The Loan shall be a term loan payable in full upon the date and upon the terms and conditions provided in the Promissory Note.

Borrower shall pay Lender a monthly administration fee in an amount equal to one and forty-five hundredths percent (1.45%) of the average outstanding monthly principal balance on the Promissory Note each month.  The administration fee shall be payable monthly in arrears.  Lender is irrevocably authorized to disburse a sufficient amount of funds pursuant to the Financing Agreement each month to pay the administration fee.

2.7           Early Termination Fee

 

If Borrower elects to terminate the Loan at any time prior to the maturity of the Promissory Note, Borrower shall provide at least sixty (60) days written notice of intent to terminate.  Upon such termination, or if an Event of Default accelerates payment of the Loan, Borrower shall pay Lender an early termination fee equal to one percent (1%) of the face amount of the Promissory Note; provided, however, that in the event Borrower obtains Qualified Bank Financing to replace the Loan and the financing provided under the Financing Agreement, Lender shall waive the foregoing early termination fee so long as Borrower provides at least sixty (60) days written notice of its intent to replace the Loan and the financing provided under the Financing Agreement with Qualified Bank Financing, which notice shall itemize the material financial terms of the Qualified Bank Financing.  In the event Borrower provides Lender written notice of its intent to replace the Loan and the financing provided under the Financing Agreement with Qualified Bank Financing, Lender may, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, provide written notice to Borrower that Lender will match the material terms of the proposed Qualified Bank Financing whereupon Lender and Borrower shall amend the Loan Documents and the Financing Agreement, as necessary, to match the material financial terms of the proposed Qualified Bank Financing and the Loan Documents and the Financing Agreement shall remain in force.

2.9           Excess Interest

 

It is the intent of the parties to comply with any usury law applicable to the Loan and to all amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents and it is understood and agreed that in no event and upon no contingency shall Borrower be required to pay interest in excess of the rate allowed by any laws of any state which are determined to be applicable and governing.  The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, the Loan Documents shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under any applicable and governing usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.  In the event Lender receives any interest under the Loan Documents in excess of any highest permissible rate under any applicable and governing law, such excess interest (including simple interest thereon at the interest rate at the highest permissible rate which is applicable and governing) shall be promptly applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower.  To the extent such excess interest is greater than the unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly remit such overage to Borrower.

 

3.             Security for Loan

 

3.1           Grant of Security Interest

 

Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower and Lender acknowledge their mutual intent that all security interests contemplated herein are given as a contemporaneous exchange for new value to Borrower, regardless of when advances to Borrower are actually made or when the Collateral is created or acquired.

c.                                       The Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, are each a bona fide obligation of the obligor identified therein for the amount identified in the records of Borrower, except for normal and customary disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.

 

d.                                      There are no defenses or setoffs to payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, which can be asserted by way of defense or counterclaim against Borrower or Lender, except for normal and customary disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.

 

e.                                       There is presently no default or delinquency in any payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, except for any default or delinquency which has been reserved against by Borrower in accordance with Accounting Standards and the Accounts and Financial Obligations will be timely paid in full by the obligors, except for normal and customary disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.

 

f.                                         Borrower has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance which would materially impair the ability of any obligor on the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, to timely perform its obligations thereunder, except those which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations.

 

g.                                      Any services performed or goods sold giving rise to the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, have been rendered or sold in compliance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

 

h.                                      There have been no extensions, modifications, or other agreements relating to payment of the Accounts and Financial Obligations, if any, except those granted in the ordinary course of business and which do not affect a material portion of the Accounts and Financial Obligations and except those agreements with Benefactor Funding Corp. that shall be terminated by Borrower prior to or immediately in connection with Lender making the First Loan Advance.

 

3.3                                 Covenants Concerning Collateral

 

Borrower covenants that:

 

a.                                       Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements concerning the Collateral.  Borrower will execute and deliver any documents (properly endorsed, if necessary) reasonably requested by Lender for perfection or enforcement of

 

7



 

any security interest or lien, give good faith, diligent cooperation to Lender, and perform such other acts reasonably requested by Lender for perfection and enforcement of any security interest or lien, including, without limitation, obtaining control for purposes of perfection with respect to Collateral consisting of deposit accounts, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, and electronic chattel paper.  Lender is authorized to file, record, or otherwise utilize such documents as it deems necessary to perfect and/or enforce any security interest or lien granted hereunder.

 

b.                                      Borrower shall keep the Equipment in good repair, ordinary wear and tear and obsolescence excepted, and be responsible for any loss or damage to the Equipment.  Borrower shall pay when due all taxes, license fees and other charges on the Equipment.  Borrower shall not sell, misuse, conceal, or in any way dispose of the Equipment or permit it to be used unlawfully or for hire or contrary to the provisions of any insurance coverage.  Risk of loss of the Equipment shall be on Borrower at all times unless Lender takes possession of the Equipment.  Loss of or damage to the Equipment or any part thereof shall not release Borrower from any of the obligations secured by the Equipment.  Lender or its representatives may, at any time and from time to time, enter any premises where the Equipment is located and inspect, audit and check the Equipment; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will only enter any premises where the Equipment is located upon twenty-four (24) hours notice to Borrower.

 

c.                                       Borrower agrees to insure the Equipment, at Borrower’s expense, against loss, damage, theft, and such other risks as Lender may request to the full insurable value thereof with insurance companies and policies satisfactory to Lender.  Proceeds from such insurance shall be payable to Lender as its interest may appear, shall name Lender as an additional insured and as a loss payee, and such policies shall provide for a minimum ten (10) days written cancellation notice to Lender.  Upon request, policies or certificates attesting to such coverage shall be delivered to Lender.  Insurance proceeds may be applied by Lender toward payment of any obligation secured by this Loan and Security Agreement, whether or not due, in such order of application as Lender may elect.

 

d.                                      Borrower will at all times keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral.  Lender or its representatives may, at any time and from time to time, enter any premises where the Collateral and/or the records pertaining to the Collateral are located and inspect, inventory, audit, check, copy, and otherwise review the Collateral and the records concerning the Collateral; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender will enter any premise where the Collateral and/or records pertaining to the Collateral are located upon twenty-four (24) hours notice to Borrower.

d.                                      Each Borrower shall be a direct, primary and independent obligor and shall not be deemed to be a guarantor, accommodation party or other person secondarily liable for the Obligations under the Loan Documents.  “Obligations” as used in this Section means, as the context requires, the duties and obligations under the Loan Documents from time to time.  Without limiting the foregoing, however, each Borrower represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:

 

(i)            Lender may enforce the Loan and Security Agreement and the Loan Documents against any property, interests in property, and rights to property securing any or all Obligations arising pursuant to the related documents without first having sought enforcement of Loan and Security Agreement and any related documents against any Borrower or any other Collateral.

 

(ii)           Such Obligations shall not be affected by any of the following:  (A) the bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, incompetence, insolvency, liquidation, or reorganization of any Borrower; (B) any defense of either Borrower to payment or performance of any or all Obligations or enforcement of any and all liens and encumbrances; (C) the discharge, modification of the terms of, reduction in the amount of, or stay of enforcement of any or all liens and encumbrances or any or all Obligations under the related documents in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other legal proceeding or by law, ordinance, regulation, or rule (federal, state, or local); (D) the cessation of liability of either Borrower or any or all Obligations; (E) any claim or dispute by any other Borrower concerning the occurrence of any default in performance of any Obligations, or any other matter.

 

(iii)          Lender may do the following acts or omissions from time to time with notice to Borrower, which notice shall not be required to be in writing, but without the consent of any Borrower and without receiving payment or other value, nor shall the following acts or omissions affect, delay or impair any of such Obligations or any or all liens and encumbrances:  (A) Lender may obtain Collateral or additional Collateral; (B) with the agreement of one Borrower, Lender may substitute for any or all Collateral regardless of whether the same type or greater or lesser value; (C) Lender may release any or all Collateral; (D) Lender may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle or waive any rights or remedies of Lender as to any or all Collateral; (E) Lender may sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in accordance with the related documents and in such manner or order as Lender determines; (F) Lender may fail to perfect, fail to protect the priority of, and fail to ensure any or all liens or

 

20



 

encumbrances; (G) Lender may fail to inspect, insure, maintain, preserve or protect any or all Collateral; (H) Lender may obtain additional obligors for any or all such Obligations; (I) with the agreement of one Borrower, Lender may increase or decrease any or all Obligations or otherwise change terms of any or all Obligations; (J) Lender may release any Borrower; (K) Lender may compromise, delay enforcement, fail to enforce, release, settle or waive any Obligations of any Borrower with the agreement of that Loan Party; (L) Lender may make advances to, or grant other financial accommodations for any Borrower; (M) Lender may fail to file or pursue a claim in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other proceeding as to any or all liens and encumbrances or any or all Obligations; (N) Lender may amend, modify, extend, renew, restate, supplement or terminate in whole or in part the obligation of any Loan Party with the agreement of that Loan Party; (O) Lender may take or fail to take any other action with respect to any Loan Document or Loan Party; and (P) Lender may do any other acts or make any other omissions that result in the extinguishment of the obligation of any Loan Party.  As used herein, “Loan Party” means Borrower, and each other person that from time to time is or becomes obligated to Lender under this Loan and Security Agreement and any Loan Documents or grants any lien or encumbrance to Lender with respect to any Collateral.

 

(iv)          Each Borrower waives any and all rights and benefits under any laws that limit the liability or exonerate guarantors or sureties s now or hereafter in effect and any other statutes or rules now or hereafter in effect that purport to confer specific rights upon or make specific defenses or procedures available to any Borrower.

 

(v)           Each Borrower waives any rights that require Lender, and Lender shall have no obligation to, provide to Borrower any information concerning the performance of any other Borrower, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the related documents, or the ability of the other to perform the Obligations or any other matter, regardless of what information Lender may from time to time have.  Borrower waives any and all present and future claims, remedies and rights against the other or any other Borrower, the Collateral and any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Loan Party (A) arising from any performance hereunder, (B) arising from any application of any Collateral, or any other property, interest in property or rights to property of any other Borrower, or (C) otherwise arising in respect of this Loan and Security Agreement and the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such claims, remedies and rights arise under any present or future agreement, document or instrument or are provided by any law, ordinance, regulation or rule (federal, state or local) (including, without limitation, any and all rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement, and subrogation and any and all rights to participate in the rights and remedies of Lender, against any Borrower).  To the fullest extent that rights of contribution, exoneration, indemnity, reimbursement and subrogation are not waivable, such rights are hereby made subordinate and subject to all rights, liens and claims of Lender.

 

21



 

e.                                       Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that:

 

(i)            As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement and the obligations hereby assumed, the sum of each Borrower’s debts is less than all of such Borrower’s assets at fair valuation.

 

(ii)           Borrower is not entering into this Loan and Security Agreement, granting any security in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, or otherwise making any transfer in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of Borrower, whether such creditor now exists or may hereafter arise.

 

(iii)          Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s commitment to lend certain amounts to Borrower pursuant to this Loan and Security Agreement constitutes reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the execution and delivery by Borrower of this Loan and Security Agreement, the granting of security in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement, and all transfers made by Borrower in connection with this Loan and Security Agreement.  Borrower agrees that the execution of this Loan and Security Agreement, the joint borrowing contemplated by this Loan and Security Agreement, the Loan Documents, and the other related documents and the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, even though entailing some risks, have been determined by Borrower to be the most desirable form of financing for Borrower’s operations and to provide to Borrower more availability of funds and flexibility in satisfying Borrower’s need for funds.

 

(iv)          Borrower is not engaged or about to be engaged in a business or transaction for which the assets of Borrower (after giving effect to the granting of any security in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement and any other transfer made or contemplated to be made in connection with the execution and delivery of this Loan and Security Agreement) would be unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction.

 

(v)           Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.

 

(vi)          As used in this Section, the term “transfer” shall include every mode, direct or indirect, absolute or conditional, voluntary or involuntary, of disposing of or parting with an asset or an interest in an asset and includes payment of money, release, lease, and creation of a lien or other encumbrance.

 

f.                                         Indemnity Obligations:

 

(i)            Each Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to the terms of this Loan and Security Agreement, each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations, whether or not the Obligations represent amounts actually advanced to an individual Borrower.  Accordingly, each Borrower has expressly
