On June
30, 2008, a subsidiary (the “Debtor”) of P.A.M. Transportation Services, Inc.,
entered into two separate installment note agreements (Note 1 and Note 2,
respectively) with DCFS USA LLC (the “Creditor”) representing combined
borrowings of approximately $10,000,000 to be used for the purchase of revenue
equipment. Under the terms of Note 1, monthly installment payments in the amount
of $99,951 will be due beginning September 15, 2008 and on the fifteenth day of
each month thereafter with a final payment of $1,969,114 due August 15, 2011.
Under the terms of Note 2, monthly installment payments in the amount of
$105,370 will be due beginning September 15, 2008 and on the fifteenth day of
each month thereafter with a final payment of $2,075,879 due August 15,
2011.
Under the
terms of each of the three separate installment note agreements, the Creditor
has the right at its sole option to insist on immediate payment in full of all
indebtedness upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (1)
failure of the Debtor to make any payment under the installment note agreement
when due; or (2) Debtor default under any other loan, lease, extension of
credit, or obligation owing to the Creditor or any affiliate of the Creditor; or
(3) Debtor, without the Creditor’s consent (a) makes a significant change in the
management, ownership or control; or (b) merges, transfers, acquires or
consolidates with any other entity; or (4) Debtor becomes insolvent or the
subject of a bankruptcy or other relief from creditors; or (5) if any of the
equipment is seized under process of law; or (6) if any guaranty of the Debtor’s
obligations under this agreement is withdrawn or becomes unenforceable for any
reason; or (7) if Creditor reasonably believes itself to be insecure in the
repayment of this installment note agreement; or (8) the Debtor is in default
under any other provision of this installment note agreement. After default and
acceleration, the Debtor agrees to continue to pay Creditor interest on the then
unpaid balance of indebtedness at the rate of eighteen percent per annum, or
such lesser rate as may be limited by law.
