RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Lender has determined that it may make one or more loans, advances or other extensions of credit (each an “Advance” and collectively, the “Loan”), in its sole and absolute discretion, to Borrowers;

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrowers desire to set forth the general requirements and conditions for the approval of credit to Borrowers applicable to the Loan; and

 

WHEREAS, for each additional extension of credit, Lender may impose additional requirements as it deems necessary for the approval of the credit, terms, the documentation of the associated Advance, and the perfection of Lender’s security interests;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree that it is appropriate to enter into this Master Loan and Security Agreement in order to set forth general terms and conditions that shall be applicable to each Advance and the Loan and to establish the framework for the making of future Advances and the documentation thereof.

 

1.                                      General Terms Applicable to Loans, Advances and Credit Commitments.

 

(a)                                 Each Advance individually, and the Loan generally, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any additional terms or conditions which Lender may specify to Borrowers in the case of any particular Advance to Borrowers.

 

(b)                                 As of the date of this Agreement, Lender has NOT extended to Borrowers any credit commitment (“Commitment”) or made any representation or warranty to Borrowers that a Commitment will be extended to Borrowers.  Any Commitment, if made at all, shall be made in writing by Lender in either a separate commitment letter, in the written documentation relating to a particular Advance or evidenced by the promissory note relating to such Advance.  The drafting of documents relating to a requested Advance, preliminary proposals made to Borrowers, or Lender’s furnishing of drafts of documents to Borrowers, however, shall not signify or be interpreted as the making of a Commitment.  No credit Commitment may be extended without the completion of Lender’s internal credit approval processes and any such Commitment at the time of an Advance shall only be made upon and evidenced by the completion and execution of written documentation satisfactory to Lender in all respects and in its sole discretion.

 

(c)                                  Advances (if any) shall be made on or before any applicable Commitment termination or expiration date specified by Lender with regard to such Advances or the Loans generally.

(d)                                 Borrowers shall give Lender notice (which shall be irrevocable) not later than 10:00 am (Eastern time) on the third Business Day prior to the requested day for the making of any Advance, which notice shall include the contemporaneous delivery to Lender of the documents described herein.  Each such notice shall specify (a) the requested date for the making of such Advance which shall be a Business Day and (b) the amount of such Advance.  As used herein, the term “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or other days on which banks are authorized or required to close in Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

2.                                      Principal and Interest.

 

(a)                                 The obligation to repay any Loan hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes payable by Borrowers to the order of Lender (as each such promissory note may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, a “Note”).  Each Note shall bear interest, be payable and mature as set forth in the Note.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), or if the Note is accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement, the outstanding principal and all accrued interest, as well as any other charges due Lender hereunder, shall bear interest from the date on which such amount shall have first become due and payable to Lender to the date on which such amount shall be paid to Lender (whether before or after judgment), at a default rate, to be determined by Lender in its sole discretion from time to time, equal to up to six percentage points (6.0%) in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest, not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”).

 

(b)                                 Time is of the essence with respect to the payment and performance of the Obligations (as defined below) to be paid or otherwise performed under this Agreement, the Note and all of the other Loan Documents (as defined below).

 

(c)                                  Once repaid no Advance may be reborrowed hereunder.

 

(d)                                 If Borrowers fail to pay any amount due hereunder, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, Borrowers shall pay to Lender a late payment fee equal to five percent (5%) of the amount unpaid.  Such fee shall be payable on demand and shall constitute part of the Obligations.

 

(e)                                  All amounts due hereunder and under the Note will be due on the dates or at the times specified hereunder or under the Note regardless of whether Borrowers have received any notice that such amounts are due.

 

(f)                                   Principal and interest payments, and any other amounts due hereunder, shall be made to Lender at the address specified herein or such other address as Lender may designate from time to time, in writing.

 

3.                                      Security.

 

(a)                                 As security for the payment as and when due of the indebtedness of Borrowers to Lender under this Agreement, any Note, the Rate Management Obligations, and any other documents relating thereto (and any renewals, extensions and modifications thereof) and under any other agreement or instrument (as the same may be renewed, extended or modified and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”), both now in existence and hereafter created relating to Borrowers’ acquisition of the equipment described on Schedule A hereto (as supplemented from time to time) or on any similar schedule attached to a Note (collectively, the “Equipment” and, individually, an “Item of Equipment”), together with any other obligation of Borrowers to Lender or its affiliates, and the performance as and when due of all obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents and any Rate Management Agreement (as the same may be renewed, extended or modified; and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Obligations”; provided, however, any Excluded Swap Obligations are specifically excluded from the definition of Obligations), Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a first priority security interest in all of Borrowers’ right, title and interest in the following (whether now existing or hereafter created and whether

Under no circumstance shall any alteration, modification or attachment be subjected by Borrowers to any encumbrance other than the Lien of the Lender hereunder.

(c)                                  If Borrowers do not obtain, maintain or furnish to Lender acceptable proof of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Lender shall be entitled to procure such insurance, as Lender shall deem appropriate in its discretion, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense.

 

8.                                      Risk of Loss; Damage to Equipment.

 

(a)                                 Borrowers shall bear the entire risk of loss and damage to any and all Items of Equipment from any cause whatsoever, whether or not insured against.  No loss or damage shall relieve Borrowers of the obligation to pay any amounts due under the Note or of any other Obligations.  An “Event of Loss” shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Item of Equipment if such Item of Equipment or any material part thereof has been lost, stolen, requisitioned or condemned by any governmental authority, damaged beyond repair or damaged in such a manner that results in an insurance settlement on the basis of an actual or arranged total loss.

 

(b)                                 Upon any loss or damage to any Item of Equipment not constituting an Event of Loss, Borrowers will promptly notify Lender of such loss or damage, and in any event within thirty (30) days of such loss or damage (or such longer period as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion), place such Item of Equipment in good condition and repair as required by the terms of this Agreement.  If an Event of Loss to any Item of Equipment has occurred, Borrowers shall immediately notify Lender of same, and at the option of Lender, Borrowers shall: (i) not more than thirty (30) days following such Event of Loss (or such longer period as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion) replace such Item of Equipment with replacement equipment (acceptable to Lender) in as good condition and repair, and with the same value remaining useful economic life and utility, as such replaced Item of Equipment immediately preceding the Event of Loss (assuming that such replaced Item of Equipment was in the condition required by this Agreement), which replacement equipment shall immediately, and without further act, be deemed to constitute Equipment and be fully subject to this Agreement as if it originally constituted part of the Equipment hereunder and shall be free and clear of all Liens; or (ii) prepay on the next succeeding Payment Date (as defined in each Note relating to the Equipment) (the “Prepayment Date”), together with all other amounts due and payable on such Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Ratable Portion (as defined below) of each installment of principal and interest payable under such Note on each Payment Date after the Prepayment Date, in each case, discounted from the Payment Date on which such payment would have been due to the Prepayment Date at a rate per annum equal to the 30 day LIBOR rate as of the date of the Note to be prepaid or the Prepayment Date, whichever is lower.  As used herein, “Ratable Portion” means a fraction the numerator of which is the original amount advanced to Borrowers in respect of the purchase of such Item of Equipment and the denominator of which is the original principal amount of such Note.  Upon Lender’s receipt of the payment required under clause (ii) above, Lender shall release its security interest in the Item of Equipment to which such payment relates.

 

9.                                      Application of Proceeds.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all funds received at any time by Lender, whether as a result of any loss of the Equipment, as a result of the exercise of any remedy or otherwise shall be applied as follows: (i) if the Loan has not been accelerated pursuant to Section 13, in the following manner: first, to the payment of all fees, charges and other sums

(with exception of principal and interest) due and payable hereunder and under each Note, second, to the payment of all interest (including default interest) then due and payable on the outstanding principal of the Loan, third, to the payment of all principal then due and payable on the Loan, fourth, to the payment of the remaining principal on the Loan in inverse order of maturity, and fifth, to the payment of all Rate Management Obligations, and sixth, to Borrowers or such other person as may have an interest in such proceeds, as their interests may appear, and (ii) if the Loan has been accelerated pursuant to Section 13, or if a Default or an Event of Default hereunder shall have occurred, in the following manner: first, to the payment or reimbursement of Lender for all costs, expenses and losses incurred or sustained by Lender in or incidental to the collection of the Obligations, or the exercise, protection or enforcement of all or any of the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, and second, to the payment of all of the Obligations in the manner and order as provided in clause (i) above.  If the Loan is comprised of more than one Note, Lender shall be entitled to apply proceeds to one or more of the Notes in such order and manner as the Lender may, in its discretion, deem appropriate.

 

10.                               Financial, Other Information and Notices.

If Borrower ceases to be such reporting company with the SEC, then within forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter, a Borrower shall furnish to Lender a copy of Primoris Services Corporation’s internally prepared consolidated financial statements for that quarter and for the year to date in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender, prepared and certified as complete and correct, subject to changes resulting from year-end adjustments, by the chief financial officer, manager, member, partner, trustee or other representative of such Borrower.

If Borrower ceases to be such reporting company with the SEC, then within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, Borrower shall furnish to Lender a copy of Primoris Services Corporation’s consolidated year-end financial statements audited by a firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Lender (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and accompanied by an audit opinion of such accountants without qualification.

 

All such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

 

(b)                                 Borrowers shall provide prompt written notice to Lender (i) of any Event of Default, (ii) of any loss or damage to any Item of Equipment or any Event of Loss with respect to any Item of Equipment, and (iii) any existing or threatened investigation, claim or action by any governmental authority which could adversely affect the Equipment or this Agreement.

Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in scheduling such inspection and in making the Equipment available for inspection by Lender or its designee at a single location as reasonably specified by Borrowers.

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, (i) at its option, declare all of the Obligations, including the entire unpaid principal of all Notes, all of the unpaid interest accrued therein, and all of the other sums (if any) payable by Borrowers under this Agreement, any Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents, to be immediately due and payable, plus three percent (3%) of the unpaid principal of all Notes declared due by Lender (as compensation for reinvestment costs and not as a penalty), and (ii) proceed to exercise any one or more of the following remedies and any additional rights and remedies permitted by law (none of which shall be exclusive), all of which are hereby authorized by Borrowers:

 

(i)                                     Borrowers shall upon demand assemble or cause to be assembled any or all of the Equipment at a location designated by Lender; and/or to return promptly, at Borrowers’ expense, any or all of the Equipment to Lender at such location;

 

9

 

(ii)                                  Lender may itself or by its agents enter upon the premises of any Borrower or any other location where the Equipment is located and take possession of and render unusable by Borrowers any or all of the Equipment, wherever it may be located, without any court order or other process of law and without liability for any damages occasioned by such taking of possession;

 

(iii)                               Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Equipment, whether or not in Lender’s possession, at public or private sale with or without notice to Borrowers, with the right of Lender to purchase and apply the net proceeds of such disposition, after deducting all costs of such disposition (including but not limited to costs of transportation, possession, storage, refurbishing, advertising and brokers’ fees), to the obligations of Borrowers under the Notes and the other Loan Documents, with Borrowers remaining liable for any deficiency, or retain any and all of the Equipment;

 

(iv)                              Proceed by appropriate court action, either at law or in equity (including an action for specific performance), to enforce performance by Borrowers or to recover damages associated with such Event of Default; or exercise any other right or remedy available to Lender at law or in equity; and

 

(v)                                 By offset, recoupment or other manner of application, apply any security deposit, monies held in deposit or other sums then held by Lender or any affiliate of Lender, and with respect to which any Borrower has an interest, against any obligations of such Borrower arising under this Agreement, any Notes or any other Loan Document, whether or not such Borrower has pledged, assigned or granted a security interest to Lender in any or all such sums as collateral for said obligations.

 

(c)                                  Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless for any loss, personal injury (including death), or damage to property, suffered by Lender, its employees or any of its agents in connection with its entry onto the premises of Borrowers or any third party hereunder.  Each of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents is in addition to all of its other rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under applicable law and nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be construed as limiting any such right or remedy.  Lender’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy available to Lender shall not constitute a waiver or otherwise affect or impair its rights to the future exercise of any such right, power or remedy.  Waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall not be a waiver by Lender of any other or subsequent Events of Default.

 

(d)                                 Borrowers shall notify Lender in writing of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement promptly after such Event of Default has occurred, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter.

 

14.                               General Indemnification.  Borrowers shall pay, and shall indemnify and hold Lender, its directors, officers, agents, employees, successors and assigns (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless on an after-tax basis from and against, any and all liabilities, causes of action, claims, suits, penalties, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), obligations, liabilities, demands and judgments, and Liens, of any nature whatsoever (collectively, a “Liability”) arising out of or in any way related to: (a) the Loan Documents, (b) the manufacture, purchase, ownership, title, selection, acceptance, rejection, possession, lease, sublease, operation, use, maintenance, documenting, inspection, control, loss, damage, destruction, removal, storage, surrender, sale, use, condition, delivery, nondelivery, return or other disposition of or any other matter relating to any Item of Equipment or any part or portion thereof (including, in each case and without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable, any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement) and any and all Liabilities in any way relating to or arising out of injury to persons, properties or the environment or any and all Liabilities based on strict liability in tort, negligence, breach of warranties or violations of any regulatory law or requirement, (c) a failure to comply fully with applicable law and (d) Borrowers’ failure to perform any covenant, or Borrowers’ breach of any representation or warranty, hereunder; provided, that the foregoing indemnity shall not extend to the Liabilities to the extent resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee.

 

10

 

15.                               No Reduction.  All payments due to the Lender under the Loan Documents, and all other terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed and performed by Borrowers thereunder, shall be made, observed or performed by Borrowers without any reduction or deduction whatsoever, including any reduction or deduction for any set-off, recoupment, counterclaim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) or for any tax, levy or impost.

 

16.                               Power of Attorney and Filing Authority.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file financing statements, either before or after an Advance and, if applicable, amendments and continuation statements, and execute in the name of such Borrower any other documents, including applications for or transfers of title, that Lender may reasonably deem necessary to perfect and maintain Lender’s interest in the Equipment, to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and to fully consummate all transactions contemplated under this Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints, with an interest, Lender as true and lawful attorney with power to sign the name of such Borrower on any such documents.  Each Borrower agrees promptly to execute and deliver to Lender such further documents or other assurances, and to take such further action, as Lender may from time to time reasonably request.  Lender shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name of such Borrower any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Collateral, and each Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of any instrument so endorsed.  All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done with gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid.

 

17.                               Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns.  No Borrower shall sublease or otherwise relinquish possession of any Equipment, or assign, transfer or encumber its rights, interest or obligation hereunder.  Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant any interest in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s rights and obligations in, under and to this Agreement, any Note, any one or more of the Loan Documents, in the Equipment and/or the Obligations, at any time and from time to time.  Each Borrower will fully cooperate with Lender in connection with any such conveyance and will execute and deliver such consents and acceptances to any such conveyance, amendments to this Agreement in order to effect any such conveyance (including, without limitation, the appointment of Lender as agent for itself and all assignees) and new or replacement promissory notes for any Note (in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Lender’s Commitment) in conjunction with any such conveyance.

 

18.                               Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                 Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, incurred by Lender in the preparation, negotiation, execution and enforcement of the Loan Documents, perfection of security interests, payment of any obligations of Borrowers required to be performed under this Agreement (including without limitation, taxes and assessments with respect to any Collateral), enforcement of any terms, conditions or provisions hereof and protection of Lender’s rights hereunder.  If Borrowers fail to reimburse Lender for any such costs and expenses within thirty (30) days of invoice, interest shall accrue at the Default Rate on the unpaid balance thereof.

 

(b)                                 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.  Any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Hamilton County, Ohio and each of the parties hereto (i) accepts the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and any related appellate court and agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered by any such court in connection with any such proceeding and (ii) waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.  EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

MASTER LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS AMENDMENT dated as of September 23, 2014 amends that certain Master Loan and Security Agreement dated as of August 31, 2009 between FIFTH THIRD BANK, as Lender, and STELLARIS LLC, as Borrower (the “Master Loan”).  Unless otherwise specified herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Loan.

 

WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower seek to enter into additional financing transactions under the Master Loan, and have determined that amending the Master Loan will be mutually beneficial to each party; and

 

WHEREAS, Borrower is affiliated with PRIMORIS SERVICES CORPORATION and, as such, shall be benefited directly by the transaction(s) contemplated by the “Primoris Loan Documents” (as hereinafter defined), and has agreed to pledge the Collateral under this Master Loan as additional collateral under the Primoris Loan Documents,

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Master Loan will be amended to modify and/or add the following language:

 

1.                                      Section 3(d) is hereby added to the Master Loan to read as follows:

 

“(d) Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in the Collateral, to further secure the payment and performance of all indebtedness and obligations of Primoris Loan Documents to Lender under that certain Master Loan and Security Agreement dated September 19, 2014 by and between Fifth Third Bank and Primoris Services Corporation and other documents relating thereto (and any renewals, extensions and modifications thereof) and under any other agreement or instrument (as the same may be renewed, extended or modified) both now in existence and hereafter created, by and between Primoris Services Corporation and Lender, and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Primoris Loan Documents”.

 

2.                                      Subsection 13(a)(vii) of Events of Default and Remedies section 13, shall be deleted and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

 

“(vii) a default shall have occurred and be continuing under any contract, agreement or document between (x) Borrower or any Guarantor or Primoris Services Corporation and (y) Lender or any affiliate of Lender;”

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lender and Borrower have executed this Amendment as of the date first above written.
