Such rights shall be in effect as long as the Bank maintains a beneficial ownership in Broadway common stock.  The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply to any Common Stock Equivalents or non-voting preferred stock of Broadway theretofore issued in exchange for Common Stock at the request of the Bank and/or Bancorp.

 

(b)           Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Bank shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the Shares at any time, and Broadway shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Bank to facilitate the Transfer of all or any portion of the Shares.

RECITALS

On or about July 31, 2009, Transferor and Borrower entered into a Business Loan Agreement, dated July 31, 2009 (the “Loan Agreement”), whereby Transferor agreed to make the Loan to Borrower, with the Loan secured by the Collateral, as that term is defined in the Commercial Security Agreement, by and between Transferor and Borrower, dated July 31, 2009.  In connection with the Loan Agreement, on or about July 31, 2009, Borrower made, executed and delivered to Transferor the original promissory note (the “Original Promissory Note”), for the sum of Five Million Dollars Even ($5,000,000.00).

 

Borrower has defaulted on its obligations under the Original Promissory Note (the “Loan Obligations”) by, among other things, failing to make the monthly payments during the stated term of the Original Promissory Note and the lump sum payment of all outstanding principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest on July 31, 2010, the maturity date (collectively the “Defaults”).

 

As of the date hereof the outstanding principal balance under the Original Promissory Note is Five Million Dollars Even ($5,000,000.00) (collectively, the “Indebtedness”).

 

On or about August 22, 2013, in order to facilitate the sale by Transferor of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars Even ($1,150,000.00) of the principal amount represented by the Original Promissory Note to Transferee in consideration of the receipt by Transferor of Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars Even ($575,000.00) from the Transferee, and for other good and valuable consideration as set forth in this Agreement, the Original Promissory Note was broken up into two resulting promissory notes, an interest bearing note for Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,850,000.00), which is being retained by the Transferor, and a non-interest bearing note (the “Promissory Note”) a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A in the principal amount of One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars Even ($1,150,000.00), which is being

 



 

acquired by Transferee pursuant to this Agreement.

Principal Amount: $3,850,000.00

Date of Agreement: August 22, 2013

 

DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. A Line of Credit evidenced by a Promissory Note dated July 31, 2009, in the original principal amount of $5,000,000.00 (“Note”).

 

DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. A security interest in the collateral further described in the Commercial Security Agreement dated July 31, 2009, entered into between BROADWAY FINANCIAL CORPORATION (Grantor) and Lender, and the Commercial Pledge Agreement, dated even date herewith, entered into between Grantor and Lender.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

 

1. Original principal amount of $5,000,000.00 is hereby being split into two promissory notes as follows:

 

A)    A promissory note for $1,150,000.00 which it is presently contemplated will be sold to a third-party and then immediately converted into Borrower common stock, and

 

B)    A promissory note with a change in terms agreement for $3,850,000.00.

 

· Interest Rate is being changed to “Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (Daily Adjustable) + 2.00% with Floor Rate of 6.00%” from “Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (Daily Adjustable) + 1.00% with Floor Rate of 6.00%” effective as of the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement for Partial Satisfaction (defined below).

 

· The original Note which evidenced a revolving line of credit is being converted to Business Term Loan.

 

· Borrower will pay six (6) interest payments beginning three (3) months following the closing of the recapitalization of Broadway Financial Corporation and every quarter thereafter; and 48 monthly consecutive principal and Interest payments in the initial amount of $57,037.64 beginning nineteen (19) months following the closing of the recapitalization of Broadway Financial Corporation and every month thereafter.

 

2. Partial satisfaction of an amount of the principal represented by the $3,850,000.00 Promissory Note in consideration of the receipt by Lender of a certain number of shares of Borrower common stock is occurring, as more fully provided for in that certain Agreement for Partial Satisfaction of Debt Previously Contracted (the “Agreement for Partial Satisfaction”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

3. As of, and conditioned upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement for Partial Satisfaction, Lender shall forgive any and all interest (including interest accrued pursuant to the Default Rate Margin) and late charges that have accrued and remain unpaid through the date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement for Partial Satisfaction.

 

4. PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE: Early payment will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make regularly scheduled payments of principal and accrued and unpaid interest.

 

5. COVENANTS & CONDITIONS:

 

· if, but only to the extent that, Borrower receives FRB approval to do so, Borrower shall use 25% of net proceeds of any subsequent capital raises to repay Lender. Borrower shall use it best commercially resonable efforts to obtain such FRB approval.

· Borrower shall promptly seek any and all approvals from FRB, with sufficient time to allow a response, prior to each payment date.

· Borrower shall immediately upon the request of Lender, and, in advance of submission of the same, provide Lender with any and all documents forming part of a request for approval from the FRB to make a scheduled payment.

 

6. “Payment Default” under “Event of Default” is modified as follows:

 

Borrower fails to make any payment when due under this Note. However, it is not an event of default, if Borrower fails to make a scheduled payment as a result of not receiving the required approval from the FRB.

 

7. All references in the loan documents to Nara Bank are replaced with references to BBCN Bank.

 

CONTINUING VALIDITY. Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender’s right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms. Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s). It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing. Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement. If any person who signed the original obligation does not sign this Agreement below, then all persons signing below acknowledge that this Agreement is given conditionally, based on the representation to Lender that the non-signing party consents to the changes and provisions of this Agreement or otherwise will not be released by it. This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions.

 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DEFAULTS AND WAIVERS. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is currently In default under the Loan Documents, among other reasons, by failing to make the monthly loan payment due on July 31, 2010 and all loan payments that became due thereafter (“Default”). Borrower hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives any and all rights it may have, if any, to contest or dispute the validity of, or to cure, the Default or the exercise of any rights of Lender. Borrower hereby further acknowledges and agrees that in entering into this Agreement, Lender is relying upon the acknowledgment by Borrower of the existence of the Default and its waiver of any right to dispute the existence thereof or to contest any enforcement of Lender’s rights based thereon.
