PROMISSORY NOTE

One Financial Plaza

Providence, Rhode Island 02903-2448

 

$50,000,000.00

December 13, 2007

For value received, the undersigned promises to pay to the order of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“Lender”), having its principal place of business in Providence, Rhode Island (together with any other holder of this Note, hereinafter referred to as the “Holder”), the principal sum of Fifty Million Dollars and No Cents ($50,000,000.00), together with interest thereon as provided herein.

At any time on or after January 7, 2008 and on or before January 11, 2008, the Lender agrees to make an additional loan to the Holder in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000,000 (the “Delayed Draw Loan”); provided, that, the Lender shall be required to make such Delayed Draw Loan only if the following conditions are satisfied (i) the Holder delivers to Lender 3 Business Days’ notice of its intention to borrow the Delayed Draw Loan, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (iii) the Holder has delivered to the Lender a promissory note in substantially the same form as this Promissory Note in respect of the Delayed Draw Loan. The undersigned hereby acknowledges, understands and agrees that Lender intends to assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Note, the Delayed Draw Loan and the Security Agreement to HSBC Bank USA, National Association (“HSBC”) effective immediately upon the execution and delivery of this Note, the Security Agreement and the documents, instruments and agreements in connection with the Delayed Draw Loan, and upon the effectiveness of such assignment and delegation (i) HSBC shall make all advances required under the Note and the Delayed Draw Loan directly to the undersigned notwithstanding that Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC is named as the Lender therein and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to make the advances contemplated by this Note and the Delayed Draw Loan.

This Promissory Note is one of the “Notes,” and the obligations of the undersigned hereunder are “Obligations” secured by the “Collateral,” as such terms are defined or referred to in the Collateral Security Agreement Schedule No. 17910-11701 dated as of December 13, 2007, incorporating by reference the terms and conditions of that certain Master Security Agreement No. 17910 dated as of December 13, 2007, each between the undersigned and Lender (the “Security Agreement”).

This Note shall be payable by the undersigned to Holder in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest (the “Payments”) commencing on January 13, 2008, and continuing monthly thereafter through and including January 13, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). Each Payment shall be due and payable on the same day of the month as the initial Payment set forth above in each succeeding payment period during the term of this Note (each, a “Payment Date”). Interest shall accrue on the entire principal amount of this Note outstanding from time to time at a fixed rate of 5.69% per annum (the “Interest Rate”), from the date hereof until the principal amount of this Note is paid in full, and shall be due and payable on each Payment Date. All interest hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of 12 months of 30 days each. Payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be due, payable on each Payment Date in the amount of Nine Hundred Fifty Nine Thousand Four Hundred Forty Nine Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($959,449.19).

The final Payment due and payable on the Maturity Date shall in any event be equal to the entire outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, charges and other amounts owing hereunder and under the Security Agreement.

The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note may be prepaid in full (but not in part) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Holder, provided that any such prepayment shall be made together with (a) all accrued interest and other charges owing hereunder or under the Security Agreement, and (b) a prepayment fee equal to the following specified percentage of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note to be prepaid: .50 percent if such prepayment is made in connection with a Trigger Event Prepayment (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement), or 1.0 percent if such prepayment is to be made other than in connection with a Trigger Event.


Time is of the essence in the payment and performance of those Obligations which are evidenced by this Note. In the event any amount due hereunder is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due, the undersigned agrees to pay an administrative and late charge equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) on and in addition to the amount of such overdue amount, or (b) the maximum charges allowable under applicable law. In addition, the undersigned shall pay overdue interest on any delinquent Payment or other Obligation due (by reason of acceleration or otherwise) from thirty (30) days after the due date thereof through the date of payment thereof at a rate of interest equal to the lesser of: (a) 1.5% per month, or (b) the maximum rate of interest allowable under then applicable law.

Each payment hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States and shall be payable to such account or address, as Holder shall from time to time direct the undersigned. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday, or the equivalent for banks generally under the laws of the State of Rhode Island, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest. All amounts received hereunder or in respect of this Note shall be applied first, to accrued late charges and any other costs or expenses due and owing hereunder or under the terms of the Security Agreement; second, to accrued interest; and third, to unpaid principal. It is the intention of Holder to comply with all applicable usury laws. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any provision contained herein require or permit interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be paid by the undersigned. If necessary to give effect to these provisions, Holder will, at its option, in accordance with applicable law, either refund any amount to the undersigned to the extent that it was in excess of that allowed by applicable law or credit such excess amount against the then unpaid principal balance hereunder.

Failure to pay this Note or any installment hereunder promptly when due, or the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement, or default or failure in the performance or due observance of any of the terms, conditions or obligations under any other agreement or instrument between the undersigned (or any endorser, guarantor, surety or other party liable for the undersigned’s obligations hereunder, or any other entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the undersigned) and Holder (or any other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Holder), shall constitute a default hereunder and entitle Holder to accelerate the maturity of this Note and to declare the entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest and other charges hereunder (including prepayment fees calculated as of the date of default) and under the Security Agreement to be immediately due and payable, and to proceed at once to exercise each and every one of the remedies provided in the Security Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity.

The undersigned represents that the undersigned has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Note, and that this Note constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned.

The undersigned hereby agrees that the Lender or any Holder may at any time assign, endorse or grant participations in all or any portion of this Note.

The undersigned and all other parties who may be liable (whether as endorsers, guarantors, sureties or otherwise) for payment of any sum or sums due or to become due under the terms of this Note waive diligence, presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration and notice of any other kind whatsoever and agree to pay all costs incurred by Holder in enforcing its rights under this Note or the Security Agreement, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, and they do hereby consent to any number of renewals or extensions at any time in the payment of this Note. No extension of time for payment of this Note made by any agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of this Note shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of the undersigned under this Note, either in whole or in part. No delay or failure by Holder hereof in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy shall be deemed to be a waiver of the same or any part thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any failure to exercise the same in any instance preclude any future exercise thereof, or exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy, and the rights and remedies provided for hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available at law or in equity. The Holder of this Note may proceed against all or any of the Collateral securing this Note or against any guarantor hereof, or may proceed contemporaneously or in the first instance against the undersigned, in such order and at such times following default hereunder as Holder may determine in its sole discretion. All of the undersigned’s obligations under this Note are absolute and unconditional, and shall not be subject to any offset or deduction whatsoever. The undersigned waives any right to assert, by way of counterclaim or affirmative defense in any action to enforce the undersigned’s obligations hereunder, any claim whatsoever against the Holder of this Note.

(iii) Permitted Liens; (g) [reserved]; (h) Customer shall furnish to Lender such information concerning the condition, location, use and operation of the Collateral as Lender may reasonably request; (i) if any Collateral does not comply with the requirements of this Master Security Agreement, Customer shall, within thirty (30) days of written notice from Lender, bring such Collateral into compliance with the provisions hereof; (j) Customer shall not use any Collateral, nor, to its knowledge and to the extent under its control, allow the same to be used, for any unlawful purpose, in any event to the extent such unlawful use would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Customer; (k) book value of the Collateral is and shall at all times be equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes; provided, that if the Lender in good faith reasonably believes that the book value of the Collateral is less than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes, the Lender may request that the Customer procure as promptly as reasonably possible following such request a written letter from its public accountants Price Waterhouse Coopers, LLP (“PWC”) (or successor public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Lender) attesting to the book value of the Collateral which shall, upon delivery, be determinative of the book value of the Collateral for the purposes of this paragraph (k), and in the event that such book value is less than the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Notes, Customer shall pay Lender an amount equal to the difference between such aggregate principal amount and such book value; (l) Customer does not and shall not license as licensee more than 5% of the aggregate Collateral; (m) Customer is not infringing on any third party rights with respect to the use of the Collateral except to the extent such infringement (i) is being contested in good faith as to which adequate reserves have been provided to the extent required by law and in accordance with GAAP or (ii) would not result in a material adverse effect on Customer’s financial condition; and (n) Customer shall take all necessary action to maintain the validity of the Collateral (it being understood that such actions shall include maintenance of existing filings (if any) and any renewals or extensions thereof but shall not include any requirement to make new filings), including filing use affidavits with the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, as may be reasonably required from time to time. Each of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Master Security Agreement and the related documents is qualified by the following statement: Lender hereby acknowledges that the data Collateral is primarily derived from public records or other sources not proprietary to Customer, that Customer’s use of such data is, in many instances, subject to governmental or regulatory restrictions or similar restrictions imposed by the supplier of such data, and that such restrictions may change from time to time, having an impact on the value of the data Collateral.

 

4. GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS

(a) Concurrently with execution of this Master Security Agreement, Customer shall cause to be executed and delivered to Lender a guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (the “Guaranty”) duly executed on behalf of First American Real Estate Solutions LLC (“Guarantor”).

(b) Subject to Section 4(c) hereof, upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Guaranty will automatically terminate, unless, in the case of a public offering or Change in Control of Customer, at or prior to such Trigger Event, Customer shall have notified Lender (with Guarantor’s consent) that the Guaranty is to remain in place. If a Trigger Event occurs and the Guaranty is terminated within ten (10) days of the Trigger Event, simultaneously with such termination Customer shall arrange for the execution and delivery to Lender of a substitute guaranty (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) of The First American Corporation (“FAF”), First Advantage Corporation (“FADV”) or a Qualified Entity. As used herein, “Trigger Event” means the occurrence of: (1) consummation of a public offering of any equity of Customer; (2) a Change in Control of Customer; (3) a Change in Control of Guarantor; or (4) any liquidation or dissolution of Guarantor; “Qualified Entity” means an entity (other than any entity that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) (i) of which either FAF or FADV owns a majority of the then issued and outstanding capital stock or equivalent ownership interest of such entity and “controls” such entity, (ii) which has audited financial statements for its most recently completed fiscal year, and (iii) which has net income greater than or equal to the net income of Guarantor for Guarantor’s 2007 fiscal year; and “Change in Control” means: (x) with respect to a privately held entity, either of the following: (i) more than fifty percent (50%) of such entity’s voting capital stock or equivalent ownership interest, or effective control of such capital stock or interest, issued and outstanding from time to time, is not retained by the holders of such capital stock or interest as in effect on the date of this Master Security Agreement, or (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of such entity’s assets; or (y) if such entity is a publicly held corporation, any of the following: (i) a merger, consolidation or sale in which such entity’s shareholders end up owning less than 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such entity; (iii) a change in the composition of the board of directors of such entity over a two-year period without the consent of a majority of the directors in office at the beginning of the two-year period; (iv) the acquisition or accumulation by certain persons of at least 25% of the voting securities of such entity; or (v) a change in the ownership of such entity’s capital stock such that such entity is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or no longer has a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933.

(c) If (1) a Trigger Event occurs, and (2) the Guaranty is terminated but Customer fails to provide a substitute guaranty as required above, within ten (10) days of the Trigger Event Customer shall be required to prepay the then outstanding unamortized principal balance of all of the Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Notes (a “Trigger Event Prepayment”).

5. RISK OF LOSS AND DAMAGE; INSURANCE

Customer assumes all risk of loss, damage or destruction to the Collateral from whatever cause and for whatever reason. In the event of any material loss, damage or destruction to the Collateral which cannot be readily addressed by the Customer’s backup procedures, Customer shall as promptly as reasonably possible procure a written letter from its public accountants PWC (or successor public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Lender) determining the value of the Collateral that suffered such loss, damage or destruction, and Customer shall pay such amount to Lender for application to the partial prepayment of the Notes within 5 Business Days of delivery of the PWC letter to Customer and Lender if and to the extent that, according to such letter, the value of the remaining Collateral is lower than the outstanding Obligations. For so long as any Obligations shall remain outstanding, Customer shall procure and maintain insurance in such amounts and with such coverages with respect to the Collateral as are customarily insured against by such business entities engaged in the same or similar business conduct by Customer; provided, however, that in no event shall such insurance be less than the following coverages and amounts: (a) Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability Insurance, in the full statutory amounts provided by law; (b) Comprehensive General Liability Insurance including product/completed operations and contractual liability coverage, with minimum limits of the greater of: (i) $5,000,000 each occurrence, and Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury and Property Damage, $5,000,000 aggregate, where applicable, or (ii) as otherwise specified in any Collateral Schedule hereto; (c) Business Interruption Insurance, with minimum limits of $5,000,000, and (d) All Risk Physical Damage Insurance, excluding earthquake and flood, on each Collateral, in an amount not less than its full replacement value. On each such policy Lender will be included as an additional insured and sole loss payee as its interest may appear; provided that Lender shall (a) in the absence of any Default (or Event of Default), turn over to Customer any proceeds received in respect of the foregoing to the extent that Customer uses such proceeds to invest in replacement Collateral and (b) otherwise (i) apply any proceeds received in respect of the foregoing against any outstanding Obligations and (ii) after all such Obligations (other than contingent Obligations that have not yet arisen) have been paid in full, turn over any such remaining proceeds to Customer. Upon execution of this Security Agreement, Customer shall furnish Lender with a certificate of insurance or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such insurance coverages are in effect, provided, however, that Lender shall be under no duty either to ascertain the existence of or to examine such insurance coverage.

 

6. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

An “Event of Default” under any Security Agreement shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following events or conditions (each a “Default”) and after the giving of any required notice or the passage of any required period of time (or both) specified below with respect to such Default: (a) Customer shall fail to make any principal Payment due under any Note within ten (10) days of its due date; or (b) Customer shall fail to make any other payment within ten (10) days of its due date; or (c) Customer shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the insurance required under any Security Agreement for Collateral the value of which is at least ten (10) percent of the aggregate Collateral value at the relevant time, and such failure continues for ten (10) days; or (d) Customer shall fail to perform or observe any covenant, condition or agreement under any Security Agreement, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Customer; or (e) Customer or any Subsidiary of Customer shall default in the payment or performance of any indebtedness or obligation of not less than $5.0 million owing to any Affiliate of Lender, under any note, security agreement, equipment lease, title retention or conditional sales agreement or any instrument or agreement evidencing such indebtedness with Lender or any such Affiliate of Lender; or (f) any representation or warranty made by Customer herein or in any certificate, agreement, statement or document hereto or hereafter furnished Lender, including without limitation any financial information disclosed to Lender, shall prove to be false or incorrect in any material respect; or (g) the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership liquidation or other similar proceeding by Customer or any of its properties or businesses, or the commencement of any such proceeding against Customer which is not discharged or vacated within sixty (60) days thereof, or the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian for Customer or any of its properties or businesses, or if Customer suffers the entry of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code; or (h) the making by Customer of a general assignment or deed of trust for the benefit of creditors; or (i) Customer shall default in any payment or performance in respect of any obligations for borrowed money or other financial accommodation having an aggregate principal balance or other liability which, upon acceleration in accordance therewith, shall be in excess of $5.0 million owing to any parties other than Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, and any applicable grace or cure period with respect thereto has expired; or (j) [reserved]; or (k) any event or condition set forth in subsections (b) through (i) of this Section 6 shall occur with respect to any guarantor or other person liable or responsible, in whole or in part, for payment or performance of any Obligations. Customer shall promptly notify Lender of the occurrence of any Event of Default or the occurrence or existence of any event or condition, which, upon the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

7. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES; MANDATORY PREPAYMENT

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Customer shall pay overdue interest on any amounts past due under the Notes and/or any Security Agreement (by reason of acceleration or otherwise), accruing from the due date thereof until paid in full at the rate of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies enumerated herein (all of which are cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy available to Lender): (a) Lender may declare, at its option, all or any part of the Obligations immediately due and payable, without demand, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, or any other notice whatsoever, all of which are hereby waived by Customer and any endorser, guarantor, surety or other party liable in any capacity for any of the Obligations; (b) Lender shall have the right to enter and/or remain for a period of up to sixty (60) days upon the Collateral Location(s) without any obligation to pay rent to Customer or others, or any other place or places where any of the Collateral is located and kept and: (i) remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of Lender or any agent of Lender, for such time as Lender may desire, in order to maintain, sell and/or liquidate the Collateral; (ii) use such premises, together with materials, supplies, books and records of Customer, to maintain possession and/or the condition of the Collateral, and to prepare the Collateral for selling or liquidating; or (iii) without removing the Collateral from such premises, render the Collateral unusable by the Customer or by any other party in possession thereof or with an interest therein; (c) Lender may assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender, together with the source code with respect to that portion of the Collateral comprised of software, at a place to be designated by Lender; (d) Lender shall have the right to set-off, without notice to Customer, any and all deposits or other sums at any time or times credited by or due from Lender, to Customer, whether in a special account or other account or represented by a certificate of deposit (whether or not matured) which deposits and other sums shall at all times constitute additional security for the Obligations and may be set-off against all or any part of the Obligations; (e) Upon request of the Lender, Customer shall execute and deliver to Lender a power of attorney in such form provided by Lender in connection with Lender’s exercise of any of the rights and remedies provided for in this Master Security Agreement; and (f) Lender shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies contained in this Master Security Agreement and any other agreements, guarantees, notes, instruments and documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter executed by Customer and delivered to Lender, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. If Lender seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Customer hereby irrevocably waives any bonds and any surety or security relating thereto required by any statute, court rule or otherwise as an incident to such possession, and waives any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover with respect thereto. Any notice required to be given by Lender of a sale or other disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to any of the Collateral or otherwise which is made in accordance with the terms of this Master Security Agreement at least ten (10) business days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to Customer of any such action. Lender shall be liable to Customer only for its gross negligence or willful misconduct in failing to comply with any applicable law imposing duties upon Lender; Lender’s liability for any such failure shall be limited to the actual loss suffered by Customer directly resulting from such failure; and in no event shall Lender have any liability to Customer for incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages. All expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like and any other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder shall constitute additional Obligations secured by the Collateral hereunder (other than, in each case, net income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and branch profit taxes imposed on the Lender). If Lender shall employ counsel to commence, defend or intervene, file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings, or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) relating to this Master Security Agreement, the Collateral or any other related agreement, guaranty, note, instrument or document heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter executed by Customer and delivered to Lender, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of or liquidate any of the Collateral, or to attempt to enforce or to enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral, or to enforce any rights of Lender hereunder, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, or to collect any of the Obligations, then in any of such events, all of the reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from such services, and any reasonable expenses, costs and charges of such counsel relating thereto, shall be part of the Obligations, payable on demand and secured by the Collateral. The net proceeds realized by Lender upon any sale or other disposition of Collateral hereunder shall be applied toward satisfaction of all Obligations until all such Obligations are satisfied and paid in full. Lender shall account to Customer for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and Customer shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, shall not affect the security interest of Lender in the Collateral until all of the Obligations or any judgment with respect thereto have been fully paid.

 

8. ASSIGNMENT

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Lender and Customer, provided, however, Customer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender (except for assignments under Sections 4(b) and 4(c) of this Master Security Agreement). Lender may, from time to time, without notice to the Customer, sell, assign, transfer, participate, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Obligations and/or the Collateral therefore; provided, that the Lender shall provide prior written notice to Customer of its intention to take any of the actions permitted in this sentence and give Customer the opportunity to consult with Lender, it being acknowledged and agreed that the notice and consultation provided in this sentence are not to be construed as requiring Customer’s consent to any disposition, and it

 

6


being further acknowledged and agreed that Lender’s failure to comply with this sentence shall in no way affect the validity of any disposition. Each and every immediate and successive purchaser, assignee, transferee, participant, pledgee, or holder of all or any part of the Obligations and/or the Collateral (each, a “Holder”) shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, by legal action or otherwise, for its own benefit as fully as if such Holder were herein by name specifically given such rights. Customer agrees that the rights of any such Holder hereunder or with respect to the related Obligations, shall not be subject to any defense, set off or counterclaim that Customer may assert or claim against Lender, and that any such Holder shall have all of the Lender’s rights hereunder but none of the Lender’s obligations. Lender shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Agreement for its benefit with respect to that portion of the Obligations Lender has not sold, assigned, transferred, participated, pledged or otherwise disposed of. Lender may disclose to any Holder, or potential Holder, this Master Security Agreement and all information, reports, financial statements and documents executed or obtained in connection herewith, which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to the transaction evidenced hereby, Customer, or the business of Customer.

 

9. GOVERNING LAW

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE LEGAL RELATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES REGARDING THE CHOICE OF LAW THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. CUSTOMER HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTIONS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE VENUE OF SUCH COURTS. CUSTOMER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.

GUARANTY

LOGO

One Financial Plaza

Providence, RI 02903-2448

This Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) is executed and delivered as of the date set forth below by the undersigned guarantor (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BALC”). BALC may, from time to time, enter into a Master Security Agreement No. 17910 dated as of December 13, 2007 and other related documents (collectively, the “Master Security Agreement”) with First American CoreLogic Holdings, Inc. (“Customer”). BALC is unwilling to enter into such agreements with Customer, unless Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to BALC the payment and performance of all obligations of Customer at any time owing to BALC under the Master Security Agreement and the Notes (as defined therein). With knowledge that BALC will enter into agreements with or extend financial accommodations to Customer in reliance upon the existence of this Guaranty and the validity and enforceability of the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to BALC contemplated hereby, Guarantor agrees with BALC as follows:

1. Guaranty. Guarantor guarantees to BALC the prompt payment and/or performance of all Obligations (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not a guaranty of collection, and Guarantor hereby undertakes and agrees that if Customer does not or is unable to punctually and completely pay or perform any Obligations for any reason, Guarantor shall (i) punctually pay any such Obligations requiring the payment of money which Customer fails to pay promptly, as and when due, in each case, as an Obligation for payment due directly from Guarantor to BALC and without any abatement, reduction, setoff, defense, counterclaim or recoupment, and (ii) punctually perform any and all Obligations not requiring the payment of money for the benefit of BALC, as an Obligation for performance due directly from Guarantor to BALC. Guarantor shall be deemed to be primarily liable for each Obligation and not merely as a surety thereof.

2. Continuing Nature of Guaranty; Revocation. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall in all respects be valid and enforceable without regard to the form or the amount of the Obligations in existence at any time. Guarantor may prospectively revoke this Guaranty by sending written notice, certified mail, return receipt requested, to BALC at the address for BALC specified above (the “Revocation Notice”). The revocation of this Guaranty shall not be effective with respect to any Obligation arising on or prior to the date occurring fifteen (15) days after BALC’s receipt of the Revocation Notice (the “Revocation Date”), or to any Obligation arising at any time after the Revocation Date if such Obligation arises as the result of a commitment made by BALC to Customer on or prior to the Revocation Date. In addition, this Guaranty may terminate in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Master Security Agreement.

3. Absolute, Unconditional, Joint and Several Nature of Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, and shall be joint and several with each other party that may be liable from time to time, directly or indirectly, for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations. If this Guaranty is executed by more than one party, the term “Guarantor” as used herein shall mean (unless the context otherwise requires) “the Guarantor and each of them” and each and every undertaking shall be their joint and several undertaking. Other than as provided in Section 2 above, (i) Guarantor shall not be released from any obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty and (ii) no such obligations shall be reduced, diminished or discharged due to:

 

(a) Modifications; Indulgences; Payment Applications. Any modifications, renewals, or alterations of any agreement, document or instrument relating to any Obligation; any indulgences, adjustments, preferences, extensions or compromises made by BALC in favor of Customer or Guarantor or any other party; or the application of any payments and receipts, by whomever paid and/or however realized, to any amounts owing by Guarantor or Customer to BALC in such manner as BALC shall determine in its sole discretion.

 

(b) Condition of Customer or Guarantor. Any insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution, appointment of a receiver for, or other similar proceeding affecting Customer or Guarantor; any sale, lease or other disposition of any of the assets of Customer or Guarantor; any reorganization of, or change in the composition of the shareholders, partners or members of, Customer or Guarantor; or any termination of, or other change in, the relationship between Customer and Guarantor.

 

(c) Invalidity of Obligations or Other Agreements. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any Obligation for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to: the existence of valid abatements, defenses, counterclaims, deductions or off-sets to any Obligation; or the lack of authenticity or genuineness of any document or instrument relating to the Obligations. This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and it shall not be prejudiced or rendered unenforceable by the invalidity or unenforceability of any such other guaranty or security.

 

(d) Release of Customer. Any complete or partial release of Customer or any other party liable for any Obligation for any reason.

 

(e) Release and Care of Collateral; Status of Liens. Any sale, transfer, release, surrender, exchange, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment of any property transferred or assigned by Customer, Guarantor or any other party in respect of any Obligation or otherwise acquired by BALC for lease to Customer or otherwise in connection with any Obligation (collectively, the “Collateral”), whether grossly negligent or a result of willful misconduct (in either case, such gross negligence or willfull misconduct as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the failure of BALC or any other party to exercise reasonable care in the preservation, protection, sale or other treatment of any of the Collateral, the failure of BALC or any other party to create or properly perfect BALC’s rights, title or interests in any Collateral, or any mortgage, pledge, security interest, transfer or assignment of any Collateral (a “Lien”); the unenforceability of any Lien; the creation of any lien or encumbrance on any Collateral in favor of any other party, or the subordination of any Lien in favor of BALC to any such other lien or encumbrance; or the taking or accepting by BALC of any other security for, or assurance of payment of, any Obligation.


(f) Other Action or Inaction. Any other action or inaction on the part of BALC, whether or not such action or inaction prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood or amount that Guarantor will be required to pay or perform in connection with any Obligation pursuant to the terms hereof.

It is the obligation of Guarantor to discharge the Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not particularly described herein. Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on the value or the availability of any Collateral. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor may be required to pay the Obligations, in full, without the assistance or support of any other party. Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis that any party other than Customer will be liable to perform any Obligations or that BALC will look to any other party to perform any Obligation. BALC may release, or settle with, the Customer, any Guarantor, or any other party liable, directly or indirectly, for the performance of any Obligation, all without affecting the liability of the undersigned Guarantor or any other party to this Guaranty.

4. Waivers. Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by law:

 

(a) Action Against Others. Any right to require BALC to: institute suit or exhaust remedies against Customer or any other party liable for any Obligation; enforce BALC’s rights in any of the Collateral or other security which is at any time given to secure any Obligation; enforce BALC’s rights against any other Guarantor or any other party liable on any Obligation; join Customer or any other party liable for any Obligation in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty; or exhaust any other remedies available to BALC or resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of any Obligation.

 

(b) Notices. Notice of the execution, delivery or acceptance by BALC, Customer or any other party, of this Guaranty or any document, agreement or instrument evidencing any Obligation; notice of the amount of credit extended by BALC to Customer at any time, whether primary or secondary; notice of modifications or extensions of any Obligation; notice of defaults, or other non-performance by Customer in connection with any Obligation; notice of the transfer or disposition by BALC of any Obligation; notice of the repossession, sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral; notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty by BALC; demand and presentation for payment upon Customer or any other party liable for any Obligation; protest, notice of intention to accelerate or notice of acceleration of any Obligation, notice of protest and diligence in bringing suit against Customer or any other party; and any other action or inaction on the part of BALC in connection with this Guaranty or any Obligation.

 

(c) Subrogation. Any right which Guarantor may at any time have against Customer, or any other party liable for any Obligation, as a result of the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty, including, but not limited to contractual, statutory and common law rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, set-off or contribution, until all Obligations owing to BALC (other than Obligations comprising contingent liabilities that have not yet arisen) have been paid and performed in full.

 

(d) Suretyship Defenses. Any defenses which Guarantor may have or assert against the enforcement of this Guaranty or any Obligation based upon suretyship principles or any impairment of Collateral.

5. Representations; Warranties; Covenants. Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and with BALC that:

 

(a) Benefit. Guarantor has received, or will receive, substantial benefit from the agreements and transactions giving rise to the Obligations and this Guaranty.

 

(b) Authorization; Enforceability. This Guaranty has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty does not require the approval of, or giving of notice to, any governmental authority and does not contravene or constitute a default under any applicable laws, or any contract, mortgage, agreement, indenture, or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which it may be bound in each case, other than (i) those approvals and notices, the failure of which to obtain and (ii) defaults that would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operations of the Guarantor. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms except to the extent that the enforcement of remedies hereunder may be limited under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws, and the equitable discretion of any court of competent jurisdiction. To Guarantor’s knowledge, there are no actions or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s property before any court, administrative officer or administrative agency that could materially affect the financial condition or operations of Guarantor or the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(c) Access to Information; No Representation by BALC. Guarantor has adequate means to obtain continuing and sufficient information concerning the financial and business condition of the Customer and other parties liable in respect of the Obligations. Neither BALC nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

 

(d) Subordination. All present and future indebtedness of Customer to Guarantor (“Subordinated Debt”) shall be and hereby is subordinated to the prior payment and performance of all Obligations. Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of, or otherwise cancel, set-off or otherwise discharge any part of, the Subordinated Debt without the prior written consent of BALC, provided, however, that for so long as there is no default hereunder or in connection with the Obligations or the Subordinated Debt, Guarantor may receive and Customer may pay (but not prepay whether or not permitted or contemplated by the terms of the Subordinated Debt) principal and/or interest or other scheduled installment payments of Subordinated Debt from Customer.

 

(e) Financial Condition; Solvency: Reports. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations contained herein, Guarantor, on a consolidated basis, is solvent and has assets which, when fairly valued, exceed its liabilities. The performance of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder will not cause Guarantor to exceed its ability to pay its debts as they mature, and this Guaranty is made without any intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors, purchasers or other interested persons. Guarantor shall provide to BALC, within 120 days after the close of each of Guarantor’s fiscal years, and, upon BALC’s request, within 45 days of the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of Guarantor’s fiscal year, a copy of its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, in the case of annual financial statements, audited by independent certified public accountants, and in the case of quarterly financial statements certified by Guarantor’s chief financial officer or manager; provided, however, that for so long as Guarantor is timely filing annual and quarterly financial reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the rules and regulations therefor, the filing of such reports shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing financial reporting requirements.

 

2


(f) Assignment. BALC may, at any time and, without the consent of, or notice to, Guarantor, assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any other party to which all or any portion of the Obligations are transferred, assigned or negotiated (an “Assignee”). Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver to BALC or its Assignee such further and additional documents, instruments and assurances as BALC reasonably deems necessary (a) in order to acknowledge and confirm, for the benefit of BALC or its Assignee, all of the terms and conditions of all or any part of the Obligations or this Guaranty and BALC’s or Assignee’s rights with respect thereto, and Customer’s and Guarantor’s compliance with all of the terms and provisions thereof, and (b) to preserve, protect and perfect Lessor’s or Assignee’s right, title or interest hereunder and in any Collateral, including, without limitation, such UCC financing statements or amendments and control agreements corporate or member resolutions, votes, certificates of compliance, notices of assignment or transfers of interests, and restatements and reaffirmations of Guarantor’s obligations, representations, warranties and covenants hereunder as of the dates requested by BALC from time to time. This Guaranty shall not be deemed to create any right in any party except as provided herein and shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of Guarantor and BALC, provided that Guarantor shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of BALC.

 

(g) Further Assurances. Guarantor will promptly execute documents and other records, including, amendments to this Guaranty, and will take such further action as BALC may reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the intent and purposes of this Guaranty and to establish, perfect and protect BALC’s rights and remedies hereunder and in any Collateral or Subordinated Debt.

6. Governing Law; Miscellaneous. THIS GUARANTY AND THE LEGAL RELATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES REGARDING THE CHOICE OF LAW THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. GUARANTOR CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF NEW YORK COURTS IN CONNECTION WITH BALC’S ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY. Time is of the essence in the payment and performance of all Obligations and all of Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities owing to BALC hereunder. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement of Guarantor and BALC relative to the subject matter hereof, and there are no prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, whether oral or in writing, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. No subsequent modification of, or supplement to, this Guaranty shall be enforceable against any party hereto unless the same is in writing and is duly signed by the Guarantor and the Lender. Any notices or demands required or permitted to be given under this Guaranty (a) shall be given in writing, (b) shall become effective (i) if delivered with receipt acknowledged, such as by Airborne, FedEx, UPS or other private courier service, on the date of such receipt, (ii) if delivery by either private courier or U. S. Postal Service is attempted but refused, on the date of such refusal, or (iii) if mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, then on the earlier of the date of receipt or the fifth day following such mailing, and (c) shall be addressed to BALC to the attention of Customer Accounts, and to Guarantor at the address set forth below, or to such other address as the party to receive notice hereafter designates by such written notice.
