This Note amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety that certain Term Note 1 in the principal amount of Five Million Five Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($5,512,500), executed by Borrower in favor of Bank and dated November 1, 2012, as such may have been amended or modified from time to time prior to the date hereof (the “Prior Note”).

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at 1300 SW Fifth Avenue, MAC P6101-250, Portland, Oregon, 97201, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Four Million Four Hundred Eighty Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($4,483,500), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as defined herein, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

 

DEFINITIONS:

 

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined:

 

(a)“LIBOR” means the rate of interest per annum determined by Bank based on the rate for United States dollar deposits for delivery on the first day of each LIBOR Period for a period approximately equal to such LIBOR Period published by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, a United Kingdom company, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two London Business Days prior to the first day of such LIBOR Period (or if not so published, then as determined by Bank from another recognized source or interbank quotation); provided, however, that if LIBOR determined as provided above would be less than zero percent (0.0%), then LIBOR shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.0%).

 

(b)“LIBOR Period” means a period commencing on a New York Business Day and continuing for one (1) month, during which the entire outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with the understanding, that (i) no LIBOR Period may be selected for a principal amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), (ii) the initial LIBOR Period shall commence on the date this Note is disbursed, (iii) there shall be successive LIBOR Periods thereafter, each commencing automatically, and without notice to or consent from Borrower, immediately after the preceding LIBOR Period ends, (iv) if any LIBOR Period is scheduled to commence on a day that is not a New York Business Day, then such LIBOR Period shall commence on the next succeeding New York Business Day (and the preceding LIBOR Period shall continue up to, but shall not include, the first day of such LIBOR Period), unless the result of such extension would be to cause such LIBOR Period to begin in another calendar month, in which event such new LIBOR Period shall commence on the immediately preceding New York Business Day (and the preceding LIBOR Period shall continue up to, but shall not include, the first day of such new LIBOR Period), and (v) if, on the first day of the last LIBOR Period applicable hereto the remaining term of this Note is less than one (1) month, said LIBOR Period shall be in effect only until the scheduled maturity date hereof.

 

(c)“London Business Day” means any day that is a day for trading by and between banks in dollar deposits in the London interbank market.

 

(d)“New York Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in New York are authorized or required by law to close.

 

1

 



 

(e)“Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.  If the rate of interest announced by Bank as its Prime Rate at any time is less than zero percent (0.0%), then for purposes of this Note the Prime Rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.0%).

 

(f)“State Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the jurisdiction described in “Governing Law” herein are authorized or required by law to close.

 

INTEREST:

 

(a)Interest.  The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be two percent (2.00%) above LIBOR in effect on the first day of each LIBOR Period.  With respect to each LIBOR Period hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date and interest rate applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.  Borrower shall reimburse Bank immediately upon demand for any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of funds obtained to fund or maintain a LIBOR borrowing) incurred by Bank as a result of the failure of Borrower to accept or complete a LIBOR borrowing hereunder after making a request therefor.  Any reasonable determination of such amounts by Bank shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

 

(b)Taxes and Regulatory Costs.  Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) costs, expenses and liabilities arising from or in connection with reserve percentages prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR.  In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

 

(c)Default Interest.  From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, then at the option of Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

 

REPAYMENT:

 

(a)Repayment of Principal.  Principal shall be payable on the first day of each month in installments of Eighteen Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($18,375) each, commencing August 1, 2017, and continuing up to and including June 1, 2022, with a final installment consisting of all remaining unpaid principal due and payable in full on July 1, 2022.

 

(b)Payment of Interest.  Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing August 1, 2017, and on the maturity date set forth above.

(c)Application of Payments.  Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

PREPAYMENT:

 

(a)Prepayment.  Borrower may prepay principal on this Note at any time and in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance hereof.  In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of any LIBOR Period by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such LIBOR Period matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

 


	
 
	
(i)
	
Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto.




 


	
 
	
(ii)
	
Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such LIBOR Period at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.




 


	
 
	
(iii)
	
If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.




 

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities.  Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank.  If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2.00%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed).

 

(b)Application of Prepayments.  If principal under this Note is payable in more than one installment, then any prepayments of principal shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

 

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of June 30, 2017, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”).  Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.

 

MISCELLANEOUS:

 

(a)Remedies.  Upon the sale, transfer, hypothecation, assignment or other encumbrance, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of all or any interest in any real property securing this Note, if any, or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate.  Borrower shall pay to the holder

(b)Obligations Joint and Several.  Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.

 

(c)Governing Law.  This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Oregon, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks, without reference to the conflicts of law or choice of law principles thereof.

 

(d)Amendment and Restatement.  THIS NOTE AMENDS AND RESTATES THE PRIOR NOTE.  THE EXECUTION OF THIS NOTE DOES NOT EXTINGUISH THE INDEBTEDNESS OUTSTANDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRIOR NOTE, NOR DOES IT CONSTITUTE A NOVATION WITH RESPECT THERETO.
