4. If No Notice . If Borrower fails to select an interest rate option in accordance with the foregoing prior to a new Advance, or if a LIBOR Advance is selected for a new Advance but is not available, such new Advance made shall be deemed to be a Prime Rate Advance.

8. Computation of Interest . All computations of interest with respect to LIBOR Advances shall be made by the Bank on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All computations of interest with respect to Prime Rate Advances shall be made by the Bank on the basis of an actual three hundred and sixty-five/sixty (365/366) day year, as the case may be. Each determination by Bank of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

9. Default Rate . Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not Bank has accelerated payment of a Note), or upon demand (if a Note evidences a demand obligation), or after maturity or after a judgment has been rendered on a Note, Borrower’s right to select pricing options shall cease and the unpaid principal of each Loan or Advance shall, at the Bank’s option, bear interest at a rate which is two percent (2%) per annum above the Prime Rate (“Default Rate”).

10. Late Charges . Borrower shall pay with respect to any Loan, upon billing therefor, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment of principal, other than principal due at Maturity, interest, or both, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the due date thereof.

Commercial Loan Agreement – Micronetics, Inc.

 

1. Mandatory Prepayments .

(i) If at any time the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit Loan exceeds the Maximum Available Amount, Borrower shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding amount to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(ii) Immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of the net proceeds resulting from any of (a) an asset disposition (other than an asset disposition in the ordinary course of business), (b) an insured loss of properties or assets (provided that Borrower has not submitted to Bank a proposal for use of such proceeds for the repair or replacement of the assets subject to such loss and uses such proceeds within 180 days of the receipt thereof to repair or replace such properties or assets with equivalent properties or assets to be used in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business), or (c) the issuance by Borrower of its equity securities in an equity financing, Borrower shall prepay the Loans within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such net proceeds in an amount equal to such net proceeds. For purpose of the foregoing, “net proceeds” means the proceeds resulting from such transaction or event described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) less (A) commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates), (B) transfer taxes, (C) amounts payable to holders of senior Liens (to the extent such Liens constitute Permitted Encumbrances hereunder), if any, and (D) an appropriate reserve for income taxes in accordance with GAAP in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection C. 1. (iii) below.

(iii) Any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to subsection C. 1. (ii) above shall be applied as follows: first , to fees and reimbursable expenses of Bank then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second , to interest then due and payable on the Revolving Line of Credit Loan; third , to interest then due and payable on the Term Loan; fourth , to the principal balance of the Revolving Line of Credit Loan outstanding until the same shall have been repaid in full and the Maximum Available Amount shall be permanently reduced by the amount so prepaid; and fifth , to the principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding in reverse order of maturity until the same shall have been repaid in full. Any partial prepayment of principal under the Term Loan shall first be applied to any installment of principal then due and then be applied to the principal due in the reverse order of maturity, and no such partial prepayment shall relieve Borrower of the obligation to pay each subsequent installment of principal when due.

(iv) Nothing in this Section C. 1. shall be construed to constitute Bank’s consent to any transaction referred to in subsection C. 1. (ii) above which is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(v) In the event of any prepayment pursuant to the Section C. 1. of any LIBOR Advance, Borrower shall compensate Bank in accordance with the provisions of Sections C. 2., 3., and 4. below with respect to the prepayment of such LIBOR Advance.

2. Voluntary Prepayment .

 

- 8 -


Commercial Loan Agreement – Micronetics, Inc.

 

(i) Borrower may voluntarily prepay a LIBOR Advance in whole or in part at any time, upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable). In such event, Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon request of Bank, such amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of (i) any payment of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; (ii) any failure by Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Advance on the date specified by Borrower’s written notice; and (iii) any failure by Borrower to pay a LIBOR Advance on the date for payment specified in Borrower’s written notice. Without limiting the foregoing Borrower shall pay to Bank a Yield Maintenance Fee determined as provided below respecting any prepayment of a LIBOR Advance.

(ii) Borrower may voluntarily prepay a Prime Rate Advance in whole or in part at any time without prior written notice and without payment of a prepayment fee or penalty.

3. Calculation of Yield Maintenance Fee .

(i) The Yield Maintenance Fee shall be calculated based on the remainder of the applicable Interest Period all in accordance with the following: The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the last day of the current Interest Period, shall be subtracted from the applicable Revolving Rate in effect at the time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the Interest Period during which the prepayment is made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United States Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining in the current Interest Period. The resulting amount shall be the yield maintenance fee due to Bank upon the prepayment of the LIBOR Advance. If Bank elects to declare any Loan to be immediately due and payable, then the Yield Maintenance Fee with respect to the outstanding LIBOR Advances thereunder shall become due and payable in the same manner as though Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment.

(ii) The Yield Maintenance Fee shall be payable in respect of all prepayments of principal whether mandatory, voluntary or involuntary including, without limitation, prepayments made upon acceleration of the Loan, or application of insurance or eminent domain proceeds.

4. Make Whole Provision . Borrower shall pay to Bank, immediately upon request and notwithstanding contrary provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, such amounts as shall, in the conclusive judgment of Bank (in the absence of manifest error), compensate Bank for the loss, cost or expense which it may reasonably incur as a result of (i) any payment or prepayment, under any circumstances whatsoever, whether mandatory, voluntary or involuntary, of all or any portion of a LIBOR Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period of a LIBOR Advance, (ii) the conversion, for any reason whatsoever, whether

 

- 9 -


Commercial Loan Agreement – Micronetics, Inc.

 

mandatory, voluntary or involuntary, of any LIBOR Advance to a Prime Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) the failure of all or a portion of a Loan Advance which was to have borne interest at the LIBOR Rate pursuant to the request of Borrower to be made under the Loan Agreement (except as a result of a failure by Bank to fulfill Bank's obligations to fund), or (iv) the failure of Borrower to borrow in accordance with any request submitted by it for a LIBOR Advance. Such amounts payable by Borrower shall be equal to any administrative costs actually incurred, plus any amounts required to compensate for any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by Bank to fund or maintain a LIBOR Advance plus, in any event, but without duplication, a Yield Maintenance Fee.

D. Additional Provisions Related to Interest Rate .

1. Increased Costs . If, due to any one or more of: (i) the introduction of any applicable law or regulation or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements already referred to in the above definition of LIBOR) in the interpretation or application by any authority charged with the interpretation or application thereof of any law or regulation; or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any governmental central bank or other (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, including without limitation changes which affect or would affect the amount of capital or reserves required or expected to be maintained by Bank, with respect to all or any portion of any Loan, or any corporation controlling Bank, on account thereof, then Borrower from time to time shall, upon written demand by Bank, pay Bank additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Bank against the increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of the increased cost and the reason therefor submitted to Borrower by Bank, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

2. Illegality . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the applicable Note, if the introduction of or change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty, statute, regulation or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or government authority shall assert by directive, guideline or otherwise, that it is unlawful, for Bank to make or maintain LIBOR Advances or to continue to fund or maintain the LIBOR Advances then, on written notice thereof and demand by Bank to Borrower, (a) the obligation of Bank to make LIBOR Advances and to continue any LIBOR Advances shall terminate and (b) all principal outstanding under any Note shall bear interest at the Prime Rate.

3. Additional LIBOR Conditions . The selection by Borrower of a LIBOR Rate and the maintenance of LIBOR Advances at such rate shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

(i) Availability . If, before or after Borrower has selected to take or maintain a LIBOR Advance, Bank notifies Borrower that:

dollar deposits in the amount and for the maturity requested are not available to Bank in the London interbank market at the rate specified in

 

- 10 -


Commercial Loan Agreement – Micronetics, Inc.

 

 

the definition of LIBOR set forth above, or

 

 

(b)

reasonable means do not exist for Bank to determine LIBOR for the amount(s) and Interest Period(s) requested, then the Advance which would have borne interest at the LIBOR Rate shall bear interest at the Prime Rate.

(ii) Payments Net of Taxes . All payments and prepayments of principal and interest under each Note shall be made net of any taxes and costs resulting from having principal outstanding at or computed with reference to LIBOR. Without limiting the generality of the preceding obligation, illustrations of such taxes and costs are taxes, or the withholding of amounts for taxes, of any nature whatsoever including income, excise, interest equalization taxes (other than United States or state income taxes) as well as all levies, imposts, duties or fees whether now in existence or which become in effect as the result of a change in or promulgation of any treaty, statute, regulations, or interpretation thereof or any directive guideline or otherwise by a central bank or fiscal authority (whether or not having the force of law) or a change in the basis of, or the time of payment of, such taxes and other amounts resulting therefrom.

4. Prime Rate Advances . Each Prime Rate Advance shall continue as a Prime Rate Advance until paid in full, unless sooner converted, in whole or in part, to a LIBOR Advance, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable Note.

5. Conversion of Other Advances . At the end of each applicable Interest Period, the applicable LIBOR Advance shall remain a LIBOR Advance having an Interest Period of the same duration as the immediately preceding Interest Period unless Borrower selects another option in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the applicable Note.
