Exhibit 10.2
SECOND AMENDMENT
TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT (this "Amendment") is made March 28, 2002 by and
between GOLDEN EAGLE LEASING, INC., an Arizona corporation ("Borrower"), and
XXXXXXX BANK, a federally chartered savings bank ("Lender").
Background
A. Lender has extended a revolving credit loan in the maximum amount of
$10,000,000 (the "Loan") to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan and
Security Agreement by and between Lender and Borrower dated August 24, 2001 as
amended by a First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement by and between
Lender and Borrower dated September 19, 2001 (collectively, the "Loan
Agreement").
B. The Revolving Credit Loan is evidenced by the revolving credit note
dated August 24, 2001 in the original principal amount of $10,000,000 (the
"Note"). The indebtedness of the Note is secured by Borrower's grant to Lender
of a security interest in the Collateral, as such term is defined in the Loan
Agreement.
C. The Loan has been guaranteed by Hypercom Corporation, the Borrower's
parent corporation, pursuant to that certain guaranty dated as of August 24,
2001 (the "Guaranty" and together with the Loan Agreement, the Note, and all
other documents relating thereto, the "Loan Documents").
D. Borrower has requested that Lender modify the terms of the Loan
Documents to provide for an increase in the Maximum Amount of the Loan from
$10,000,000 to $15,000,000.
E. Lender has agreed to Borrower's request, subject to the terms and
conditions contained in this Amendment.
Agreement
In consideration of the Background, which is incorporated by this
reference, other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is acknowledged, and the mutual promises and covenants contained in this
Amendment, the parties, intending to be bound legally, agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Increase of Maximum Amount.
(a) The Maximum Amount set forth in the Transaction Summary
forming a
part of Recital A of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
Maximum Amount: $15,000,000
(b) Section 1(cb) of the Loan Agreement is amended to read as
follows:
"Maximum Amount" shall mean the maximum amount of credit to be provided
by Lender to or for the benefit of Borrower for aggregate Revolving
Credit Advances outstanding at any time, without regard to the
Borrowing Base or reserves, which amount, for purposes of this
Agreement, is $15,000,000.
3. Amendment of Definition of Borrowing Base.
(a) The Borrowing Base set forth in the Transaction Summary
forming a part of Recital A of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read as
follows:
Borrowing Base: 65% of the net present value of Borrower's Eligible
Lease Receivables for principal balances of up to $10,000,000 and 60%
of the net present value of Borrower's Eligible Lease Receivables for
principal balances in excess of $10,000,000, all is more fully
described in Section 1(i) below.
(b) Section 1(i) of the Loan Agreement is amended to read as
follows:
(i) "Borrowing Base, shall mean at any time an amount equal to the sum
of the Initial Borrowing Base plus the Over $10,000,000 Borrowing Base,
if any. As used herein, "Initial Borrowing Base" shall mean at any time
an amount equal to (i) the sum at such time of sixty-five (65%) percent
of the present value (as determined by Lender) of Borrowers Eligible
Lease Receivables reduced by (ii) the Credit Rating Deficiency Amount,
if any, up to a maximum Initial Borrowing Base of $10,000,000. As used
herein, "Over $10,000,000 Borrowing Base" shall mean at any time an
amount equal to (x) the sum at such time of sixty (60%) percent of the
present value (as determined by Lender) of Borrower's remaining
Eligible Lease Receivables not utilized in the calculation of the
Initial Borrowing Base reduced by (y) the Credit Rating Deficiency
Amount pertaining to such Eligible Lease Receivables, if any. To the
extent that it is necessary for any purpose (including without
limitation, calculation of the Borrowing Base or calculation of the
Credit Rating Deficiency Amount) to allocate Eligible Lease Receivables
between the Initial Borrowing Base and the Over $10,000,000 Borrowing
Base such allocation shall be done by Lender according to the date upon
which such Eligible Lease Receivables become part of the Collateral
with the earlier Eligible Lease Receivables being
-2-
allocated to the Initial Borrowing Base to the extent thereof and any
remaining Eligible Lease Receivables being allocated to the Over
$10,000,000 Borrowing Base, or on such other basis as Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, determines appropriate, provided that no such
change in method of allocation shall serve to reduce the Borrowing Base
as it pertains to any Revolving Loan Advance outstanding at the time of
such change. Additionally, Lender may require that any request for a
Revolving Credit Advance be divided into a request for two separate
Revolving Credit Advances, one within the Initial Borrowing Base and
one within the Over $10,000,000 Borrowing Base, and that the Eligible
Lease Receivables associated with such request be allocated between the
two Revolving Credit Advances in a manner acceptable to Lender in the
exercise of its reasonable discretion. Initially Lender may, but shall
not be required to, determine the present value of Eligible Lease
Receivables by utilizing the Revolving Credit Rate as the discount
rate. However, Lender reserves the right at any time to utilize such
discount rate and such method of determining present value as Lender,
in its sole discretion, determines appropriate.
4. Amendment to Definition of Credit Rating Deficiency Amount. Section
1(ac) of the Loan Agreement is amended to read as follows:
(ac) "Credit Rating Deficiency Amount" when determined for the purpose
of calculating the Initial Borrowing Base shall mean, at any time an
amount equal to the greater of: (a) the amount, if any, by which the
aggregate present value (as determined by Lender) of all Eligible Lease
Receivables utilized in calculating the Initial Borrowing Base at such
time actually owed by Lessees having a Credit Rating of A or B is less
than fifty-five percent (55%) of the total aggregate present value (as
determined by Lender) of all such Eligible Lease Receivables or (b) the
amount, if any, by which the aggregate present value (as determined by
Lender) of all such Eligible Lease Receivables actually owed by Lessees
having a Credit Rating of A, B or C is less than ninety percent (90%)
of the total aggregate present value (as determined by Lender) of all
such Eligible Lease Receivables.
"Credit Rating Deficiency Amount" for the purposes of calculating the
Over $10,000,000 Borrowing Base shall mean, at any time, an amount
equal to the sum of: (x) the amount, if any, by which the aggregate
present value (as determined by Lender) of all Eligible Lease
Receivables utilized in calculating the Over $10,000,000 Borrowing Base
at such time actually owed by Lessees having a Credit Rating of A or B
is less than seventy-five (75%) percent of the total aggregate present
value (as determined by Lender) of all such Eligible Lease Receivables
plus (y) the aggregate present value (as determined by Lender) of all
such Eligible Lease Receivables actually owed by Lessees having a
credit rating other than A,B or C.

5. Replacement Note.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Amendment, Borrower is executing and delivering to Lender a $15,000,000 Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit Note in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto.
(b) Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal
balance of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note and shall repay the
Indebtedness evidenced thereby in accordance with the terms thereof. The
Borrower's obligations under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note are
and shall continue to be secured by the Collateral.

successive 30 day period thereafter (each an "Interest Period"). Each such rate
shall remain in effect for the entire interest period until redetermined for the
next successive interest period; or
(ii) a floating rate per annum (the "Revolving Credit Rate")
equal to the "Prime Rate" as published in the section of the Wall Street Journal

balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum three percentage
points (3.0%) in excess of the otherwise applicable rate. The Lender may collect
a late charge of not greater than five percent (5.0%) of any payment of
principal, interest or other amount due to the Lender which is not paid or
reimbursed by the Borrower within ten (10) days after the due date thereof to
cover the extra expense involved in handling such delinquent payment. Acceptance
by the Lender of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not
