b. Rights and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law) to or upon the Borrower or any other person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may exercise all rights and remedies under the Borrower’s agreements with the Bank, applicable law, in equity or otherwise and may declare all or any part of the Loan not payable on demand to be immediately due and payable without demand or notice of any kind and terminate any obligation it may have to grant any additional loan, credit or other financial accommodation to the Borrower. All or any part of the Loan whether or not payable on demand, shall be immediately due and payable automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in Section 6(a)(vi) above. The provisions hereof are not intended in any way to affect any rights of the Bank with respect to any Loan which may now or hereafter be payable on demand.

 

7.
EXPENSES. The Borrower shall within seven (7) business days of written notice pay to the Bank all reasonable costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of counsel retained for advice, suit, appeal or other proceedings or purpose and of any experts or agents it may retain), which the Bank may incur in connection with (i) the administration of the Loan, including any administrative fees the Bank may impose for the preparation of discharges, releases or assignments to third-parties; (ii) the enforcement and collection of the Loan or any guaranty thereof; (iii) the exercise, performance, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Bank hereunder; or (iv) the failure of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to perform or observe any provisions hereof. After such demand for payment of any cost, expense or fee under this Section or elsewhere under this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay interest at the highest default rate specified in any instrument evidencing any of the Loan from the date payment is demanded by the Bank to the date reimbursed by the Borrower. All such costs, expenses or fees under this Agreement shall be added to the Loan.

 

8.

Bank shall make one or more additional extensions of credit to Equipment Loan Borrower under the Equipment Loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed the maximum principal amount of the Equipment Loan to finance capital equipment expenditures, subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

CLB-106-VA (11/04) 6 © M&T Bank, 2004


 

 

(i)
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in subsection (iii) below, Bank shall make advances of principal under the Equipment Loan (each, an “Equipment Loan Advance”) to Equipment Loan Borrower from time to time until September 28, 2026 (the “Availability Period”); provided, however, that the principal amount of all outstanding Equipment Loan Advances shall not exceed the maximum principal amount of the Equipment Loan. The Equipment Loan shall be a revolving credit facility. Subject to all applicable provisions in this Agreement, each Term Note, and any and all other agreements between Equipment Loan Borrower and Bank related to the Equipment Loan, the Equipment Loan Borrower may borrow, pay, prepay and reborrow under the Equipment Loan at any time during the Availability Period, and any amount of principal that has been repaid under any Term Note may be reborrowed as an additional Equipment Loan Advance after such repayment. Equipment Loan Borrower may request Equipment Loan Advances not more than once per calendar quarter to reimburse Equipment Loan Borrower for equipment purchased in the preceding one hundred twenty (120) day period (or prior to such one hundred twenty (120) day period to the extent approved by PNC); and the preceding three hundred (300) day period for the initial Equipment Loan Advance after the date hereof; provided, however, that Equipment Loan Borrower may not request any Equipment Loan Advance in an amount less than $500,000.00.

 

(ii)
Each Equipment Loan Advance shall be evidenced by a separate term note (each, as modified, amended, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time, a “Term Note”) in the amount of each respective Equipment Loan Advance, made by all Equipment Loan Borrowers (jointly and severally as co-borrowers) payable to Bank in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Term Note shall (a) bear interest at a variable rate equal to 2.75% above the greater of (I) the Variable Loan Rate (as defined in the applicable Term Note), or (II) 0.00% (collectively, the “Equipment Loan Rate”), (b) be repaid in monthly payments of principal (calculated using an amortization period equal to the term of such Equipment Loan Advance) plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (c) mature on that date which is up to five (5) years after the date of the applicable Equipment Loan Advance memorialized thereby.

 

(iii)
Prior to the end of the Availability Period, Equipment Loan Borrower shall give Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each requested Equipment Loan Advance not less than ten (10) business days prior to the making of each Equipment Loan Advance requested. Each notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the principal amount of such Equipment Loan Advance (provided, however, that no Equipment Loan Advance shall exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of the Equipment Collateral financed thereby, as determined by Bank), as well as the proposed date of the closing of such Equipment Loan Advance. Upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, Bank will make the proceeds of each Equipment Loan Advance available to Equipment Loan Borrower on the date specified in the applicable notice by crediting an account maintained by Equipment Loan Borrower with Bank or, at Equipment Loan Borrower’s option, by delivering a wire transfer of such amount to an account designated by Equipment Loan Borrower to Bank: (1) no Event of Default, and no event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the Transaction Documents; (2) Equipment Loan Borrower shall have delivered to Bank such information as Bank may reasonably request with respect to the Equipment Collateral financed with the proceeds of such Equipment Loan Advance, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank; and (3) Equipment Loan Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Bank, or caused to be executed and delivered to Bank) (A) the Term Note evidencing such Equipment Loan Advance, (B) a modification, supplement and/or joinder to the Security Agreement executed and delivered by the applicable Equipment Loan Borrower granting a security interest to Bank in the Equipment Collateral financed thereby, and (C) such other documents and/or instruments as Bank shall reasonably require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Bank. In amplification of the foregoing, Equipment Loan Borrower authorizes (both prospectively and retroactively) Bank to file financing statements, and any continuations and amendments thereof, with respect to the Equipment Collateral financed with the proceeds of each Equipment Loan Advance, without Equipment Loan Borrower’s signature and at Equipment Loan Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

 

10.
USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE. Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (“Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower agrees to, promptly following a request by Bank, provide all such other documentation and information that Bank requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.

 

11.
MISCELLANEOUS.

 

a. Notices. Any demand or notice hereunder or under any applicable law pertaining hereto shall be in writing and duly given if delivered to Borrower (at its address on the Bank’s records) or to the Bank (at the address on page one and separately to the Bank officer responsible for Borrower’s relationship with the Bank). Such notice or demand shall be deemed sufficiently given for all purposes when delivered (i) by personal delivery and shall be deemed effective when delivered, or (ii) by mail or courier and shall be deemed effective three (3) business days after deposit in an official depository maintained by the United States Post Office for the collection of mail or one (1) business day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., FedEx). Notice by e-mail is not valid notice under this or any other agreement between Borrower and the Bank.

 

b. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Any financial calculation to be made, all financial statements and other financial information to be provided, and all books and records, system of accounting to be kept in connection with the provisions of this Agreement, shall be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied during each interval and from interval to interval; provided, however, that in the event changes in generally accepted accounting principles shall be mandated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any similar accounting body of comparable standing, or should be recommended by Borrower’s certified public accountants, to the extent such changes would affect any financial calculations to be made in connection herewith, such changes shall be implemented in making

 

CLB-106-VA (11/04) 7 © M&T Bank, 2004


 

such calculations only from and after such date as Borrower and the Bank shall have amended this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect such changes in the financial and other covenants to which such calculations relate.

 

c. Indemnification. If after receipt of any payment of all, or any part of, the Loan, the Bank is, for any reason, compelled to surrender such payment to any person or entity because such payment is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, the Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and the Borrower shall be liable, and shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered. The provisions of this Section shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Bank in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Bank’s rights under the Transaction Documents and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

 

d. Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower shall take, and cause its Subsidiaries to take, such action and execute and deliver to the Bank such additional documents, instruments, certificates, and agreements as the Bank may reasonably request to effectuate the purposes of the Transaction Documents.

 

e. Cumulative Nature and Non-Exclusive Exercise of Rights and Remedies. All rights and remedies of the Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be cumulative, and no such right or remedy shall be exclusive of any other such right or remedy. In the event of any unreconcilable inconsistencies, this Agreement shall control. No single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or any exercise of any other such right or remedy, by the Bank.

 

f. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Unless provided otherwise under federal law, this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance with laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding its conflict of laws rules. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA IN A COUNTY OR JUDICIAL DISTRICT WHERE THE BANK MAINTAINS A BRANCH, AND CONSENTS THAT THE BANK MAY EFFECT ANY SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER AND AT BORROWER’S ADDRESS AS SET FORTH IN THE ABOVE SECTION ENTITLED “NOTICES;” PROVIDED THAT NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL PREVENT THE BANK FROM BRINGING ANY ACTION, ENFORCING ANY AWARD OR JUDGMENT OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER INDIVIDUALLY, AGAINST ANY SECURITY OR AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF BORROWER WITHIN ANY OTHER COUNTY, STATE OR OTHER FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC JURISDICTION. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both the Bank and Borrower, and Borrower waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Agreement.

 

g. Joint and Several; Successors and Assigns. If there is more than one Borrower, each of them shall be jointly and severally liable for all amounts, which become due, and the performance of all obligations under this Agreement, and the term “the Borrower” shall include each as well as all of them. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and upon its heirs and legal representatives, its successors and assignees, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Bank, its successors and assignees and each direct or indirect assignee or other transferee of any of the Loan; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Bank.

 

h. Waivers; Changes in Writing. No failure or delay of the Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The Borrower expressly disclaims any reliance on any course of dealing or usage of trade or oral representation of the Bank (including representations to make loans to the Borrower) and agrees that none of the foregoing shall operate as a waiver of any right or remedy of the Bank. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless made specifically in writing by the Bank and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No modification to any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing in an agreement signed by the Borrower and the Bank.

 

i. Interpretation. Unless the context otherwise clearly requires, references to plural includes the singular and references to the singular include the plural; references to “individual” shall mean a natural person and shall include a natural person doing business under an assumed name (e.g., a “DBA”); the word “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or;” the word “including,” “includes” and “include” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” and captions or section headings are solely for convenience and not part of the substance of this Agreement. Any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall be deemed continuous. Each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted as consistent with existing law and shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to comply with any conflicting law. If any provision nevertheless is held invalid, the other provisions shall remain in effect. The Borrower agrees that in any legal proceeding, a photocopy of this Agreement kept in the Bank’s course of business may be admitted into evidence as an original.

 

j. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower and the Bank hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waive any right to trial by jury the Borrower and the Bank may have in any action or proceeding, in law or in equity, in connection with this Agreement or any transactions

 

CLB-106-VA (11/04) 8 © M&T Bank, 2004


 

related hereto. The Borrower represents and warrants that no representative or agent of the Bank has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Bank will not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce this jury trial waiver. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the provisions of this Section.

 

k. Amendment and Restatement. This Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement hereby amends and restates, in all respects, that certain Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of June 24, 2021 by and among Borrower and Bank and certain other parties named therein, as modified by that certain Amendment to Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of October 14, 2021, as further modified by that certain Omnibus Amendment to Loan Documents and Consent Agreement dated as of October 3, 2022, as further modified by that certain Second Amendment to Second Amended, Restated and Consolidated Credit Agreement dated as of September 28, 2023, as further modified, amended, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time. No novation is intended hereby.

 

Acknowledgment. Borrower acknowledges that it has read and understands all the provisions of this Agreement, including the Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial, and has been advised by counsel as necessary or appropriate.
