B.           The Prior Loan Agreement is scheduled to terminate on August 31, 2009.

 

C.           The Bank and the Borrower wish to enter into this Agreement, which shall amend, restate, replace and supersede (but shall not constitute a novation of) the Prior Loan Agreement and which hereinafter shall govern the terms and conditions under which the Bank shall provide financing to the Borrower.

(iii)

(b)

The Facility is a revolving line of credit.  During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them.

(b)

The amount of the standby letters of credit outstanding at any one time (including the drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the standby letters of credit) may not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

(ii)

If there is a default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and make the Bank whole for any outstanding standby letters of credit.

 

 

(iii)

The issuance of any standby letter of credit and any amendment to a standby letter of credit is subject to the Bank’s written approval and must be in form and content satisfactory to the Bank and in favor of a beneficiary acceptable to the Bank.

 

 

(iv)

To sign the Bank’s form Application and Agreement for Standby Letter of Credit.

 

 

(v)

3.           OPTIONAL INTEREST RATE

 

3.1.            Optional Rates .

 

The optional interest rate provided for in Paragraph 1.7 is a rate per year.  Interest will be paid on the first day of the first month following the commencement of the applicable interest period, and then on the same day of each month   thereafter until payment in full of any principal outstanding under this Agreement.  No Portion will be converted to a different interest rate during the applicable interest period.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Agreement, the Bank may terminate the availability of the optional interest rate for interest periods commencing after the default occurs.  At the end of any interest period, the interest rate will revert to the rate stated in the paragraph(s) entitled “Interest Rate” above, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate for the Portion.

 

3.2.            LIBOR Rate .

 

The election of the LIBOR Rate shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:

 

 

7


 

 

(a)

The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be 30, 60 or 90 days or one year.  The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a “LIBOR Banking Day”).  The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.

 

(b)

Each LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

 

(c)

The “LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula.  (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of the interest period.)

 

LIBOR Rate = London Inter-Bank Offered Rate

 

                                                                                         (1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

 

Where,

 

 

(i)

“London Inter-Bank Offered Rate” means, for any applicable interest period, the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period.  If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank.  A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

 

 

(ii)

“Reserve Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent.  The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.

 

(d)

The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon Pacific time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified above.  For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.

 

 

8


 

 

(e)

The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing:

 

 

(i)

Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London inter-bank market; or

 

 

(ii)

the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion.

 

(f)

Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described below.  A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.

 

(g)

The prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing.  For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not such Portion was in fact so funded.

 

4.           FEES AND EXPENSES

 

4.1.            Fees .

 

(a)

Closing Fee .  The Borrower agrees to pay a one-time loan fee in the amount of Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500).  This fee is due on the date of this Agreement.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may effect payment of this fee when due by charging the full amount thereof either to the Facility or to the Borrower’s designated deposit account with the Bank.

 

(b)

Late Fee .  To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late.  The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default, including Bank’s right to charge interest at the default interest rate provided for in Section 6.6.

(b)

The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of the Borrower’s books, records and collateral, and appraisals of the collateral, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require.  The actions described in this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers.

 

5.           COLLATERAL

 

The timely payment and performance of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement are secured by a security interest in the Collateral described in the Security Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between the Borrower and the Bank.

(c)

The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions.  This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents.

(a)

The Borrower agrees that interest and principal payments and any fees will be deducted automatically on the due date from the Designated Deposit Account.

 

(b)

6.4.            Banking Days .

 

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market.  All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day.  All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.

 

6.5.            Interest Calculation .

 

Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.  This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.  Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid.

Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage points higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement.  This may result in compounding of interest.  This will not constitute a waiver of any default.

6.7.            Taxes .

 

If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the United States, the Borrower will not deduct any foreign taxes from any payments it makes to the Bank.  If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the Borrower (including payments under this paragraph), the Borrower will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed.  The Borrower will confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official tax receipts (or notarized copies) within thirty (30) days after the due date.
