AMENDED AND RESTATED STANDARD LOAN
AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Standard Loan
Agreement dated as of August 25, 2009, is entered into by and
between Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) and
Point.360, a California corporation (the “Borrower”)m
with reference to the following facts:
RECITALS
A. The
Bank and the Borrower are parties to a Standard Loan Agreement,
dated as of August 7, 2007 (the “Prior Loan
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Bank has provided the
Borrower a secured working capital revolving credit facility in the
amount of $8,000,000 and a sub-line of credit of $1,000,000 for the
issuance of standby letters of credit.
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.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
In addition to the terms which are defined
elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms have the
respective meanings indicated for the purposes of this
Agreement:
“ Acceptable Receivable ”
means an account receivable which satisfies the following
requirements:
|
|
The account has
resulted from the sale of goods or the performance of services by
the Borrower in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s
business and without any further obligation on the part of the
Borrower to service, repair, or maintain any such goods sold other
than pursuant to any applicable warranty.
|
|
|
There are no
conditions which must be satisfied before the Borrower is entitled
to receive payment of the account. Accounts arising from
COD sales, consignments or guaranteed sales are not
acceptable.
|
|
|
The debtor upon
the account does not claim any defense to payment of the account,
whether well founded or otherwise.
|
|
|
The account is
not the obligation of an account debtor who has asserted or may
assert any counterclaims or offsets against the Borrower (including
offsets for any “contra accounts” owed by the Borrower
to the account debtor for goods purchased by the Borrower or for
services performed for the Borrower).
|
|
|
The account
represents a genuine obligation of the debtor for goods sold to and
accepted by the debtor, or for services performed for and accepted
by the debtor. To the extent any credit balances exist
in favor of the debtor, such credit balances shall be deducted from
the account balance.
|
|
|
The account
balance does not include the amount of any finance or service
charges payable by the account debtor. To the extent any
finance charges or service charges are included, such amounts shall
be deducted from the account balance.
|
|
|
The Borrower
has sent an invoice to the debtor in the amount of the
account.
|
|
|
The Borrower is
not prohibited by the laws of the state where the account debtor is
located from bringing an action in the courts of that state to
enforce the debtor’s obligation to pay the
account. The Borrower has taken all appropriate actions
to ensure access to the courts of the state where the account
debtor is located, including, where necessary, the filing of a
Notice of Business Activities Report or other similar filing with
the applicable state agency or the qualification by the Borrower as
a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in such
state.
|
|
|
The account is
owned by the Borrower free of any title defects or any liens or
interests of others except the security interest in favor of the
Bank.
|
|
|
The debtor upon
the account is not any of the following:
|
|
|
|
An employee,
affiliate, parent or subsidiary of the Borrower, or an entity which
has common officers or directors with the Borrower.
|
|
|
|
The U.S.
government or any agency of department of the U.S. government
unless the Bank agrees in writing to accept the obligation, the
Borrower complies with the procedures in the Federal Assignment of
Claims Act of 1940 (41 U.S.C. § 15) with respect to
the obligation, and the underlying contract expressly provides that
neither the U.S. government nor any agency or department thereof
shall have the right of set-off against the Borrower.
|
|
|
|
Any state,
county, city or town or municipality.
|
|
|
|
Any person or
entity located in a foreign country.
|
|
|
The account is
not in default. An account will be considered in default
if any of the following occur:
|
|
|
The account is
not paid within 90 days from its invoice date or 60 days
from its due date, whichever occurs first, provided that, so
long as NewsCorp maintains a credit rating of not lower than BBB by
Standard & Poors, accounts in an aggregate amount at any time
of up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) owed to the
Borrower by 20 th Century Fox may be outstanding for up to 120
days from their invoice date or 90 days from their due date,
whichever occurs first;
|
|
|
|
the debtor
obligated upon the account suspends business, makes a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails to pay its debts
generally as they come due; or
|
|
|
|
any petition is
filed by or against the debtor obligated upon the account under any
bankruptcy law or any other law or laws for the relief of
debtors.
|
|
|
|
The account is
not the obligation of a debtor who is in default (as defined above)
on 50% or more of the accounts upon which such debtor is
obligated.
|
|
|
The account
does not arise from the sale of goods which remain in the
Borrower’s possession or under the Borrower’s
control.
|
|
|
The account is
not evidenced by a promissory note or chattel paper, nor is the
account debtor obligated to the Borrower under any other obligation
which is evidenced by a promissory note.
|
|
|
The account is
otherwise acceptable to the Bank.
|
In addition to the foregoing limitations, the
dollar amount of accounts included as Acceptable Receivables which
are the obligations of a single debtor shall not exceed the
concentration limit established for that debtor. To the
extent the total of such accounts exceed a debtor’s
concentration limit, the amount of any such excess shall be
excluded. The concentration limit for each debtor shall
be equal to 20% of the total amount of the Borrower’s
Acceptable Receivables at that time, provided that, so long
as NewsCorp maintains a credit rating of not lower than BBB by
Standard & Poors, the concentration limit for 20
th Century Fox shall be equal to 45% of the total
amount of the Borrower’s Acceptable Receivables at any
time.
“ Borrowing Base ” means 80%
of the balance due on Acceptable Receivables.
After calculating the Borrowing Base as provided
above, the Bank may deduct such reserves as the Bank may establish
from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment, including,
without limitation, reserves for rent at leased locations subject
to statutory or contractual landlord’s liens, dilution, and
the amount of estimated maximum exposure, as determined by the Bank
from time to time, under any interest rate contracts which the
Borrower enters into with the Bank (including interest rate swaps,
caps, floors, options thereon, combinations thereof, or similar
contracts).
“ Borrowing Certificate ”
means a certificate setting forth a calculation of the Acceptable
Receivables and the Borrowing Base, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto.
“ Credit Limit ” means the
amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

Corporation.
“ Guarantor “ means
International Video Conversions, Inc., a California corporation and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Borrower.
2. THE
FACILITY: LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS
2.1.
Line of Credit Amount .
|
|
During the
availability period described below, the Bank will provide a line
of credit (the “Facility”) to the
Borrower. The amount of the Facility (the
“Facility Commitment”) is equal to the lesser of
(i) the Credit Limit or (ii) the Borrowing Base as
determined by the Bank from time to time in accordance with this
Agreement.
|
|
|
The Facility is
a revolving line of credit. During the availability
period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow
them.
|
|
|
The Borrower
agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding to exceed
the Facility Commitment. If the Borrower exceeds this
limit, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank
upon the Bank’s demand.
|
2.2.
Availability Period .
The Facility is
available between the date hereof and October 31, 2010, or such
earlier date as the availability may terminate as provided in this
Agreement (as applicable, the “Facility Expiration
Date”).
The
availability period for the Facility will be considered renewed if
and only if the Bank has sent to the Borrower a written notice of
renewal effective as of the Facility Expiration Date for the
Facility (the “Renewal Notice”). If the
Facility is renewed, it will continue to be subject to all the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement except as modified
by the Renewal Notice. If the Facility is renewed, the
term “Expiration Date” shall mean the date set forth in
the Renewal Notice as the Expiration Date and the same process for
renewal will apply to any subsequent renewal of the
Facility. A renewal fee may be charged at the
Bank’s option. The amount of the renewal fee will
be specified in the Renewal Notice.
2.3.
Conditions to Availability of Credit .
In addition to
the items required to be delivered to the Bank under the paragraph
entitled “Financial Information” in the
“Covenants” section of this Agreement, the Borrower
will promptly deliver the following to the Bank at such times as
may be requested by the Bank:
|
|
A borrowing
certificate, in form and detail satisfactory to the Bank, setting
forth the Acceptable Receivables on which the requested extension
of credit is to be based.
|
|
|
Copies of the
invoices or the record of invoices from the Borrower’s sales
journal for such Acceptable Receivables and a listing of the names
and addresses of the debtors obligated thereunder.
|
|
|
Copies of the
delivery receipts, purchase orders, shipping instructions, bills of
lading and other documentation pertaining to such Acceptable
Receivables.
|
|
|
Copies of the
cash receipts journal pertaining to the borrowing
certificate.
|
|
|
The Borrower
will pay interest on September 1, 2009, and then on the first day
of each month thereafter until payment in full of any principal
outstanding under the Facility.
|
|
|
The Borrower
will repay in full any principal, interest or other charges
outstanding under the Facility no later than the Facility
Expiration Date.
|
|
|
Any interest
period for an optional interest rate (as described below) shall
expire no later than the Facility Expiration Date.
|
|
|
The interest
rate is a rate per year equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus
the Applicable Margin as defined below.
|
|
|
The Prime Rate
is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the
Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the
Bank based on various factors, including the Bank’s costs and
desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and
is used as a reference point for pricing some loans. The
Bank may price loans to its customers at, above, or below the Prime
Rate. Any change in the Prime Rate shall take effect at
the opening of business on the day specified in the public
announcement of a change in the Bank’s Prime Rate.
|
2.6.
Optional Interest Rates .
Instead of the
interest rate based on the rate stated in the paragraph entitled
“Interest Rate” above, the Borrower may elect the
optional interest rate listed below for the Facility during
interest periods agreed to by the Bank and the
Borrower. The optional interest rate shall be subject to
the terms and conditions described later in this
Agreement. Any principal amount bearing interest at the
optional rate under this Agreement is referred to as a
“Portion.” The following optional interest
rate is available:
The LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin as
defined below.
For the period
commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date the
Bank receives a compliance certificate and financial statement for
the Borrower's fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2009 (the
“Initial Pricing Period”), the Applicable Margin for
advances bearing interest on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be
minus one-quarter (0.25) percentage point per annum and the
Applicable Margin for advances bearing interest on the basis of the
LIBOR Rate shall be plus two and one-quarter (2.25)
percentage points per annum. Following the Initial
Pricing Period, the Applicable Margin shall be the following
amounts per annum, based upon the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as
defined in the “Covenants” section of this Agreement),
as set forth in the most recent compliance certificate (or, if no
compliance certificate is required, the Borrower’s most
recent financial statements) received by the Bank as required in
the Covenants section:

Except during
the Initial Pricing Period, the Applicable Margin shall be in
effect from the date the most recent compliance certificate or
financial statement is received by the Bank until the date the next
compliance certificate or financial statement is received;
provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to timely deliver the
next compliance certificate or financial statement, the Applicable
Margin from the date such compliance certificate or financial
statement was due until the date such compliance certificate or
financial statement is received by the Bank shall be the highest
pricing level set forth above.
2.8.
Standby Letters of Credit .
|
|
During the
availability period, at the request of the Borrower, the Bank will
issue standby letters of credit with a maximum maturity of 365 days
but not to extend beyond the Facility Expiration
Date. The standby letters of credit may include a
provision providing that the maturity date will be automatically
extended each year for an additional year unless the Bank gives
written notice to the contrary; provided, however, that each
standby letter of credit must include a final maturity date of not
later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Facility
Expiration Date and which will not be subject to automatic
extension.
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
In calculating
the principal amount outstanding under the Facility Commitment, the
calculation shall include the amount of any standby
letters of credit outstanding, including amounts drawn on any
standby letters of credit and not yet reimbursed.
|
|
|
|
Any sum drawn
under a standby letter of credit may, at the option of the Bank, be
added to the principal amount outstanding under this
Agreement. The amount will bear interest and be due as
described elsewhere in this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
If there is a
default under this Agreement, to immediately prepay and make the
Bank whole for any outstanding standby letters of
credit.
|
|
|
|
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.

issuance and/or other fees that the Bank notifies the Borrower will
be charged for issuing and processing standby letters of credit for

a non-refundable fee equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per
annum of the outstanding undrawn amount of each standby letter of
credit, payable annually in advance, calculated on the basis of the
face amount outstanding on the day the fee is
calculated. If there is a default under this Agreement,
at the Bank’s option, the amount of the fee shall be
increased to six percent (6%) per annum, effective starting on the
day the Bank provides notice of the increase to the
Borrower.

3. OPTIONAL
INTEREST RATE
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.
The election of
the LIBOR Rate shall be subject to the following terms and
requirements:
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Each LIBOR Rate
Portion will be for an amount not less than Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000).
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
“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.
|
|
|
|
“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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
the LIBOR Rate
does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate
Portion.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
Unused
Commitment Fee . The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on
any difference between the Facility Commitment and the amount of
credit it actually uses, determined by the average of the daily
amount of credit outstanding during the specified
period. The fee will be calculated at 0.50% per
year. The calculation of credit outstanding shall
include the undrawn amount of letters of credit. This
fee is due in arrears on September 1, 2009, and on the same day of
each following quarter in arrears until the
expiration of the availability period.
|
|
|
Waiver
Fee . If the
Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this
Agreement, the Borrower will, at the Bank’s option, pay the
Bank a fee for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the
Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or
amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that
the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested
by the Borrower. The Bank may impose additional
requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment.
|
|
|
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.
|
The Borrower agrees to immediately repay the
Bank for expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing,
recording and search fees, appraisal fees, title report fees, and
documentation fees.
4.3.
Reimbursement Costs .
|
|
The Borrower
agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the
preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument
required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are
not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any
allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
|
|
|
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.
|
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.
6. DISBURSEMENTS,
PAYMENTS AND COSTS
6.1.
Disbursements and Payments .
|
|
Each payment by
the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available
funds by direct debit to a deposit account as specified
below.
|
|
|
Each
disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be
evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the
Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or
more promissory notes.
|
6.2.
Telephone and Telefax Authorization .
|
|
The Bank may
honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments
or for the designation of optional interest rates and
telefax requests for the issuance of letters of credit given, or
purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to
sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other
individual designated by any one of such authorized
signers.
|
|
|
Advances will
be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from the
Borrower’s designated deposit account with the Bank (the
“Designated Bank Account”).
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
The Borrower
agrees that interest and principal payments and any fees will be
deducted automatically on the due date from the Designated Deposit
Account.
|
|
|
The Borrower
will maintain sufficient funds in the account on the dates the Bank
enters debits authorized by this Agreement. If there are
insufficient funds in the account on the date the Bank enters any
debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the
debit.
|
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.
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.
At the
Bank’s sole option in each instance, the Bank may do one of
the following:
|
|
The Bank may
make advances under this Agreement to prevent or cover an overdraft
on any account of the Borrower with the Bank. Each such
advance will accrue interest from the date of
|
