EXHIBIT 10.2
AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
| U.S. $2,000,000.00 | Dated as of November 5, 2021 |
| Minnetonka, Minnesota |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the Revolving Credit Termination Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement hereinafter defined) the undersigned, PRO-DEX, INC., a Colorado corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of Minnesota Bank & Trust, a Minnesota state banking corporation (the “Lender”), the principal sum of TWO MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS (U.S. $2,000,000.00) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans (as hereinafter defined) made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
Interest. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until such principal amount is paid in full at a fluctuating annual rate of interest equal to the greater of (a) 2.75% or (b) the Prime Rate (hereinafter defined) minus 0.50%, as in effect on the date hereof and as the same may adjust from time to time. Interest accrued during each calendar month shall be due and payable on the first day of the following calendar month, with the first such interest payment due on December 1, 2021. Interest shall also be payable at maturity and interest accrued after maturity shall be payable on demand. The term “Prime Rate” shall mean the prime rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal, floating, and changing with each change of such published rate, or if the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish such rate, as published in the Federal Reserve Board’s Statistical Release H. 15. If the Prime Rate becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Xxxxxxxx’s request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph. NOTICE: under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
Payments. Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to the Lender at 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (or other location specified by the Lender) in immediately available funds. By its execution of this Note, the Borrower authorizes the Lender to charge from time to time against any of Xxxxxxxx’s depository accounts maintained with the Lender any such payments when due and the Lender will use its reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such charges.
Interest Calculation Method. Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in any portion of a month in which interest is due. If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

Prepayment; Minimum Interest Charge. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Xxxxxxxx understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $10.00. Other than Borrower’s obligations to pay any minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Xxxxxx in writing, relieve Xxxxxxxx of Xxxxxxxx’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payment will reduce the principal balance due. Xxxxxxxx agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Xxxxxx may accept it without losing any of Xxxxxx’s rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Minnesota Bank & Trust, 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.
Late Charge. If a payment due hereunder is not made within seven days after the date when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender a late payment charge of 5% of the amount of the overdue payment to compensate Lender for a portion of the cost related to handling the overdue payment.
Interest After Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, the interest rate on this Note shall be increased by adding an additional 3.000 percentage point margin over the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (such increased rate of interest being, the “Default Rate”). However, in no event will the interest rate exceed the maximum interest rate limitations under applicable law.
Credit Agreement. This Note is the Revolving Credit Note referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2020 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time being the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) between the Borrower and the Lender. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Revolving Credit Loans (the “Revolving Credit Loans”) by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Revolving Credit Loan being evidenced by this Note; (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events prior to the maturity hereof upon the terms and conditions therein specified; and (iii) contains provisions for the mandatory prepayment hereof upon certain conditions.
