ARTICLE I
REVOLVING LOAN
1.1 Line of Credit: The Bank is willing to provide to Borrower a
line
of credit of up to $6,000,000 (the "Line of
Credit"). The Bank will make Loans
to Borrower under the Line of Credit from
time to time during the period from
the date of this Agreement through the
business day immediately prior to the
Maturity Date in aggregate amounts not to
exceed the dollar amounts described in
Section 1.2 below, provided that each
advance is made in compliance with all of
the terms and conditions described in
Section 1.2 below.
1.2 Line of Credit Advances: From time to time prior to the
Maturity
Date, the Bank agrees to lend and relend to
Borrower such amounts as Borrower
may request under the Line of Credit,
provided that the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of all borrowings made by
Borrower shall not at any time exceed
an amount (the "Borrowing Base") equal to
the lesser of: (a) $6,000,000; or (b)
(x) 80% of Combined Eligible Accounts
Receivable plus (y) $800,000. All advances
under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced
by the Line of Credit Note. The Line
of Credit shall bear interest and be
payable in the manner described in the Line
of Credit Note. Although the Line of Credit
Note shall be expressed to be
payable in the maximum amount of the Line
of Credit, Borrower shall be obligated
thereunder to pay only the unpaid balance
of amounts advanced to Borrower
together with interest thereon. The Bank's
books and records showing the amount
of such advances shall be prima facie
evidence of Borrower's indebtedness to the
Bank therefore. On the 10th day of each
month hereafter (and, at the request of
the Bank, prior to each disbursement of
loans by the Bank under the Line of
Credit), Borrower shall, at its expense,
furnish to the Bank a fully completed
"Collateral Base Report" certified as true
and accurate by the Chief Financial
Officer of Borrower and the Guarantor and
in a form satisfactory to the Bank,
together with such instruments, title and
lien searches, documents, opinions,
appraisals, certificates or certified
resolutions as the Bank and its counsel
shall reasonably require to assure the Bank
that at the time of each
disbursement Borrower is not in default
under this Agreement. Upon the Bank's
receipt of notice from Borrower of
Borrower's desire for advances under the Line
of Credit, the Bank shall disburse such
loans on the same business day as it
receives such notice, if such notice is
received by 3:00 p.m. or at the end of
the next business day if such notice is not
received by 3:00 p.m.; provided,
that: (i) no Event of Default has occurred
which has not been cured by Borrower
or waived in writing by the Bank; (ii) no
event has occurred, which with notice
and/or the passage of time, could become an
Event of
5
<PAGE>
Default and which has not been cured by
Borrower or waived in writing by the
Bank; and (iii) the outstanding balance of
the Line of Credit Note does not and
will not, after such advance is disbursed,
exceed the Borrowing Base. In the
event that the aggregate outstanding
advances under the Line of Credit exceed
the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower
shall immediately make principal
reduction payments to the Bank sufficient
to reduce the outstanding balance
under the Line of Credit to less than the
amount of the Borrowing Base.
Borrower's failure to make such reductions
within 24 hours after written,
facsimile, oral or other notice is given by
the Bank to Borrower of the need for
such reductions, shall constitute an Event
of Default by Borrower under this
Agreement.
1.3 Prepayment of Line of Credit Note. The Line of Credit Note may
be
prepaid in whole or in part at the option
of Borrower at any time, without
premium or penalty. In case of prepayment
of less than all of the outstanding
principal amount of the Line of Credit
Note, the prepayment will be applied
first to accrued, but unpaid interest on
the Line of Credit Note, and then to
the principal amounts due on the Line of
Credit Note.
1.4 Cross-Defaults and Cross-Collateralization. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any instrument
or other document executed by
Borrower with, or in favor of, the Bank:
(i) occurrence of an Event of Default
under this Agreement shall constitute a
default under each of the Bank
Obligations; and (ii) all of the Collateral
shall secure any and all of the Bank
Obligations.
1.5 Extension of Maturity Date. The Maturity Date may be extended
from
time to time, at the sole discretion of the
Bank, based upon its review of this
Agreement and the Borrower's financial
statements and analysis of such other
information and documents the Bank may deem
relevant. The Bank shall have no
obligation or duty to extend the Maturity
Date.
1.6 Payments. All payments, including any prepayments, by Borrower
on
account of principal, interest or fees,
shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim to the Bank at the address
specified above in lawful money of the
United States of America and in immediately
available funds. If any payment
under this Agreement or any Note becomes
due on a day other than a business day,
its maturity shall be extended to the next
succeeding business day, and with
respect to payments of principal and
interest thereon, shall be payable at the
then applicable rate during such
extension.
1.7 At any time Borrower is entitled to an advance under the Line
of
Credit, the Bank agrees to issue letters of
credit for the account of Borrower
in an amount not in excess of the maximum
advance that Borrower would then be
entitled to obtain under the Line of
Credit, provided that (a) the aggregate
maximum amount which is drawn and remains
unreimbursed under all letters of
credit plus the aggregate maximum available
amount which may be drawn under all
letters of credit which are outstanding at
any time, including without
limitation all letters of credit issued for
the account of Borrower which are
outstanding on the date of the Line of
Credit Note, shall not exceed $100,000,
(b) the issuance of any letter of credit
with an expiration date beyond the
maturity date of the Line of Credit Note
shall be entirely at the discretion of
the Bank, (c) any letter of credit shall be
a standby or commercial letter of
credit and the form of the requested letter
of credit shall be satisfactory to
the Bank, in the Bank's sole discretion,
and (d) Borrower shall have executed an
application and reimbursement agreement
6
<PAGE>
for any letter of credit in the Bank's
standard form. While any letter of credit
is outstanding, the maximum amount of
advances that may be outstanding under the
Line of Credit shall be automatically
reduced by the maximum amount available to
be drawn under any and all such letters of
credit plus the aggregate of the
amounts which have been drawn and remain
unreimbursed under all letters of
credit. Borrower shall pay the Bank a fee
for each letter of credit that is
issued, such fee to be agreed upon for each
letter of credit from time to time
by the Bank and Borrower, provided,
however, that if such agreement is not
reached, the Bank shall be under no
obligation to issue any letter of credit
hereunder. No credit shall be given for
fees paid due to early termination of
any letter of credit. Borrower shall also
pay the Bank's standard transaction
fees with respect to any transactions
occurring on account of any letter of
credit. Each fee shall be payable when the
related letter of credit is issued,
and transaction fees shall be payable upon
completion of the transaction as to
which they are charged. All fees may be
debited by the Bank to any deposit
account of Borrower carried with the Bank
without further authority and, in any
event, shall be paid by Borrower within ten
(10) days following billing.
