REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
This
Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into in
this 29th day of February 2008, by and between Sands Brothers Venture Capital
III, LLC ("LENDER"), and XA, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, with a business address
of 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000 (the
"BORROWER") and The Experiential Agency, Inc., an Illinois corporation, with a
business address of 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx,
00000 (the “SUBSIDIARY”) each a “PARTY” and collectively the
“PARTIES.”
In
consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, which the
Parties each acknowledge receipt of, the Parties agree as follows:
1. LINE OF CREDIT. Lender hereby
establishes for a period extending to June 29, 2008 (the "MATURITY DATE") a
revolving line of credit (the "CREDIT LINE") for Borrower in the principal
amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) (the "CREDIT LIMIT"). In
connection herewith, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Promissory
Note in the initial amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the
“INITIAL ADVANCE,” and the “NOTE,” a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A), which
amount shall be payable to Borrower immediately upon the Parties entry into this
Agreement. Any additional funds advanced by Lender to Borrower from
time to time, pursuant the terms of this Agreement (each an “ADVANCE”) shall be
evidenced by a Promissory Note, substantially similar to the Note (the “FURTHER
NOTES”).
2. ADVANCES. Any request for an
Advance may be made from time to time and in such amounts as Borrower may
choose; provided, however, any requested Advance will not, when added to the
outstanding principal balance of all previous Advances, exceed the Credit Limit.
Requests for Advances may be made orally or in writing by such officer of
Borrower authorized by it to request such Advances. Until such time as Lender
may be notified otherwise, Borrower hereby authorizes its President, Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx and its Chief Operating Officer, Xxxx Xxxxxx, to request Advances. Lender
may deposit or credit the amount of any requested Advance to Borrower's checking
account with Lender. Lender may refuse to make any requested Advance if an
Acceleration Event and/or an Event of Default (as defined below) 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. The funds from the
Advances will be used by the Borrower for operating expenses in connection with
the operations of the Subsidiary, and will be immediately transferred to the
Subsidiary as a capital contribution, which expenses are set forth in greater
detail on Schedule
1.
3. INTEREST. All sums advanced
pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest from the date each Advance is
made until paid in full at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, simple
interest (the "EFFECTIVE RATE"), as provided in further detail in the Note,
provided however, that in the event any payment is not made within three (3)
days of the date such payment is due under the Note or any Further Notes, all
outstanding notes shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per
annum and such failure to pay the required payment shall be characterized as an
Acceleration Event as such term is defined in the Note and Further
Notes.
4. REPAYMENT. Borrower shall pay
accrued interest on the outstanding principal balance on a monthly basis
commencing on April 1, 2008, and continuing on the first day of each month
thereafter. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with any accrued
interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder, shall be due and payable on
the Maturity Date as defined in the Note. All payments shall be made to Lender
at such place as Lender may, from time to time, designate. All payments received
hereunder shall be applied, first, to any costs or expenses incurred by Lender
in collecting such payment or to any other unpaid charges or expenses due
hereunder; second, to accrued interest; and third, to principal. Borrower may
prepay the principal amount of the Note at any time without
penalty.

accrued interest thereon, to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, as described in further detail in
the Note. Lender may suspend or terminate any obligation it may have hereunder

PROMISSORY
NOTE
US
$100,000
|
February
29, 2008
|
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned, XA, Inc. ("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to the order of Sands
Brothers Venture Capital III, LLC ("Payee"), the principal sum of One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), in lawful money in United States of America, which
shall be legal tender, bearing interest and payable as provided
herein. This Note is entered into in connection with and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the Revolving Line of Credit Agreement,
which this Note is attached to as Exhibit A, thereto (the “Line of
Credit”).
1.
|
Interest
on the unpaid balance of this Note shall bear interest at the rate of
Twelve Percent (12%) per annum, which interest shall accrue from the
effective date until the Maturity Date (as defined below), unless prepaid
prior to such Maturity Date. All past-due principal and interest (which
failure to pay such amounts shall be defined herein as an “Acceleration
Event”) shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum
until paid in full. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year.
|
2.
|
The
principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable on June 29, 2008
(the “Maturity Date”).
|
3.
|
This
Note may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time and from time to
time, without premium or penalty. If any amount of this Note is
not paid when due under this Note, or otherwise cured as provided in the
Line of Credit, or if any Acceleration Event as defined under the Line of
Credit shall occur, such event shall be an Acceleration Event under this
Note. Upon an Acceleration Event, the Payee shall have the
right to provide for the entire amount of unpaid principal and interest on
this Note to be immediately due and payable, by providing the Maker
fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Payee’s desire to make the
entire outstanding amount of principal and interest due on this Note
immediately payable, which Note shall then be payable by the Maker after
the expiration of the fifteenth (15th)
day following the receipt of such notice by the Maker (an “Event of
Default”).
|
4.
|
If
any payment of principal or interest on this Note shall become due on a
Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banks are not open for
business, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day.
This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Payee
named herein and Payee’s respective successors and
assigns. Each holder of this Note, by accepting the same,
agrees to and shall be bound by all of the provisions of this
Note. Payee may
assign this Note or any of its rights, interests or obligations to this
Note without the prior written approval of
Maker.
|
|
5.
|
No
provision of this Note shall alter or impair the obligation of Maker to
pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, places and
rates, and in the coin or currency, herein
prescribed.
|
|
6.
|
The
Maker will do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and affect its corporate existence, rights
and franchises and comply with all laws applicable to the Maker, except
where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Maker. Failure to comply with this
provision shall constitute an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Note or any other agreement entered into in
connection herewith, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether
written or oral, it is agreed that the aggregate of all interest and any
other charges constituting interest, or adjudicated as constituting
interest, and contracted for, chargeable or receivable under this Note or
otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, shall under no
circumstances exceed the Maximum Rate (as defined
below).
|
7.
|
In
the event the maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an Event
of Default under this Note, any other agreement entered into in connection
herewith or therewith, or by voluntary prepayment by Maker or otherwise,
then earned interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate
allowable by law, computed from the dates of each advance of the loan
proceeds outstanding until payment. If from any circumstance
any holder of this Note shall ever receive interest or any other charges
constituting interest, or adjudicated as constituting interest, the
amount, if any, which would exceed the Maximum Rate shall be applied to
the reduction of the principal amount owing on this Note, and not to the
payment of interest; or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of principal hereof, the amount of such excessive interest that
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal hereof shall be refunded to
Maker. In determining whether or not the interest paid or
payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, to the extent permitted by applicable
law (i) any nonprincipal payment shall be characterized as an expense, fee
or premium rather than as interest; and (ii) all interest at any time
contracted for, charged, received or preserved in connection herewith
shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts during
the period of the full stated term of this Note. The term
"Maximum Rate" shall mean the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable federal or state law.
|
8.
|
Except
as provided herein, Maker and any sureties, guarantors and endorsers of
this Note jointly and severally waive demand, presentment, notice of
nonpayment or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of
acceleration, diligence in collecting, grace, notice and protest, and
consent to all extensions without notice for any period or periods of time
and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to the
holder. The holder shall similarly have the right to deal in
any way, at any time, with one or more of the foregoing parties without
notice to any other party, and to grant any such party any extensions of
time for payment of any of said indebtedness, or to grant any other
indulgences or forbearance whatsoever, without notice to any other party
and without in any way affecting the personal liability of any party
hereunder. If any efforts are made to collect or enforce this
Note or any installment due hereunder, the undersigned agrees to pay all
collection costs and fees, including reasonable attorney's
fees.
|
9.
|
A
copy of this Promissory Note signed by one party and faxed to another
party shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered by the signing
party as though an original. A photocopy of this Promissory
Note shall be effective as an original for all
purposes.
|
10.
|
This
Note shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of laws
principles thereof. The parties hereto hereby agree that any suit or
proceeding arising directly and/or indirectly pursuant to or under this
instrument or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
shall be brought solely in a federal or state court located in the
Southern District of New York. By its execution hereof, the parties hereby
covenant and irrevocably submit to the in personam jurisdiction of the
federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York
and agrees that any process in any such action may be served upon any of
them personally, or by certified mail or registered mail upon them or
their agent, return receipt requested, with the same full force and effect
as if personally served upon them in New York City. The parties hereto
waive any claim that any such jurisdiction is not a convenient forum for
any such suit or proceeding and any defense or lack of in personam
jurisdiction with respect thereto. In the event of any such action or
proceeding, the party prevailing therein shall be entitled to payment from
the other party hereto of its reasonable and documented counsel fees and
disbursements in an amount judicially
determined.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has
duly executed this Note as of the day and year first written above.
