II.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and receive requests for extensions of credit subject to this Agreement, each Borrower hereby represents, warrants and confirms to the Banks as follows:

1.            Corporate Existence and Authority. Each Borrower is duly incorporated and are in good standing under the laws of its respective state of incorporation; has all necessary permits, licenses and franchises to enable it to conduct its respective business; and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction where the ownership of its respective property or the nature of its respective business requires qualification except where there would be no material adverse effect if any Borrower were not so qualified. Each Borrower is duly authorized by all required corporate action to execute and deliver this Agreement, to borrow monies from the Banks and to execute and deliver notes evidencing such borrowings in the
form of Exhibits A, B and C hereto. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and of any notes evidencing any borrowings from the Banks do not and will not conflict with (i) any provision of law or any order of any court or government agency applicable to any Borrower to the extent a conflict with any such law or order would have a material adverse effect on such Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the charter or bylaws of each Borrower or (iii) any material agreement binding upon it or upon its properties and do not or will not result in or require the creation of any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to its properties, except as contemplated by this Agreement.

2.            Performance of Other Agreements. No Borrower is a party to any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument, nor is it subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which materially affects the operation of its business in any adverse manner, and to each Borrower’s knowledge it is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any 

 

10

 

material covenant or obligation contained in any indenture, agreement, lease or other instrument to which it is a party.

3.            Tax Liabilities. Other than tax liabilities, regardless of whether disputed, which have been adequately reserved for by the Borrowers, no tax liabilities have been asserted against any Borrower by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental body, nor does any Borrower believe that any tax liabilities will be asserted against it by the Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental body which, if adversely determined, would have a materially adverse effect on its condition, financial or otherwise.

4.            Litigation. Except as previously disclosed to the Banks, to each Borrower’s Knowledge there is no action, suit or proceeding (i) in any tribunal, whether at law or in equity, or (ii) by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency, whether such action, suit or proceeding be pending or threatened against any Borrower or affecting any Borrower, or any of its assets or property which, if adversely determined, would have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or would otherwise adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.            Liens and Encumbrances. None of the property of any Borrower is subject to any lien or encumbrance except in favor of the Banks or, in the case of its Subsidiaries, in favor of Pioneer as assigned to the Agent Bank for the benefit of all of the Banks, and except for current taxes not delinquent and involuntary liens, if any, on tangible personal property which have been adequately reserved for by the Borrowers.

6.            Records. The books and records of the Borrowers are located at Pioneer’s business offices, the current address of which is 4700 Belleview, Suite 300, Kansas City, Missouri  64112.

7.            Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement and all notes and other documents referred to herein, when executed and delivered to the Banks, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with the respective terms thereof, subject, however, to the provisions of all laws governing bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by the unavailability of specific performance or other equitable remedies.

8.            Debt Ranking. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and under all notes executed by the Borrowers in favor of the Banks, whether now or hereafter existing, are superior in rank to all Subordinated Debt of any Borrower and to the rights pertaining to all capital stock of each Borrower.

9.            Regulation U. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all borrowings which may occur in connection herewith will not create a violation of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

10.          ERISA. To each Borrower’s knowledge, no prohibited transaction, accumulated funding deficiency or reportable event has occurred with respect to any plan to which it is a party and which is covered by Title IV of ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended). The present value of all benefits vested under all such plans maintained by the Borrowers did not, as of the last annual valuation date, exceed the value of the assets of all such plans allocable to such vested benefits. No Borrower participates in any multiemployer plans or, to the best knowledge of each Borrower, is subject to any delinquent liability under ERISA in respect to any multiemployer plan or any other plan.

III.      EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT

1.            Term. Upon the Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, restate and replace the Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement among Pioneer and the Banks dated as of 

 

12

 

March 1, 1996, as amended, restated, replaced and modified through October 1, 2003 (the “Prior Agreement”), and from and after the Effective Date all references in any other instruments, documents or agreements related to the Prior Agreement, the “Senior Lending Agreement” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Prior Agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall terminate on October 1, 2008, unless otherwise extended as provided herein; provided, however, the terms and provisions of Articles I, II, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII and XIV shall remain in full force and effect until all Senior Debt is paid in full. Unless any of the Banks gives written notice of its objection to the other Banks and to the Borrowers prior to June 30 of
any calendar year, the term of this Agreement shall be automatically extended to October 1 of the year immediately succeeding the year this Agreement would otherwise terminate The Agent Bank shall upon request of any Bank, give annual written notices to such Bank at least twenty (20) days prior  to June 30 of such Bank’s requirement to give written notice of its objection if it intends to object to the automatic extension. In the event of any such objection, the then-existing term of this Agreement shall terminate on the last day thereof unless reaffirmed in writing by all of the non-objecting Banks and all Senior Debt payable to the objecting Bank shall, subject to Section III 6 hereof, be payable by the Borrowers in accordance with the stated maturity in the note or notes evidencing such Senior Debt. Upon any such termination all Senior Debt shall be payable by the Borrowers in accordance with the maturity stated in the note or notes evidencing such Senior Debt. In the event
all Senior Debt has not been paid in full prior to the termination of this Agreement, all terms and conditions hereof except Sections III and IV hereof shall remain in full force and effect until all Senior Debt is paid in full; provided, however, that after the termination date and through the date all Senior Debt is 

 

13

 

paid in full, any of the Banks may, in their sole discretion, extend unsecured Subordinated Debt and only unsecured Subordinated Debt to the Borrowers on such terms as any of the Banks may determine and, provided, further, that this sentence of this Section III shall also remain in full force and effect.

The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to all of the Banks if all Senior Debt is paid in full at the same time on or within ten (10) days following the last day of such thirty (30) day notice period.

2.            Credit Facilities. From time to time during the term hereof, the Borrowers may submit to any of the Banks a request for extensions of credit to be evidenced by a Revolving Grid Note, an Amortizing Note, or a Single Pay Term Note. Such requests for credit may be made verbally or in writing. Upon receipt of any such request by any of the Banks, the Bank receiving such request shall, if it desires to submit verbally or in writing an offer to, extend credit to the Borrowers. None of the Banks have any commitment to extend any credit requested by Pioneer and any offer by any of the Banks to extend credit to the Borrowers pursuant to a request shall be in the sole discretion of the Banks. In the event any Bank to which a request for credit
is made by the Borrowers fails to submit an offer to extend credit within five (5) Business Days following the request, the request shall be deemed to be denied. Upon acceptance by the Borrowers of any offer of an extension of credit, the extension of any such credit, and all terms thereof, shall become a part of and be subject in all respects to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. If requested by the Borrowers, the Banks agree to confirm in writing as of the date of each Quarterly Certificate, the amount and terms of all credit which is available to the Borrowers, subject to the absolute discretion of the Banks, pursuant to Credit Facility Letters which have been delivered to the Borrowers by the Banks.

 

14

 

The terms of this paragraph 2 of Section III of this Agreement shall not in any way limit the obligation of the Banks pursuant to paragraph 4 of Section X hereof to renew certain existing indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Banks in the event of failure to give the notice required by paragraph 1 of Section X hereof.

3.            Note Pricing. All Revolving Grid Notes shall bear interest per annum at the prime rate of interest as reported from time to time under Money Rates in the Wall Street Journal, adjusted daily; provided, however, the Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to increase such rate of interest in response to changing market conditions so long as the rate of interest on all existing Senior Debt which is payable to any Bank and which is evidenced by a Revolving Grid Note also is increased to this new rate.

All Amortizing Notes shall bear interest per annum at a rate, calculated by reference to data obtained from Bloomberg (or in the event Bloomberg is unavailable for any reason, an equivalent data service recommended by the Borrowers which is acceptable to the Required Banks), equal to the ninety (90) day moving average rate of Treasury Notes with maturities specified at the time of the extension of credit plus 270 basis points; provided, however, the Borrowers shall have the right from time to time to increase the number of basis points in response to changing market conditions so long as no increase in the number of basis points is agreed upon within thirty (30) days following an extension of credit pursuant hereto by any Bank which is evidenced by an Amortizing Note bearing an interest rate calculated using a lower number of basis points.

All Single Pay Term Notes shall bear interest per annum at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Bank extending credit to be evidenced by a Single Pay Term Note.

 

15

 

4.            Credit Facility Letters. As of March 31 of each calendar year commencing on March 31, 2008, each Bank which is a party hereto shall, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a Credit Facility Letter therein indicating the maximum amount of each type of credit referred to therein which each Bank may be willing to extend to the Borrowers during the next twelve (12) calendar months. Delivery of a Credit Facility Letter to the Borrowers by any Bank shall not obligate or commit such Bank in any way to extend any credit referred to therein to the Borrowers.

5.            Notes and Other Documents to Continue. Notwithstanding the execution hereof, all notes and other documents executed pursuant or subject to the Prior Agreement which have not matured or terminated according to their respective terms on or prior to the Effective Date shall, except to the extent expressly amended by this Agreement, continue in full force and effect beyond the Effective Date and any extensions of the term hereof, if any, until their respective stated maturities.

6.            When a Bank states or indicates, in a Credit Facility Letter by declining a loan request from the Borrowers, or otherwise, that it will not make any future loans to the Borrowers under this Agreement (the “Withdrawing Bank”), the Borrowers, with the prior written consent of all Banks other than the Withdrawing Bank, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, may thereafter pay, without any penalty or premium, all or any portion of the Senior Debt outstanding to the Withdrawing Bank, notwithstanding any requirement to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any Revolving Grid Note, Amortizing Note or Single Pay Term Note, or in any other related instrument, document or agreement.

IV.      CONDITIONS TO EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT

No discretionary extension of credit to Pioneer pursuant to any Credit Facility Letter which has been accepted by the Borrowers shall be made by any Bank on or after the Effective 

 

16

V.      NEGATIVE PLEDGE, COLLATERAL AND CONDITIONAL COLLATERAL

1.            Negative Pledge. Each Borrower agrees that, at all times while there is any Senior Debt payable to any of the Banks by the Borrowers, it will not pledge any of its assets to any person or entity other than the Banks except that any of the Borrowers which are Subsidiaries may pledge any of their assets to Pioneer. 

 

18

 

2.            Collateral:  Notes. Pioneer hereby grants to all of the Banks a security interest in all notes payable to Pioneer by any and all of its Subsidiaries now or at any time hereafter in the form of the Subsidiary Revolving Grid Note or otherwise and each of its Subsidiaries, now existing and hereafter acquired or created, except Pioneer Military Insurance Company, hereby grants to the Banks a security interest in all notes payable to such Subsidiaries by their customers and will execute a Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit P attached hereto.

Upon execution hereof, Pioneer will deliver to the Agent Bank possession of all existing notes payable by any and all of its Subsidiaries to it and within three (3) days after the future execution of any note payable by any Subsidiary to Pioneer it will deliver possession of the same to the Agent Bank. All notes payable to Pioneer by its Subsidiaries shall be endorsed in blank when delivered to the Agent Bank by Pioneer. The Banks agree that they will not, prior to the declaration of a default hereunder, demand payment, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, of any note in the possession of the Agent Bank which is payable to Pioneer by any of its Subsidiaries because any such note is payable on demand.

Pioneer also hereby assigns to all of the Banks, and grants to all of the Banks a security interest in all of its rights under that certain Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement in the form of Exhibit J attached hereto between Pioneer and each of its Subsidiaries, except Pioneer Military Insurance Company, dated the Effective Date, to directly receive from each of such Subsidiaries the proceeds of all note payments receivable by its Subsidiaries from their customers. 

The Banks further agree to forbear exercise of the rights under each such Security Agreement and each such Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement unless and 

 

19

 

until the Borrowers receive notice from any Bank declaring any Borrower to be in default hereunder because of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

3.            Conditional Collateral:  Stock. As of the time any Bank declares any Borrower to be (a) nonperforming under this Agreement because of the occurrence of a Performance Event or (b) in default because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Pioneer hereby grants to the Banks a security interest in all shares of the capital stock, whether now or hereafter issued and outstanding, of each of its Subsidiaries listed on Exhibit D attached hereto and all other operating subsidiaries which may hereafter be acquired or come into existence and at that time, upon request of the Banks, Pioneer agrees to deliver, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of a notice declaring nonperformance, to the Agent Bank all stock certificates
evidencing all such shares with stock powers attached endorsed in blank. Such security interest shall attach to said shares of stock upon delivery of certificates evidencing the same to the Agent Bank. The Banks agree to forbear exercising any rights or remedies which they may have in connection with their security interest in all such capital stock unless and until any Bank declares any Borrower to be in default hereunder because of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

4.            Collection of Collateral. In the event the Banks are entitled to collect payment of notes payable to any Borrower except Pioneer, the Banks agree that they will exercise good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to collect payment of such notes; provided, however, the Banks shall have no obligation to pursue collection of any note which is delinquent by recency of payment by two hundred seventy (270) calendar days or more.

5.            Release of Stock. If any audit of the Borrower’s financial statements, or other certification deemed acceptable by the Banks which is issued by independent certified public accounts, discloses that the Performance Event or Events which caused Pioneer to previously 

 

20

 

deliver to the Banks the stock described in Section V(3) hereof no longer exist as of the last day of the period covered by such audited financial statements nor at the time of delivery of such audited financial statements to the Banks, and the Borrowers certify in writing to the Banks that no Borrower is then in default under the terms of this Agreement and that no Performance Event has occurred and is then continuing, the Banks shall redeliver possession of such certificates evidencing such stock to Pioneer. In the event of any such redelivery, the Banks shall have the right to possession of such stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at any time and from time to time thereafter upon the future occurrence of any Performance Event or Event of Default.

VI.      PERFORMANCE EVENT

In the event of the occurrence of a Performance Event and any Bank, after satisfying all requirements stated in paragraph 2 of Section X of this Agreement with respect to all other Banks which are a party hereto, then exercises its right to declare the Borrowers to be nonperforming under the terms of this Agreement, each Borrower agrees that the Banks shall then and thereafter have the right to receive eighty percent (80%) of all funds received by or under the control of any Borrower which are proceeds of notes payable to any Borrower except Pioneer. Upon receipt of written notice from the Agent Bank, the Borrowers will immediately commence and continue depositing on the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month eighty percent (80%) of all funds received by or under the control of any Borrowers which are proceeds of notes payable by customers to any Borrower
except Pioneer, to an account at the Agent Bank established ratably for the benefit of all Banks which are parties to this Agreement.

The ratable amount payable to each Bank from funds payable for the ratable benefit of all Banks in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be calculated by multiplying the total amount payable for the benefit of all Banks by a fraction, the 

 

21

 

numerator of which shall equal the total outstanding principal indebtedness to such Bank, regardless of the stated maturity date or dates, evidenced by Secured Revolving Grid Notes, Secured Amortizing Notes and Secured Single Pay Term Notes and the denominator of which shall equal the total outstanding principal indebtedness to all Banks, regardless of the stated maturity date or dates, evidenced by Secured Revolving Grid Notes, Secured Amortizing Notes and Secured Single Pay Term Notes.

In the event MidCountry Bank commences performing, and during the period MidCountry Bank performs, loan maintenance and collection services for the Banks pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, or any successor agreement thereto, and during any period when any person or entity other than MidCountry Bank or any Borrower performs loan maintenance and collection services for the Banks, the amount of eighty percent (80%) as set forth above in this Section VI shall be increased to one hundred percent (100%) and the fees set forth in such Section 8(a) shall apply.

VII.      AGENT BANK

1.            Agent. Upon execution of this Agreement, if not already established, the Agent Bank agrees to establish an account for the benefit of all of the Banks which are parties to this Agreement to be used for the deposit of funds for the benefit of all of the Banks pursuant to this paragraph of this Agreement.

(a)          If the Banks have the right to receive eighty percent (80%) of all funds received by or under control of any Borrowers pursuant to Section VI hereof, the Borrowers shall transfer on the fifth (5th) Business Day of each month eighty percent (80%) of all such proceeds to an account established at the Agent Bank for the benefit ratably of all of the Banks which are parties hereto.

 

22

 

(b)          If, because of the declaration of an Event of Default, the Banks are permitted to direct that all proceeds of all notes payable to any Borrower, except Pioneer, by their customers be paid to an account designated by and subject to the exclusive control of the Banks, the Agent Bank shall take possession of all such notes and collect all payments and take such other actions as the Banks may direct, all ratably for the pro rata benefit of the Banks.

2.            Required Banks Rule. The Agent Bank shall follow all written directions from the Required Banks with respect to collection and disposition of funds deposited in the account established by it for the benefit of the Banks and collection of collateral so long as such instructions are for the ratable benefit of all Banks. In the event the Required Banks do not approve any written instruction, the Agent Bank shall use its own discretion in the collection and disposition of funds deposited into such account and the collection of collateral. In all cases other than the collection and disposition of funds and collection of collateral covered by this paragraph 2 of Section VII and except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Required Banks must approve all instructions to the Agent and, subject to Section XI 1 hereof, amendments to this Agreement.

3.            Change of Agent. The Agent Bank may be changed upon thirty (30) Business Days prior notice to the then Agent Bank at any time or from time to time upon the written agreement of the Required Banks at the time of any such designation.

4.            Indemnity. All of the Banks, on a pro rata basis to the extent of each of the Bank’s percentage interest in the total principal amount of all Senior Debt except Senior Debt listed on Exhibit K and except Senior Debt payable to Pioneer Financial Industries, Inc., shall indemnify the Agent Bank and hold it harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense whatsoever in 

 

23

 

connection with its performance as the agent of the Banks hereunder except in the event of the Agent Bank’s gross negligence or its willful misconduct.

5.            Agent Bank Fee. On the date hereof and on each anniversary hereof thereafter, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent Bank an Agent Bank Fee in the amount of Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($17,500.00).

VIII.      COVENANTS OF THE BORROWERS

Each Borrower covenants and agrees from the date hereof and until payment in full of all indebtedness evidenced by any note in the form of Exhibits A, B or C attached hereto, that each Borrower, to the extent applicable, assumes the obligations set forth below:

1.            Mergers. No Borrower will, without the prior written consent of the Banks, be a party to any merger, consolidation or other combination of any kind with any other person or business entity nor will any Borrower, without the prior written consent of the Required Banks, acquire all or any significant portion of all of the assets of any other person or business entity nor will any Borrower, without the prior written consent of the Required Banks, dispose of all or any significant portion of its respective assets; provided, however, this provision shall not prohibit any Borrower from merging any one or all into one or more of others nor shall it prohibit any Borrower from selling to or acquiring from third parties substantial blocks of
notes receivable in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrowers in a manner consistent with past practices; and, provided, further, that so long as Thomas H. Holcom, Jr. is the highest ranking officer in the surviving company of a merger, consolidation or other combination, Pioneer shall not be prohibited from effectuating any such merger, consolidation or other combination.

The acquisition by MCFC of all of the outstanding capital stock of PFI, any accompanying restructuring, merging or dissolution of existing Subsidiaries and creation of new subsidiaries and execution of that certain Loan Sale and Master Services Agreement, a copy of 

 

24

 

which is attached hereto as Exhibit L, and that certain Subordination Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit M, shall not be a breach of this Section VIII.1. or any other section of this Agreement.

2.            Nonconforming Debt. No Borrower will incur, create or permit to exist any indebtedness except (a) Senior Debt, (b) those specific unsecured debt obligations listed in Exhibit K attached hereto, (c) Subordinated Debt and (d) trade payables and leases incurred in the ordinary course of business.

3.            Indebtedness of Subsidiaries. Pioneer will not allow any other Borrower to incur, create or permit to exist indebtedness to any person or entity other than Pioneer and the Banks except for trade payables and lease obligations for real estate, fixtures and equipment incurred in the ordinary course of each of such Borrower’s respective business; and provided further that the aggregate of all such indebtedness, excluding real property lease obligations, to persons and entities other than Pioneer for each branch office location of each other Borrower shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) at any time.

4.            Senior Debt/Tangible Net Worth Ratio. The Borrowers will at no time permit their Senior Debt to exceed 4.75 times their Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

5.            Total Required Capital. At all times the Borrowers will maintain Consolidated Total Required Capital of at least Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) plus fifty percent (50%) of the cumulative positive net income earned by the Borrowers for each of their fiscal years ending subsequent to September 30, 2006. Any part of the fifty percent (50%) of positive net income not distributed by Pioneer as a dividend for any fiscal year within one hundred twenty (120) days after the last day of such fiscal year shall also be added to Consolidated Total Required Capital and may not at any time thereafter be distributed as a dividend or otherwise. No part of the 

 

25

 

Consolidated Total Required Capital calculated as of May 31, 2007 of the Borrowers in excess of Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000) existing as of the date hereof may be distributed as a dividend.

6.            Senior Debt/Net Receivable Ratio. The Borrowers will at no time permit the ratio of Senior Debt to all Consolidated Net Receivables to exceed .80 to 1.

7.            Loan Loss Reserve. The Borrowers agree that they will maintain at all times a loan loss reserve in an amount which is equal to or greater than the loan loss reserve shown on their audited financial statements as of the end of their most recent fiscal year and at no time shall the loan loss reserve be less than three percent (3%) of the Consolidated Net Receivables.

8.            Quarterly Certificate/Compliance Certificate. The Borrowers agree to deliver to all of the Banks within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of each calendar quarter a completed Quarterly Certificate and a completed Compliance Certificate, such certificates being certified by an authorized officer of the Borrowers.

9.            Redemptions/Guarantees/Advances. Pioneer will not make any distribution of assets to its shareholder except payments of dividends declared in the ordinary course of business which do not create the occurrence of a Performance Event or an Event of Default hereunder nor will it purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any shares of its stock; no Borrower will make or guarantee any loan or advance to any person or entity except to another Borrower, and except to officers or employees of Borrowers in an amount not exceeding Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in the aggregate except for reasonable compensation for services performed or expenses incurred in the ordinary course of the Borrowers’ business. 

10.          Compliance With Laws. Each Borrower will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority which has 

 

26

 

jurisdiction over it if noncompliance with any such law, rule, regulation or order would have a material adverse affect on each Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

11.          Service Charges. The Borrowers will not make any payment to MCFC in any fiscal year for services performed or reasonable expenses incurred in an aggregate amount greater than Seven Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($700,000.00) plus reimbursable expenses; provided, however, such amount may be increased on each anniversary of this Agreement by a percentage amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index published by the United States Bureau of Labor for the calendar year then most recently ended.

12.          Net Income. The Borrowers shall not have a negative consolidated net income for any fiscal year with such net income to be tested as of September 30 of each year for the twelve (12) month period then ended.

IX.      FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1.            Information. The Borrowers agree to provide to all of the Banks all of the following during the term of this Agreement:

(a)          Quarterly financial statements, in the form used by Pioneer under the Prior Agreement, within thirty (30) calendar days after the last Business Day of each calendar quarter. Said financial statements shall contain at a minimum a balance sheet, an income statement and a Quarterly Certificate. The quarterly financial statements referred to in this Section IX.1 are the financial statements which will be used to test the financial covenants in Section VIII hereof.

(b)          Audited financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, such statements to be prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to the Required Banks, an annual 

 

27

management letter prepared by such independent certified public accounting firm, and a direct cash lending questionnaire in a form consistent with industry standards, all of which is to be delivered to the Banks within ninety (90) calendar days after the last business day of its fiscal year.

(c)          Projected financial statements for each fiscal year not later than thirty (30) calendar days following the first Business Day of each fiscal year.

(d)          Such other information as the Banks may reasonably request at any time and from time to time.

2.            Inspection Rights. Each Borrower further agrees to reasonably permit from time to time agents or representatives of each of the Banks to examine their books and records and to visit all business locations of each Borrower and discuss its respective business and financial affairs with any of its officers or employees; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to make available any information, the disclosure of which would otherwise cause it to be in violation of any law unless the Banks, or their agents or representatives, execute a confidentiality agreement in a form which would enable such Borrower to legally disclose any such information to the Banks.

X.       AGREEMENT AMONG BANKS

1.            Default Following Nonperformance. After any Borrower has been declared to be nonperforming because of the occurrence of a Performance Event, all of the Banks agree that no Bank which is a party hereto may declare any Borrower to be in default other than as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default listed in paragraphs 15(a), 15(c), 15(e) or 15(g) of Section I hereof for at least one hundred twenty (120) Business Days unless the Required Banks waive such prior notice requirement.

 

28

 

	
             
  	
            2.
 	
            Declaration of Intentions
 

(a)          Prior to declaring any Borrower to be nonperforming or in default under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise demanding payment of any Senior Debt, any Bank which is a party hereto shall give the Borrowers and all of the Banks which have extended Senior Debt to the Borrowers, ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of its intent to declare nonperformance or the occurrence of an Event of Default or make demand for payment.

(b)          Any Bank giving notice to the Borrowers and the other Banks pursuant to paragraph 2(a) of this Section X shall grant to all of the other Banks which are a party to this Agreement the right to purchase, on a pro rata basis, all Senior Debt of the Bank intending to declare nonperformance or a default or demand payment, such right to purchase Senior Debt to be available during the period of ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice. In the event any Bank receiving such notice of intent to declare nonperformance or a default or a demand of payment elects not to purchase its pro rata share of the Senior Debt with respect to which payment is to be demanded, the remaining Bank or Banks holding Senior Debt shall succeed, on a pro rata basis
between themselves, to the purchase rights of the Bank not desiring to purchase its pro rata portion of such Senior Debt. Any Bank purchasing any Senior Debt pursuant to this subparagraph shall be entitled to receive upon payment therefor in good funds all notes evidencing such purchased Senior Debt endorsed in blank and without recourse.

(c)          No Bank which is a party to this Agreement will, without the prior written consent of all of the Banks which are a party to this Agreement, seek collateral, other than as provided for herein, for all or any part of the Senior Debt nor will any Bank 

 

29

 

initiate any legal proceedings against any Borrower or affiliates without giving ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to all other Banks which are a party hereto. Any notice which may be given pursuant to this paragraph may be given concurrently with any other notice which may be given pursuant to this paragraph.

3.            All Credit to Conform. All of the Banks which are parties to this Agreement agree not to extend any credit to the Borrowers unless such credit is extended in conformity with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and, if prior to termination hereof, is evidenced by a note in the form of Exhibit A, B or C attached hereto.

4.            Renewal Obligation. All of the Banks agree that in the event they do not advise all of the other Banks and the Borrowers of their intent not to renew indebtedness of the Borrowers evidenced by any Single Pay Term Note at least ninety (90) Business Days prior to the maturity of any such note, the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by any such note will be renewed on substantially the same terms as the existing note except for the interest rate payable thereon which may be adjusted to a current rate unless all other Banks which are a party to this Agreement and the Borrowers waive in writing, on a case-by-case basis, such ninety (90) day prior notice requirement.

XI.      AMENDMENT AND ADDITION OF OTHER BANKS

1.            Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in Section XI.2 hereof no provision hereof may be amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Banks; provided, however, that no such agreement shall:

(a)          change any terms of any Note outstanding pursuant hereto on the date of such amendment;

	
             
  	
            (b)
 	
            change the definition of “Required Banks;”
 

 

30

 

(c)          release any collateral for payment of notes issued hereunder or change any provision of Section V hereof;

	
             
  	
            (d)
 	
            change any provision of Sections VIII.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12 hereof;
 

	
             
  	
            (e)
 	
            change any provision of Section I.15 hereof; or
 

(f)           change the definition of “Performance Event” or any provision of Section VI hereof,

without the prior written consent of all Banks; provided further, that no such amendment shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent.

2.            Addition of Other Banks. The Borrowers shall be entitled to request that other banks or financial institutions become parties to this Agreement but shall not incur Senior Debt with any other bank or financial institution unless such bank or financial institution has become a party hereto. Any bank or financial institution may become a party hereto upon the request of the Borrowers so long as all of the following conditions are met:

(a)          Such new bank or financial institution must agree to all terms and conditions of this Agreement by execution and delivery to the Borrowers of an Amendment to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I. In the event any new bank or financial institution desires to receive an opinion of counsel as of the effective date when such new bank or financial institution is made a party hereto, the expense of such opinion must be borne by the new bank or financial institution.

(b)          The Borrowers must execute any amendment which has been executed by a new bank or other financial institution and deliver an original copy of the same to each Bank which is already then a party to this Agreement. Unless at least two (2) Banks 

 

31

 

which are parties hereto object in a written notice delivered to Pioneer within ten (10) Business Days of the objecting Banks’ receipt of the proposed amendment, the proposed amendment will automatically become effective and the new bank or financial institution will become a party hereto on the eleventh (11th) Business Day following the latest date of delivery of the proposed amendment to any of the Banks already a party hereto. Within three (3) Business Days following the effective date of any proposed amendment, Pioneer agrees to send written notice of such effectiveness to all Banks which are then parties to this Agreement.

3.            Increase of Total Senior Debt. The aggregate maximum principal amount of Senior Debt set forth in Credit Facility Letters issued annually by all Banks pursuant to Section III.4 hereof may not be increased by more than ten percent (10%) in the year for which such Credit Facility Letters are issued without the prior written consent of the Required Banks. Approval of the addition of a new bank or financial institution by the Required Banks pursuant to Section XI.2 above shall constitute approval of an increase in the principal amount of Senior Debt set forth in the above described Credit Facility Letters by the amount of credit which such new bank or financial institution has indicated it may make available to the Borrowers and which
has been disclosed to the Banks by the Borrowers.

XII.              ACCELERATION

In the event of the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default which are defined in paragraph 15 of Section I of this Agreement, and if any such Event of Default shall be continuing, any of the Banks may, after compliance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of Section X of this Agreement, declare the entire principal amount of all Senior Debt of the Borrowers owing to the declaring Bank, together with interest accrued thereon, to be immediately due and payable to the declaring Bank. Upon the declaration of any of the Banks of 

 

32

the occurrence of an Event of Default, after the declaring Bank has complied with the terms of paragraph 2 of Section X hereof, the Agent Bank shall (i) have the right, on behalf of all the Banks, to possession of all notes payable to all Borrowers except Pioneer by their respective customers and the right to direct that all proceeds of such notes be paid directly to an account designated by and subject to the exclusive control of the Banks at the Agent Bank and (ii) have access to and use of, all computer hardware and software and related records, instructions and manuals used by any Borrower in connection with the documenting, evidencing, listing, reporting and collecting of all notes receivable of customers of all Borrowers except Pioneer and an irrevocable Power of Attorney therefor is hereby granted to the Agent Bank. Upon the declaration of the occurrence of an Event of Default by any
of the Banks, the declaring Bank may proceed to enforce payment of all indebtedness of the Borrowers to it under this Agreement or otherwise and it may exercise any and all rights and remedies afforded to it by the Uniform Commercial Code of Missouri, as now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise possessed by it. Any Bank declaring any Borrower to be in default hereunder because of the occurrence of an Event of Default shall, after compliance with the notice requirements of paragraph 2(a) of Section X of this Agreement, give written notice of such declaration of default to all other Banks which are parties hereto.

XIII.            OPINION OF COUNSEL

If requested by the Agent Bank, upon (i) any Change of Control at any time hereafter in the ownership of Pioneer; (ii) any material change in the ownership or structure of any other Borrower; (iii) any material change in the lending procedures set forth herein; or (iv) any material change in the Collateral for the Senior Debt, the Borrowers agree to furnish to each of the Banks an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers in such form as the Agent Bank may reasonably request.

            $______________ and interest
 	
            ________________, _______
 

 

On Demand, for value received, each of the undersigned jointly and severally, promise to pay to _____________________________ (hereinafter called “Bank”) or to its order at its main office, in twelve (12) equal monthly principal payments, the principal sum of the lesser of: (i) __________________________________ dollars; or (ii) the unpaid principal amount of all advances made by Bank; together with interest on all principal amounts outstanding hereunder from time to time, from date(s) of disbursement(s) until paid, at the rate of the Bank’s ____________________ per annum (365 day year), adjusted daily, with all accrued interest payable monthly in arrears on the 10th day of each month. The first installment of principal shall commence on the 10th day of the month following 30 days after demand is made on Maker.

 

“Collateral” as used herein shall mean all notes payable to Maker by any and all of its Subsidiaries which are listed on Exhibit D attached to the Senior Lending Agreement described below and all other Subsidiaries as otherwise defined in said Agreement, and all payments due, instruments payable to and payment intangibles of such Subsidiaries from their customers and other assets which have been assigned to Maker by such Subsidiaries pursuant to an Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement dated ____________, 2007 or in which a security interest has been granted to UMB Bank, N.A., as agent, by such Subsidiaries pursuant to a Security Agreement dated ____________, 2007.

 

Each of the undersigned hereby grants to Bank a security interest in the Collateral for the payment of all amounts due under this note and for the payment of all other present and future obligations to the Bank incurred pursuant to the Senior Lending Agreement described below.

 

If any of said installments, or any part thereof, is not paid when due and remains unpaid after proper notice thereof is given by Bank to each of the undersigned, then the entire indebtedness then remaining unpaid shall, at the option of the holder hereof, and without notice of demand, become immediately due and payable, subject to the terms of the Senior Lending Agreement described below. Any amount not paid shall thereafter bear interest until paid at the rate hereinbefore specified, plus two percent per annum. Unless Bank, in its sole discretion, may from time to time otherwise direct, all payments shall be applied first to payment of accrued interest, and then to reduction of the principal sum due hereunder. Any part of the outstanding principal balance hereof may be paid prior to Demand without penalty, and if less than the principal sum stated above is
outstanding, the undersigned, may from time to time until Demand receive, but the Bank has no commitment to make, further disbursements hereunder; provided, however, the aggregate amount of all principal amounts outstanding hereunder shall at no time exceed the face amount of this note; and provided further, that each and every disbursement made under this Revolving Grid Note shall be at the Bank’s sole discretion. All advances made by Bank to the undersigned and all principal and interest payments thereon shall be recorded on the Schedule of Disbursements and Payments of Principal; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation shall not affect the obligation of each of the undersigned to repay the outstanding principal amount of, together with interest on, any advances made by the Bank to the undersigned pursuant to the Senior Lending Agreement described below; and Bank is hereby unilaterally authorized to make such notations thereon. The amounts recorded shall be
presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal balance of this Revolving Grid Note.

 

This Note is the “Note” referred to in the “Credit Facility Letter” dated ________________, _________, and is one of the Revolving Grid Notes referred to in the Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement dated as of ____________, 2007, among each of the undersigned, the Bank, and certain other financial institutions.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned, promise to pay to ____________________________ (herein the “Bank”), or order, on the Single Pay Term Note Expiry Date shown in the Credit Facility Letter described below, the principal amount of ___________________________________________($________________) or such lesser aggregate amount of advances as have been made by Bank pursuant to the Credit Facility Letter described below and which remain outstanding, which amount shall be due and payable in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Maker further promises to pay interest and principal when due, to the Bank at the Bank’s office located at _______________________ or such other office of the Bank as the Bank may direct in writing. 

Each of the undersigned further promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date hereof until paid in full at the rates and at the times as follows:

An advance will bear interest __________________________, as determined by the Bank (on the basis of a 365 day year), in its sole discretion for fixed periods selected by the Maker (but not to exceed the Expiry Date). Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the tenth day of each month, or on the date of any payment or part payment of any advance. Any amount which is not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest until paid in full at the Bank’s prime rate of interest plus two percent per annum.

“Collateral” as used herein shall mean all notes payable to Maker by any and all of its Subsidiaries which are listed on Exhibit D attached to the Senior Lending Agreement described below and all other Subsidiaries as otherwise defined in said Agreement, and all payments due, instruments payable to and payment intangibles of  such Subsidiaries from their customers and other assets which have been assigned to Maker by such Subsidiaries pursuant to an Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement dated ____________, 2007 or in which a security interest has been granted to UMB Bank, N.A., as agent, by such Subsidiaries pursuant to a Security Agreement dated ____________, 2007.

Each of the undersigned hereby grants to Bank a security interest in the Collateral for the payment of all amounts due under this note and for the payment of all other present and future obligations to the Bank incurred pursuant to the Senior Lending Agreement described below.

All advances made by the Bank to the undersigned pursuant to the Credit Facility Letter and all payments and prepayments made on account of the principal balance hereon may be recorded by the Bank on the schedule annexed hereto; provided, however, that the failure to make a notation shall not affect the obligation of each of the undersigned hereunder with respect to payments of principal or interest on this Note and provided, further, that Bank shall provide a written notice and photocopy of such notations simultaneously to Maker.

Each of the undersigned may only prepay an advance at the end of the applicable fixed period except as otherwise provided herein and except as otherwise provided under the provisions of paragraph 1 of Section III of the Amended and Restated Senior Lender Agreement dated as of ____________, 2007. In the event that the undersigned repays an advance on a day other than the last day of a fixed period, the undersigned shall promptly reimburse the Bank for all reasonably demonstrated losses and expenses incurred in liquidating or employing deposits obtained from third parties to make or maintain the advance or any part thereof. Amounts which are repaid may be re-borrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility Letter.

SUBSIDIARY REVOLVING GRID NOTE

	
            $______________________ and Interest
 	
            ____________________, _______
 

PAYMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS AND INTEREST

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned “Maker” promises to pay to the order of Pioneer Financial Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation, (hereinafter called “Lender”), at its main office, on demand, the principal sum of _______________________________ or such other lesser amount as shall be noted on the Schedule of Disbursements and Payments of Principal included herein or attached hereto pursuant to the authority set forth herein, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding from date(s) of disbursement(s) until paid, at the rate of nine percent per annum with all interest calculated and payable monthly in arrears, based on the month-end balance. Unless Lender, in its sole discretion, may from time to time otherwise direct, all payments shall be applied first to payment of accrued interest, and then to reduction of the principal sum due
hereunder. This note shall bear interest after maturity, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, at a rate of interest equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate stated above until paid in full, and such interest shall be compounded annually if not paid annually. Any part of the outstanding principal balance hereof may be paid prior to maturity and if less than the full amount due hereunder is paid, the undersigned may from time to time until maturity receive, but the Lender has no commitment to make, further disbursements hereunder; provided, however, the aggregate amount of all principal amounts outstanding hereunder shall at no time exceed the face amount of this Note; and provided further, that each and every disbursement made under this Subsidiary Revolving Grid Note shall be at the Lender’s sole discretion. In the event the undersigned pays any part of the principal balance hereof prior to maturity or, in accordance with the terms hereof, receives any
additional disbursements of principal hereunder, the principal amount due hereunder shall presumptively be the last amount stated to be the Unpaid Principal Balance of Note on the Schedule of Disbursements and Payments of Principal, and the undersigned hereby authorize(s) the Lender to make notations on the Schedule of Disbursements and Payments of Principal (or Lender’s computer-generated grid) from time to time to evidence payments and disbursements hereunder.

COLLATERAL

The term “Collateral” as used herein includes (but without limitation) all of the property listed below now owned and hereafter acquired, all proceeds and products thereof, and all accessions thereto.

Description of Collateral:  All cash, deposit accounts, notes receivable, accounts, accounts receivable, instruments, Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement, payment intangibles, reserve for loss and dealer reserve for loss.

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

The Maker hereby grants to Lender a security interest in the Collateral and pledges and assigns the Collateral to Lender for the payment of all amounts due under this Note, and all renewals and 

 

E-1

 

extensions thereof, and for the payment of all other present and future obligations to the holder, direct or contingent, secured or unsecured, whether or not due, of Maker (all of which amounts and obligations are hereinafter referred to as “Secured Obligations”), and Lender may accordingly retain the Collateral or any part thereof as security after the payment of all amounts due under this Note. The Maker agrees to give to Lender upon Lender’s request, from time to time, such other and further security as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate, such additional security to become “Collateral” under the provisions hereof.

RIGHTS RESPECTING COLLATERAL

After maturity, the holder may (1) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the holder hereof or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien and security interest hereunder; (2) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the holder hereof of any amounts due or to become due thereunder; (3) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness secured thereby; (4) take control of any proceeds of the Collateral; (5) endorse any Collateral in the name of Maker whenever, in the opinion of the holder, such endorsement may facilitate the handling of, or realization upon, the Collateral, and an irrevocable power of attorney therefor is hereby granted
to the holder hereof; however, any such action must comply fully with the Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement and the Senior Lending Agreement executed by Lender if holder is other than Lender.

The Maker hereby agrees to take any and all steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties and the holder hereof shall not be bound to take any such steps. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Maker shall not give, transfer, sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, or any interest therein, without Lender’s advance written consent.

ACCELERATION AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Without limitation on the demand maturity of this Note, the holder may, without demand or notice of any kind, declare this Note and any other of the Secured Obligations immediately due and payable in full at any time that the holder deems itself insecure for any reason whatsoever in respect of any Secured Obligation. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default: (1) failure of Maker to pay or perform any other obligation of the Maker; (2) dissolution of, or termination of existence of the Maker; (3) the failure of the Maker to pay debts as they mature; (4) appointment of a receiver of or for any part of the property of the Maker, an assignment for the benefit of creditors by the Maker; or the commencement of any proceedings under bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against the Maker then this Note and all other obligations of the Maker to the holder hereof shall immediately become due and
payable in full without notice or demand; provided, however, that all such actions must be in accordance with the Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement dated as of ____________, 2007, among Lender and certain Banks therein listed if holder is other than Lender.

MISSOURI LAW

The interpretation of this instrument and the rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri.

COLLECTION EXPENSES

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the undersigned agrees to pay all expenses of the holder in collecting this Note and enforcing rights respecting and realizing upon any of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

NO WAIVERS

Any failure by the holder hereof to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any other time and from time to time thereafter.

HEADINGS

All headings or titles appearing in this Note are used as a matter of convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of the provisions hereof.

ASSIGNMENT

Lender may assign this Note together with all Collateral and all rights hereunder without notice to or consent of the undersigned.

and from time to time hereafter, all promissory notes and other instruments payable to Assignor and all payment intangibles of Assignor. The acceptance of this Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement and the collection of the payments and obligations of Assignor’s customers shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Assignee to the Provisions of any note given by Assignor to Assignee or any other document given by Assignor to Assignee which evidences any obligation of Assignor to Assignee. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any note or other obligations of the Assignor to the Assignee, the Assignee, its successors or its assigns, may notify the customers of the Assignor which are obligated to make payments to the Assignor to make all such payments directly to the Assignee or to its successors or assigns, as the case may be. The Assignee, its successors and assigns, may enforce collection of any such payments by suit or otherwise and
surrender, release or exchange all or any part of, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness of such customers and an irrevocable power of attorney therefor is hereby granted to the Assignee and each of its successors and assigns.

Assignee, its successors and assigns, shall not in any way be responsible for the failure of the Assignor to perform any of the Assignor’s obligations to its customers and Assignor hereby agrees to hold Assignee and its successors and assigns harmless from any such obligations, none of which are accepted by Assignee, its successors and assigns.

Assignor will, upon the request of Assignee or its successors or assigns, execute any and all other instruments and documents and do all other things necessary to further carry these presents into effect, to perfect the security interests granted herein and to accomplish any other purpose necessary or appropriate in connection with this Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement.

The payment obligations of Assignor’s customers to it and any and all notes or other documents evidencing the same shall not at any time be sold, assigned, transferred or set over by Assignor nor shall Assignor at any time allow the same to become subject to any lien or encumbrance except a lien or encumbrance in favor of Assignee or its successors or assigns or the banks and financial institutions which are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement dated as of ____________, 2007, between the Assignee and such banks and financial institutions.

Upon request, Assignor agrees to deliver into the possession of Assignee all notes and other documents evidencing all obligations of its customers to Assignor. The enforcement and implementation, both presently and prospectively, of this Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement by Assignee, its successors and assigns, shall not, and Assignor hereby further covenants and agrees that the exercise of the rights of Assignee, its successors and assigns, under this Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement shall in no manner be dependent upon, affect, impair or restrict the rights of the Assignee, its successors and assigns, under any other document evidencing any obligations of Assignor to Assignee. This Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement, together with all of the covenants and warranties herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee, its successors and assigns, and
Assignee may unconditionally assign all of its rights under this Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement to any person or entity at any time without any prior notice to Assignor. Upon any assignment of the rights of Assignee hereunder to any person or 

 

J-1

 

entity, any such person or entity receiving the assignment of all of Assignee’s rights hereunder shall be entitled to unconditionally exercise all rights of Assignee hereunder and receive all benefits which Assignee was previously entitled to receive hereunder.

This Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 

This Assignment of Note Payments and Security Agreement shall be deemed to be made under and shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Missouri and Assignee shall have all of the rights of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect now or hereafter in the State of Missouri.

Neither party may sell,
assign or transfer its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement either in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void.

1.            Definitions. As used herein, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

“Borrower Default” means a default or event of default as defined in any agreement or instrument evidencing, governing, or issued in connection with the Senior Debt, under or pursuant to the SLA, as the same may hereafter be amended or supplemented from time to time.

“Collateral” means all collateral now or hereafter securing payment of the Senior Debt, including all proceeds thereof.

“Lien” means any security interest, pledge, lien, charge, encumbrance or analogous instrument or device, in, of or on any assets or properties of a person or entity, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether arising by agreement or operation of law.

“Senior Debt” means each and every debt, liability and obligation of every type and description which the Borrower may now or at any time hereafter owe to the Senior Lenders under or pursuant to the SLA, whether such debt, liability or obligation now exists or is hereafter created or incurred, and whether it is or may be direct or indirect, due or to become due, absolute or contingent, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, or joint, several or joint and 

 

M-1

 

several, all interest thereon, and all fees, costs and other charges related thereto (including all interest, fees, costs and other charges accruing after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower, whether or not allowed in such proceeding or other action), all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof and any notes issued in whole or partial substitution therefor. 

“Subordinated Indebtedness” means all obligations arising under the Subordinated Note and each and every other debt, liability and obligation of every type and description which the Borrower may now or at any time hereafter owe to the Subordinated Creditor, whether such debt, liability or obligation now exists or is hereafter created or incurred, and whether it is or may be direct or indirect, due or to become due, absolute or contingent, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, or joint, several or joint and several.

“Subordinated Note” means the Borrower’s Promissory Note, dated as of __________________, 2007, payable to the order of the Subordinated Creditor in the original principal amount of $__________, together with all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof and any note or notes issued in substitution therefor.

2.            Subordination. The payment of all of the Subordinated Indebtedness is hereby expressly subordinated to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth to the payment in full of the Senior Debt; and regardless of any priority otherwise available to the Subordinated Creditor by law or by agreement, the Senior Lenders shall hold a first priority Lien in the Collateral, and any Lien claimed therein by the Subordinated Creditor shall be and remain fully subordinate for all purposes to the Lien of the Senior Lenders therein for all purposes whatsoever. The Subordinated Indebtedness shall continue to be subordinated to the Senior Debt even if the Senior Debt is subordinated, avoided or disallowed under the United States Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law.

3.            Payments. Until all of the Senior Debt has been paid in full and the Senior Lenders have released their Lien in the Collateral, the Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the Senior Lenders’ prior written consent, demand, receive or accept any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) from the Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or exercise any right of or permit any setoff in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing under the SLA the Borrower may make regularly scheduled payments of interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness.

4.            Receipt of Prohibited Payments. If the Subordinated Creditor receives any payment on the Subordinated Indebtedness that the Subordinated Creditor is not entitled to receive under the provisions of this Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor will hold the amount so received in trust for the Senior Lenders and will forthwith turn over such payment to the Senior Lenders in the form received (except for the endorsement of the Subordinated Creditor where necessary) for application to then-existing Senior Debt (whether or not due), in such manner of application as the Senior Lenders may deem appropriate. If the Subordinated Creditor exercises any right of setoff which the Subordinated Creditor is not permitted to exercise under the provisions of this
Agreement, the Subordinated Creditor will promptly pay over to the Senior Lenders, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount of the claims or obligations offset. If the Subordinated Creditor fails to make any endorsement required under this Agreement, UMB Bank, N.A., acting as agent on behalf of the Senior Lenders, is hereby irrevocably appointed as the attorney-in-fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) for the Subordinated Creditor to make such endorsement in the Subordinated Creditor’s name.

 

M-2

 

5.            Action on Subordinated Indebtedness. The Subordinated Creditor will not commence any action or proceeding against the Borrower to recover all or any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or join with any creditor (unless the Senior Lenders shall so join) in bringing any proceeding against the Borrower under any bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment of debt, arrangement of debt receivership, liquidation or insolvency law or statute of the federal or any state government, or take possession of, sell, or dispose of any Collateral, or exercise or enforce any right or remedy available to the Subordinated Creditor with respect to any such Collateral, unless and until the Senior Debt has been paid in full and the Senior Lenders have released their Lien in
the Collateral.

	
             
 	
            6.
 	
            Action Concerning Collateral.
 

(a)          Notwithstanding any Lien now held or hereafter acquired by the Subordinated Creditor, the Senior Lenders may take possession of, sell, dispose of, and otherwise deal with all or any part of the Collateral, and may enforce any right or remedy available to them with respect to the Borrower or the Collateral, all without notice to or consent of the Subordinated Creditor except as specifically required by applicable law. This Section 6(a) does not and is not intended to authorize the Subordinated Creditor to hold any Lien on all or any part of the Collateral.

(b)          The Senior Lenders shall have no duty to preserve, protect, care for, insure, take possession of, collect, dispose of, or otherwise realize upon any of the Collateral, and in no event shall the Senior Lenders be deemed the Subordinated Creditor’s agent with respect to the Collateral. All proceeds received by the Senior Lenders with respect to any Collateral may be applied, first, to pay or reimburse the Senior Lenders for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Senior Lenders in connection with the collection of such proceeds, and, second, to any Senior Debt secured by the Senior Lenders’ Lien in that Collateral, in any order that it may choose.

7.            Bankruptcy and Insolvency. In the event of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or arrangement with creditors, whether or not pursuant to bankruptcy law, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, dissolution, liquidation or any other marshalling of the assets or liabilities of the Borrower, the Subordinated Creditor will file all claims, proofs of claim or other instruments of similar character necessary to enforce the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness and will hold in trust for the Senior Lenders and promptly pay over to the Senior Lenders in the form received (except for the endorsement of the Subordinated Creditor where
necessary) for application to the then-existing Senior Debt, any and all moneys, dividends or other assets received in any such proceedings on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness, unless and until the Senior Debt has been paid in full and the Senior Lenders’ Lien in the Collateral has been terminated. If the Subordinated Creditor shall fail to take any such action, UMB Bank, N.A., acting on behalf of the Senior Lenders, as attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Creditor, may take such action on the Subordinated Creditor’s behalf. The Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints UMB Bank, N.A., acting on behalf of the Senior Lenders, as the attorney-in-fact for the Subordinated Creditor (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with the power, but not the duty, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such moneys, dividends or other assets and give acquittance therefor and to file any claim, proof of claim or other instrument of similar character, to
vote claims comprising Subordinated Indebtedness to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension and to take such other action in the Senior Lenders’ own names or in the name of the Subordinated Creditor as UMB Bank, N.A., acting on 

 

M-3

 

behalf of the Senior Lenders, may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the agreements contained herein; and the Subordinated Creditor will execute and deliver to UMB Bank, N.A. such other and further powers-of-attorney or instruments as UMB Bank, N.A. may reasonably request in order to accomplish the foregoing. If the Senior Lenders desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide post-petition financing to the Borrower, the Subordinated Creditor shall not object to the same or assert that its interests are not being adequately protected.

8.            Restrictive Legend; Transfer of Subordinated Indebtedness. The Subordinated Creditor will cause the Subordinated Note and  all other notes, bonds, debentures or other instruments evidencing the Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof to contain a specific statement thereon to the effect that the indebtedness thereby evidenced is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and the Subordinated Creditor will mark its books conspicuously to evidence the subordination effected hereby. Attached hereto is a true and correct copy of the Subordinated Note bearing such legend. The Subordinated Creditor is the lawful holder of the Subordinated Note and has not transferred any interest therein to any other person. Without the prior written consent of the
Senior Lenders, the Subordinated Creditor will not assign, transfer or pledge to any other person any of the Subordinated Indebtedness or agree to a discharge or forgiveness of the same.

9.            Continuing Effect. This Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination, and the Senior Lenders may, without notice to or consent by the Subordinated Creditor, modify any term of the Senior Debt in reliance upon this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Senior Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Creditor and without incurring responsibility to the Subordinated Creditor or impairing or releasing any of the Senior Lenders’ rights or any of the Subordinated Creditor’s obligations hereunder:

	
             
 	
            (a)
 	
            increase or decrease the principal amount of the Senior Debt;
 

(b)          change the interest rate or change the amount of payment or extend the time for payment or renew or otherwise alter the terms of any Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same in any manner;

(c)          sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property at any time securing payment of the Senior Debt or any part thereof;

(d)          release anyone liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt or any part thereof;

(e)          exercise or refrain from exercising any right against the Borrower or any other person (including the Subordinated Creditor); and

(f)           apply any sums received by the Senior Lenders, by whomsoever paid and however realized, to the Senior Debt in such manner as the Senior Lenders shall deem appropriate.

The Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all right to require the marshalling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the Senior Lenders’ remedies permitted by applicable law or agreement.

10.          No Commitment. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to constitute or imply any commitment or obligation on the part of the Senior Lenders

to make any future loans or other extensions of credit or financial accommodations to the Borrower.

SECURITY AGREEMENT

This Security Agreement, is made as of this _____ day of ___________, 2007, by _______________________________ (“Assignor”) to UMB Bank, N.A. (“Assignee”) as Agent of all banks and financial institutions which are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement dated as of ___________, 2007 described below.

In consideration of the outstanding indebtedness of Assignor to Pioneer Financial Services, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (“Pioneer”) and future loans which may be made by Assignee or any Bank (as defined below) to Pioneer, some of the proceeds of which will be used to fund the operations of Assignor, this Security Agreement is made to Assignee, and its successors and assigns, as security for the payment of all loans made to Pioneer by Assignee and all other banks and financial institutions (the “Banks”) which are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Senior Lending Agreement dated as of _____________, 2007, by and among Pioneer, Assignee and the Banks, whether now or hereafter existing and for the performance and observance of all other obligations of Pioneer to the Assignee and the Banks now existing or hereafter created. Assignor does
hereby sell, assign, transfer and set over to Assignee, its successors and assigns, and the Banks and grant a security interest to Assignee, its successors and assigns and the Banks in all payments which are or may be due to Assignor from Assignor’s customers, whether or not any of such obligations are evidenced by a promissory note, together with all of Assignor’s rights to collect such payments at any time and from time to time hereafter, all promissory notes and other instruments payable to Assignor and all payment intangibles of Assignor, all cash, deposit accounts, notes receivable, accounts, accounts receivable, reserves for loss and dealer reserves for loss of Assignor. The acceptance of this Security Agreement and the collection of the payments and obligations of Assignor’s customers shall not constitute a waiver of any rights of the Assignee to the provisions of any note given by Assignor to Pioneer or any other document given by Assignor to Pioneer which
evidences any obligation of Assignor to Pioneer. After maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any note or other obligations of Pioneer to Assignee, the Assignee, its successors and its assigns, as Agent for the Banks, may notify the customers of the Assignor which are obligated to make payments to the Assignor to make all such payments directly to the Assignee or to its successors or assigns as the case may be. The Assignee, its successors and assigns, as Agent for the Banks, may enforce collection of any such payments by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part of, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness of such customers and an irrevocable power of attorney therefor is hereby granted to the Assignee and each of its successors and assigns, as Agent for the Banks.

Assignee, its successors and assigns, shall not in any way be responsible for the failure of the Assignor to perform any of the Assignor’s obligations to its customers and Assignor hereby agrees to hold Assignee and its successors and assigns harmless from any such obligations, none of which are accepted by Assignee, its successors and assigns.

Assignor will, upon the request of Assignee or its successors or assigns, execute any and all other instruments and documents and do all other things necessary to further carry these presents into effect, to perfect the security interests granted herein and to accomplish any other purpose necessary or appropriate in connection with this Security Agreement.

The payment obligations of Assignor’s customers to it and any and all notes or other documents evidencing the same shall not at any time be sold, assigned, transferred or set over by Assignor except to Pioneer, Assignee and its successors and assigns and the Banks nor shall Assignor at any time allow the same to become subject to any lien or encumbrance except a lien or encumbrance in favor of Assignee or its successors or assigns, Pioneer and the Banks.

Upon request, Assignor agrees to deliver into the possession of Assignee all notes and other documents evidencing all obligations of its customers to Assignor. The enforcement and implementation, both presently and prospectively, of this Security Agreement by Assignee, its successors and assigns, shall not, and Assignor hereby further covenants and agrees that the exercise of the rights of Assignee, its successors and assigns, under this Security Agreement shall in no manner be dependent upon, affect, impair or restrict the rights of the 

 

P-1

 

Assignee, its successors and assigns, under any other document evidencing any obligations of Assignor or Pioneer to Assignee and the Banks. This Security Agreement, together with all of the covenants and warranties herein contained, shall inure to the benefit of the Assignee, its successors and assigns, and the Banks, and Assignee may unconditionally assign all of its rights under this Security Agreement to any person or entity at any time without any prior notice to Assignor. Upon any assignment of the rights of Assignee hereunder to any person or entity, any such person or entity receiving the assignment of all of Assignee’s rights hereunder shall be entitled to unconditionally exercise all rights of Assignee hereunder and receive all benefits which Assignee was previously entitled to receive hereunder.
