On December 1, 2005, Natrol, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of City National Bank, a national banking association (“CNB”), at its office in this city, in United States Dollars and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Three Million and 00/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (“Revolving Credit Commitment”), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement at a rate computed on a basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed, equal to the “Prime Rate” of CNB, as it exists from time to time, plus Three Quarters of One percent (0.75%) per year. “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate most recently announced by CNB at its principal office in Beverly Hills, California, as its “Prime Rate.” Any change in the Prime Rate shall become effective on the same business day on which the Prime Rate shall change, without prior notice to Borrower.
As provided herein, the principal of this Note may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time prior to maturity, provided at the time of any borrowing no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists, and provided further that the total borrowings outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment or (ii) sixty percent (60%) of the total Eligible Accounts Receivable owing to Borrower from time to time (“Borrowing Base”). Each borrowing and repayment hereunder shall be noted in the books and records of CNB. The excess of borrowings over repayments shall evidence the principal balance due hereon from time to time and at any time. Borrowings hereunder shall be presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower when made as noted in such books and records.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, Borrower shall, immediately upon demand, repay the amount by which the outstanding principal balance of this Note exceeds the Borrowing Base. The portion of the outstanding principal balance exceeding the Borrowing Base will bear additional interest of three percent (3.00%) per year over the rate set forth in the first paragraph above.
Interest accruing on this Note shall be payable on the 1st day of each month, commencing January 1, 2005.
Borrower shall pay to CNB a late charge of 5% or $10.00, whichever is greater, of any payment not received by CNB on or before the 10th day after the payment is due.
Eligible Accounts Receivable shall mean those accounts receivable owed to Borrower:
A. Upon which Xxxxxxxx’s right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever;
B. Against which is asserted no defense, counterclaim, discount or setoff, whether well-founded or otherwise;
C. That is a true and correct statement of a bona fide indebtedness incurred in the amount of the accounts receivable for goods sold or leased and delivered to, or for services rendered to and accepted by, the account debtor;
D. That is owned by Borrower free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, charges, interests, and rights of others, except security interests granted to CNB;
E. That does not arise from a sale or lease to or for services rendered to any employee, stockholder, director, Subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower or any entity in which any employee, stockholder, director, Subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower has any interest;
1
F. That is not the obligation of an account debtor that is the federal government unless perfected under the Assignment of Claims Act;
G. That is not the obligation of an account debtor located in a foreign country;
H. That is due and payable not more than thirty (30) days from the date of the billing therefor unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CNB;
I. As to which not more than ninety (90) days have elapsed since the original invoice date;
J. As to which the account debtor has not:
(i) died, suspended business, made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, become the subject of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or consented to or applied for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator for itself or any of its property;
(ii) become more than sixty (60) days past due, under the original terms of sale, with respect to twenty percent (20%) or more of the amounts owed by such account debtor to Borrower;
(iii) had its check in payment of an accounts receivable returned unpaid; or
(iv) become or appear to have become unable, in the opinion of CNB, to pay the account receivable in accordance with its terms; and
K. That does not, when added to all other accounts receivable that are obligations of the account debtor to Borrower, at any time result in a total sum that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the total balance then due on all accounts receivable.
The occurrence of any of the following with respect to any Borrower or guarantor of this Note or any general partner of such Borrower or guarantor, shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:
1. Failure to make any payment of principal or interest when due under this Note;
2. Filing of a petition by or against any of such parties under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code;
3. Appointment of a receiver or an assignee for the benefit of creditors;
4. Commencement of dissolution or liquidation proceedings or the disqualification (under any applicable law or regulation) of any of such parties which is a corporation, partnership, joint venture or any other type of entity;
5. Death or incapacity of any of such parties which is an individual;
6. Revocation of any guaranty of this Note, or any guaranty of this Note becomes unenforceable as to any future advances under this Note;
7. Any financial statement provided by any of such parties to CNB is false or materially misleading;
8. Any material default in the payment or performance of any obligation, or any default under any provision of any contract or instrument pursuant to which any of such parties has incurred any obligation for borrowed money, any purchase obligation or any other liability of any kind to any person or entity, including CNB;
9. Any sale or transfer of all or a substantial part of the assets of any of such parties other than in the ordinary course of business; or
10. Any violation, breach or default under this Note, any letter agreement, guaranty, security agreement, deed of trust, subordination agreement or any other contract or instrument executed in connection with this Note or securing this Note.
2
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, CNB, at its option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of dishonor all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and CNB shall have no obligation to make any further advances hereunder. Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which counsel may be CNB employees), expended or incurred by CNB (or allocable to CNB’s in-house counsel) in connection with the enforcement of this Note or the collection of any sums due hereunder and irrespective of whether suit is filed. Any principal or interest not paid when due hereunder shall thereafter bear additional interest from its due date at a rate of five percent (5.0%) per year higher than the interest rate as determined and computed above, and continuing thereafter until paid.
Should more than one person or entity execute this Note as Borrower, the liability and obligations of each Borrower shall be joint and several.
This Note and all matters relating thereto, shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
