Gentlemen:
This Restated and Amended Letter Loan Agreement (this “Agreement”) amends and restates the previous Restated and Amended Letter Loan Agreement between the parties hereto dated March 26, 2004, as amended by the parties on June 25, 2004, and as further restated and amended by the parties on April 1, 2005, on March 3, 2006, on June 13, 2007, and on March 25, 2008.
This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which we have agreed to extend the maturity date of the current unpaid balance of $2,250,000.00 of the loan previously made to you in the principal amount of $3,000,000.00 (the “Loan”), which is no longer a revolving loan. Accordingly, as payments are made on the Loan, additional advances will no longer be permitted.
|
1. LENDER: |
The Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xx Xxxxx |
1988 Charitable Unitrust (the “Unitrust”).
|
2. |
BORROWER: |
The Xxxxx Company (the “Company”). |
|
3. AMOUNT: |
$2,250,000.00. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $2,250,000.00 dated as of this date (the “Note”). The Borrower shall be permitted to make prepayments without penalty up to the amount of the Note. |
|
4. |
INTEREST RATE: |
A fixed rate of 10.00%. |
|
5. REPAYMENT: |
The outstanding principal balance (the “Indebtedness”) plus unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable on April 1, 2011. |
|
6. |
COLLATERAL: |
None. |
Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Loan has been secured by various Deeds of Trust in favor of Lender and other lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) covering Borrower’s working and overriding royalty interests in the McElmo Dome Unit in Montezuma and Xxxxxxx Counties of Colorado (the “Interests”). Effective as of this date the Borrower has sold all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Interests, and Lenders have agreed to release such Deeds of Trust. Borrower and Lender have now agreed that Borrower shall henceforth be unsecured.
|
7. COVENANT: |
Until the Indebtedness has been paid in full, the Borrower will not sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of, all or a substantial portion of its assets now owned or hereafter acquired, whether pursuant to a single transaction or a series of transactions, and the Borrower will not merge or consolidate with any person or entity or permit any such merger or consolidation with the Borrower. This paragraph specifically excludes (i) asset sales incurred in the normal course of business and (ii) the sale of the Interests being made by Borrower concurrently herewith. |
It is the desire of Lender that the Indebtedness be converted to an amortizing loan when Borrower has demonstrated the financial capability to commence periodic payments of principal and interest totaling at least $100,000 per quarter. Accordingly, Borrower has agreed that it will meet with Lender annually to review Borrower’s financial progress. No amortization will be required until both parties have agreed to same. The sole purpose of this paragraph is to recognize Lender’s desire that, at some point, a meaningful amortization of the Loan is desired.
|
8. |
