THIS LOAN
AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (as it may be amended, this "Agreement")
is entered into on August 26, 2008 between PRESIDENTIAL
FINANCIAL CORPORATION ("Lender"),
having an address at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000,
and OE SOURCE, L.C.
("Borrower"),
a Florida Limited Liability Company whose chief executive office is located at
0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx Xx 00000 ("Borrower's
Address"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule A. All
other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have
the meaning provided in the UCC to the extent such terms are defined
therein. The schedules attached to this Agreement are an integral
part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 1. LOANS
AND CREDIT ACCOMMODATIONS.
1.1 Amount.
Subject
to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, at Borrower's request and
provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may, in its
discretion, make Advances to Borrower during the Term, to the extent that there
is sufficient Availability at the time of such request to cover, dollar for
dollar, the requested Advance, and further
provided
that after giving effect to such Advances,
the outstanding balance of all monetary Obligations will not exceed the Maximum
Loan Amount. For this purpose, "Availability"
means, on any date, an amount equal to:
(i)
|
the Eligible
Accounts on such date multiplied by the Accounts Advance
Rate;
|
plus
(ii)
|
the
Eligible Inventory on such date multiplied by the Inventory Advance Rate,
provided, however, Inventory Availability shall be limited to the lesser
of (a) the Maximum Inventory Loan or (b) the outstanding Advances against
Eligible Accounts;
|
minus
(ii) all
Reserves which Lender has established pursuant to Section 1.2 (including
any to be established in connection with the requested Advance);
minus
(iii) the
outstanding balance of all monetary Obligations on such date.
1.2 Reserve
Lender
may from time to time in its discretion establish and revise such reserves as
Lender deems appropriate ("Reserves")
to reflect (i) the amount of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to
the monetary Obligations on such date, (ii) events, conditions, contingencies or
risks which affect or may affect (A) the Collateral or its value, or the
Liens and other rights of Lender in the Collateral or (B) the assets,
business or prospects of Borrower or any Obligor, (iii) Lender's concern
that any Collateral or financial information furnished by or on behalf of
Borrower to Lender is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in
any material respect, (iv) any fact or circumstance which Lender determines
in its discretion constitutes, or could constitute, a Default or Event of
Default or (v) any other events or circumstances which Lender determines in
its discretion make the establishment or revision of a Reserve
prudent. Lender may, in its discretion, establish and revise Reserves
by deducting them in determining Availability or by reclassifying Eligible
Accounts as ineligible. In no event shall the establishment of a
3
Reserve
in respect of a particular actual or contingent liability obligate Lender to
make Advances hereunder to pay such liability or otherwise obligate Lender with
respect thereto.
1.3 Use of
Proceeds.
Borrower
shall be authorized to use the proceeds of the Advances solely to make
expenditures for lawful purposes of Borrower to the extent such expenditures are
not prohibited by the provisions of this Agreement or Applicable
Law. Borrower represents and warrants that lender's loan or loans to
Borrower will be used for nonconsumer purposes and not for personal, family or
household purposes.
1.4 Repayment
Principal
and interest shall be paid as stated in the Demand Secured Promissory Note (the
“Note”) executed by Borrower in favor of Lender contemporaneously
herewith. In addition, if at any time the amount of monetary
Obligations exceeds Availability (any such excess, an "Overadvance"), or if at
any time or for any reason the outstanding amount of Advances extended or issued
pursuant hereto exceeds any of the dollar limitations
(“Overline”). Borrower will immediately pay to Lender the amount of
such Overadvance or Overline Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may, in its
discretion, make or permit the Advances or any other monetary Obligations that
give rise to or constitute an Overadvance or Overline, provided that Borrower
shall, upon Lender's demand, pay to Lender such amounts as shall eliminate such
Overadvance or Overline. All unpaid monetary Obligations shall be due
and payable in full upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2
..
SECTION 2. ADVANCES
TO COVER INTEREST AND FEES; FEES AND EXPENSES.
2.1 Interest
Principal
and interest shall be paid as stated in the Note executed by Borrower in favor
of Lender contemporaneously herewith. The parties agree that, and
Borrower instructs Lender that, immediately upon accrual of interest and other
charges provided for herein and in the Note, such interest and other charges
shall be paid by Advances and charged to Borrower’s Loan Account with
Lender. Such Advances shall thereafter bear interest and be subject
to other charges upon the same terms as other Advances, and such Advances are
agreed by the parties to be principal pursuant to O.C.G.A. Section
7-4-2(A)(3). Borrower specifically agrees, by execution of this Loan
Agreement and Note, to this treatment of all accrued but unpaid interest and
other charges hereunder and under the Note.
2.2 Fees and
Expenses.
In
addition to all interest and other sums payable by Borrower to Lender under this
Agreement, Borrower shall pay Lender the fees and reimbursements listed on Schedule B, which are and
shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable
hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of
this Agreement for any reason.
2.3 Loan
Account.
Lender
shall maintain a loan account in the name of Borrower, reflecting all Advances,
charges, fees, expenses and payments made pursuant to this Agreement (the "Loan
Account"). Lender shall provide Borrower with commercially
reasonable electronic access to information about Borrower’s Loan Account (the
“Online
Statement”); provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable to
Borrower for any damages suffered by Borrower as a result of the temporary
failure or unavailability of or the lack of updates to the Online
Statement. All information posted to the Online Statement shall be
deemed to have been delivered to Borrower and, unless Borrower notifies
Lender in
writing to the contrary (including a detailed description of the alleged error
or omission) within 30 days after such information is made available to
Borrower, the Online Statement shall be deemed correct,
4
accurate
and conclusively binding on Borrower as an account stated (except for reverses
and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by
Lender).
2.4 Expense
Reimbursement.
Borrower
shall reimburse Lender for (i) any Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender and
(ii) all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting and other fees and expenses
suffered or incurred by Lender in connection with: (a) the negotiation and
preparation of any of the Loan Documents and any amendment or modification
thereto; (b) the administration of the Loan Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby; (c) action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or
priority of any of Lender's Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (d) any
inspection of or audits conducted by Lender with respect to Borrower's books and
records or any of the Collateral; or (e) any effort by Lender to verify or
appraise any of the Collateral. lAttorneys fees relating to collection for which
Borrower shall be responsible to reimburse Lender shall be equal to to the
lesser of: (a) actual fees and expenses or (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the
principal and interest owed hereunder at the time of commencement of collection
activities or the maximum amount permitted by law then in effect. All
amounts chargeable to or reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section 2.4 shall
constitute Obligations payable on demand to Lender. The foregoing
shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other
provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the indemnification or
reimbursement by Borrower of claims suffered or incurred by
Lender.
SECTION 3. SECURITY
INTEREST.
3.1 Grant.
To secure
the full and timely payment and performance of all of the Obligations, Borrower
hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon in the
following property and interests in property of Borrower, whether tangible or
intangible, now owned or in existence or hereafter acquired or arising, and
wherever located: all Accounts, Accounts and Securities, Chattel
Paper, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment, Instruments, Investment Property,
General Intangibles, Deposit Accounts, Supporting Obligations, Inventory, Other
Property, all Proceeds and products of all of the foregoing (including proceeds
of any insurance policies and claims against third parties for loss or any
destruction of any of the foregoing), and (iii) all books and records
relating to any of the foregoing.
3.2 Further
Assurances.
Borrower agrees to
comply with all Applicable Laws to perfect Lender's Lien in the Collateral and
to execute such documents as Lender may require to effectuate the foregoing and
to implement this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender
to file financing statements, and all amendments and continuations with respect
thereto, in order to create, perfect or maintain its Lien in the Collateral as a
duly perfected Lien, subject
to no other Liens except Permitted Liens
listed on Schedule
C. Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms any and all financing
statements, amendments and continuations with respect thereto heretofore and
hereafter filed by Lender pursuant to the foregoing authorization.
SECTION 4. ADVANCES
AND ADMINISTRATION.
4.1 Advance
Requests.
Whenever
Borrower desires to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall give Lender notice of such
borrowing request telephonically (and confirmed in writing if requested by
Lender) or by facsimile or electronic mail transmission no later than
11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) or, if in effect, Daylight Savings Time
(“DST”) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing, and notices (in the form
stipulated herein) received by Lender after 11:00 a.m. EST or DST, whichever is
in effect, shall
be deemed received on the next Business Day and notices received other than in
the form stipulated herein shall be ineffective and deemed not received by
Lender. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrower, the
becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the
5
Obligations
(including any interest thereon) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request
(without any requirement for the submission of a notice of borrowing) for an
Advance on the due date of and in an aggregate amount required to pay such
Obligations and the proceeds of such Advance may be disbursed by way of direct
payment of the relevant Obligations, provided
that Lender shall have no obligation to honor any deemed request for an Advance
on or after the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section
9.2, or when an Overadvance exists or would result from such funding or when any
applicable condition precedent is not satisfied, but Lender may do so in its
discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to
have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such
Advance is made after the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to
Section 9.2.
4.2 Remittance of Collections
and Other Proceeds and Procedures..
Borrower
shall direct all Collections to the remittance address provided by Lender in the
Procedures Letter (the “Remittance Address”). Lender shall retain the
sole discretion to require Borrower to enter into a bank agreement or other
agreement governing the remittance of Collections, which agreement shall be in
form and substance acceptable to Lender, and only Lender shall have access to
withdraw or otherwise direct the disposition of Collections. In the
event Borrower receives any Collections or other proceeds of Collateral,
Borrower shall promptly upon receipt (and in all events within three Business
Days of receipt by Borrower) remit, in kind, such Collections or other proceeds
of Collateral directly to the Remittance Address, and shall promptly notify
Lender of such event. Until so forwarded, any such Collections or
other proceeds of Collateral received by Borrower shall not be commingled with
Borrower's other funds and shall be held by Borrower, as trustee of an express
trust, for Lender's benefit. In the event any Collections are
received by Borrower but not remitted to Lender in the time and manner specified
herein, the Misdirected Payment Fee set forth on Schedule B shall be assessed
and charged to Borrower’s Loan Account. Borrower shall specify the
Remittance Address on all agreements and contracts, and take all necessary steps
to ensure all Collections are directed to the Remittance Address. On
all invoices, Borrower will place the Payment Notice that each invoice shall
only be paid to the Remittance Address. All invoices shall be mailed
or otherwise transmitted by Borrower to Account Obligors within five Business
Days of issuance. With each Advance request, Borrower will provide
Lender with copies of all invoices and proof of delivery on all invoices as set
forth in the Procedures Letter along with any other information as Lender may
reasonably request.
4.3 Application of
Payments.
Lender
may, in its discretion, apply all Collections and other proceeds of Collateral
or other payments received with respect to the Obligations, in such order and
manner as Lender shall determine, whether or not the Obligations are due, and
whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of
Default. For purposes of determining Availability, funds received at
the Remittance Address will be credited to the Loan Account upon Lender's
receipt of notice that such items have been credited to the Payment Account,
subject to final payment and collection; provided, however, that for
purposes of computing interest on the Obligations, such items shall be deemed
applied by Lender two Business Days after Lender's receipt of advice of deposit
in the Payment Account. If, as the result of Lender's application of
Collections to the Obligations as authorized by this Section 4.3 a credit
balance exists in favor of Borrower (meaning that, on any date of determination,
the collected balance of Collections after the applicable cutoff time on such
date exceeds the outstanding principal balance of (and all interest, fees and
other amounts payable with respect to) the Obligations after the applicable
cutoff time on such date), such credit balance shall not accrue interest in
favor of Borrower, but shall be available to, and promptly paid by Lender to
Borrower upon Borrower’s request, at any time or times for so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists.
4.4 Notification;
Verification
Lender or
its designee may, from time to time and to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred: (i) verify
directly with the Account Obligors the validity, amount and other matters
relating to the Accounts, by means of mail, telephone or otherwise, either in
the name of Borrower or Lender or such other name as Lender may choose;
(ii) notify Account Obligors that Lender has a Lien in the
6
Accounts
and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Lender; and
(iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Accounts (but
without any duty to do so).
4.5 Power of
Attorney.
Borrower
hereby makes, constitutes and appoints each of Lender's officers or agents as
Borrower's attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, in the name of
Borrower or in the name of Lender, but for Lender's use and benefit, to do or
perform at any time, in Lender's discretion, any of the
following: (i) at any time, irrespective of whether there exists an
Event of Default, receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower
and endorse Borrower's name on any checks or other payment items with respect to
any Collateral and to deposit same and apply them to such of the Obligations as
Lender may elect; and (ii) at any time that an Event of Default exists, cause
all mail to be diverted from any post office box in Borrower's name to a post
office box or other address designated by Lender; demand, xxx for, collect and
receive monies due or to become due on any Accounts and to settle, compound,
compromise or extend the time of payment of any Account or other Collateral upon
terms acceptable to Lender without releasing Borrower from any liability to
Lender, and do such other and further acts in Borrower's name which Lender may
deem necessary or desirable to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or to
collect any of the Obligations or realize upon any Collateral. This
power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
4.6 Books and
Records.
Borrower
irrevocably authorizes all accountants and third parties to disclose and deliver
to Lender, at Borrower's expense, all financial information, books and records,
work papers, management reports and other information in their possession
regarding Borrower. Borrower will not enter into any agreement with
any accounting firm, service bureau or third party to store Borrower's books or
records at any location other than Borrower's Address or at one or more of the
business locations set forth in Schedule F hereto without
first obtaining Lender's written consent (which consent may be conditioned upon

any agreement, instrument or certificate executed in connection with the
granting of a security interest in any Collateral to secure the
9
Obligations;
(xiv) any loss, theft, substantial damage, destruction, sale, foreclosure of or

after demand, fails or refuses to substitute and/or make additions to the
Collateral, or pay down the Obligations satisfactory to Lender; or (xx) Lender
deeming itself insecure as to the ability of Borrower to repay the Obligations,
or as to the sufficiency of the Collateral.
7.2 Remedies.
Without
in any way limiting the right of Lender to demand payment of any portion of
the Obligations payable upon demand in accordance with this Agreement, upon
or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (and for so long as such Event of
Default shall exist), Lender may in its discretion declare the principal of and
accrued interest on the Advances and all other Obligations outstanding to be,
and whereupon the same shall thereupon become without further notice or demand
(all of which notice and demand Borrower expressly waives), forthwith due and
payable and Borrower shall forthwith pay to Lender the entire principal of
and accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances and other Obligations,
together with reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs if such principal
and interest are collected by or through an attorney at law, and Lender may
terminate this Agreement. In addition, Lender may, in its discretion,
at any time or times exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the UCC or any other Applicable Law and all other legal and equitable
rights to which Lender may be entitled under any of the Loan Documents, all of
which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any
other rights or remedies contained in any of the Loan Documents or available
pursuant to Applicable Law, and none of which shall be
exclusive. Borrower agrees that any requirement of notice to
Borrower of any proposed public or private sale or other disposition of any
Collateral by Lender shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof, if given at
least seven (7) days prior thereto. Lender may purchase all or any
part of the Collateral at a public sale or, if permitted by Applicable
Law, at any private sale, and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase
price, may set off the amount of such price against the outstanding
Obligations. The proceeds realized from any sale or other
disposition of Collateral may be applied first to any Extraordinary
Expenses incurred by Lender, second to interest accrued with respect to any
of the Obligations, and then to the principal balance of the
Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower and each Obligor
shall remain liable to Lender therefor. The failure or delay of
Lender to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of the
Loan Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or
remedies under any of the Loan Documents shall not operate as a waiver
of such performance, liens, rights, powers, and remedies, but all such rights,
Liens, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of
the Obligations have been fully satisfied.
10
SECTION 8. RELEASE
AND INDEMNITY.
8.1 Release.
Borrower
hereby releases Lender and its affiliates and their respective directors,
officers, employees, attorneys and agents and any other Person affiliated with
or representing Lender (the "Released
Parties") from any and all liability arising from acts or omissions under
or pursuant to this Agreement, whether based on errors of judgment or mistake of
law or fact, except for those arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Lender or any of the Released Parties. In no
circumstance will any of the Released Parties be liable for lost profits or
other special or consequential damages. Such release is made on the
date hereof and remade upon each request for an Advance by
Borrower.
8.2 Indemnity
Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify the Released Parties and hold them harmless from and
against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations, actions,
causes of action, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees), of
every nature, character and description, which the Released Parties may sustain
or incur based upon or arising out of any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the other Documents or any of the Obligations or any other
matter, cause or thing whatsoever occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done
by Lender relating to Borrower or the Obligations (except any such amounts
sustained or incurred as the result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Released Parties). Notwithstanding any provision in
this Agreement to the contrary, the indemnity agreement set forth in this
Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9. TERM.
9.1 Effectiveness of
Agreement.
This
Agreement will become effective when executed by Borrower and accepted by Lender
in the State of Georgia (the “Effective Date”), and will continue in effect for
an initial term of three(3) years (the “Initial Term”), and will continue
thereafter automatically renewing for a period of one year (the “Renewal Term”)
unless terminated by either party as set forth in Section 9.2 of this Agreement
or as otherwise provided herein. Unless sooner demanded, all Obligations will
become immediately due and payable, without further notice or demand, upon any
termination of this Agreement.
9.2 Termination.
Borrower
may terminate this Agreement only as of an Anniversary Date and then only by
giving Lender at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination,
whereupon this Agreement shall terminate on said Anniversary
Date. Lender may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving
Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination, provided
Lender may terminate this Agreement immediately without prior notice to Borrower
at any time an Event of Default exists and this Agreement shall be deemed to
have automatically terminated upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding
by Borrower.
9.3 Early Termination
Fee.
If this
Agreement is terminated by Borrower, automatically on the commencement of an
Insolvency Proceeding by Borrower (and whether such termination occurs on an
Anniversary Date or otherwise), or by Lender at any time after the occurrence of
and Event of Default, Lender will be entitled to a termination fee (the "Early Termination
Fee"), as liquidated damages for its loss of the benefit of the bargain
and not as a penalty (the parties acknowledging that the termination fee is a
reasonable calculation of Lender's loss of the benefit of the bargain from any
such
11
termination). The
Early Termination Fee, calculated as follows, shall be due and payable on the
effective date of termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal
to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations:

Anniversary Date but prior to the third Anniversary Date of the Initial
Term, or if a Renewal Term is in effective, if terminated prior to the
Anniversary Date of the then current Renewal
Term.
|
9.4 Effect of
Termination.
No
termination shall affect or impair any right or remedy of Lender or relieve
Borrower of any of the Obligations until all of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full or performed.
