REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE A
-----------------------
$75,000,000.00 June 17, 2008
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of RBS
Citizens, National Association (the "Bank"), a national banking association,
successor in interest to Citizens Bank of Connecticut, at the Bank's Head Office
at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇:
(a) prior to or on the Revolving Credit A Maturity Date, the
principal amount of SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($75,000,000.00) or, if
less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Loans advanced by the Bank
to the Borrower under Revolving Credit Facility A pursuant to the
Multicurrency Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 13, 2006
(as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time
to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower and the Bank; and
(b) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time
outstanding, from the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement through and
including the repayment in full hereof and termination of all commitments
under the Credit Agreement, at the times and at the rates set forth in
the Credit Agreement.
This Revolving Credit Note A (the "Note") evidences borrowings under and
has been issued by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement. The Bank and any holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of
the Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the
respective remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect
thereof, all in accordance with the respective terms thereof. All capitalized
terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same
meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made,
at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or at the time of receipt
of any payment of principal of this Note, an appropriate notation on the grid
attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or any other similar
record, including computer records, reflecting the making of such Loan or (as
the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the
Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such
grid, or any other similar record, including computer records, maintained by the
Bank with respect to any Loans shall be prima facie evidence of the principal
amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Bank, but the failure to record, or any
error in so recording, any such amount on any such grid, continuation or other
record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower
hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to make payments of principal of and
interest on this Note when due.
1
The Borrower has the right in certain circumstances and the obligation in
certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal of this
Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire
unpaid principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued
thereon may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Credit Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver
on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on
any further occasion.
Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the obligation
represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension or
postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR
CHOICE OF LAW). BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE
MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY FEDERAL
COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH
COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON SUCH BORROWER
BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN ss.19 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH BORROWER
HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF
ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT
COURT.
This Note amends, restates, and supersedes in its entirety that certain
Revolving Credit Note A dated as of November 10, 2006 in the original principal
amount of $75,000,000.00 from the Borrower, Rogers Technologies (Barbados) SRL,
Rogers (China) Investment Co., Ltd., Rogers N.V. and Rogers Technologies
(Suzhou) Co., Ltd. to Citizens Bank of Connecticut, as predecessor in interest
to Bank (as amended and in effect from time to time, the "2006 Note"). This Note
is in substitution for and not in repayment of the 2006 Note. Nothing contained
herein shall constitute a novation of the 2006 Note. Any principal, interest,
fees, costs and other sums owing under the 2006 Note on this date shall be
deemed due and owing under this Note.
2
This Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument under the
laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
