AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT
This Agreement dated as of October 6, 2005, is between BERJAYA GROUP (CAYMAN) LIMITED, a Cayman
Islands corporation (the “Lender”), and ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC., a Florida corporation (the
“Borrower”). The Borrower’s obligation to repay any line of credit loan described in this
Agreement is contained in that certain Amended and Restated Line of Credit Promissory Note in the
principal amount of Three Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,250,000.00) of
even date herewith and any additional promissory notes now or hereafter executed and delivered by
the Borrower to the Lender and any renewals, modifications, restatements, amendments and extensions
thereof (collectively, the “Note”), which is expressly NOT incorporated herein pursuant to Section
201.08(6), Florida Statues and Rules 12B-4.052(6)(b) and (12)(g), Florida Administrative Code.
This Agreement amends and restates, but does not satisfy, discharge or repay, or constitute a
novation of, the Loan Agreement dated as of August 10, 2005 between the parties hereto (the
“Original Loan Agreement”) or any Loans heretofore made under the Original Loan Agreement or any
Collateral which secures such Loans. The Original Loan Agreement is completely superseded by and
replaced with this Agreement.
1. | LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS | |
1.1 | Line of Credit Amount. | |
(a) | During the availability period described below, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined), the Lender will provide a line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit is Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the “New Line of Credit”), in addition to the previously funded line of credit amount of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) provided in the Original Loan Agreement, resulting in a total line of credit of Three Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($3,250,000.00) (the “Commitment”). | |
(b) | This is a non-revolving line of credit. Any amount borrowed, even if repaid before the expiration date of the New Line of Credit, permanently reduces the remaining available New Line of Credit. Each amount borrowed hereunder (inclusive of amounts previously borrowed under the Original Loan Agreement) shall be referred to herein as a “Loan” and all amounts so borrowed shall be referred to collectively as “Loans”. | |
(c) | The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance of all Loans outstanding at any time to exceed the Commitment. | |
1.2 | Availability Period. |
The New Line of Credit will be made available on and after the dates in the following schedule and
prior to March 31, 2006 (the “Commitment Expiration Date”):
(a) | Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) will be made available on and after October 6,2005; |
(b) | Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) will be made available on and after October 15, 2005; and |
(c) | Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) will be made available on and after October 25, 2005. | |
1.3 | Repayment Terms. |
(a) | Interest accrued on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable on the Commitment Expiration Date or earlier as provided in Section 7 hereof. All interest payments shall be made without reduction for any United States withholding tax that may be applicable thereto, with the Borrower being solely responsible for paying all such taxes on behalf of the Lender. |
(b) | The Borrower may prepay any and all Loans in full or in part at any time. The prepayment will reduce the amount of the Line of Credit and no longer be available for borrowing under this Agreement. |
1.4 | Mandatory Prepayment in Certain Events. |
(a) Immediately upon receipt of the net cash proceeds of each advance purchase of credits for
food, beverage, goods and/or services (each, a “Credit Sale Transaction”), the Borrower agrees to
make a principal prepayment equal to the net proceeds so received. As used herein, “net proceeds”
of any such Credit Sale Transaction means the actual cash proceeds received and collected by the
Borrower reduced solely by the direct out of pocket expenses actually incurred, or reasonably
anticipated to be incurred, by the Borrower in connection therewith.
(b) Immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of the net cash proceeds of any casualty
insurance recoveries relating the Borrower’s restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi, the Borrower agrees
to make a principal prepayment of the Loans equal to the entire net proceeds so received.
(c) Without limiting the application of any other provision of this Agreement which
accelerates the Commitment Expiration Date, upon the closing of any Sale Transaction (as defined in
Section 7.12 hereof), all Loans then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable and the
Commitment shall forthwith terminate.
(d) Each prepayment required under this Section and under Section 4 hereof shall be applied by
the Lender to the Loans in the direct order of their advance to the Borrower, so that the first
Loan or Loans made shall be the first Loan(s) prepaid, with such application being first to all
interest accrued and unpaid on such Loan(s) and the balance to the principal thereof. Such
2
prepayment of principal will reduce the amount of the Line of Credit and no longer be available for
borrowing under this Agreement.
1.5 | Interest Rate; Limitation. |
The interest rate on all Loans is Ten Percent (10%) per annum. Notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Agreement, the Lender does not intend to charge, and the Borrower shall not be
required to pay, any amount of interest or other charges that is in excess of the maximum permitted
by applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Borrower or
credited against principal, at the option of the Lender. It is the express intent hereof that the
Borrower not pay and the Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that
which may be lawfully paid under applicable law including the usury laws in force in the State of
Florida. Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that the Stock Warrant Certificate dated as of the
date hereof and the warrant to purchase common stock of the Borrower thereunder (collectively, the
"Warrant”) and any value the Warrant has on the date hereof or at any time in the future are not
intended by the parties hereto as a substitute for interest, or as additional interest, on the
Loans but is intended as a “stock option” within the meaning of Florida Statutes section 687.03(4).
The Borrower further recognizes and acknowledges that the Commitment, the Loans and the proceeds
thereof are essential to provide necessary liquidity for the Borrower’s operations and to preserve
its business and goodwill.
1.6 | Expenses. |
The Borrower agrees to immediately reimburse the Lender for expenses incurred by the Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
filing, recording and search fees.
1.7 | Reimbursement Costs. |
The Borrower agrees to immediately reimburse the Lender for any costs and expenses it incurs in the
preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses
include, but are not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Lender’s outside
legal counsel, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, P.A. Such fees and
disbursements may be paid directly to such counsel by the Borrower.
2. | COLLATERAL |
All personal property (including rights as tenants under real property lease) owned by the Borrower
or in which the Borrower has rights, now owned or held or owned or acquired in the future by the
Borrower, and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”), including without limitation
Borrower’s interest in certain real and personal property located in Columbia, South Carolina and
in, to and under any and all existing and future agreements relating to the sale of all or any part
of the property in Columbia, South Carolina, will secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined). The Collateral is
further defined in the Security Agreement executed by the Borrower in connection herewith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the Borrower sells its restaurant in
3
Columbia, South Carolina, the Lender shall release its security interest in any Collateral located
at such restaurant which is included in such sale, provided, however, that as a condition of
obtaining such release, the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loans from the net proceeds
(after all previously incurred and reasonably anticipated costs and expenses) of such sale. Such
prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding Loans as provided in Section 1.4(d) hereof.
3. | DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS | |
3.1 | Disbursements and Payments. | |
(a) | Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds. |
(b) | Each disbursement by the Lender and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Lender. | |
3.2 | Telephone and Telefax Authorization. |
(a) | The Lender may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers. |
(b) | Advances will be deposited in the Borrower’s bank deposit account identified in a writing separately delivered to the Lender simultaneously with the Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, or such other of Borrower’s accounts at other banks as shall be designated in writing by the Borrower to the Lender from time to time hereafter. |
(c) | The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions which the Lender reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement, and will benefit the Lender and its officers, employees, agents and legal counsel. | |
3.3 | Business Days. |
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a “Business Day” is a day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in
the State of Florida. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day that is not a
Business Day will be due on the next Business Day.
3.4 Interest Calculation.
Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
4
3.5 | Default Rate. |
Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on
any obligation under this Agreement or the Note, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and
the Note, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of
the Lender bear interest at a rate of Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum. This may result in
compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.

must receive any documents and other items it may reasonably require, in form and content
acceptable to the Lender, including the items specifically listed below.

Loan Document, instrument or document ceases to be valid, binding and enforceable against the
Borrower.
7.11 Other Breach Under Agreement.
