Lamé Living Trust, Welwyn Management Company and Brahma Finance (BVI) Limited (collectively, the “Lenders”).
1. Commitments to Lend.
During the Commitment Period each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, to make Advances to the Borrower from time to time in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Advances by such Lender at any one time outstanding does not exceed the amount of its Commitment. Each Advance under this Agreement shall be made ratably from the several Lenders in proportion to their Commitments. The Borrower may, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, borrow, repay and reborrow at any time during the Commitment Period.
2. Borrowing Procedures.
The Borrower shall give the Lenders notice not later than 10:00 AM on the date of each Advance specifying the date of such Advance, which shall be a Business Day, and the aggregate amount of such Advance. Each requested Advance shall be made available to the Borrower by drawing on the Lenders’ deposit account maintained at a bank or other financial institution to be designated by the Lenders. Each Advance shall be made pursuant to procedures and timing agreed to between the Borrower and such bank, and shall be subject to dual signature control as follows:
One Signature from the Borrower: Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, CFO or Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, President & COO; and
One signature from specified directors of the Borrower: Xxxxxxx Lamé, Chairman of the Board or Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Director.
The Borrower shall not request any Advance if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if an event has occurred, which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.
3. Purpose.
The purpose and sole use of the Line of Credit shall be to satisfy the Borrower’s bi-weekly payroll. Proceeds from Advances will only be deposited into the Borrower’s primary payroll account and will not be used for any other purpose.
4. Cleandown and Maturity.
(a) Advances must be repaid from time to time such that the Line of Credit must be fully repaid with no amount outstanding for 8 consecutive Business Days in any 23 consecutive Business Day period.
(b) All Advances must be repaid in full on or before the Maturity Date. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances shall not at any time exceed the Maximum Amount. The Borrower shall make an immediate prepayment in the event that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances shall at any time exceed the Maximum Amount.
5. Interest and Fees.
The Borrower shall pay to each Lender:
(a) as commitment fees, an amount equal to five-twelfths of one percent (5/12%) per calendar month or part thereof of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, minus such Lender’s pro rata share of any amounts earned on any amounts on deposit in the account referred to in Section 2 above; provided that such commitment fee shall not thereby be reduced to less than zero;
(b) as interest, an amount equal to five-twelfths of one percent (5/12%) per calendar month of the principal amount of Advances outstanding from time to time, based on the actual number of days during which such Advances were outstanding; and
(c) as additional interest, an amount equal to two-twelfths of one percent (2/12%) per calendar month of the principal amount of Advances outstanding, for such number of days as the provisions of Section 4(a) are not satisfied.
All amounts of commitment fees, interest and additional interest shall be paid in full on a monthly basis, in arrears, no later than the earlier of (i) the fifth Business Day following the end of the month during which such amounts accrued and (ii) the Maturity Date. Any overdue principal, interest or other amounts payable hereunder shall bear interest, payable on demand, equal to an additional five percent (5%) of the amount payable. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest and other amounts payable hereunder.
6. Notes.
Prior to any Advances being made, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each of the Lenders a Note for the principal amount of such Advances. Each Note shall serve as a master note to evidence all Advances made to such Lender. Lender shall record (a) the principal amount of each Advance and the interest rate applicable thereto, and (b) the amount of any principal, interest or other payment and the applicable dates with respect thereto, by such method as such Lender may generally employ; provided that failure to make any such entry shall in no
2
way detract from Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under the Notes. The aforesaid information with respect to the Advances set forth on the records of each Lender shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal, interest and other amounts owing and unpaid on such Note.
7. Guaranties and Security.
This Agreement and each Note are entitled to the ratable and pari passu benefit of that certain Guarantee and Amended and Restated Security Agreement referred to in the Senior Notes Agreement granted by the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined therein) in favor of the Noteholders identified therein, pursuant to which the Borrower and such Subsidiary Guarantors have guarantied the Borrower’s obligations thereunder and pursuant to which the Noteholders identified therein have been granted a security interest in certain collateral. This Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such Guarantee and Amended and Restated Security Agreement.
8. Conversion Right.

9. Events of Default; Remedies.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, at the option of any Lender (but automatically with respect to any Event of Default resulting from the insolvency or bankruptcy of Borrower), all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, any Lender may terminate the Line of Credit and no further Advances may be requested by the Borrower. In addition, each Lender may apply or setoff any amounts owed by it to the Borrower against all Obligations, all without any notice to or demand upon the Borrower, in addition to any other rights and remedies such Lender may have pursuant to law or equity, this Agreement, any Note and any other instruments or agreements, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
