EXHIBIT A
REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
$20,000,000 |
| Chicago, Illinois |
|
| August 4, 2005 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before the Maturity Date, FIRST COMMUNITY BANCORP, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of California (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of THE NORTHERN TRUST COMPANY, an Illinois banking corporation (hereafter, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called “Lender”), at its main banking office at 50 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60675, or at such other place as Lender may direct, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of each advance (a “Loan” and collectively the “Loans”) made by Lender to Borrower hereunder. The total principal amount of Loans outstanding at any one time hereunder shall not exceed TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($20,000,000).
Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time and from time to time at Lender’s sole option to attach a schedule (grid) to this Note and to endorse thereon notations with respect to each Loan specifying the date and principal amount thereof, and the date and amount of each payment of principal and interest made by Borrower with respect to each such Loan. Lender’s endorsements as well as its records relating to Loans shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal and interest on the Loans, and, in the event of inconsistency, shall prevail over any records of Borrower and any written confirmations of Loans given by Borrower.
Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding hereunder on the dates and at the rate or rates as set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).
Payments of both principal and interest are to be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America.
This Note evidences indebtedness incurred under an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 15, 2003 executed by and between Borrower and Lender (and, if amended, restated or replaced, all amendments, restatements and replacements thereto or therefor, if any) (the “Revolving Credit Agreement;” capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings herein as in the Revolving Credit Agreement). Reference is hereby made to the Revolving Credit Agreement for a statement of its terms and provisions, including without limitation those under which this Note may be paid prior to its due date or have its due date accelerated.
Borrower agrees to pay upon demand all expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees, legal costs and expenses, in each case whether in or out of court, in original or appellate proceedings or in bankruptcy) incurred or paid by Lender or any holder hereof in connection with the enforcement or preservation of its rights hereunder or under any document or instrument executed in connection herewith. Borrower expressly and irrevocably waives presentment, protest, demand and notice of any kind in connection herewith.
This Note is secured by the property described in the Pledge Agreement (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), to which reference is made for a description of the collateral provided thereby and the rights of Lender and Borrower in respect of such collateral.
This Note and any document or instrument executed in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of New York. Unless the context requires otherwise, wherever used herein the singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the use of one gender shall also denote the other. Captions herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit any of the terms or provisions hereof; references herein to Sections or provisions without reference to the document in which they are contained are references to this Note. This Note shall bind Borrower, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not transfer or assign any of its rights or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender.
This Note is a replacement for that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note of Borrower dated August 15, 2003 in the face principal amount of $12,500,000 payable to the order of Lender, and nothing contained herein or in the Revolving Credit Agreement shall be construed to deem paid or forgiven the unpaid principal amount of, or unpaid accrued interest on, said Revolving Credit Note outstanding at the time of its replacement by this Note, or to release or otherwise adversely affect any lien, mortgage or security interest securing such indebtedness or any rights of Lender against any guarantor, surety or other party primarily or secondarily liable for such indebtedness.

SCHEDULE 4.8
First Community Bancorp
August 4, 2005
NOTE: In providing this Schedule, neither First Community Bancorp (the “Company”) nor Pacific Western National Bank (“PWB”) is hereby admitting that the litigation described on this Schedule would, if adversely determined, have a material and adverse effect on the assets, financial condition, continued operations or business of PWB or the Company on a consolidated basis.
On June 8, 2004, the Company was served with an amended complaint naming First Community and PWB as defendants in a class action lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court pending as Case No. BC310846. We are named as defendants in our capacity as alleged successors to First Charter Bank, N.A., which the Company acquired in October 2001. A former officer of First Charter Bank, who left First Charter in May of 1997, is also named as a defendant.
On April 18, 2005, the plaintiffs filed the second amended class action complaint. The second amended complaint alleges that a former officer of First Charter Bank who later became a principal of Four Star Financial Services, LLC (“Four Star”), an affiliate of 900 Capital Services, Inc. (“900 Capital”), improperly induced several First Charter customers to invest in 900 Capital or affiliates of 900 Capital and further alleges that Four Star, 900 Capital and some of their affiliated entities perpetuated their fraud upon investors through various First Charter accounts with First Charter’s purported knowing participation in and/or willful ignorance of the scheme. The key allegations against First Charter in the second amended complaint date back to the mid-1990s and the second amended complaint alleges several counts for relief including aiding and abetting, conspiracy, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, relief pursuant to the California Business and Professions Code, negligence and relief under the California Securities Act stemming from an alleged fraudulent scheme and sale of securities issued by 900 Capital and Four Star. In disclosures provided to the parties, plaintiffs have asserted that the named plaintiffs have suffered losses well in excess of $3.85 million, and plaintiffs have asserted that “losses to the class total many tens of millions of dollars.” While we understand that the plaintiffs intend to seek to certify a class for purposes of pursuing a class action, a class has not yet been certified and no motion for class certification has been filed.
At this stage of litigation, we do not believe it is feasible to accurately assess the likely outcome, the timing of its resolution, or whether it would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
