NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged hereby, the Borrower and Lender hereto, intending legally to be bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1. Commitment. As of the date hereof, the Lender has made loans to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of $507,500.00. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make additional disbursements of a loan (collectively, with the loan that is currently outstanding, the “Loan”) on and after the Effective Date (as defined below) to the Borrower upon the terms and conditions expressed in this Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand Five Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($1,757,500.00) (which includes the $507,500.00 that is currently outstanding). The Borrower (i) shall borrow, so long as the Effective Date has occurred by such time, Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) of the One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) in remaining commitment on and after June 15, 2022 but on or before June 20, 2022, and (ii) may borrow up to Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($750,000.00) of the One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) in remaining commitment on and after January 14, 2023 but prior to December 30, 2023. The Lender’s commitment to make such disbursements shall terminate on the earlier of (a) December 30, 2023 and (b) the date that the Lender has lent One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) on and after June 15, 2022; provided, however that the Lender’s commitment shall be reduced by Five Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($500,00.00) of the Borrower fails to borrow such amount by June 20, 2022 pursuant to clause (i) above of this paragraph 1. All proceeds of the Loan shall be used by Borrower in the normal course of Borrower’s business, provided that no Loan proceeds shall be used to make any payments, dividends, or other disbursements to any owners of Borrower or family members thereof other than, to the extent permitted under the terms and provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, the salaries of the owners of the Borrower in the ordinary course of business and in the amounts paid to such owners as of the date of this Agreement. To make a borrowing under the Loan, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Lender requesting such borrowing at least one (1) business day prior to the making of such borrowing. In no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all borrowing made (i) under this Agreement exceed One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Seven Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,757,500.00) and (ii) under this Agreement on and after the Effective Date exceed One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00).

2. The Note. Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal on the Loan shall be evidenced by an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Note”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, the terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. The Loan may be repaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or premium, as provided in the Note. The Note shall bear interest and such interest shall be payable as provided therein.

 

3. Security. Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note and each other agreement, instrument and document delivered in connection herewith (collectively, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Documents”) shall be secured by a binding lien on the collateral of Borrower set forth and described in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Collateral”) created by this Agreement. In addition to any other remedies which Lender has hereunder or by law, upon default, Lender shall have the right to enforce the Credit Documents. The Borrower together with any other person who grants a lien to secure, or who guarantees, the Obligations (as defined below) are referred to in the Credit Documents as the “Loan Parties” and each a “Loan Party”.

 

4. Security Interest and Collateral Covenants.

 

(a) To secure the prompt payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, of the Loan and Note and all other Obligations (as defined below), Borrower hereby grants to Lender, for itself and for the benefit of its successors and assigns, a continuing security interest in, and a right to set off against, any and all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Collateral. “Obligations” means (a) all advances to, and debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties of, any Loan Party arising under any Credit Document or otherwise with respect to the Loan or Note, whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assumption), absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising and including interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws naming such Person as the debtor in such proceeding, regardless of whether such interest and fees are allowed claims in such proceeding. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such first Person. A Person shall be deemed to control another Person (“Control” or “Controlling”) if such first Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policies of the second Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, common directors, trustees or officers, the power to appoint common directors, trustees or officers by contract or otherwise. “Debtor Relief Laws” means the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally. “Person” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, an association, a trust or any other entity or organization, including a government or political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

(c) The Borrower shall defend its title in and to the Collateral and shall defend the security interest of Lender in the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons, other than Lender and its successors and assigns and other than those Liens described in Section 6 herein.

 

(d) The Borrower shall (i) protect and preserve all properties material to its business, and maintain all tangible property in good and workable condition in all material respects, with reasonable allowance for wear and tear, and (ii) from time to time make or cause to be made all needed and appropriate repairs, renewals, replacements, and additions to such properties necessary for the conduct of its business.

(f) To the extent allowed by law, neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral or for any act or failure to act with respect to the Collateral, or for any loss or damage thereto or any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act by any other person. In the case of any instruments and chattel paper included within the Collateral, Lender shall have no duty or obligation to preserve rights against prior parties. The Loan shall not be affected by any failure of Lender to take any steps to perfect its security interests or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release Borrower from any of the obligations.

 

(g) The Borrower shall perform, at its expense, all actions requested by Lender at any time to perfect, maintain, protect and enforce Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. The Borrower hereby agrees that the Lender may file Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in any jurisdiction and such financing statements may describe the Collateral as “all assets” or it may contain any other description.
