or for
the amount of the remaining Commitment, if
less.
|
(c)
|
The
Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding
to exceed

|
2.
|
OPTIONAL
INTEREST RATES
|
2.1 | Optional Rates. |
Each
optional interest rate is a rate per year. No Portion will be converted to
a
different interest rate during the applicable interest period. Upon the
occurrence of an event of default under this Agreement, the Bank may terminate
the availability of optional interest rates for interest periods commencing
after the default occurs. At the end of any interest period, the interest
rate
will revert to the rate stated in the paragraph(s) entitled "Interest Rate"
above, unless the Borrower has designated another optional interest rate
for the
Portion.
2.2 |
LIBOR
Rate.
|
The
election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and
requirements:
(a)
|
The
interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will
be one,
two, three, or six months. The first day of the interest period
must be a
day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for
business
in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a "LIBOR
Banking
Day"). The last day of the interest period and the actual number
of days
during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using
the
practices of the London inter-bank
market.
|
(b)
|
Each
LIBOR Rate Portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
|
(d)
|
The
"LIBOR Rate" means the interest rate determined by the following
formula.
(All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank
as of the
first day of the interest period.)
|
LIBOR
Rate = London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(1.00
-
Reserve Percentage)
Where,
4
(i)
|
"London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate" means the interest rate at which the Bank
of
America's London Banking Center, London, Great Britain, would offer
U.S.
dollar deposits for the applicable interest period to other major
banks in
the London inter-bank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London
time two
(2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest
period. A
"London Banking Day" is a day on which banks in London are open
for
business and dealing in offshore
dollars.
|
(ii)
|
"Reserve
Percentage" means the total of the maximum reserve percentages
for
determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the
Federal
Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal
Reserve
Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one
percent.
The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include,
but not
be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and
other
reserve percentages.
|
(e)
|
The
Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later
than
12:00 noon Pacific time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the
day on
which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified
above.
For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days
in any
of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three
days
before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.
|
(f)
|
The
Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR
Rate
Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and
is
continuing:
|
(i)
|
Dollar
deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the
interest
period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London
inter-bank
market; or
|
(ii)
|
the
LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate
Portion.
|
(g)
|
Each
prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason
of
acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of
accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described
below. A
"prepayment" is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the
scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.
The
Borrower shall provide the Bank with notice not less than three
(3)
business days prior to any voluntary
prepayment.
|
(h)
|
The
prepayment fee shall be in an amount sufficient to compensate the
Bank for
any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of the prepayment,
including any loss of anticipated profits
and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment
of
funds obtained by it to maintain such Portion or from fees payable
to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged
by
the Bank in connection with the foregoing. For
purposes of this paragraph, the
Bank
shall be deemed to have funded each Portion by a matching deposit
or other
borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not such
Portion
was in fact so funded.
|
3.
|
FEES
AND EXPENSES
|
3.1 |
Fees.
|
(a)
|
Upfront
Fee.
The Borrower agrees to pay a loan fee in the amount of Thirty-Nine
Thousand Dollars ($39,000). This fee is due on the date of this
Agreement.
|
(b)
|
Unused
Commitment Fee.
The Borrower agrees to pay a fee on any difference between the

DISBURSEMENTS,
PAYMENTS AND COSTS
|
5.1 |
Disbursements
and Payments.
|
(a)
|
Each
payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately
available funds by direct debit to a deposit account as specified
below
or, for payments not required to be made by direct debit, by mail
to the
address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking
centers in the United States.
|
(b)
|
Each
disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will
be
evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may,
at its
discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory
notes.
|
5.2 |
Telephone
and Telefax Authorization.
|
(a)
|
The
Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or
repayments or for the designation of optional interest rates and
telefax
requests for the issuance of letters of credit given, or purported
to be
given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements
on
behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any
one of
such authorized signers.
|
(b)
|
Advances
will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from Account
Number
005011455636 owned by the Borrower, or such other of the Borrower’s
accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the
Borrower.
|
7
5.3 |
Direct
Debit (Pre-Billing).
|
(a)
|
The
Borrower agrees that the Bank will debit deposit Account Number
005011455652 owned by the Borrower, or such other of the Borrower’s
accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower
(the
"Designated Account") on the date each payment of principal and
interest
and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the "Due
Date").
|
(b)
|
Prior
to each Due Date, the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement
of the
amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the "Billed Amount").
The xxxx
will be mailed ten
(10) days prior to the Due Date. The
calculations in the xxxx will be made on the assumption that no
new
extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date
of the
billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes
in
the applicable interest rate.
|
(c)
|
The
Bank will debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless
of the actual amount due on that date (the "Accrued Amount"). If
the
Billed Amount debited to the Designated Account differs from the
Accrued
Amount, the discrepancy will be treated as
follows:
|
(i)
|
If
the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount
for
the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy.
The Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such
discrepancy.
|
(ii)
|
If
the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount
for
the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the
discrepancy.
|
Regardless
of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based
on the
actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The
Bank will
not pay the Borrower interest on any
overpayment.
|
(d)
|
The
Borrower will maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account
to cover
each debit. If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account
on
the date the Bank enters any debit authorized by this Agreement,
the Bank
may reverse the debit or create advances under the Line. The Bank
will
create advances on the dates payments become due. If a due date
does not
fall on a banking day, the Bank will create the advance on the
first
banking day following the due date. If the creation of an advance
under
the Line causes the total amount of credit outstanding to exceed
the
Commitment, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the
Bank upon
demand.
|
5.4 |
Banking
Days.
|
Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to
close,
or are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank's lending office is located,
and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate
(if
any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar deposits are conducted
among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and
disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will
be due
on the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking
day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.
5.5 |
Interest
Calculation.
|
Except
as
otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be
computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual
number of days elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than
if a
three hundred sixty-five (365) day year is used. Installments of principal
which
are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest
until
paid.
8
5.6 |
Default
Rate.
|
Upon
the
occurrence of any default or after the Expiration Date or after judgment
has
been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding
under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not
paid
when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is
three
(3.0) percentage points higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided
under this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will
not
constitute a waiver of any default.

8.6 |
Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio.
|
To
maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.25:1.00 or greater, measured

end of each reporting period for which the Bank requires financial statements

10.4 |
Arbitration
and Waiver of Jury Trial.
|
(a)
|
This
paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims
between
the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including
but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or
relate to:
(i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications);
or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a
"Claim").
For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties”
shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of
the Bank
involved in the servicing, management or administration of any
obligation
described or evidenced by this
agreement.
|
20
(b)
|
At
the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be
resolved by
binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration
Act (Title
9, U.S. Code) (the "Act"). The Act will apply even though this
agreement
provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. The
arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort
to any
form of class action.
|
(c)
|
Arbitration
proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial
services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any
successor
thereof ("AAA"), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event
of any
inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA
is
unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration
or (ii)
enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may
designate
another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve
as the
provider of arbitration.
|
(d)
|
The
arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless
otherwise
required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal
property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no
such
collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section
of this
agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however,
if
Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request
of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration
hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for
arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and
the
award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days
of the
close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing
of good
cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an
additional
sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be
submitted
to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered
and
enforced.
|
(e)
|
The
arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining
any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the
Claim is
barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations,
the
service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim
is the
equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this
arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be
determined
by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to
award
legal fees pursuant to the terms of this
agreement.
|
(f)
|
This
paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise
self-help
remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial
or
non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property
collateral;
(iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act
in a
court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited
to,
injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver,
or
additional or supplementary
remedies.
|
(g)
|
The
filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver
of the
right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require
submittal of the Claim to
arbitration.
|
(h)
|
By
agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily
waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of
any Claim.
Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this agreement
to
arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties
irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a
trial by
jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for
the parties entering into this
agreement.
