(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Bank agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers on the Closing Date in the principal amount of One Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,400,000). Upon repayment of any principal amount of the Term Loan, the Borrowers may not re-borrow such amount under the Term Loan.

ARTICLE III

INTEREST RATE; FEES AND PAYMENTS; USE OF PROCEEDS

Section 3.1 Term Loan Interest Rates.

(a) Base Interest Rates. The Term Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a floating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus one and one-half (1.50%) percent, which interest rate shall be adjusted each time the Prime Rate changes.

(b) Default Interest Rates. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the outstanding principal amount of each Term Loan, shall, at the option of the Bank, bear interest payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate set forth under Section 3.1(a) for the Term Loan plus twelve (12.00%) percent.

(c) Late Charges. A late charge equal to five (5.00%) percent shall be imposed on each and every payment required hereunder that is not received by Bank within ten (10) days after it is due. The late charge is not a penalty, but liquidated damages to defray administrative and related expenses due to such late payment. The late charge shall be immediately due and payable and shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Bank upon demand. This provision for late charge is not and shall not be deemed a grace period, and Bank has no obligation to accept a late payment, provided, however, that the acceptance of a late payment shall constitute a waiver of any Event of Default otherwise caused by such late payment.

(d) Maximum Allowable Interest Rates. Anything in this Agreement or the Term Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrowers to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be paid to the Bank to the extent that the charging or receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to the Bank limiting the rates of interest that may be charged or collected by the Bank. In each such event payments of interest required to be paid to the Bank shall be calculated at the highest rate permitted by applicable law until such time as the rates of interest required hereunder may lawfully be charged and collected by the Bank. If the provisions of this Agreement or the Term Note would at any time otherwise require payment by the Borrowers to the Bank of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, the interest payments to the Bank shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that the Bank shall not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount.

(e) Interest Rate Calculations. Interest shall be calculated on the basis year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual days elapsed. Each determination by the Bank of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 3.2 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used by the Borrowers for acquisitions and for general working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business.

Section 3.3 Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers may prepay from time to time any amount then outstanding under the Term Loan, in whole or in part, without penalty, upon irrevocable written notice to the Bank, specifying the date and amount of repayment. If such notice is given, the Borrowers shall make such repayment and the repayment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount repaid to the Bank.

(b) The Term Loan is subject to semi-annual cashflow recapture, beginning on June 30, 2019, and continuing each December 31^st and June 30^th thereafter, in the amount of fifty (50%) percent of the amount by which Borrowers’ consolidated CADS for the measurement period exceeds the lowest amount necessary to maintain compliance with the minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 7.14.

(c) The Borrowers shall have Forty-Five (45) days from the Closing Date to provide the Bank with fully executed Landlord Waivers, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Bank, with respect to the following properties: Shoppes of Xxxx Xxx, Xxxx 000, Xxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxx; 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000-000, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000; and 0000 X.

Should the foregoing Landlord Waivers be delivered to the Bank within said Forty-Five (45) day period, the block will be promptly released. Should the foregoing Landlord Waivers not be delivered to the Bank within said Forty-Five (45) day period, the Bank will apply the Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) of blocked funds as a prepayment of principal on the Term Loan.

(d) Each prepayment of principal of the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

Section 3.4 Facility Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the Bank a nonrefundable Term Loan facility fee in the amount of Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000) on or before the Closing Date.

Section 3.5 Other Events.

(a) In the event that any introduction of or change in, on or after the date hereof, any applicable law, regulation, treaty, order, directive or in the interpretation or application thereof (including, without limitation, any request, guideline or policy, whether or not having the force of law, of or from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, agency or instrumentality and including, without limitation, Regulation D), by any authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall occur, which:

(i) shall subject the Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Term Note, the Term Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder (other than any tax that is measured with respect to the overall net income of the Bank or lending office of the Bank and that is imposed by the United States of America, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any jurisdiction in which the Bank’s lending office is located, or by any jurisdiction in which the Bank is organized, has its principal office or is managed and controlled); or

(b) A certificate of the Bank setting forth the basis and calculation of any such determination, and the amount or amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.5(a) above, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 3.6 Taxes. Except as required by law, all payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding income and franchise taxes imposed on the Bank by (i) the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (ii) the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Bank is organized or in which it has its principal office or is managed and controlled or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (iii) any jurisdiction in which the Bank’s lending office is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (such non-excluded taxes being called “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Bank hereunder, or under the Term Note, the amount so payable to the Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Bank (after payment of all Taxes and free and clear of all liability in respect of such Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Term Note. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrowers, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrowers shall send to the Bank a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fail to remit to the Bank the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Bank for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of any such failure together with any actual expenses payable by the Bank in connection therewith.

If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
