Item 2.03 — Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
Amendment to Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
On January 10, 2008, Park National Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Park”), entered into an Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2008 (the “Amendment”), between Park, as the “Borrower”, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the “Bank”. The Amendment amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”), between Park and the Bank. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, is referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”. Pursuant to the Amendment, the aggregate principal sum available under the revolving line of credit facility provided for in the Amended Credit Agreement is increased from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000.
In connection with the Amendment, Park executed a Line of Credit Note, dated January 10, 2008 (the “Note”), in favor of the Bank in the original principal amount of $50,000,000. The Note was given by Park in replacement, renewal and/or extension of, but did not serve to extinguish the indebtedness evidenced by, the Line of Credit Note, dated March 12, 2007 (the “Prior Note”), executed by Park in favor of the Bank in the original principal amount of $40,000,000. Under the Note, the interest rate payable by Park will be based on an adjusted one-month LIBOR Rate as described below.
The Bank has committed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Note, to provide Park with a revolving line of credit facility in the aggregate principal sum of up to $50,000,000 (the “Credit Facility”) with any outstanding amounts due and payable on January 31, 2009. The proceeds from the Credit Facility may be used for Park’s working corporate purposes. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, there are no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.
The following description of the Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the Credit Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1(a) to Park’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2007; (ii) the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1; and (iii) the Note, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2; each of which is incorporated herein by this reference.
Interest. Interest on the outstanding balance under the Credit Facility is payable at a rate (the “Note Rate”) equal to: (i) the sum of (a) the one-month LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Note) and (b) 0.95% per annum. As of the date of the Amendment (January 10, 2008), Park believes that if there had been any advances initiated on January 10, 2008, they would have borne interest at a per annum rate equal to 5.27%.
Optional Prepayments. Park may prepay any advance under the Credit Facility only at the end of an Interest Period (as defined in the Note).

2


Table of Contents

Security for the Credit Facility. Park’s obligations under the Credit Facility are not secured.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants; Events of Default. The terms of the Credit Facility include customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default.
At any time after the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, the Bank may, among other options, declare any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable and terminate any commitment to make further advances to Park under the Credit Facility. In addition, after a default has occurred under the Credit Facility, whether or not the Bank elects to accelerate the maturity of the Credit Facility because of such default, all advances under the Credit Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Note Rate plus three percent (3.00%) from the date the Bank elects to impose such rate.

Exhibit 10.2
     
(CHASE LOGO)   Line of Credit Note
$50,000,000.00
Date: January 10, 2008
Promise to Pay. On or before January 31, 2009, for value received, Park National Corporation (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., whose address is 8044 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45236 (the “Bank”) or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the sum of Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) or such lesser sum as is indicated on Bank records, plus interest computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days at “the Adjusted LIBOR Rate” (the “Note Rate”) and at the rate of 3.00% per annum above the Note Rate, at the Bank’s option, upon the occurrence of any default under this Note, whether or not the Bank elects to accelerate the maturity of this Note, from the date such increased rate is imposed by the Bank.
Definitions. As used in this Note, the following terms have the following respective meanings:
“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to the relevant Interest Period, the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, divided by (b) one minus the Reserve Requirement (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Interest Period.
“Applicable Margin” means 0.95% per annum.
“Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks generally are open in Ohio and/or New York for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial lending activities and on which dealings in United States dollars are carried on in the London interbank market.
“Interest Period” means each consecutive one month period, the first of which shall commence on the date of this Note, ending on the day which corresponds numerically to such date one (1) month thereafter, provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such first succeeding month, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such first succeeding month. If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that if said next succeeding Business Day falls in a new calendar month, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day.
“LIBOR Rate” means with respect to any LIBOR advance for any Interest Period, the interest rate determined by the Bank by reference to Page 3750 of the Moneyline Telerate Service (“MTS”) (or on any successor or substitute page of the MTS, or any successor to or substitute for the MTS, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on Page 3750 of the MTS, as determined by the Bank from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) to be the rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for the offering by the Bank’s London office, of dollar deposits in an amount comparable to such LIBOR advance with a maturity equal to such Interest Period. If no LIBOR Rate is available to the Bank, the applicable LIBOR Rate for the relevant Interest Period shall instead be the rate determined by the Bank to be the rate at which the Bank offers to place deposits in U.S. dollars with first-class banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period, in the approximate amount of the principal amount outstanding on such date and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period.
“Reserve Requirement” means, with respect to an Interest Period, the maximum aggregate reserve requirement (including all basic, supplemental, marginal and other reserves) which is imposed under Regulation D.
“Regulation D” means Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as from time to time in effect and any successor thereto or other regulation or official interpretation of said Board of Governors relating to reserve requirements applicable to member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain or fund the advances evidenced by this Note, then, upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Note or the Related Documents shall be repaid (a) immediately upon the Bank’s demand if such change or compliance with such requests, in the Bank’s judgment, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request.

 


 

If the Bank determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the interest rate as provided in this Note, then the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower, whereupon (i) the obligation of the Bank to make advances evidenced by this Note shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension no longer exists, and (ii) the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each advance evidenced by this Note, together with accrued interest, on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
In no event shall the interest rate exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Any interest payment that would for any reason be unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.
Interest will be computed on unpaid principal balance from the date of each borrowing.
Until maturity, the Borrower will pay consecutive quarterly installments of interest only commencing March 31, 2008.
The Borrower shall make all payments on this Note and the other Related Documents, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, to the Bank at the Bank’s address above or at such other place as the Bank may designate in writing. If any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day. In addition, the Borrower will make those additional payments required by the Credit Agreement. The term “Business Day” in this Note means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banking associations are authorized to be closed. Payments shall be allocated among principal, interest and fees at the discretion of the Bank unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law. Acceptance by the Bank of any payment that is less than the payment due at that time shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to receive payment in full at that time or any other time.
Authorization for Direct Payments (ACH Debits). To effectuate any payment due under this Note, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate debit entries to Account Number                                                              at the Bank and to debit the same to such account. This authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full force and effect until the Bank has received written notification of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner of all funds in such account. The Borrower acknowledges (1) that such debit entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result in the Bank’s refusal to honor items drawn on such account until adequate deposits are made to such account; (2) that the Bank is under no duty or obligation to initiate any debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not made because the above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available balance, or otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.
Purpose of Loan. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note evidences a loan for a business, commercial, agricultural or similar commercial enterprise purpose, and that all advances made under this Note shall not be used for any personal, family or household purpose. The proceeds of the loan shall be used only for the Borrower’s working capital purposes.
Credit Facility. The Bank has approved a credit facility to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed the face amount of this Note. The credit facility is in the form of advances made from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower. This Note evidences the Borrower’s obligation to repay those advances. The aggregate principal amount of debt evidenced by this Note is the amount reflected from time to time in the records of the Bank. Until the earliest of maturity, the occurrence of any default, or the occurrence of any event that would constitute a default but for the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both until the end of any grace or cure period, the Borrower may borrow, pay down and reborrow under this Note subject to the terms of the Related Documents.
Renewal and Extension. This Note is given in replacement, renewal and/or extension of, but not extinguishing the indebtedness evidenced by, that Line of Credit Note dated March 12, 2007 executed by the Borrower in the original principal amount of Forty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00), including previous renewals or modifications thereof, if any (the “Prior Note” and together with all loan agreements, credit agreements, reimbursement agreements, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledge agreements, assignments, guaranties, and any other instrument or document executed in connection with the Prior Note, the “Prior Related Documents”), and is not a novation thereof. All interest evidenced by the Prior Note shall continue to be due and payable until paid. The Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Bank and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (each a “Bank Party”) from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity, of the Borrower, whether now known or unknown to the Borrower (i) in respect of the loan evidenced by the Prior Note and the Prior Related Documents, or of the actions or omissions of any Bank Party in any manner related to the loan evidenced by the Prior Note or the Prior Related Documents and (ii) arising from events occurring prior to the date of this Note. If applicable, all Collateral continues to secure the payment of this Note and the Liabilities. The provisions of this Note are effective on the date that this Note has been executed by all of the signers and delivered to the Bank.
Confession of Judgment. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers any attorney-at-law, including an attorney hired by the Bank, to appear in any court of record and to confess judgment against any or all Borrowers for the unpaid amount of this Note

as evidenced by an affidavit signed by an officer of the Bank setting forth the amount then due together with attorney’s fees plus costs of suit, and to release all errors, and waive all rights of appeal. If a copy of this Note, verified by an affidavit, shall have been filed in the proceeding, it will not be necessary to file the original as a warrant of attorney. The Borrower waives the right to any stay of execution and the benefit of all exemption laws now or hereafter in effect. No single exercise of the foregoing warrant and power to confess judgment will be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void; but the power will continue undiminished and may be exercised from time to time as the Bank may elect until all amounts owing on this Note have been paid in full. The Borrower waives any conflict of interest that an attorney hired by the Bank may have in acting on behalf of the Borrower in confessing judgment against the Borrower while such attorney is retained by the Bank. The Borrower expressly consents to such attorney acting for the Borrower in confessing judgment.
Miscellaneous. This Note binds the Borrower and its successors, and benefits the Bank, its successors and assigns. Any reference to the Bank includes any holder of this Note. This Note is issued pursuant and entitled to the benefits of that certain Credit Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Bank, dated March 12, 2007, and all replacements thereof (the “Credit Agreement”) to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of the terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby is made and is to be repaid. The terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof by this reference thereto with the same force and effect as if set forth at length herein. No reference to the Credit Agreement and no provisions of this Note or the Credit Agreement shall alter or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal and interest on this Note as herein prescribed. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
WARNING: BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE USED TO COLLECT FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE CREDITOR WHETHER FOR RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO COMPLY WITH THE AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.
