“(a)Availability.  

(i)Advances. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may request that Bank finance specific Eligible Accounts.  Bank may, in its good faith business discretion finance such Eligible Accounts by extending credit to Borrower in an amount equal to the result of the Advance Rate multiplied by the face amount of the Eligible Account (individually, an “Advance” and collectively, the “Advances”).  Bank may, in its sole discretion, change the percentage of the Advance Rate for a particular Eligible Account on a case by case basis.  When Bank makes an Advance other than a

 


 

Peso Advance (as defined in Section 2.1.1(a)(ii), below), the Eligible Account becomes a “Financed Receivable”. 

(ii)Peso Advance Sublimit. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and availability under the Facility Amount (as defined in Section 2.1.1(b), below),  Borrower may request that Bank extend credit to Borrower, and Bank may, in its good faith business discretion, extend such credit to Borrower up to the amount equal to the lesser of (i) seventy percent (70%) (the “Peso Advance Rate”) of the Dollar equivalent of the aggregate value of Mexican Pesos maintained in Borrower’s multicurrency account numbered XXXXXXX323 held at Bank, and (ii) the Peso Advance Sublimit (each such credit extension, a “Peso Advance” and collectively, the “Peso Advances”); provided that (i) the Peso Advances shall be deemed to constitute “Advances” for purposes of calculating availability under the Facility Amount and otherwise under this Agreement, unless specifically stated otherwise and (ii) Bank, in its sole discretion, shall determine the Peso Advance Rate and applicable exchange rate with respect to the Peso Advances on a weekly basis, or more frequently as determined by Bank.

    (b)Maximum Advances.  The aggregate amount of Advances (inclusive of Peso Advances) outstanding at any time may not exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Facility Amount”).

    (c)Borrowing Procedure.  

(i)Advances.   With respect to Advances other than Peso Advances, Borrower will deliver an Invoice Transmittal for each Eligible Account it offers.  Bank may rely on information set forth in or provided with the Invoice Transmittal.  In addition, upon Bank’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Bank any contracts, purchase orders, or other underlying supporting documentation with respect to such Eligible Account.  

(ii)Peso Advances.  With respect to Peso Advances, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the requested Funding Date of the Peso Advance.  Together with any such electronic or facsimile notification, Borrower shall deliver to Bank by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Payment/Advance Form executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee.  Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee.  Bank shall credit Peso Advances to the Designated Deposit Account.  Bank may make Peso Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Peso Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.”

2.2Section 2.1.1 (Financing of Accounts).  Section 2.1.1(h) of the Loan Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(h)Suspension of Advances.  Borrower’s ability to request that Bank finance Eligible Accounts or extend Peso Advances hereunder will terminate if, in Bank’s sole discretion, there has been a material adverse change in the general affairs, management, results of operation, condition (financial or otherwise) or the prospect of repayment of the Obligations, or there has been any material adverse deviation by Borrower from the most recent business plan of Borrower presented to and accepted by Bank prior to the Effective Date.”

2.3Section 2.5 (Finance Charges).  Section 2.5 of the Loan Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 


 

2.5Finance Charges.  In computing Finance Charges on the Obligations (other than with respect to the Peso Advances) under this Agreement, all Collections received by Bank shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of the Obligations (other than with respect to the Peso Advances) on the same Business Day as receipt of the Collections.  Borrower will pay a finance charge (the “Finance Charge”) on the Financed Receivable Balance which is equal to the Applicable Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) multiplied by the number of days each such Financed Receivable is outstanding multiplied by the outstanding Financed Receivable Balance.  The Finance Charge is payable when the Advance made based on such Financed Receivable is repaid in accordance with Section 2.11 of this Agreement.  Immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate will increase an additional five percent (5.00%) per annum.” 

2.4Section 2.5.1 (Interest Rate for Peso Advances).  New Section 2.5.1 hereby is added to the Loan Agreement as follows:

2.5.1Interest Rate for Peso Advances.  

(a)Interest Rate.  Subject to Section 2.5.1(b), the principal amount outstanding with respect to Peso Advances shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate.

(b)Default Rate.  Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Peso Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).  Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.5.1(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

(c)Adjustment to Interest Rate.  Changes to the interest rate of any Peso Advance based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.”

2.5Section 2.11 (Repayment of Obligations; Adjustments).  Section 2.11 of the Loan Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
