Item 1.01 |
|
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 8, 2011, PMC Commercial Trust (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, First
Western SBLC, Inc. (First Western) entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the Amendment), which amends their Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
December 28, 2010 (the Credit Agreement), among the Company, First Western, JPMorgan Chase Bank,
National Association, as a lender and as administrative agent for the lenders (in such capacity,
the Administrative Agent) and the lenders named therein. A copy of the Credit Agreement was
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities
Exchange Commission on January 3, 2011 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Amendment decreased the interest rate on our borrowings. Borrowings under the amended
Credit Agreement will continue to bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin
depending on the type of borrowing. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans made under the Credit
Agreement decreased to 2.00% from 3.00% and the applicable margin for CB Floating Rate (typically
the prime rate) loans made under the Credit Agreement decreased to -0.50% from 0.00%.
The Amendment provides that the borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be unsecured. The
Credit Agreement previously provided that all amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement were
secured by a security interest in, among other things, the Companys loans receivable and the
capital stock of First Western. The Amendment also extends the revolving credit facility maturity
date from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2014.
The borrowing amount available under the amended Credit Agreement is initially $30,000,000,
which is subject to increase as follows: (a) on January 1, 2012, the $30,000,000 would
automatically increase by $5,000,000 to $35,000,000 and (b) on January 1, 2013, the $30,000,000 or
$35,000,000 (as applicable at the time) would automatically increase by $5,000,000 to $35,000,000
or $40,000,000, as applicable, provided there is no event of default or potential default on these
dates and the non-performing loan ratio, as defined, is not more than 20% on these dates. The
Amendment increases the initial borrowing availability of First Western from $7,500,000 to
$10,000,000 (included within the total borrowing amount available of $30,000,000), which is subject
to $5,000,000 increases on the same terms as stated above.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company ratified and confirmed its prior guarantee of the
obligations of First Western under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary
terms and provisions (including representations and warranties, covenants, conditions and events of
default) for transactions of this type. Certain covenants, among other things, limit the Companys
and its subsidiaries ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments and sell assets.
The Amendment modifies certain of these covenants and deletes certain financial covenants
including, the maximum leverage ratio, maximum non-performing loan ratio, maximum charge-off ratio
and minimum asset coverage ratio.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the
documents attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Form 8-K, which exhibits are

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 17
2.2 PMC Borrowing Procedure. The following procedures apply to all Borrowings under
the PMC Revolving Facility:
(a) Borrowing Request. PMC may request a Borrowing only by making or
delivering a Borrowing Request to Administrative Agent, which is irrevocable and binding on
PMC, stating the Type, amount and, if applicable, Interest Period for each Borrowing and
which must be received by Administrative Agent no later than (i) 10:00 a.m. on the second
Business Day before the date on which funds are requested (the Borrowing Date) for
any LIBOR Rate Borrowing or (ii) 10:00 a.m. on the Borrowing Date for any CBFR Borrowing.
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any Borrowing Request.
(b) Funding. Each Lender shall remit its Commitment Percentage of each
requested Borrowing to Administrative Agents principal office in Dallas, Texas, in funds
that are available for immediate use by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the applicable
Borrowing Date. Subject to receipt of those funds, Administrative Agent shall (unless to
its actual knowledge any of the applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied by
PMC or waived by the requisite Lenders under Section 14.10) make those funds
available to PMC by (at PMCs option) (i) wiring the funds to or for the account of PMC at
the direction of PMC or (ii) depositing the funds in PMCs account with Administrative
Agent.
(c) Funding Assumed. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender,
Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Commitment Percentage of the
requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date, and
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to),
make available to PMC a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its Commitment
Percentage of any requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable
Borrowing Date, Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand, (i) from
that Lender together with interest, commencing on the Borrowing Date and ending on (but
excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from that Lender, at an annual
interest rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) if that Lender fails to pay its
amount upon demand, then from PMC. No Lender is responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing; however, failure of any Lender to
make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing does not excuse any other Lender from making
its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing.
2.3 PMC Borrowing Requests. Each Borrowing Request constitutes a representation and
warranty by PMC that as of the Borrowing Date, all of the conditions precedent for that Borrowing
in Section 5 have been satisfied.

integral multiple of $2,500,000; (b) the amount of the PMC Commitment
may not be reduced below the Commitment Usage at such time; (c) the amount of the PMC
Commitment may not be reduced below the First Western Commitment; and (d) each reduction shall be
allocated among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Promptly
after receipt of such notice of termination or reduction, Administrative Agent shall notify each
Lender of the proposed cancellation or reduction. Such termination or partial reduction of the PMC
Commitment shall be effective on the Business Day specified in Borrowers notice (which date must
be at least three Business Days after Borrowers delivery of such notice). In the event that the
PMC Commitment is reduced to zero at a time when there is no outstanding Principal Debt, this
agreement shall be terminated (except for any indemnification or expense reimbursement provisions
in this agreement which survive the termination of this agreement) and all commitment fees and
other fees then earned and unpaid hereunder and all other amounts constituting part of the
Obligation then due and owing shall be immediately due and payable, without notice or demand by
Administrative Agent or any Lender.
2.5 First Western Revolving Facility. Subject to and in reliance upon the terms,
conditions, representations and warranties in the Credit Documents, each Lender severally and not

Business Day immediately preceding the Termination Date, (b) each such Borrowing shall be in an

determination, the Commitment Usage under the First Western Revolving Facility shall never exceed

delivering a Borrowing Request to Administrative Agent, which is irrevocable and binding on
First Western, stating the Type, amount and, if applicable, Interest Period for each
Borrowing and which must be received by Administrative Agent no later than (i) 10:00 a.m. on
the second Business Day before the Borrowing Date for any LIBOR Rate Borrowing or (ii) 10:00
a.m. on the Borrowing Date for any CBFR Borrowing. Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of any Borrowing Request.
(b) Funding. Each Lender shall remit its Commitment Percentage of each
requested Borrowing to Administrative Agents principal office in Dallas, Texas, in funds
that are available for immediate use by Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the applicable

(c) Funding Assumed. Absent contrary written notice from a Lender,
Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Commitment Percentage of the
requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date, and
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to),
make available to First Western a corresponding amount. If a Lender fails to make its
Commitment Percentage of any requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent on the
applicable Borrowing Date, Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand,
(i) from that Lender together with interest, commencing on the Borrowing Date and ending on
(but excluding) the date Administrative Agent recovers the amount from that Lender, at an
annual interest rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) if that Lender fails to pay
its amount upon demand, then from First Western. No Lender is responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing; however, failure of
any Lender to make its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing does not excuse any other
Lender from making its Commitment Percentage of any Borrowing.
2.7 First Western Borrowing Requests. Each Borrowing Request constitutes a
representation and warranty by First Western that as of the Borrowing Date, all of the conditions
precedent for that Borrowing in Section 5 have been satisfied.
2.8 Reduction or Termination of First Western Commitment. Without premium or penalty,
and upon giving not less than three Business Days prior written and irrevocable notice to

or reduction, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed cancellation or

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 20
(b) Payment. Each Borrower must make each payment and prepayment on the
Obligation to Administrative Agents principal office in Dallas, Texas in immediately
available funds by 1:00 p.m. on the day due; otherwise, but subject to Section 3.8,
those funds continue to accrue interest as if they were received on the next Business Day.
Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender the part of any payment or prepayment
to which that Lender is entitled under this agreement on the same day Administrative Agent
is deemed to receive the funds from such Borrower.
(c) Payment Assumed. Unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due under this agreement, that such
Borrower will not make that payment in full, Administrative Agent may assume that such
Borrower has made the full payment due and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon that
assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on that date the amount then due to each
Lender. If and to the extent any Borrower does not make the full payment due to
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay Administrative Agent on demand the amount
distributed to that Lender by Administrative Agent, together with interest for each day from
the date that Lender received payment from Administrative Agent until the date that Lender
repays Administrative Agent (unless such repayment is made on the same day as such
distribution), at an interest rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.
3.2 Interest and Principal Payments.
(a) Interest. Interest on each LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be due and payable
as it accrues on the last day of its respective Interest Period and on the Termination Date;
provided that if any Interest Period is a period greater than three months, then accrued
interest shall also be due and payable on the date three months after the commencement of
such Interest Period. Interest on each CBFR Borrowing shall be due and payable as it
accrues on the last day of each month (commencing on the first of those dates that follows
the Closing Date), and on the Termination Date.
(b) Principal. The Principal Debt under the PMC Revolving Facility and the
First Western Revolving Facility is due and payable on the Termination Date. After giving
Administrative Agent advance written notice of the intent to prepay, any Borrower may
voluntarily prepay all or any part of the Principal Debt from time to time and at any time,
in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (i) such notice must be
received by Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. on (A) the third Business Day preceding the
date of prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, and (B) one Business Day preceding the date of
prepayment of a CBFR Borrowing; (ii) each such partial prepayment must be in a minimum
amount of at least $500,000 or a greater integral multiple of $100,000 thereof (if a LIBOR
Rate Borrowing or a CBFR Borrowing); (iii) all accrued interest on the Obligation must also
be paid in full, to the date of such prepayment; and (iv) such Borrower shall pay any
related Consequential Loss within ten (10) days after demand therefor. Each notice of
prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the facility or the subfacility hereunder
being prepaid, the Type of Borrowing(s) and amount(s) of such Borrowing(s) to be prepaid and
shall constitute a binding obligation of the applicable Borrower to make a prepayment on the
date stated therein.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 21
(c) Mandatory Prepayments. On any date of determination, if the Commitment
Usage under the PMC Revolving Facility exceeds the PMC Commitment then in effect, then PMC
shall make a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Debt under the PMC Revolving Facility in
at least the amount of any such excess, together with (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount so prepaid and (B) any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof.
On any date of determination, if the Commitment Usage under the First Western Revolving
Facility exceeds the First Western Commitment then in effect, then First Western shall make
a mandatory prepayment of the Principal Debt under the First Western Revolving Facility in
at least the amount of any such excess, together with (x) all accrued and unpaid interest on
the principal amount so prepaid and (y) any Consequential Loss arising as a result thereof.
3.3 Interest Options. Except that the LIBOR Rate may not be selected when an Event of
Default or Potential Default exists, and except as otherwise provided in this agreement, Borrowings
bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable
Margin or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (in each case as designated or deemed
designated by Borrower), as the case may be and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the CB
Floating Rate, LIBOR Rate or Maximum Rate is effective, without notice to any Borrower or any other
Person, upon the effective date of change. If a Borrower does not designate the Type for a
requested Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed to be a LIBOR Rate Borrowing with
an Interest Period of one month (unless the LIBOR Rate is unavailable because of the conditions
described in Sections 3.15 or 3.17, in which case the requested Borrowing will be
deemed a CBFR Borrowing).
3.4 Quotation of Rates. Any Borrower may call Administrative Agent before delivering
a Borrowing Request to receive an indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the
indicated rates do not bind Administrative Agent or Lenders or affect the interest rate that is
actually in effect when such Borrower makes a Borrowing Request or on the Borrowing Date.
3.5 Default Rate. All past-due Principal Debt and, unless prohibited by applicable
Government Requirements, past-due interest accruing on the Principal Debt shall, at Administrative
Agents option, bear interest on the amount thereof from time to time outstanding from the date due
(stated or by acceleration) at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether payment is made
before or after entry of a judgment.
3.6 Interest Recapture. If the designated interest rate applicable to any Borrowing
exceeds the Maximum Rate, the interest rate on that Borrowing is limited to the Maximum Rate, but
any subsequent reductions in the designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below
the Maximum Rate until the total amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest that
would have accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at maturity (stated or by
acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the total interest paid or accrued is less than
the interest that would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at
that time and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, each Borrower
shall pay an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that
would have accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of interest
that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect, and (b) the amount of
interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 22
3.7 Interest Calculations. Interest on all Borrowings will be calculated on the basis
of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed but computed
as if each calendar year consisted of (a) 360 days in the case of LIBOR Borrowings or CBFR
Borrowings calculated with reference to the Federal Funds Rate (unless such calculation would
result in the interest on the Borrowings exceeding the Maximum Rate in which event such interest
shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) and (b) 365 or
366 days, as the case may be, in the case of CBFR Borrowings calculated with reference to
Administrative Agents base rate of interest. All interest rate determinations and calculations by
Administrative Agent are conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
3.8 Maximum Rate. It is the intent of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers in
the execution and performance of the Credit Documents to remain in strict compliance with
applicable Governmental Requirements from time to time in effect, including applicable laws
limiting the amount or rate of interest. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers stipulate and
agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in the Credit Documents shall ever be
construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money with interest
at a rate or in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount. For purposes of the
Credit Documents, interest shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest
under applicable Governmental Requirements that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received or
paid under the Credit Documents. No Borrower shall ever be required to pay unearned interest and
shall never be required to pay interest at a rate or in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or
Maximum Amount, and the provisions of this section shall control over all other provisions of the
Credit Documents, and of any other instrument pertaining to or securing the Obligation, which may
be in actual or apparent conflict herewith. If the Obligation is prepaid, or if the maturity of
the Obligation is accelerated for any reason, or if under any contingency the effective rate or
amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under the Credit Documents would exceed the
Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount, or in the event any Lender or any holder of the Notes shall charge,
contract for, take, reserve or receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would,
in the absence of this provision, increase the effective rate or amount of interest payable under
the Credit Documents to a rate or amount in excess of that permitted to be charged, contracted for,
taken, reserved or received under applicable Governmental Requirements then in effect, then the
principal amount of the Obligation or the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under
the Notes or both shall be reduced to the amount allowed under applicable Governmental Requirements
as now or hereinafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and all such moneys so charged,
contracted for, taken, reserved or received that are deemed to constitute interest in excess of the
Maximum Rate shall immediately be returned to or credited to the account of Borrowers upon such
determination. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers further stipulate and agree that,
without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate or amount of interest contracted
for, charged, taken, reserved or received under the Credit Documents which are made for the purpose
of determining whether such rate or amount exceeds the Maximum Rate or Maximum Amount, shall be
made to the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental Requirements, by amortizing,
prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of the Notes, all
interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received from Borrowers or
otherwise by Lenders or any other holder of the Notes. If the Governmental Requirements of the
State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the
Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount, then those terms mean the indicated
rate ceiling from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended.

3.9 Interest Periods. When any Borrower requests any LIBOR Rate Borrowing, such
Borrower may elect the applicable interest period (each an Interest Period), which may
be, at such Borrowers option, one, three or six months, subject to the following conditions: (a)
the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing commences on the applicable Borrowing Date
or conversion date, and each subsequent Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing commences on
the day when the next preceding applicable Interest Period expires; (b) if any Interest Period for
a LIBOR Rate Borrowing begins on a day for which no numerically corresponding Business Day in the
calendar month at the end of the Interest Period exists, then the Interest Period ends on the last
Business Day of that calendar month; (c) if such Borrower is required to pay any portion of a LIBOR
Rate Borrowing before the end of its Interest Period in order to comply with the payment provisions
of the Credit Documents, such Borrower shall also pay any related Consequential Loss; (d) no
Interest Period for any portion of Principal Debt may extend beyond the scheduled repayment date
for that portion of Principal Debt; and (e) no more than four Interest Periods may be in effect at
one time.
3.10 Conversions. Subject to the dollar limits of Sections 2.1 and
2.5 and provided that no Borrower may convert to or select a new Interest Period for a
LIBOR Rate Borrowing at any time when an Event of Default exists, any Borrower may (a) convert a
LIBOR Rate Borrowing on the last day of the applicable Interest Period to a CBFR Borrowing, (b)
convert a CBFR Borrowing at any time to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing and (c) elect a new Interest Period
for a LIBOR Rate Borrowing. That election may be made by telephonic request to Administrative
Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. on the second Business Day before the conversion date or the last
day of the Interest Period, as the case may be (for conversion to a LIBOR Rate Borrowing or
election of a new Interest Period), and no later than 10:00 a.m. on the last day of the Interest
Period (for conversion to a CBFR Borrowing). Each Borrower shall provide a Conversion Notice to
Administrative Agent no later than two days after the date of the conversion or election. Absent a
Borrowers telephonic request for conversion or election of a new Interest Period or if an Event of
Default exists, then, a LIBOR Rate Borrowing shall be deemed converted to a CBFR Borrowing
effective when the applicable Interest Period expires.
3.11 Order of Application.
(a) No Event of Default. Payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be
applied in the order and manner specified in this agreement; provided, however, if no order
is otherwise specified in this agreement and no Event of Default or Potential Default has
occurred and is continuing, payments and prepayments of the Obligation shall be applied
first to fees, second to accrued interest then due and payable on the Principal Debt, and
then to the remaining Obligation in the order and manner as any Borrower may direct.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 24
(b) Event of Default or No Direction. If an Event of Default or Potential
Default has occurred and is continuing (or if any Borrower fails to give direction as
permitted under Section 3.11(a)), any payment or prepayment (including proceeds from
the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all fees and
expenses for which Administrative Agent or Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed in
accordance with the Credit Documents (and if such payment or prepayment is less than all
unpaid or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment or prepayment shall be paid
against unpaid and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date);
(ii) to accrued interest on the Principal Debt; (iii) to the remaining Principal Debt in
such order as Required Lenders may elect (provided that Required Lenders will apply such
proceeds in an order that will minimize any Consequential Loss); and (iv) to the remaining
Obligation in the order and manner Required Lenders deem appropriate.
(c) Pro Rata. Each payment or prepayment shall be distributed to each Lender
in accordance with its Pro Rata Part of that payment or prepayment.
3.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender obtains any payment or prepayment with
respect to the Obligation (whether voluntary, involuntary, or otherwise, including, without
limitation, as a result of exercising its Rights under Section 3.13) that exceeds the part
of that payment or prepayment that it is then entitled to receive under the Credit Documents, then
that Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders participations that will cause the purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment or prepayment ratably with each other Lender. If all or any
portion of any excess payment or prepayment is subsequently recovered from the purchasing Lender,
then the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of the recovery.
Each Borrower agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender under this
section may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, exercise all
of its Rights of payment (including the Right of offset) with respect to that participation as
fully as if that Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of that
participation.
3.13 Offset. If an Event of Default exists, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable Governmental Requirements, each Lender may exercise (for the benefit of all Lenders in
accordance with Section 3.12) the Rights of offset and bankers lien against each and every
account and other property, or any interest therein, that any Company may now or hereafter have
with, or which is now or hereafter in the possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full
amount of the Obligation owed (directly or participated) to it, provided, however, no such right of
offset or bankers lien may be exercised against any account of any Special Purpose Entity.
3.14 Booking Borrowings. To the extent permitted by applicable Governmental
Requirements, any Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of
any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates. However, no Affiliate
or branch is entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.16 than the transferor
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to those Borrowings, and a transfer may not
be made if, as a direct result of it, Section 3.15 or 3.17 would apply to any of
the Obligation. If any of the conditions of Sections 3.16 or 3.17 ever apply to a
Lender, that Lender shall, to the extent possible, carry or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for
the account of any of its branch offices or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates so long
as the transfer is consistent with the other provisions of this section, does not create any burden
or adverse circumstance for that Lender that would not otherwise exist, and eliminates or
ameliorates the conditions of Sections 3.16 or 3.17, as applicable.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 25
3.15 Basis Unavailable or Inadequate for LIBOR Rate. If on or before any date when a
LIBOR Rate is to be determined for a Borrowing, Administrative Agent or any Lender determines (and
Required Lenders agree with that determination) that the basis for determining the applicable rate
is not available or that the resulting rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Lenders of
making or converting Borrowings at that rate for the applicable Interest Period, then
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Lenders of that determination (which is
conclusive and binding on each Borrower absent manifest error), and the applicable Borrowing shall
bear interest at the sum of the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Until Administrative
Agent notifies Borrowers that those circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
Lenders commitments under this agreement to make, or to convert to, LIBOR Rate Borrowings, as the
case may be, shall be suspended.
3.16 Additional Costs. Each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to notify
Administrative Agent, the other Lenders, and Borrowers within 180 days after it has actual
knowledge that any circumstances exist that would give rise to any payment obligation by Borrowers
under clauses (a) through (c) below. Although no Lender shall have any liability
to Administrative Agent, any other Lender, or any Company for its failure to give that notice, no
Borrower is obligated to pay any amounts under those clauses that arise, accrue or are imposed more
than 180 days before that notice to the extent that notice is applicable to those amounts. To
demand payment under this section, any such Lender must generally be making similar demand for
similar additional costs under credit agreements to which it is party that contain similar
provisions to this section.
(a) Reserves. With respect to any LIBOR Rate Borrowing (i) if any change in
any present Governmental Requirement, any change in the interpretation or application of any
present Governmental Requirement, or any future Governmental Requirement imposes, modifies
or deems applicable (or if compliance by any Lender with any requirement of any Governmental
Authority results in) any requirement that any reserves (including, without limitation, any
marginal, emergency, supplemental, or special reserves) be maintained (other than any
reserve included in the Reserve Requirement) and if (ii) those reserves reduce any sums
receivable by that Lender under this agreement or increase the costs incurred by Lender in
advancing or maintaining any portion of any LIBOR Rate Borrowing, then (iii) that Lender
(through Administrative Agent) shall deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculation of the amount necessary to compensate it for its reduction
or increase (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent manifest error), and (iv)
Borrowers shall pay that amount to that Lender within five Business Days after demand. The
provisions of and undertakings and indemnifications in this clause (a) survive the
satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 26
(b) Capital Adequacy. With respect to any Borrowing, if any change in any
present Governmental Requirement, any change in the interpretation or application of any
present Governmental Requirement, or any future Governmental Requirement regarding capital
adequacy, or if compliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender with any request, directive
or requirement imposed in the future by any Governmental Authority regarding capital
adequacy, or if any change in its written policies or in the risk category of this
transaction, in any of the foregoing events or circumstances, reduces the rate of
return on its capital as a consequence of its obligations under this agreement to a
level below that which it otherwise could have achieved (taking into consideration its
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by it to be material (and it
may, in determining the amount, utilize reasonable assumptions and allocations of costs and
expenses and use any reasonable averaging or attribution method), then (unless the effect is
already reflected in the rate of interest then applicable under this agreement)
Administrative Agent or that Lender (through Administrative Agent) shall notify Borrowers
and deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of
the amount necessary to compensate it (which certificate is conclusive and binding absent
manifest error), and Borrowers shall pay that amount to Administrative Agent or that Lender
within five Business Days after demand. The provisions of and undertakings and
indemnification in this clause (b) shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the
Obligation and termination of this agreement.
(c) Taxes. Any Taxes payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender or ruled by
a Governmental Authority to be payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of
this agreement or any other Credit Document shall, if permitted by applicable Governmental
Requirements, be paid by Borrowers, together with interest and penalties, if any, except for
Taxes payable on or measured by the overall net income of Administrative Agent or that
Lender (or any other Person with whom Administrative Agent or that Lender files a
consolidated, combined, unitary, or similar Tax return) and except for interest and
penalties incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Administrative Agent or that Lender. Administrative Agent or that Lender (through
Administrative Agent) shall notify Borrowers and deliver to Borrowers a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of Taxes payable, which certificate
is conclusive and binding (absent manifest error), and Borrowers shall pay that amount to
Administrative Agent for its account or the account of that Lender, as the case may be,
within ten Business Days after demand. If Administrative Agent or that Lender subsequently
receives a refund of the Taxes paid to it by Borrowers, then the recipient shall promptly
pay the refund to Borrowers.
3.17 Change in Governmental Requirements. If any Governmental Requirement makes it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Borrowings, then that Lender shall promptly
notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent, and (a) as to undisbursed funds, that requested
Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing and (b) as to any outstanding Borrowing (i) if
maintaining the Borrowing until the last day of the applicable Interest Period is unlawful, the
Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing as of the date of notice, in which event Borrowers
will be required to pay any related Consequential Loss or (ii) if not prohibited by applicable
Governmental Requirements, the Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing as of the last day
of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) if any conversion will not resolve the unlawfulness,
Borrowers shall promptly prepay the Borrowing, without penalty but with related Consequential Loss.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 27
3.18 Consequential Loss. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against, and pay
to it upon demand, any Consequential Loss of that Lender. When any Lender demands that any
Borrower pay any Consequential Loss, that Lender shall deliver to such Borrower and Administrative
Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for imposing
Consequential Loss and the calculation of the amount, which calculation is conclusive and
binding absent manifest error. The provisions of and undertakings and indemnification in this
Section survive the satisfaction and payment of the Obligation and termination of this agreement.
3.19 Foreign Lenders, Participants, and Purchasers. Each Lender, Participant (by
accepting a participation interest under this agreement), and Purchaser (by executing an
Assignment) that is not organized under the Governmental Requirements of the United States of
America or one of its states (a) represents to Administrative Agent and Borrowers that (i) no Taxes
are required to be withheld by Administrative Agent or any Borrower with respect to any payments to
be made to it in respect of the Obligation and (ii) it has furnished to Administrative Agent and
Borrowers two duly completed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 4224, Form 1001,
Form W-8, or any other form acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrowers that entitles it to a
complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax on all interest or fee payments under the
Credit Documents, and (b) covenants to (i) provide Administrative Agent and Borrowers a new Form
4224, Form 1001, Form W-8, or other form acceptable to Administrative Agent and Borrowers upon the
expiration or obsolescence according to applicable Governmental Requirements of any previously
delivered form, duly executed and completed by it, entitling it to a complete exemption from U.S.
federal withholding Tax on all interest and fee payments under the Credit Documents, and (ii)
comply from time to time with all applicable Governmental Requirements with regard to the
withholding Tax exemption. If any of the foregoing is not true at any time or the applicable forms
are not provided, then Borrowers and Administrative Agent (without duplication) may deduct and
withhold from interest and fee payments under the Credit Documents any Tax at the maximum rate
under the Code or other applicable Governmental Requirement, and amounts so deducted and withheld
shall be treated as paid to that Lender, Participant, or Purchaser, as the case may be, for all
purposes under the Credit Documents.
SECTION 4. FEES.
4.1 Treatment of Fees. Except as otherwise provided by applicable Governmental
Requirements, the fees described in this Section 4 (a) do not constitute compensation for
the use, detention, or forbearance of money, (b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest
and expenses otherwise described in this agreement, (c) shall be payable in accordance with
Section 3, (d) shall be non refundable, (e) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Governmental Requirements, bear interest, if not paid when due, at the Default Rate, and
(f) shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days,
unless such computation would result in interest being computed in excess of the Maximum Rate in
which event such computation shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or, 366 days, as the case
may be.
4.2 Fees of Administrative Agent. Each Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent,
for its own account, fees in such amounts and upon such payment terms as may be separately agreed
upon by Administrative Agent and such Borrower in writing.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 28
4.3 Upfront Fees. On the Closing Date, each Borrower shall pay to each initial Lender
upfront fees in amounts separately agreed to between such Borrower and each such Lender.
4.4 Commitment Fee. Following the Closing Date, PMC shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for the ratable account of Lenders, a commitment fee, payable in installments in arrears, on
each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 and on the Termination Date, commencing
December 31, 2010. Each installment shall be in an amount equal to (a) prior to the First
Amendment Effective Date, 0.375%, and (b) after the First Amendment Effective Date, 0.25%
multiplied by the amount by which (a) the average daily Commitments (which amount, for purposes of
calculating the commitment fee hereunder, shall not exceed the Total Commitment Amount on such
date) exceeds (b) the average daily Commitment Usage, in each case during the period from and
including the last payment date to and excluding the payment date for such installment, provided
that each such installment shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4.1(f). Solely
for the purposes of this Section 4.4, ratable shall mean, for any period of calculation,
with respect to any Lender, that proportion which (x) the average daily unused Committed Sum of
such Lender during such period bears to (y) the amount of the average daily unused Commitments
(which amount shall not exceed the Total Commitment Amount on such date) during such period.

5.1 Initial Advances. The obligation of Lenders to make the initial advances under

SECTION 11. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
11.1 Remedies Upon Event of Default.
(a) Debtor Relief. If an Event of Default exists under Section 10.3,
the commitment to extend credit under this agreement automatically terminates and the entire
unpaid principal balance of the Obligation, together with all interest accrued thereon, and
all other amounts then accrued and unpaid, automatically become and shall be due and payable
without any action of any kind whatsoever.
(b) Other Events of Default. If any Event of Default exists, Administrative
Agent may (with the consent of, and must, upon the request of Required Lenders), do any one
or more of the following: (i) If the maturity of the Obligation has not already been
accelerated under Section 11.1(a), declare the entire unpaid principal balance of
all or any part of the Obligation, together with all interest accrued thereon, and all other
amounts then accrued and unpaid, immediately due and payable, whereupon it is due and
payable; (ii) terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this agreement;
(iii) reduce any claim to judgment; (iv) require the Companies to open and maintain a
secured lockbox account for the receipt of the Companies accounts receivables; notes
receivable and other receivables; and (v) exercise any and all other legal or equitable
Rights afforded by the Credit Documents, by applicable Governmental Requirements or
otherwise at law or in equity.
(c) Offset. If an Event of Default exists, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable Governmental Requirements, each Lender may exercise the Rights of offset and
bankers lien against each and every account and other property, or any interest therein,
which any Company may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter in the
possession of, that Lender to the extent of the full amount of the Obligation owed to that
Lender, provided, however, no such right of offset or bankers lien may be exercised against
any account of a Special Purpose Entity.
11.2 Company Waivers. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Governmental
Requirements, each Borrower and each other Company waives, in respect to any action taken by
Administrative Agent or Lenders at any time and from time to time pursuant to Section 11.1,
presentment, demand for payment, protest, acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of
intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, and all other notices and acts, and agrees that
its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is not affected by any
renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any part of the Obligation, by any
indulgence, increase or other modification to, or by any release or change in any security for the
payment of, all or any part of the Obligation.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 51
11.3 Performance by Administrative Agent. If any Companys covenant, duty or
agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, Administrative
Agent may at its option (but subject to the approval of Required Lenders), perform or attempt to
perform that covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of that Company, and any amount expended by or
on behalf of Administrative Agent in its performance or attempted performance is payable by the
Companies, jointly and severally, to Administrative Agent on demand, becomes part of the
Obligation, and bears interest on the portion thereof from time to time unpaid at the Default Rate
from the date of Administrative Agents expenditure until paid. However, Administrative Agent does
not assume and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or
responsibility for the performance of any Companys covenants, duties or agreements.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, unless an Event of Default then exists, Administrative Agent shall
not take any such action without requesting that a Borrower take such action on its own behalf.
11.4 Not in Control. Nothing in any Credit Document gives or may be deemed to give to
Administrative Agent or any Lender the Right to exercise control over any Companys Real Property,
other assets, affairs or management or to preclude or interfere with any Companys compliance with
any Governmental Requirement or require any act or omission by any Company that may be harmful to
Persons or property. Any Material Adverse Event or other materiality or substantiality qualifier
of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision of any Credit Document is
included for credit documentation purposes only and does not imply and should not be deemed to mean
that Administrative Agent or any Lender acquiesces in any non compliance by any Company with any
applicable Governmental Requirement, document, or otherwise or does not expect the Companies to
promptly, diligently and continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, compliance,
closure or other activities required or appropriate in accordance with all Environmental Laws.
Administrative Agents and Lenders power is limited to the Rights provided in, or referred to by,
the Credit Documents. All of those Rights exist solely to assure payment and performance of the
Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, and may be exercised in a manner
determined to be appropriate by Administrative Agent or Lenders in their sole business judgment.
11.5 Course of Dealing. The acceptance by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any
partial payment on the Obligation is not a waiver of any Event of Default then existing. No waiver
by Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders of any Event of Default is a waiver of any
other then existing or subsequent Event of Default. No delay or omission by Administrative Agent,
Required Lenders or Lenders in exercising any Right under the Credit Documents impairs that Right
or is a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any
Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right under the
Credit Documents or otherwise.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 52
11.6 Cumulative Rights. All Rights available to Administrative Agent, Required
Lenders and Lenders under the Credit Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other
Rights granted to Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and Lenders at law or in equity,
whether or not the Obligation is due and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent, Required
Lenders or Lenders have instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure, or other action in
connection with the Credit Documents.
11.7 Application of Proceeds. Any and all proceeds ever received by Administrative
Agent or Lenders from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall be applied to
the Obligation according to Section 3.
11.8 Certain Proceedings. Each Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver, or cause
the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration
statements, and all other documents and papers Administrative Agent or Required Lenders reasonably
request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration (other than
securities law registrations), qualification, permit, license or authorization of any Governmental
Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any Rights under
the Credit Documents. Because each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agents and Required
Lenders remedies under applicable Governmental Requirements for failure of such Borrower to comply
with the provisions of this section would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately
compensable in damages, each Borrower agrees that the covenants of this section may be specifically
enforced.
11.9 Expenditures by Administrative Agent or Lenders. Any sums spent by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any Right under any Credit Document is
payable by the Companies to Administrative Agent within 10 days of written demand, becomes part of
the Obligation, and bears interest on the portion thereof from time to time unpaid at the Default
Rate from the date spent until the date repaid.
SECTION 12. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS.
12.1 Administrative Agent.
(a) Appointment. Each Lender appoints Administrative Agent (including, without
limitation, each successor Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 12)
as its nominee and agent to act in its name and on its behalf (and Administrative Agent and
each such successor accepts that appointment): (i) To act as its nominee and on its behalf
in and under all Credit Documents; (ii) to arrange the means whereby its funds are to be
made available to any Borrower under the Credit Documents; (iii) to take any action that it
properly requests under the Credit Documents (subject to the concurrence of other Lenders as
may be required under the Credit Documents); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be
furnished to it under the Credit Documents; (v) to promptly distribute to it all material
information, requests, documents, and items received from any Borrower under the Credit
Documents; (vi) to promptly distribute to it its ratable part of each payment or prepayment
(whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after foreclosure, as proceeds of
insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents; and
(vii) to deliver to the appropriate Persons requests, demands, approvals, and consents
received from it. However, Administrative
Agent may not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or
that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable Governmental Requirements.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 53
(b) Successor. Administrative Agent may assign all of its Rights and
obligations as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents to any of its Affiliates,
which Affiliate shall then be the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.
Administrative Agent may also voluntarily resign and shall resign upon the request of
Required Lenders for cause (i.e., Administrative Agent is continuing to fail to perform its
responsibilities as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents). If the initial or any
successor Administrative Agent ever ceases to be a party to this agreement or if the initial
or any successor Administrative Agent ever resigns (whether voluntarily or at the request of
Required Lenders), then Required Lenders shall (which, if no Event of Default or Potential
Default exists, is subject to Borrowers approval that may not be unreasonably withheld)
appoint the successor Administrative Agent from among Lenders (other than the resigning
Administrative Agent). If Required Lenders fail to appoint a successor Administrative Agent
within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent has given notice of resignation or
Required Lenders have removed the resigning Administrative Agent, then the resigning
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,
which must be a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition). Upon its
acceptance of appointment as successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative
Agent succeeds to and becomes vested with all of the Rights of the prior Administrative
Agent, and the prior Administrative Agent is discharged from its duties and obligations of
Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and each Lender shall execute the documents
that any Lender, the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, or the successor
Administrative Agent reasonably request to reflect the change. After any Administrative
Agents resignation or removal as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, the
provisions of this section inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by it
while it was Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.
(c) Rights as Lender. Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has
the same Rights under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those Rights
as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent. The term Lender, unless the
context otherwise indicates, includes Administrative Agent. Administrative Agents
resignation or removal does not impair or otherwise affect any Rights that it has or may
have in its capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that
Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrowers but is simply acting in
the capacity described in this agreement to alleviate administrative burdens for Borrowers
and Lenders, that Administrative Agent has no duties or responsibilities to Lenders or
Borrowers except those expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, and that Administrative
Agent in its capacity as a Lender has the same Rights as any other Lender.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 54
(d) Other Activities. Administrative Agent or any Lender may now or in the
future be engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing
transactions with any Borrower, act as trustee or depositary for any Borrower, or otherwise
be engaged in other transactions with any Borrower (collectively, the other
activities) not the subject of the Credit Documents. Without limiting the
Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the Credit Documents, neither Administrative
Agent nor any Lender is responsible to account to the other Lenders for those other
activities, and no Lender shall have any interest in any other Lenders activities, any
present or future guaranties by or for the account of any Borrower that are not contemplated
by or included in the Credit Documents, any present or future offset exercised by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of those other activities, any present or
future property taken as security for any of those other activities, or any property now or
hereafter in Administrative Agents or any other Lenders possession or control that may be
or become security for the obligations of any Borrower arising under the Credit Documents by
reason of the general description of indebtedness secured or of property contained in any
other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any of those other activities (but,
if any payments in respect of those guaranties or that property or the proceeds thereof is
applied by Administrative Agent or any Lender to reduce the Obligation, then each Lender is
entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in the Credit Documents).
12.2 Expenses. Each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Part of any reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys fees and other costs of
collection) incurred by Administrative Agent (while acting in such capacity) in connection with any
of the Credit Documents if Administrative Agent is not reimbursed from other sources within 30 days
after incurrence. Each Lender is entitled to receive its Pro Rata Part of any reimbursement that
it makes to Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent is subsequently reimbursed from other
sources.
12.3 Proportionate Absorption of Losses. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit
Documents, nothing in the Credit Documents gives any Lender any advantage over any other Lender
insofar as the Obligation is concerned or relieves any Lender from ratably absorbing any losses
sustained with respect to the Obligation (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by
any Lender result in any Borrower or any other obligor on the Obligation having any credit,
allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all or any part of that Lenders
Pro Rata Part of the Obligation).
12.4 Delegation of Duties; Reliance. Lenders may perform any of their duties or
exercise any of their Rights under the Credit Documents by or through Administrative Agent, and
Lenders and Administrative Agent may perform any of their duties or exercise any of their Rights
under the Credit Documents by or through their respective Representatives. Administrative Agent,
Lenders, and their respective Representatives (a) are entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected
in relying upon) any written or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters, upon opinion
of counsel selected by Administrative Agent or that Lender (but nothing in this clause (a)
permits Administrative Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing is required by this
agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is required by this agreement), (b) are
entitled to deem and treat each Lender as the owner and holder of its portion of the Obligation for
all purposes until, written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by
Administrative Agent (and any request, authorization, consent, or approval of any Lender is
conclusive and binding on each subsequent holder, assignee, or
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 55
transferee of or Participant in that Lenders portion of the Obligation until that notice is given and
received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless a
responsible officer of Administrative Agent, who handles matters associated with the Credit
Documents and transactions thereunder, has actual knowledge or Administrative Agent has been
notified by a Lender or a Borrower, and (d) are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by Administrative Agent
and are not liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of counsel, accountants, or experts.
12.5 Limitation of Administrative Agents Liability.
(a) Exculpation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or
Representatives will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them
under the Credit Documents in good faith and believed by it or them to be within the
discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Credit Documents or be responsible for
the consequences of any error of judgment (except for fraud, gross negligence, or willful
misconduct), and neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives
has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by virtue of the Credit Documents (but nothing
in this agreement negates the obligation of Administrative Agent to account for funds
received by it for the account of any Lender).
(b) Indemnity. Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss, cost,
liability, and expense, Administrative Agent may not be compelled to do any act under the
Credit Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the powers
thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Credit Documents. If
Administrative Agent requests instructions from Lenders, or Required Lenders, as the case
may be, with respect to any act or action in connection with any Credit Document,
Administrative Agent is entitled to refrain (without incurring any liability to any Person
by so refraining) from that act or action unless and until it has received instructions. In
no event, however, may Administrative Agent or any of its Representatives be required to
take any action that it or they determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous
civil liability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any right
of action against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agents acting or
refraining from acting under this agreement in accordance with instructions of Required
Lenders.
(c) Reliance. Administrative Agent is not responsible to any Lender or any
Participant for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon
Administrative Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any Company and the risks
involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity, or
the due execution of any Credit Document (except by Administrative Agent), (iii) any
representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement made therein (except
by Administrative Agent) or furnished thereunder or in connection therewith, (iv) the
adequacy of any collateral now or hereafter securing the Obligation or the existence,
priority, or perfection of any Lien now or hereafter granted or purported to be granted on
the collateral under any Credit Document, or (v) observation of or compliance with any of
the terms, covenants, or
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 56
conditions of any Credit Document on the part of any Company. EACH LENDER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES
AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST (BUT LIMITED TO SUCH LENDERS COMMITMENT PERCENTAGE
OF) ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS,
SUITS, COSTS, REASONABLE EXPENSES, AND REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY THEM IN ANY WAY RELATING
TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THEM UNDER THE
CREDIT DOCUMENTS IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH
AMOUNTS BY ANY COMPANY. ALTHOUGH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE
RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE,
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
12.6 Event of Default. While an Event of Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly
confer in order that Required Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of
action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders. Administrative Agent is entitled to act or
refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so acting or
refraining) unless and until it has received instructions from Required Lenders. In actions with
respect to any Companys property, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each
Lender.
12.7 Limitation of Liability. No Lender or any Participant will incur any liability
to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in bad faith, and neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant will incur any liability to any other Person for
any act or omission of any other Lender or any Participant.
12.8 Relationship of Lenders. The Credit Documents do not create a partnership or
joint venture among Administrative Agent and Lenders or among Lenders.
12.9 Benefits of Agreement. None of the provisions of this section inure to the
benefit of any Company or any other Person except Administrative Agent and Lenders. Therefore, no
Company or any other Person is entitled to rely upon, or entitled to raise as a defense, in any
manner whatsoever, the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with these
provisions.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 57
SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS.
13.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Credit Documents shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective
successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or
obligations under the Credit Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in
compliance with Section 13.3. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that
clause (ii) of this Section 13.1 relates only to absolute assignments and does not
prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or
assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this agreement and any Note to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security
interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the
parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 13.3. The Administrative
Agent may treat the Person which made any loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 13.3; provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow
instructions from the Person which made any loan or which holds any Note to direct payments
relating to such loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any loan or any
Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the
Credit Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any loan (whether or not
a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder or assignee of the rights to such loan.
13.2 Participations.
(a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of
its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or
other entities (Participants) participating interests in any loan owing to such
Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of
such Lender under the Credit Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of
participating interests to a Participant, such Lenders obligations under the Credit
Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner
of its loans and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes
under the Credit Documents, all amounts payable by each Borrower under this agreement shall
be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and
Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under the Credit Documents.
(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without
the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of
the Credit Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any
loan or any Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal,
interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such loan
or such Commitment, extends the Stated Termination Date, postpones any date fixed for any
regularly scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such loan or any
such Commitment, releases any guarantor of any such loan or releases all or substantially
all of the collateral, if any, securing any such loan.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 58
(c) Benefit of Setoff. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its
participating
interest in amounts owing under the Credit Documents to the same extent as if the
amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Credit
Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in
Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each
Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by
exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each
Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to
be shared in accordance with Section 11.1 as if each Participant were a Lender.
13.3 Assignments.
(a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or
other entities (Purchasers) all or any part of its rights and obligations under
the Credit Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit
E or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of
Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming
effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof;
provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent
of Borrowers shall not be required. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an
Affiliate thereof shall (unless each of Borrowers and Administrative Agent otherwise
consents) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the remaining
amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment (calculated as at the date of such assignment)
or outstanding loans (if the applicable Commitment has been terminated).
(b) Effect; Effective Date. Upon (i) delivery to Administrative Agent of an
assignment, together with any consents required by Section 13.3(a), and (ii) payment
of a $4,000 fee from the Purchaser or the assigning Lender to Administrative Agent for
processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by Administrative Agent), such
assignment shall become effective on the effective date specified in such assignment. The
assignment shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the
consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitments and loans under the applicable
assignment agreement constitutes plan assets as defined under ERISA and that the rights
and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Credit Documents will not be plan assets
under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for
all purposes be a Lender party to this agreement and any other Credit Document executed by
or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under
the Credit Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no
further consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders or Administrative Agent shall be required
to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Commitments and loans
assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant
to this Section 13.3(b), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers
shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its loans be evidenced by
Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes
are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes,
are issued to such
Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments,
as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 59
13.4 Dissemination of Information. Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose
to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Credit Documents
by operation of law (each a Transferee) and any prospective Transferee any and all
information in such Lenders possession concerning the creditworthiness of Borrowers and their
respective Subsidiaries, so long as such Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees in writing to
keep such information confidential.
13.5 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Credit Document is transferred to any
Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or
any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the
effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.19.
SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.
14.1 Nonbusiness Days. Any payment or action that is due under any Credit Document on
a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next succeeding Business Day (but interest shall
continue to accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the payment
concerns a LIBOR Rate Borrowing, in which case if the next-succeeding Business Day is in the next
calendar month, then such payment shall be made on the next-preceding Business Day.
14.2 Communications. Unless otherwise specifically provided, whenever any Credit
Document requires or permits any consent, approval, notice, request or demand from one party to
another, communication must be in writing (which may be by telex or fax) to be effective and shall
be deemed to have been given (i) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex number and
the appropriate answer back is received, (ii) if by fax, when transmitted to the appropriate fax
number and machine confirmation of receipt is received (and all communications sent by fax must be
confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any requirement in this parenthetical shall not
affect the date when the fax shall be deemed to have been delivered), (iii) if by mail, on the
third Business Day after it is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed and
deposited in the appropriate official postal service, (iv) if by e-mail, when transmitted to the
appropriate e-mail address of the receiving party (and all communications sent by e-mail must be
followed by a facsimile of that e-mail sent to the receiving party), or (v) if by any other means,
when actually delivered. Until changed by notice pursuant to this agreement, the addresses (and
fax numbers) for Borrowers and Administrative Agent are stated beside their respective signatures
to this agreement. The address (and fax number) for each Lender who becomes party to this
agreement shall be stated beside its name on Schedule 2 or in the Assignment and Assumption
pursuant to which it became a party.
14.3 Form and Number of Documents. The form, substance and number of counterparts of
each writing to be furnished under this agreement must be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and
its counsel.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 60
14.4 Exceptions to Covenants. No Company may take or fail to take any action that is
permitted as an exception to any of the covenants contained in any Credit Document if that action
or omission would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in any Credit Document.
14.5 Survival. All covenants, agreements, undertakings, representations, and
warranties made in any of the Credit Documents survive all closings under the Credit Documents and,
except as otherwise indicated, are not affected by any investigation made by any party.
14.6 Governing Governmental Requirements. Unless otherwise stated in any Credit
Document, the Governmental Requirements of the State of Texas and of the United States of America
govern the Rights and duties of the parties to the Credit Documents and the validity, construction,
enforcement, and interpretation of the Credit Documents.
14.7 Invalid Provisions. Any provision in any Credit Document held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Credit Document shall be construed and
enforced as if that provision had never been included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in
full force and effect and shall not be affected by the severed provision. Administrative Agent,
Lenders and each Company party to the affected Credit Document agree to negotiate, in good faith,
the terms of a replacement provision as similar to the severed provision as may be possible and be
legal, valid and enforceable.
14.8 Conflicts Between Credit Documents. The provisions of this agreement control if
in conflict (i.e., the provisions contradict each other as opposed to a Credit Document containing
additional provisions not in conflict) with the provisions of any other Credit Document.
14.9 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.
Each Companys obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect until
termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Principal Debt and of all interest, fees,
and other amounts of the Obligation then due and owing, except that Sections 3.16,
3.18, Section 11, and Section 13, and any other provisions under the Credit
Documents expressly intended to survive by the terms hereof or by the terms of the applicable
Credit Documents, shall survive such termination. If at any time any payment of the principal of
or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by any Borrower under any Credit Document is
rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or
reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, the obligations of each Company under the Credit
Documents with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but
not made at such time.
14.10 Amendments, Consents, Conflicts, and Waivers.
(a) Required Lenders. Unless otherwise specifically provided (i) the
provisions of this agreement may be amended, modified, or waived, only by an instrument in
writing executed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent, and Required Lenders and supplemented
only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms of this
agreement, and (ii) the other Credit Documents may only
be the subject of an amendment, modification, or waiver that has been approved by
Required Lenders and Borrowers.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 61
(b) All Lenders. Any amendment to or consent or waiver under this agreement or
any Credit Document that purports to accomplish any of the following must be by an
instrument in writing executed by Borrowers and Administrative Agent and executed (or
approved, as the case may be) by each Lender: (i) Extends the due date or decreases the
amount of any scheduled payment or amortization of the Obligation beyond the date specified
in the Credit Documents; (ii) decreases any rate or amount of interest, fees, or other sums
payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders under this agreement (except such reductions as
are contemplated by this agreement); (iii) changes the definition of Commitment,
Commitment Percentage, Required Lenders, or Pro Rata Part;
(iv) increases any one or more Lenders Commitments; or (v) changes this clause (b)
or any other matter specifically requiring the consent of all Lenders under this agreement.
(c) Conflicts. Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of
this agreement and terms and provisions in any other Credit Document is controlled by the
terms and provisions of this agreement.
(d) Waivers. No course of dealing or any failure or delay by Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Representatives with respect to exercising any
Right of Administrative Agent or any Lender under this agreement operates as a waiver
thereof. A waiver must be in writing and signed by Administrative Agent and Lenders (or
Required Lenders, if permitted under this agreement) to be effective, and a waiver will be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.
14.11 Multiple Counterparts. Any Credit Document may be executed in a number of
identical counterparts, and by each party thereto on separate counterparts (including, at
Administrative Agents discretion, counterparts or signature pages executed and transmitted by fax)
with the same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document. All counterparts must be
construed together to constitute one and the same instrument.
14.12 VENUE, SERVICE OF PROCESS, AND JURY TRIAL.
(a) VENUE AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH BORROWER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS
AND ASSIGNS, IRREVOCABLY (I) SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND
FEDERAL COURTS IN TEXAS, (II) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR IN THE FUTURE HAVE TO THE LAYING
OF VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT AND THE
OBLIGATION BROUGHT IN THE DISTRICT COURTS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS, DALLAS
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 62
DIVISION, (III) WAIVES ANY CLAIMS
THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (IV)
CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THOSE COURTS IN ANY LITIGATION BY THE MAILING
OF COPIES OF THAT PROCESS BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, POSTAGE PREPAID, BY
HAND DELIVERY, OR BY DELIVERY BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COURIER SERVICE, AND SERVICE SHALL
BE DEEMED COMPLETE UPON DELIVERY OF THE LEGAL PROCESS AT ITS ADDRESS FOR PURPOSES OF THIS
AGREEMENT, AND (V) AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY CREDIT DOCUMENT
ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT
IN ONE OF THE FOREGOING COURTS.
(b) JURY WAIVER. EACH OF BORROWERS, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY
VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY
PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE)
BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDERS TO PROVIDE THE
FINANCING DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS.
(c) General. The scope of each of the foregoing waivers is intended to be all
encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the
subject matter of this transaction, including, without limitation, contract claims, tort
claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. EACH
BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENTS
AND EACH LENDERS AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HAVE ALREADY RELIED ON THESE WAIVERS IN ENTERING INTO
THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON EACH
OF THESE WAIVERS IN RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH BORROWER FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS
THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THESE WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY AGREES TO EACH WAIVER FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. The
waivers in this section are irrevocable, meaning that they may not be modified either orally
or in writing, and these waivers apply to any future renewals, extensions, amendments,
modifications, or replacements in respect of the applicable Credit Document. In connection
with any Litigation, this agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the
court.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Page 63
14.13 ENTIRETY. THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN BORROWER,
THE OTHER COMPANIES, LENDERS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
14.14 Amendment and Restatement. This agreement amends and restates in its entirety
the Existing Credit Agreement. The execution of this agreement and the other Credit Documents
executed in connection herewith does not extinguish the indebtedness outstanding in connection with
the Existing Credit Agreement nor does it constitute a novation with respect to such indebtedness.
EACH BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT AS OF THE DATE HEREOF THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OR OFFSETS
AGAINST OR DEFENSES OR COUNTERCLAIMS TO ITS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EXISTING

(hereinafter referenced) at 2200 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201, (i) the principal amount of
FORTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($40,000,000) (or such lesser amount as shall equal the aggregate

Agreement, and (ii) interest on the unpaid principal amount of each such Borrowing from time to
time remaining outstanding and unpaid from the date of each such Borrowing until it shall be paid
in full, at the rates per annum and on the dates provided for in the Credit Agreement.
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning
and effect as used and defined in that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
December 28, 2010 (as amended and otherwise modified, and in effect, the Credit
Agreement), by and among PMC, First Western, certain Lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
National Association, as Administrative Agent for those Lenders. Reference is hereby made to the
Credit Agreement for all intents and purposes.
This Note is a Revolving Note executed by PMC and is referred to in, governed by, and
subject to, and is entitled to the benefits of, the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement as
therein stated and referenced. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for a statement of
the agreements, rights, remedies, benefits and obligations of Payee and the covenants, agreements,
rights, duties and obligations of PMC in relation hereto, including provisions for acceleration of
the maturity hereof, interest rate and amount limitations and voluntary and mandatory prepayments
hereon; but this reference to the Credit Agreement, or any provision thereof, shall not affect or
impair the irrevocable, absolute and unconditional obligation of PMC to pay principal of, and
interest on, this Note when due. Unless the maturity of this Note shall have sooner occurred, the
outstanding principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be
finally and fully payable on the Termination Date.
The date, amount, Type, and interest rate of each Borrowing made by Lender to PMC, and each
payment made on account of the principal thereof, and accrued interest thereon, shall be recorded
by Payee on its books and records, and prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by Payee on a
schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof; and all recordations and endorsements made by
Payee shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive of all such matters and binding on all Persons.
Payees failure to make or error in making any such recordations or
endorsements shall not diminish, reduce or relieve PMCs obligation to pay (i) all Borrowings
made by Lender and then outstanding and (ii) all accrued and earned interest on the amounts thereof
from time to time outstanding and unpaid, pursuant to this Note.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, this Note may be declared to be, or shall become,

part) any security or guaranty now or hereafter for the payment of this Note, and consent and agree
to any partial or full substitution, exchange or release of any such security or guaranty or the

that it will not be necessary for any holder hereof, in order to enforce payment by it of this Note
to first institute suit or exhaust its remedies against PMC or any other Persons liable herefor, or
to enforce it rights against any such security herefor or guarantor or any other Person with
respect hereto, and consent to any or all extensions, increases or renewals or postponements,
modifications or rearrangements of time or payment of this Note or any other indulgence with
respect hereto, without notice thereof to, or consent thereto from, any of them.
Each of PMC and Payee hereby agrees that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended,

Agreement in any manner, including without limitation, to any account or arrangement evidenced or

and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to conflict of law
principles) and, to the extent controlling, federal laws of the United States of America. This
Note has been executed, delivered and accepted and is payable at, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas.

TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

modification (but not in extinguishment or novation) of the indebtedness evidenced by that certain

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FIRST WESTERN SBLC, INC., a Florida corporation
(First Western), irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay to the order of JPMORGAN
CHASE BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association with its office in Dallas, Texas
(Lender, and together with each subsequent holder hereof, Payee), at the
