ARTICLE II

REVOLVING LOAN

2.1 Revolving Loan. The Bank agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Revolving Loans from time to time in accordance herewith, but in no event in excess of maximum outstanding principal balance of $3,500,000 to the Borrower pursuant to the Commitment to be funded immediately upon the Borrower’s request and satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof for the limited purposes described in Recital A of this Agreement. Unless the Commitment shall be sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Revolving Loan shall mature on May 17, 2010. Borrower may repay all outstanding balances and terminate this Agreement and the Guaranties at anytime by providing written notice to the Bank. Upon the closing of the Simplification of Capital Structure, the Commitment shall be terminated and all outstanding balances shall be due and payable and, upon such payment in full, the Guaranties shall be terminated. In no event shall the amount advanced and outstanding from time to time on the Revolving Loan be in excess of the original face principal amount of the Note more particularly described in Section 2.2 below.

2.2 Revolving Note. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the order of the Bank the Note in the principal amount of $3,500,000.00, the form of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A and hereby made a part herein. The Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date and shall bear interest payable monthly on the last day of each calendar month, commencing May 31, 2009, on unpaid balances of principal from time to time outstanding at a variable annual rate equal from day to day to the Applicable Rate. After maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), the Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate payable on demand on any unpaid balances. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, but assessed for the actual number of days elapsed in each accrual period.

All payments and prepayments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds. Any payments or prepayments on the Note received by the Bank after 2:00 o’clock p.m. (applicable current time in Tulsa, Oklahoma) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any prepayment shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest then to the next succeeding installment(s) of principal. All outstanding principal of and accrued interest on the Note not previously paid hereunder shall be due and payable at final maturity on May 17, 2010, unless such maturity shall be extended by the Bank in writing or accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof.

Each Revolving Loan requested by Borrower from Bank shall (a) be requested in writing by Borrower, no later than 1:00 p.m. (applicable current time in Tulsa, Oklahoma) on the date the advance is to be made; (b) not cause the aggregate outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the Note to exceed the stated face principal amount thereof and (c) be advanced by Bank on the applicable date, provided the request is timely made in accordance with clause (a) above and all other conditions of funding are met. All advances made by Bank shall be deposited to such general deposit account of Borrower or otherwise as the Bank is instructed in writing from time to time, and Bank shall have no responsibility to monitor the distribution of such advances in any other respect. In consideration of Bank’s permitting Borrower to make requests for Revolving Loans by telephone, Borrower states that it is fully aware of the risks attendant

 

8


thereto, and agree to accept all such risks and to hold Bank harmless from any loss which Borrower may incur by reason of such non-written request, other than such as result from Bank’s gross negligence or wanton disregard. All Revolving Loans made by Bank on the Note and all payments or prepayments of principal and interest thereon made by Borrower shall be recorded by Bank in its records, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Revolving Note. The failure to so record shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Note to repay the principal amount of each Revolving Loan together with all interest accrued thereon.

2.3 Interest. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall accrue on any past due interest and on the principal amount of the Note from time to time outstanding at the fixed per annum Applicable Rate. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Note shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate but in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable Law.

2.4 Loan Fee. Borrower shall pay to the Bank on the Closing Date a fully earned and non-refundable loan origination fee of $5,000 in immediately available funds, U.S. Dollars.

2.5 Maximum Lawful Interest Rate. It is not the intention of the Bank or the Borrower to violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction relating to usury or other restrictions on the maximum lawful interest rate. The Loan Documents and all other agreements between the Borrower and the Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no event shall the interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use, forbearance or detention of money loaned, or for the payment or performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Loan Document, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any such circumstances the Bank should ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which would exceed interest at the highest lawful rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds any unpaid balance of principal, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Bank for the use, forbearance or detention of monies advanced under the Revolving Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Indebtedness until payment in full so that the rate of interest on account of the Indebtedness is uniform throughout the term thereof. This Section 2.5 shall control every other provision of the Loan Documents and all other agreements between the Bank and the Borrower.

2.6 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Bank determines reasonably and in good faith that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market generally adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining its Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period (as certified by the Bank), then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no

 

9


longer exist, (i) any continuation of any Revolving Loan as a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if a Eurodollar Revolving Loan is requested by Borrower, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted to the extent otherwise allowed hereunder.

2.7 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on the Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by the Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Revolving Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan) or to increase the cost to the Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to the Bank (together with reasonably detailed documentation supporting such request) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If the Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s capital or on the capital of the Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, the Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Bank, to a level below that which the Bank or the Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Bank’s policies and the policies of Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Bank (together with reasonably detailed documentation supporting such request) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank or the Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.7 together with supporting documentation demonstrating the calculation of such amount in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay the Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

 

10


(d) Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Bank pursuant to this Section 2.7 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Bank notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 shall not apply in the case of Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.8.

2.8 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8) the Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.8) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (except as a result that such sums were imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Bank as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Bank.

 

11


(e) If the Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.8 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Bank in the event the Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.8 shall not be construed to require the Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(f) To the extent the Bank is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, to the extent the Bank is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower to permit such payments to be made without such withholding Tax or at a reduced rate.
