EXHIBIT 99.2
U.S. BANK
This Term Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between the undersigned borrower (the “Borrower”) and the undersigned bank (the “Bank”) as of the date set forth on the last page of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 1. LOANS
1.1 Terms for Advance(s). [Choose One:]
x | Single Advance Term Loan. As of the date hereof, the Borrower has obtained a term loan from the Bank in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (the “Loan Amount”). The term loan is evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of the Loan Amount and dated as of the date hereof (the “Note”). |
o | Multiple Advance Term Loan. Prior to n/a or the earlier termination hereof, the Borrower may obtain advances from the Bank in an aggregate amount not exceeding $ n/a (the “Loan Amount”). The term loans will be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower to the Bank in the principal amount of the Loan Amount and dated as of the date hereof (the “Note”). Although the Note will be expressed as payable in the full Loan Amount, the Borrower will be obligated to pay only the amounts actually disbursed hereunder, together with accrued interest on the outstanding balance at the rates and on the dates specified therein and such other charges provided for herein. |
1.2 Advances and Paying Procedure. The Bank is authorized and directed to credit any of the Borrower’s accounts with the Bank (or to the account the Borrower designates in writing) for all loans made hereunder, and the Bank is authorized to debit such account or any other account of the Borrower with the Bank for the amount of any principal, interest or expenses due under the Note or other amount due hereunder on the due date with respect thereto. If, upon any request by the Borrower to the Bank to issue a wire transfer, there is an inconsistency between the name of the recipient of the wire and its identification number as specified by the Borrower, the Bank may, without liability, transmit the payment via wire based solely upon the identification number.
1.3 Closing Fee. The Borrower will pay the Bank a one-time closing fee of $ n/a contemporaneously with execution of this Agreement. This fee is in addition to all other fees, expenses and other amounts due hereunder.
1.4 Compensating Balances. The Borrower will maintain on deposit with the Bank in non-interest bearing accounts average daily collected balances, in excess of that required to support account activity and other credit facilities extended to the Borrower by the Bank, an
amount at lease equal to the sum of (i) n/a and (ii) n/a % of the Loan Amount as computed on a monthly basis. If the Borrower fails to keep and maintain such balances, it will pay a deficiency fee, payable within five days after receipt of a statement therefore calculated on the amount by which the Borrower’s average daily balances are less than the requirements set forth above, computed at a rate equal to the rate set forth in the Note.
1.5 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Upon demand, the Borrower will immediately reimburse the Bank and any participant in the Obligations (defined below) (“Participant”) for all attorneys’ fees and all other costs, fees and out-of-pocket disbursements incurred by the Bank or any Participant in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, defense and enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (defined below), including attorneys’ fees and all other costs and fees (a) incurred before or after commencement of litigation or at trial, on appeal or in any other proceeding, (b) incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding and (c) related to any waivers or amendments with respect thereto (examples of costs and fees include but are not limited to fees and costs for: filing, perfecting or confirming the priority of the Bank’s lien, title searches or insurance, appraisals, environmental audits and other reviews related to the Borrower, any collateral or the loans, if requested by the Bank). The Borrower will also reimburse the Bank and any Participant for all costs of collection, including all attorneys’ fees, before and after judgment, and the costs of preservation and/or liquidation of any collateral.
1.6 Conditions to Borrowing. The Bank will not be obligated to make (or continue to make) advances hereunder unless (i) the Bank has received executed originals of the Note and all other documents or agreements applicable to the loans described herein, including but not limited to the documents specified in Article III (collectively with this Agreement the “Loan Documents”), in form and content satisfactory to the Bank; (ii) if the loan is secured, the Bank has received confirmation satisfactory to it that the Bank has a properly perfected security interest, mortgage or lien, with the proper priority; (iii) the Bank has received certified copies of the Borrower’s governance documents and certification of entity status satisfactory to the Bank and all other relevant documents; (iv) the Bank has received a certified copy of a resolution or authorization in form and content satisfactory to the Bank authorizing the loan and all acts contemplated by this Agreement and all related documents, and confirmation of proper authorization of all guaranties and other acts of third parties contemplated hereunder; (v) if required by the Bank, the Bank has been provided with Opinion of the Borrower’s counsel in form and content satisfactory to the Bank confirming the matters outlined in Section 2.2 and such other matters as the Bank requests; (vi) no default exists under this Agreement or under any other Loan Documents, or under any other agreements by and between the Borrower and the Bank; and (vii) all proceedings taken in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any required environmental assessments), and all instruments, authorizations and other documents applicable thereto, are satisfactory to the Bank and its counsel.
ARTICLE II. WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
While any part of the credit granted to the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is available or any obligations under any of the Loan Documents are unpaid or outstanding, the Borrower continuously warrants and agrees as follows:
2.1 Accuracy of Information. All information, certificates or statements given to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be true and complete when given.
2.2 Organization and Authority; Litigation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party (i) are within the borrower’s power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all appropriate entity action; (iii) do not require the approval of any governmental agency; and (iv) will not violate any law, agreement or restriction by which the Borrower is bound. If the Borrower is not an individual, the Borrower is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, has all requisite power and authority and possesses all licenses necessary to conduct its business and own its properties. There is no litigation or administrative proceeding threatened or pending against the Borrower which would, if adversely determined, have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition or its property.
2.3 Existence; Business Activities; Assets; Change of Control. The Borrower will (i) preserve its existence, rights and franchises; (ii) not make any material change in the nature or manner of its business activities; (iii) not liquidate, dissolve, acquire another entity or merge or consolidate with or into another entity or change its form of organization; (iv) not amend its organizational documents in any manner that may conflict with any term or condition of the Loan Documents; and (v) not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets. Other than the transfer to a trust beneficially controlled by the transferor, no event shall occur which causes or results in a transfer of majority ownership of the Borrower while any Obligations are outstanding or while the Bank has any obligation to provide funding to the Borrower.
2.4 Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock; Speculation. Advances by the Bank hereunder will be used exclusively by the Borrower for the purposes represented to the Bank. The Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of the Bank, redeem, purchase, or retire any of the capital stock or declare or pay any dividends, or make any other payments or distributions of a similar type or nature including withdrawal distributions. The Borrower will not use any of the loan proceeds to purchase or carry “margin” stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of any of the proceeds will be used for speculative investment purposes, including, without imitation, speculating or hedging in the commodities and/or futures market.
2.5 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in a written schedule attached to this Agreement (if no schedule is attached, there are no exceptions), there exists no uncorrected violation by the Borrower of any federal, state or local laws (including statutes, regulations, ordinances or other governmental restrictions and requirements) relating to the discharge of air
pollutants, water pollutants or process wastewater or otherwise relating to the environment or Hazardous Substances as hereinafter defined, whether such laws currently exist or are enacted in the future (collectively “Environmental Laws”). The term “Hazardous Substances” will mean any hazardous or toxic wastes, chemicals or other substances, the generation, possession or existence of which is prohibited or governed by any Environmental Laws. The Borrower is not subject to any judgment, decree, order or citation, or a party to (or threatened with) any litigation or administrative proceeding, which asserts that the Borrower (i) has violated any Environmental Laws; (ii) is required to clean up, remove or take remedial or other action with respect to any Hazardous Substances (collectively “Remedial Action”); or (iii) is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any Remedial Action, as a potentially responsible party. Except as disclosed on the Borrower’s environmental questionnaire provided to the Bank, there are not now, nor to the Borrower’s knowledge after reasonable investigation have there ever been, any Hazardous Substances (or tanks or other facilities for the storage of Hazardous Substances) stored, deposited, recycled or disposed of on, under or at any real estate owned or occupied by the Borrower during the periods that the Borrower owned or occupied such real estate, which if present on the real estate or in soils or ground water, could require Remedial Action. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there are no proposed or pending changes in Environmental Laws which would adversely affect the Borrower or its business, and there are no conditions existing currently or likely to exist while the Loan Documents are in effect which would subject the Borrower to Remedial Action or other liability. The Borrower currently complies with and will continue to timely comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; and will provide the Bank, immediately upon receipt, copies of any correspondence, notice, complaint, order or other document from any source asserting or alleging any circumstance or condition which requires or may require a financial contribution by the Borrower or Remedial Action or other response by or on the part of the Borrower under Environmental Laws, or which seeks damages or civil, criminal or punitive penalties from the Borrower for an alleged violation of Environmental Laws.
2.6 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower has complied with all laws applicable to its business and its properties, and has all permits, licenses and approvals required by such laws, copies of which have been provided to the Bank.
2.7 Restriction on Indebtedness. The Borrower will not create, incur, assume or have outstanding any indebtedness for borrowed money (including capitalized leases) except (i) any indebtedness owing to the Bank and its affiliates, and (ii) any other indebtedness outstanding on the date hereof, and shown on the Borrower’s financial statements delivered to the Bank prior to the date hereof, provided that such other indebtedness will not be increased.
2.8 Restriction on Liens. The Borrower will not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or other lien or levy upon or security interest in any of the Borrower’s property now owned or hereafter acquired, except (i) taxes and assessments which are either not delinquent or which are being contested in good faith with adequate reserves provided; (ii) easements, restrictions and minor title irregularities which do not, as a practical matter, have an adverse effect upon the ownership and use of the affected property; (iii) liens in favor of the Bank and its affiliates; and (iv) other liens disclosed in writing to the Bank prior to the date hereof.
2.9 Restriction on Contingent Liabilities. The Borrower will not guarantee or become a surety or otherwise contingently liable for any obligations of others, except pursuant to the deposit and collection of checks and similar matters in the ordinary course of business.
2.10 Insurance. The Borrower will maintain insurance to such extent, covering such risks and with such insurer as is usual and customary for businesses operating similar properties, and as is satisfactory to the Bank, including insurance for fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, public liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance; and will designate the Bank as loss payee with a “Lender Loss Payable” endorsement on any casualty policies and take such other action as the Bank may reasonably request to ensure that the Bank will receive (subject o no other interests) the insurance proceeds on the Bank’s collateral.
2.11 Taxes and Other Liabilities. The Borrower will pay and discharge, when due, all of its taxes, assessments and other liabilities, except when the payment thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate procedures which will avoid foreclosure of liens securing such items, and with adequate reserves provided therefor.

The financial statements and other information previously provided to the Bank or provided to the Bank in the future are or will be complete and accurate and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The requirement of providing timely notice to the Bank represents the parties’ agreed-to standard of performance regarding claims against the Bank. Notwithstanding any claim that the Borrower may have against the Bank, and regardless of any notice the Borrower may have given the Bank, the Bank will not be liable to the Borrower for consequential and/or special damages arising therefrom, except those damages arising form the Bank’s willful misconduct.
