REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.6
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
This Revolving Line of Credit Agreement is made and entered into this 30th day of June, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Vernal Bay Capital Group, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Lender”), and Clyra Medical Technologies, Inc., a California corporation (“Borrower”).
In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Line of Credit. Lender hereby establishes for a period of one (1) year from the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”) a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Line”) for Borrower in the principal amount of One Million dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Credit Limit”) which indebtedness shall be evidenced by and repaid in accordance with the terms of a promissory note for the amount of the Credit Limit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Promissory Note”). All sums advanced on the Credit Line or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each an “Advance”) shall become part of the principal of the Promissory Note. Each Advance may be used solely for the purchase of inventory, or raw materials used by Borrower to manufacture or produce inventory, for sale by Borrower (“Use of Proceeds”).
2. Advances.
a. Lender agrees to make funds available under this Credit Line on the following schedule:
|
i. |
a first Advance of $200,000 on or before July 6, 2020; and |
ii. provided that Borrower has satisfied the Conditions Precedent (as defined in Section 6 below) Borrower may request additional Advances in any amount up to the available Credit Limit (each, a “Request”) by written notice to Lender, which Advances Lender agrees to make within three (3) business days of written request for each Advance.
b. Subject to subparagraph (a) above, Requests may be made from time to time and in such amounts as Borrower may choose, provided, however, any Request will not, when added to the outstanding principal balance of all previous Advances, exceed the Credit Limit. Requests must be made in writing, delivered to the Lender, by such officer of Borrower authorized by it to request such Advances, and include a use of proceeds that identifies with specificity the purpose of the funds (e.g., $10,250 to purchase bottles) consistent with the Use of Proceeds permitted herein. For each valid Request, the Lender shall advance to Borrower’s Account an amount equal to the Advance set forth in the Request within three (3) business days following receipt of a valid Request. The Lender may refuse to make any requested Advance if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder either at the time the request is given or the date the Advance is to be made, or if an event has occurred or condition exists which, with the giving of notice or passing of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder as of such dates.
c. Borrower agrees to receive and hold each Advance in a pre-designated bank account approved by Lender and set aside for such purpose (“Borrower’s Account”).
3. Interest. All sums advanced pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest from the date each Advance is made until paid in full at an interest rate of fifteen percent (15%) simple interest per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest will be calculated on a basis of a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed.
4. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Interest Rate shall immediately increase to the lesser of ten percent (10%) over the Interest Rate set forth in Section 3 above or the highest rate allowable under applicable law, and shall continue at such rate, both before and after judgment, until the Credit Line has been repaid in full and all of Borrower’s other obligations to Lender hereunder have been fully paid and discharged.
5. Interest Payments; Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments on the 10th day of each calendar month equal to all accrued interest for the immediately preceding month. In addition, for the first 180 days after the Effective Date, no later than the 10th day of the month, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of cash received from product sales (“Gross Product Sales”) for the immediately preceding month, and after 180 days, it shall pay sixty percent (60%) of Gross Product Sales for the immediately preceding month, for the purpose of repaying principal, interest, and other amounts due to Lender hereunder. Payment shall be made to the Lender at such place as the Lender may, from time to time, designate in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments received hereunder shall be applied as follows: first, to any late charge; second, to any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in collecting such payment or to any other unpaid charges or expenses due hereunder; third, to accrued interest; fourth, to principal; and fifth, the balance, if any, to such person entitled thereto; provided, however, upon occurrence of an Event of Default, a Lender may, in its discretion, change the priority of the application of payments as it deems appropriate. Subject to the foregoing application of payments, Borrower may prepay principal and/or interest at any time without penalty. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with any unpaid accrued interest and other unpaid charges, fees or other amounts due hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
6. Conditions Precedent. Lender shall not be required to make any Advance hereunder unless and until all of the following have been satisfied as of the date of the Request and the date such Advance is to be made (collectively, the “Conditions Precedent”):
a. All of the documents required by such Lender, including this Agreement, the Promissory Note and Security Agreement (defined in Section 14 below) (collectively, the “Loan Documents”), have been duly executed and delivered to such Lender and shall be in full force and effect, and Borrower has delivered to Lender resolutions of Borrower’s board of directors authorizing the Credit Line pursuant to this Loan Agreement and related documents.
b. Lender has received the Commitment Fee (defined in Section 7 below).
c. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true as of the Effective Date and then true on the date of request and date such Advance is to be made with the same effect as though the representations and warranties had been made at such time. The request for an Advance by Borrower shall constitute a reaffirmation to Lender that all representations and warranties made herein remain true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though given the time such request is made, and that all conditions precedent listed in this Paragraph 5 have been, and continue to be, satisfied in all respects as of the date such request is made.
d. No Event of Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, and no condition exists or event has occurred which, with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
e. Following the first Advance, Borrower has presented Lender copies of written purchase orders (or equivalent evidence of sell-through from consignment distributor FFF Enterprises, Inc., including invoices on delivered product) from “Unaffiliated Purchasers” (defined below) for Borrower’s inventory and outstanding (or unpaid) on the date of the Request but less than 90-days old, the sum total of which is at least equal to greater than (i) one-half of the then existing balance due under the Promissory Note without taking into consideration such Advance, or (ii) $200,000. “Unaffiliated Purchasers” mean any purchaser that (A) does not own or control Borrower, (B) is not owned or controlled by, or under common ownership or control with, Borrower, and (C) does not own and is not owned or controlled by, or under common ownership with, a “Controlling Party” (defined below). As used herein, ownership or control means the ownership of 25% or more of the profit or voting interest of an entity or the power to direct the management of an entity through employment, contract, ownership, fiduciary position or otherwise. “Controlling Party” means a person or entity that has the power to direct the management of Borrower through employment, contract, ownership, fiduciary position or otherwise, including without limitation all of the officers and directors and beneficial owners, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting interests of Borrower, or any family member of such person, including spouse and any parent, sibling, or lineal descendant of such person or such person’s spouse.
7. Commitment Fee. In consideration of Lender extending the Credit Line to Borrower, Borrower agrees to issue to Lender three hundred twenty-three (323) fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Borrower’s common stock (the “Stock”), which Borrower and Lender agree have a value of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Commitment Fee”), by delivery of one or more duly authorized original share certificates in the name of Lender prior to the first Advance.
8. Accounting. Upon request by Lender, Borrower shall provide to Lender bank statements, invoices, and other documentation necessary to evidence the Use of Proceeds of all Advances, including without limitation monthly bank statements for, and evidence of the current balance in, Borrower’s Account and all recent credits and withdraws therefrom.
9. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the advances provided for herein, Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders as follows:

f. Borrower’s entry into this Agreement and performance of its obligations hereunder does not contravene or constitute a breach of any agreement binding on Borrower or the Inventory, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms
10. Affirmative Covenants. So long as any sum remains unpaid hereunder, in whole or in part, Borrower covenants and agrees that except with the prior written consent of the Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, it shall do the following:

13. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as defined above, the Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together with accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind. Lender may suspend or terminate any obligation it may have hereunder to make additional Advances. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower waives any rights to presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided at law or in equity. Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection incurred by reason of the default, including court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, whether or not the attorney is a salaried employee of Lender, including such expenses incurred before or after any legal action or Bankruptcy proceeding involving Borrower has commenced, during the pendency of such proceedings, and continuing to all such expenses in connection with any appeal to higher courts arising out of matters associated herewith.
14. Collateral; Security. As security for all obligations of Borrower to Lender, this Credit Line and the Promissory Note shall be secured by the inventory held for sale by the Borrower pursuant to a separate Security Agreement on the terms and conditions and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Security Agreement”).
15. General Provisions. All representations and warranties made in this Agreement and the Promissory Note shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any loans hereunder.

This Agreement and all documents and instruments associated herewith will be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Time is of the essence hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except in writing signed by the parties.
