Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:
Since the most recent filing of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have continued to review and evaluate their investment in the Issuer as well as the Issuer’s business and prospects. The Reporting Persons have also reviewed the adequacy of the $10.30 per share cash offer made by Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC and its affiliates to acquire the Issuer, particularly in light of the significant margin expansion the Reporting Persons believe the Issuer will realize in future periods from management’s recently implemented information technology infrastructure enhancements, strategic pricing initiatives, ongoing facility rationalization, and other expense management and margin improvement initiatives. Based on the foregoing, the Reporting Persons are considering strategic plans and proposals that, if effected, could result in a competing acquisition proposal for the Issuer or one or more of the matters identified in Item 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons anticipate engaging in communications with the Issuer’s Board of Directors, financial advisors, shareholders, and/or other persons with respect to such plans and proposals.

The foregoing description of the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Pledge Agreement attached as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference herein.

The Interest Reserve Agreement provides that accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note will be paid using funds on deposit in the interest reserve account. Under the Interest Reserve Agreement, PDLP Distribution has also granted Encore a security interest in funds deposited in the interest reserve account to provide additional security for PDLP Distribution’s obligations under the Note.

PROMISSORY NOTE
 
US $5,650,000.00   March 20, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PDLP DISTRIBUTION, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Borrower”), promises to pay ENCORE BANK, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”), or order, at 9 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046, Attn: David Webster or such other place as the holder hereof may designate in writing, the amount of FIVE MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 Dollars ($5,650,000.00) or such lesser amount as Lender may have actually advanced to Borrower, with interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date of such advance, until paid, at the Stated Rate (as hereinafter defined). This Promissory Note may be referred to herein as the “Note,” and the loan evidenced hereby may be referred to herein as the “Loan.” The Loan evidenced by this Note is secured by, among other things, that certain Stock Pledge and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Instrument”), executed by Borrower, encumbering certain property more particularly described therein, and reference is made thereto for rights as to acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note. This Note, the Instrument, and all other documents or instruments given by Borrower or any guarantor and accepted by Lender for purposes of evidencing, securing, perfecting, or guaranteeing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be referred to as the “Loan Documents.” Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings indicated in the Instrument.
1. RATE OF INTEREST. The unpaid principal balance shall bear interest during each day of the term of the Loan at the per annum rate equal to the greater of: (a) the rate from time to time published by the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate for commercial banks, which interest rate shall change when and as said prime rate shall change, effective at the close of business on the day of such change; or (b) five and one-quarter percent (5.25%) per annum (herein called “Stated Rate”). All computations of interest shall be made by the Lender on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, that if such computation shall cause the amount of interest payable hereunder to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, all computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days.
2. DEFAULT RATE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues and in any event from and after the maturity of the Loan, the Loan and all other obligations under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Obligations”) shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), or (ii) five percent (5.00%) (calculated on the principal balance) in excess of the Stated Rate otherwise applicable under this Note (the “Default Rate”).
3. LATE CHARGES. If any payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is not paid within ten (10) days after the due date thereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.00%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder.
4. REPAYMENT.
A. Monthly Payments of Interest. Interest only at the Stated Rate is due and payable monthly as it accrues on the 15th day of each month, beginning April 15, 2008 and continuing through the Maturity Date (as defined below). Payments will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the remainder to reduction of the principal balance of the Loan. Payments of interest shall be made in accordance with that certain Interest Reserve and Security Agreement between Borrower and Lender dated as of the date hereof.
B. Payment at Maturity. The unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

 

 


 

C. Date and Time of Payment. Borrower shall receive credit for payments on the Loan which are transferred to the account of Lender as provided below (i) on the day that such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs by 3:00 p.m. (Houston time) on such day, or (ii) on the next succeeding Business Day after such funds are received by Lender if such receipt occurs after 3:00 p.m. (Houston time). Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
D. Manner of Payment. Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Note. All payments by Borrower on the Loan shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds.
5. MATURITY. To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other sums then owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on that date which is eighteen (18) months from the date hereof (the “Maturity Date”).
6. LAWFUL INTEREST. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws. In no event, whether by reason of demand for payment, prepayment, acceleration of the maturity hereof or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the holder hereof hereunder or otherwise exceed the maximum non-usurious amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever interest would otherwise be payable to the holder hereof in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the holder hereof shall be reduced automatically to the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the holder hereof shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest under applicable law which would apart from this provision be in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any amount which would have been excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing hereunder in the inverse order of its maturity and not to the payment of interest, or if such amount which would have been excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the holder hereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of such indebtedness so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum permitted by applicable law. The provisions of this paragraph shall control all existing and future agreements between Borrower and the holder hereof.
7. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Borrower shall have the right to prepay the unpaid principal balance of this Note without premium or penalty with accrued interest (including interest accrued at the Default Rate, if applicable) to the date of prepayment on the amount prepaid. Amounts paid or prepaid under this Note may not be reborrowed.
8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon and at any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, then at the option of Lender and without an additional notice, the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender may accelerate the Obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance (but subject to the expiration of such forbearance agreement or period).
9. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the obligation of Borrower or its successors or assigns to pay the outstanding principal balance of this Note and observe the covenants of Borrower contained herein and in the other Loan Documents, and without affecting the guaranty of any person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note, without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of Borrower (where applicable), the successors or assigns of Borrower or any guarantors, and without liability on the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of said outstanding principal balance or any part thereof, reduce the payments thereon, release anyone liable on any of said outstanding principal balance, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or subordination agreement, release any security given herefor take or release other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder.

Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof.
The holder hereof shall have the right to assign or transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Instrument and any or all of the other Loan Documents, as more specifically provided in the Instrument. Lender shall be released of any obligations to the extent that the same are so assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of “Lender” hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder.
10. ATTORNEYS’ FEES, COSTS OF COLLECTION. Borrower shall pay to Lender on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the Obligations, or in determining the rights and obligations of any parties hereto or thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by Borrower or any guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation, such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrower shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and in any appeal.
11. APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law.

4.12 Other Parties and Other Collateral. The obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against any other person or entity or against the security or liens or encumbrances available to Lender or any of its successors and assigns. Pledgor hereby waives any right to require that an action be brought against any other person or entity or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of any other person or entity prior to any exercise of rights or remedies hereunder. No renewal or extension of or any other indulgence with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof, no release of any security, no release of any person (including any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety) liable on the Obligations, no delay in enforcement of payment, and no delay or omission or lack of diligence or care in exercising any right or power with respect to the Obligations or any security therefor or guaranty thereof or under this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect the rights of Lender under the law, hereunder or under any other agreement pertaining to security for the Obligations. Pledgor waives any right to the benefit of or to require or control application of any other security or proceeds thereof, and agrees that Lender shall have no duty or obligation to Pledgor to apply to the Obligations any such other security or proceeds thereof.
4.13 Indemnification. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by or against Lender relating to the Collateral, Pledgor will save, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any obligor thereunder, arising out of or relating to a breach by Pledgor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of or relating to any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such obligor or its successors from Pledgor, and all such obligations of Pledgor shall be and shall remain enforceable against and only against Pledgor and shall not be enforceable against Lender.

5. RIGHTS AND POWERS OF LENDER
5.1 Voting Rights After Event of Default. After an Event of Default and for so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, exercise any voting rights under the Operating Documents and (i) Lender may, upon prior written notice to Pledgor of its intention to do so, exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights with respect to the Collateral, but under no circumstances is Lender obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) in addition to any other grants hereunder, upon such event, Pledgor hereby appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and irrevocable proxy to vote the Collateral in any manner Lender deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of the owners of the Corporation. The power of attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid.
5.2 Voting Rights Prior to Event of Default. Prior to an Event of Default and for so long as any of the Obligations remain outstanding, Pledgor may exercise all voting rights, and all other ownership or consensual rights with respect to the Collateral; provided, however, Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Lender (i) vote or take any consensual action with respect to the Collateral which would materially and adversely affect the Collateral or Lender’s secured interest therein; including, without limitation accepting any distributions from the Corporation not permitted under Section 4.3 hereof; or (ii) vote or take any consensual action with respect to the Corporation’s governing documents; provided, however, that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed action.
5.3 Security Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas (“UCC”).
6. DEFAULT.
6.1 Events of Default. The following shall be deemed “Events of Default” hereunder:
(a) The failure of Pledgor: (i) to make any payment under the Note when due, or (ii) to make any other payment under the Credit Documents when due or after demand;
(b) Default in the performance or observance of the terms and conditions of Pledgor’s covenants herein;
(c) Any representation or warranty made under this Agreement shall be incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made;
(d) An Event of Default shall occur under the any Credit Document;
(e) A proceeding is instituted by a party other than Corporation or Pledgor or any affiliate of Corporation or Pledgor seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of Corporation or Pledgor in any case under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any other applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or Pledgor, or for any substantial part of the property of the Corporation or Pledgor, or for the winding-up or liquidation of the business or affairs of the Corporation or Pledgor, and such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, or a decree or order shall be entered granting the relief sought in such proceeding;
(f) The Corporation or Pledgor shall generally fail to pay, or admit an inability to pay, its debts as they become due, or shall voluntarily commence proceedings under the Federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter constituted, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Pledgor or the Corporation shall take any action consenting to or in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

 

4


 

(g) Levy on, seizure or attachment of the Collateral by any person or entity; or
(h) the average trading price of the Stock shall be equal to or less than $7.00 per share for any consecutive ten (10) trading day period.
6.2 Remedies of Lender Upon Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, Lender without notice or demand may enforce payment of the Obligations then due, whether due by acceleration in whole or part or otherwise, and may exercise any rights under the UCC, rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement, or otherwise. The proceeds of any disposition of Collateral after an Event of Default shall be applied to the Obligations in such order and in such manner as Lender in its discretion shall decide. Lender may transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral at a public or private sale or make other commercially reasonable disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof after twenty (20) days notice to Pledgor, and Lender may purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof at any public or private sale, and any such sale made in good faith by Lender shall be deemed to be “commercially reasonable”. Failure of Lender to exercise any of the above rights, powers and remedies (“Rights”) in the event of any default shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in connection with such default or any subsequent default. The aforementioned Rights are cumulative of each other; the resort to any Right or Rights shall not prevent the concurrent or subsequent employment of any other appropriate Rights and no single or partial exercise of any Right shall exhaust it, or preclude any other or further exercise thereof, and every Right may be exercised at any time and from time to time. No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any Right, shall be deemed a waiver or modification of any Right.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default under Section 6.1(h) above, Lender shall have the right, after five (5) business days notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default and opportunity to cure (it being agreed among the parties that an increase in the average trading price during such five (5) business day period shall not cure such Event of Default by itself), to sell the Stock and to apply the proceeds towards the Obligations in such order and in such manner as Lender in its discretion shall decide.
7. GENERAL
7.1 Parties Bound. Lender’s rights and interests hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns, and in the event of any assignment or transfer of any of the Obligations or the Collateral, Lender thereafter shall be fully discharged from any responsibility with respect to the Collateral so assigned or transferred, but Lender shall retain all rights and powers hereby given with respect to any of the Obligations or Collateral not so assigned or transferred. All representations, warranties and agreements of Pledgor shall be binding upon the personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns of Pledgor. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
7.2 Waiver. No delay of Lender in exercising any power or right shall operate as a waiver or modification thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by Lender of any right hereunder or of any default by Pledgor shall be binding upon Lender unless in writing, and no failure by Lender to exercise any power or right hereunder or waiver of any default by Pledgor shall operate as a waiver of any other or further exercise of such right or power or of any further default.
7.3 Release of Security Interest. Upon payment or performance in full of all Obligations secured hereby, Lender shall release the security interest granted herein, release the Collateral as provided in Section 1.1, and execute any such termination statements as may be necessary therefor.

 

5


 

7.4 Governing Law. The validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall, except to the extent expressly provided below, for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of law principles, and applicable United States federal law, and is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, such laws. Pledgor acknowledges that the Debt was submitted for review, negotiation and approval to Lender at its principal place of business in the State of Texas, and that any payments due under the Debt shall be made to Lender’s offices in the State of Texas at the address as set forth herein.
7.5 Forum. All obligations of Pledgor hereunder are payable and performable in Harris County, Texas.

EXHIBIT 4
INTEREST RESERVE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS INTEREST RESERVE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 20, 2008, by PDLP DISTRIBUTION, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Borrower”), in favor of ENCORE BANK, N.A., its successors, transferees and assigns (“Lender”).
RECITALS
A. Borrower is indebted to Lender in the principal sum of FIVE MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,650,000.00) in lawful money of the United States of America as evidenced by its promissory note of even date herewith given to Lender (the note together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments thereof shall collectively be referred to as the “Note”) (the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, together with interest accrued thereon, shall collectively be referred to as the “Loan”). The Loan shall be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions provided in the Note.
B. The Loan is secured by, among other things, a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof (capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Pledge Agreement). The Note, the Pledge Agreement, this Agreement, and all other documents or instruments given by Borrower or any guarantor and accepted by Lender for purposes of evidencing, securing, perfecting, or guaranteeing the Loan may be referred to as the “Loan Documents.”
C. Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Borrower enter into this Agreement and deposit certain sums with Lender as provided in this Agreement (the “Interest Reserve”) as additional security for the Obligations.
AGREEMENT
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Borrower agrees in favor of Lender as follows:
1. Funding of Interest Reserve.
(a) Upon the closing and funding of the Loan, Borrower shall deposit the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) into the Interest Reserve Account (as hereinafter defined).
(b) The Interest Reserve shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The obligation of Borrower to deliver the Interest Reserve to Lender is separate from and in addition to all other obligations to pay or deliver funds (whether principal, interest, fees, expenses, deposits, escrows, reserves, or otherwise) to Lender under the Loan Documents.
2. Interest Reserve Account.
(a) Lender shall deposit the Interest Reserve (to the extent it receives the same) in an interest bearing account (the “Interest Reserve Account”) with Lender. As used herein, the “Interest Reserve Account Funds” shall mean the Interest Reserve and all interest on and proceeds thereof. The Interest Reserve Account Funds shall not constitute a trust fund. Lender or a designated agent or representative of Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Interest Reserve Account.
(b) The Interest Reserve Account Funds shall be held and/or disbursed by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

 


 

3. Pledge of Interest Reserve Account Funds as Additional Security. Borrower assigns, pledges, and grants to Lender a security interest in and to the Interest Reserve Account Funds and the Interest Reserve Account as security for all of Borrower’s Obligations.
4. Default.
4.1 Application of Interest Reserve Account Upon Occurrence of Event of Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Documents, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may use the Interest Reserve Account Funds (or any portion thereof) for (i) repayment and performance of the Loan and other Obligations; provided, however, that such application of funds shall not cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default; and (ii) the reimbursement of Lender for any expenses, fees or other compensation as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies set forth in any of the Loan Documents or otherwise as permitted by applicable law pertaining to the Interest Reserve Account Funds and Interest Reserve Account. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after an Event of Default Lender is expressly authorized to apply all or any portion of the Interest Reserve Account Funds against the Loan or the other Obligations in any order that Lender determines, to apply all or any portion of the Interest Reserve Account Funds otherwise as provided herein, or to dispose of any or all of the same in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Lender’s rights to draw upon the Interest Reserve Account Funds shall not be exclusive of any other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents, and each and every right shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be enforced separately, successively or together, and may be exercised from time to time as often as Lender may deem necessary.
4.2 Borrower’s Other Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any manner whatsoever alter, impair or affect the obligations of Borrower, or relieve Borrower of any of its obligations to make payments and perform all of its other obligations required under the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
5. Disbursements from the Interest Reserve Account. As used herein, “Interest Obligations” shall mean the interest accrued and owing under the terms of the Note. Provided no Event of Default has occurred under the Note, the Pledge Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall release to itself sufficient funds from the Interest Reserve Account to cover the Interest Obligations as and when the same become due and payable under the terms of the Note.
6. Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies herein provided, Lender shall have all rights and remedies available under applicable law. None of the rights and remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to Lender under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other rights, and each and every right shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be enforced separately, successively or together, and may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed necessary by Lender.
7. Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from the holding of the Interest Reserve Account Funds, except to the extent caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
8. Determinations by Lender. Except as otherwise provided herein, in any instance where the consent or approval of Lender may be given or is required, or where any determination, judgment or decision is to be rendered by Lender under this Agreement, the granting, withholding or denial of such consent or approval and the rendering of such determination, judgment or decision shall be made or exercised by Lender, in good faith and its reasonable discretion.

9. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and no third party shall have any rights or interest in the Interest Reserve Account, the Interest Reserve Account Funds, or this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to create an obligation on the part of Lender to any third party, nor shall any third party have a right to enforce against Lender any right that Borrower may have under this Agreement.
10. Termination of this Agreement. Upon payment of the Loan and performance of the Obligations, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Interest Reserve Account Funds of Borrower.
11. Entire Agreement; Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement contains the complete and entire understanding of Borrower and Lender with respect to the matters covered. No specific waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be considered as a general waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is in conflict with any provision of the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents regarding the Interest Reserve Account or the Interest Reserve Account Funds, the provisions contained in this Agreement shall control.
12. No Agency or Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute Lender as a joint venturer, partner or agent of Borrower, or render Lender liable for any debts, obligations, acts, omissions, representations, or contracts of Borrower.
13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF SAID STATE, WITHOUT REFERENCE OR GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE.
14. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be given in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.
15. No Oral Change. This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or Lender, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.
16. Liability. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.
17. Inapplicable Provisions. If any term, covenant or condition this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable this Agreement shall be construed without such provision.
18. Headings, etc. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.
19. Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
20. Number and Gender. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.
