FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned
Barrett Business Services, Inc. (“Borrower”)
promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Portland RCBO,
1300 S. W. Fifth Avenue, Portland, OR 97201 , or at such other
place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of $7,000,000.00 , or so much thereof as may
be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be
computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set
forth herein.
As used herein, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term
defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place
defined:
1.1 “Business Day” means
any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which
commercial banks in Oregon are authorized or required by law to
close.
1.2 “Fixed Rate Term”
means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing for
1, 2, 3 or 6 months , as designated by Borrower, during
which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this
Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided
however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal
amount less than $250,000.00 ; and provided further, that no
Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date
hereof. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a
Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day.
1.3 “LIBOR” means the
rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole
1/8 of 1%) determined by dividing Base LIBOR by a percentage equal
to 100% less any LIBOR Reserve Percentage.
(a) “Base LIBOR” means
the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank
as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that
such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating
effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on
the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said
date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days
in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower
understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the
Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market
indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems
appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for
U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.
(b) “LIBOR Reserve
Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor)
for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in
Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by
Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the
applicable Fixed Rate Term.
-1-
1.4 “Prime Rate” means at any time
the rate of interest most recently announced within Bank at its
principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding that the
Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the
basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the
recording thereof after its announcement in such internal
publication or publications as Bank may designate.
2.1 Interest . The
outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a 360 -day year, actual days
elapsed) either (a) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal
to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, or (b) at a
fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be 1.50000% above
LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term.
When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each
change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on
the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With
respect to each LIBOR selection option selected hereunder, Bank is
hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate
and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made
thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by
electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note,
which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of
the information noted.
2.2 Selection of Interest Rate
Options . At any time any portion of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at
the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a
portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime
Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower.
At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in
relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion
thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR
for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as
Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR
option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance
hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give
Bank notice specifying: (a) the interest rate option selected
by Borrower; (b) the principal amount subject thereto; and
(c) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable
Fixed Rate Term. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such
other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with
respect to each LIBOR selection, (i) if requested by Bank,
Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later
than 3 Business Days after such notice is given. and (ii) such
notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the
Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if
Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so,
accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to
Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when
quoted by Bank, the quoted ra
