ADVANCES

 

2.1 Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, Lender agrees to advance to Borrower from time to time and until the Termination Date, such sums as Borrower may request (the "Advances") but which shall not exceed, in the aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding, the Commitment. Advances shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America and shall be made in same day or immediately available funds. Each Advance shall be in an amount equal to at least $10,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof and shall be made three Business Days after written request (or telephonic request confirmed in writing). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow pursuant to this Section 2.1, prepay the Advances and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.

 

2.2 Payment of Outstanding Amounts.

 

(a) If not paid earlier, the outstanding principal and interest balance of all Advances shall be due and payable to the Lender on the Termination Date.

 

(b) Not used.

 

 

 

2.3 Interest Payments. Interest on the outstanding principal balance under the Advances shall accrue at the greater of 10% per annum or LIBOR Rate in effect. All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed for each day on which any principal balance is outstanding under the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

2.4 Interest Payments. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due on the first Business Day of each month. If not paid earlier, all outstanding accrued interest hereunder shall be due and payable to the Lender on the Termination Date.

 

2.5 Other Payment Terms.

 

(a) Manner. Borrower shall make all payments due to Lender hereunder in lawful money of the United States and in same day or immediately available funds.

 

(b) Date. Whenever any payment due hereunder shall fall due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(c) Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Borrower shall pay interest on all Obligations not paid when due, from the date due thereof until such amounts are paid in full at a per annum rate equal to the three (3) percentage points in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Advances. All computations of such interest shall be based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

 

2.6 Loan Account. The Obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be presumptive evidence of the amount of such Obligations, and the interest and principal payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in so doing shall not, however, limit, increase or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owning hereunder. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall execute or obtain and deliver all instruments, documents or writings as Lender may, from time to time, request to protect, insure, or enforce its interest, rights or remedies created by, provided in or as a result of this Loan Agreement or any other instrument or document executed by Borrower in connection with this Loan Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, the execution of a promissory note in favor of Lender (a “Note”). In addition to all other sums agreed to be paid to Lender hereunder, and all instruments, documents and writings securing same, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all expenses paid or incurred by Lender in any manner related to its Obligations, including without limitation, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) relating to the enforcement and collection thereof.
