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto by Capital One, N.A. (the “Additional Lender”), the REQUIRED LENDERS (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the BORROWER, the GUARANTORS and the ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

RECITALS

 

Pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that the Borrower proposes to increase the aggregate Revolver Commitments under the Credit Agreement by $15,000,000 from the current $85,000,000 to $100,000,000.

 

The Additional Lender has agreed to extend to the Borrower a new Revolver Commitment in the amount of $15,000,000 and to become a Lender for all purposes of the Credit Agreement.

 

As required by Section 2.14(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent has given each of the Lenders the right of first refusal for participating in the Commitment Increase and each Lender has declined to participate as an Increasing Lender.

 

The parties to this Agreement are entering into this Agreement for purposes of effecting the Commitment Increase under the Credit Agreement and the extension of the new Revolver Commitment of the Additional Lender, all as contemplated by Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Additional Lender, the Lenders, the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                                Recitals.  The Recitals are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.

 











 

SECTION 2.                                Additional Lender.  By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Additional Lender hereby becomes a party to the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Lender and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Lender thereunder.  The Administrative Agent hereby approves the Additional Lender as an Eligible Assignee.  The Additional Lender hereby extends to the Borrower, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, a Revolver Commitment in the amount of $15,000,000, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, and agrees to perform in accordance with the terms thereof all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender thereunder.  The Additional Lender represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii) from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and shall have and perform all of the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (iii) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend the Revolver Commitment to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender.  The Additional Lender agrees that it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions and analysis in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 3.                                Obligations of Lenders.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Revolver Commitments of the Additional Lender and the other Lenders under the Credit Agreement are several and not joint commitments and obligations of such Lenders.

 

SECTION 4.                                Conditions to Effectiveness.  Each party hereto agrees that this Agreement and the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase as provided in this Agreement shall be subject to satisfaction by the Borrower of the following conditions and requirements:

(b)                                 The Borrower and the Guarantors have the power and authority to enter into this Agreement and issue the Note and to do all acts and things as are required or contemplated hereunder or thereunder to be done, observed and performed by them.

SECTION 9.                                Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina.
