Item 1.03   Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On February 23, 2010, The Huntington National Bank’s (the “Lender’) filed an emergency motion for the appointment of a receiver (the “Request for Receivership”) of PDG Environmental, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”) in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania requesting that The Compass Advisory Partners, LLC (the “Receiver”) become the receiver of all of the assets for the Company and its subsidiaries. The court granted Lender’s request for appointment of a Receiver for Borrowers, with such appointment effective at 12:00 a.m. on February 24, 2010.
Item 2.04   Triggering Events that Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
Borrowers and Lender are party to a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2006 (as amended and modified, the “Credit Agreement”). On February 22, 2010, Lender sent Borrowers a letter advising Borrowers that as a result of these events of default, Lender was under no obligation to make further advances of loans, any further advances of loans would be at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and that under no circumstances would advances of loans be made after March 1, 2010 or in excess of $7,200,000.00. Lender reserved all rights and remedies available to it under the Credit Agreement and related documents and under applicable law. Pursuant to the terms of the Request for Receivership, interest will be at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, to be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
The Company is also party to a subordinated secured promissory note dated May 14, 2009 in the principal amount of $4,993,226, plus interest, which is issued in favor of Radcliffe SPC, Ltd. (“Radcliffe”) (“Subordinated Note”). The Subordinated Note is subordinate to Lender, pursuant to the terms of a subordinated and intercreditor agreement dated as of May 14, 2009 (the “Subordinated and Intercreditor Agreement”). The appointment of the Receiver constitutes an event of default of the Subordinated Note, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Note and the Subordinated and Intercreditor Agreement, Radcliffe is entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the obligations thereunder.
