Upon demand, PINNACLE DATA
SYSTEMS, INC. , an Ohio corporation with offices at 6600 Port
Road, Groveport, Ohio 43125 (“Borrower”) shall pay to
the order of KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION , a national
banking association, with offices at 88 East Broad Street,
Columbus, Ohio 43215, and its successors and assigns
(“Lender”) $8,000,000, or so much thereof as may have
been advanced under this Note plus interest on the outstanding
balance from this date until paid.
Advances. This Note is being entered into pursuant to the
Loan Agreement dated the same date as this Note (the “Loan
Agreement”) between Lender and Borrower. Lender will, upon
request from Borrower, make Advances to or for the account of
Borrower subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Loan Agreement, including Section 2.1. Subject to the
foregoing, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this
Note.
Interest. Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding
principal balance of this Note at the rate per annum equal to the
Prime Rate plus 0.25%. “Prime Rate” means the rate per
annum from time to time established by the Lender as Lender’s
Prime Rate, whether or not such rate is publicly announced; the
Prime Rate may not be the lowest interest rate charged by the
Lender for commercial or other extensions of credit. In the event
of any change in the Prime Rate, the rate of interest applicable to
Borrower’s loans evidenced hereby shall be adjusted to
immediately correspond with each such change. All computations of
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and paid for
the actual number of days elapsed.
LIBOR Rate.
Provided that no Event of Default
(as defined in the Loan Agreement) exists and provided further that
Lender has not made a demand that the entire outstanding balance of
this Note be paid in full, Borrower shall have the option (the
“LIBOR Rate Option”) to elect from time to time, in the
manner and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate as the interest rate for all or any portion of
the advances which would otherwise bear interest at the Prime
Rate.
1. For purposes hereof, the
following definitions apply:
“Adjusted LIBOR Rate”
means for any LIBOR Interest Period, an interest rate per annum
equal to the sum of (a) the rate obtained by dividing
(x) the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period by
(y) a percentage equal to one hundred percent
(100%) minus the Reserve Percentage for such LIBOR Interest
Period and (b) the LIBOR Margin.
“LIBOR
Rate” means the rate per annum calculated by the Lender in
good faith, which Lender determines with reference to the rate per
annum (rounded upwards to the next higher whole multiple of
1/16 th if such rate is not such a
multiple) at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by
prime banks in the London interbank eurodollar market two LIBOR
Business Days prior to the day on which such rate is calculated by
the Lender, in an amount comparable to the amount of such advance
and with a maturity equal to the applicable LIBOR Interest
Period.
“LIBOR Business Day”
means a day on which dealings are carried on in the London
interbank eurodollar market.
“LIBOR Interest Period”
means the period commencing on the date an advance bearing interest
at the LIBOR Rate is made, continued, or converted and continuing
overnight, with successive periods commencing daily
thereafter.
“LIBOR Margin” means
3.00% per annum.
“Reserve Percentage”
means for any LIBOR Interest Period, that percentage which is
specified three (3) business days before the first day of the
such LIBOR Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor) or any other governmental or
quasi-governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Lender for
determining the maximum reserve requirement (including, but not
limited to, any basic, supplemental, marginal, or emergency reserve
requirement) for Lender with respect to liabilities or assets
constituting or including (among other liabilities)
“Eurocurrency liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) in an
amount equal to that of the advances affected by such LIBOR
Interest Period and with a maturity equal to the LIBOR Interest
Period.
2. Borrower may exercise the LIBOR
Rate Option is by giving Lender irrevocable written notice of such
exercise on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the proposed
commencement of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period, which written
notice shall specify: (i) the portion of the advances with
respect to which Borrower is electing the LIBOR Rate Option,
(ii) the LIBOR Business Day upon which the applicable LIBOR
Interest Period is to commence and (iii) the duration of the
applicable LIBOR Interest Period. Upon the expiration of the
initial LIBOR Interest Period, Borrower may elect a new LIBOR Rate
or the Adjusted Prime Rate. If Borrower fails to make an election,
the advances will bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for
consecutive LIBOR Interest Periods until an election is made.
Lender shall be under no duty to notify Borrower that a LIBOR
Interest Period is expiring. No LIBOR Interest Period may extend
beyond the maturity date of the Note.
3. If, because of the introduction
of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or
other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, there
shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of making, funding,
maintaining, or allocating capital to any advance bearing interest
at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, including a change in Reserve
Percentage, then Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by
Lender, pay to Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
Lender for such increased cost.
4. If Lender determines (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent
manifest error) (i) that dollar deposits in an amount
approximately equal to the portion of the advances for which
Borrower has exercised the LIBOR Rate Option for the designated
LIBOR Interest Period are not generally available at such time in
the London Interbank Market for deposits in dollars, (ii) that
the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not
adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining an
Adjusted LIBOR Rate on such portion of the advances or of funding
the same for such LIBOR Interest Period due to circumstances
affecting the London Interbank Market generally, (iii) that
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining an Adjusted LIBOR
Rate, or (iv) that an Adjusted LIBOR Rate would be in excess
of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay, then,
in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and all portions
of the advances bearing interest at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate that are
so affected shall, as of the date of such notification with respect
to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv)
above, or as of the expiration of the applicable LIBOR
Interest Period with respect to an event described in clause
(i) or (iii) above, bear interest at the
Adjusted Prime Rate until such time as the situations described
herein are no longer in effect.
5. If, because of the introduction
of or any change in, or because of any judicial, administrative, or
other governmental interpretation of, any law or regulation, it
becomes unlawful for Lender to make, fund, or maintain any advance
at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then (a) Lender shall notify
Borrower that Lender is no longer able to maintain the interest
rate at an Adjusted LIBOR Rate, (b) the LIBOR Rate Option
shall immediately terminate, and (c) the interest rate for any
portion of the advances for which the interest rate is then an
Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall automatically be converted to the Prime
Rate. The
