LOAN AGREEMENT
     This Agreement dated as of August 10, 2005, is between BERJAYA GROUP (CAYMAN) LIMITED, a Cayman Islands corporation (the “Lender”), and ROADHOUSE GRILL, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Borrower”). The Borrower’s obligation to repay any line of credit loan described in this Agreement is contained in that certain Line of Credit Promissory Note in the original principal amount of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) of even date herewith and any additional promissory notes now or hereafter executed and delivered by the Borrower to the Lender and any renewals, modifications, restatements, amendments and extensions thereof (collectively, the “Note”), which is expressly NOT incorporated herein pursuant to Section 201.08(6), Florida Statues and Rules 12B-4.052(6)(b) and (12)(g), Florida Administrative Code.
1. LINE OF CREDIT AMOUNT AND TERMS
1.1 Line of Credit Amount.
(a)   During the availability period described below, the Lender will provide a line of credit to the Borrower. The amount of the line of credit is One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,250,000.00) (the “Commitment”).
(b)   This is a non-revolving line of credit. Any amount borrowed, even if repaid before the expiration date of the line of credit, permanently reduces the remaining available line of credit. Each amounts borrowed hereunder shall be referred to herein as a “Loan” and all amounts borrowed hereunder shall be referred to collectively as “Loans”.
(c)   The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance of all Loans outstanding at any time to exceed the Commitment.
1.2 Availability Period.
The line of credit is available between the date of this Agreement and May 15, 2006 or such earlier date as the Commitment may terminate as provided in this Agreement (the “Commitment Expiration Date”).
1.3 Repayment Terms.
(a)   Interest accrued on the principal amount of the Loans outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable on the Commitment Expiration Date. All interest payments shall be made without reduction for any United States withholding tax that may be applicable thereto, with the Borrower being solely responsible for paying all such taxes on behalf of the Lender.
(b)   The Borrower may prepay any and all Loans in full or in part at any time. The prepayment will reduce the amount of the Line of Credit and no longer be available for borrowing under this Agreement.

 


 

1.4 Mandatory Prepayment in Certain Events.
     (a) Immediately upon receipt of the net cash proceeds of each advance purchase of food, beverage, goods and/or services credits (each, a “Credit Sale Transaction”), the Borrower agrees to make a principal prepayment equal to the net proceeds so received. As used herein, “net proceeds” of any such Credit Sale Transaction means the actual cash proceeds received and collected by the Borrower reduced solely by the direct out of pocket expenses actually incurred, or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, by the Borrower in connection therewith. Each prepayment under this Section will reduce the amount of the Line of Credit and no longer be available for borrowing under this Agreement.
     (b) Without limiting the application of any other provision of this Agreement which accelerates the Commitment Termination Date, upon the closing of any Sale Transaction (as defined in Section 7.12 hereof), all Loans then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable and the Commitment shall forthwith terminate.
1.5 Interest Rate; Limitation.
The interest rate on all Loans is Ten Percent (10%) per annum. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Lender does not intend to charge, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, any amount of interest or other charges that is in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Borrower or credited against principal, at the option of the Lender. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid under applicable law including the usury laws in force in the State of Florida.
1.6 Expenses.
The Borrower agrees to immediately reimburse the Lender for expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, filing, recording and search fees.
1.7 Reimbursement Costs.
The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for any costs and expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but are not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Lender’s outside legal counsel, Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson, P.A.
2. COLLATERAL
All personal property (including rights as tenants under real property lease) owned by the Borrower or in which the Borrower has rights, now owned or held or owned or acquired in the future by the Borrower, and wherever located (collectively, the “Collateral”), will secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined). The Collateral is further defined in the Security Agreement executed by the Borrower in connection herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at such time as the Borrower

2


 

sells its restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina, the Lender shall release its security interest in any Collateral located at such restaurant and included in such sale, and the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any Loans as a condition of obtaining such release.
3. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS
3.1 Disbursements and Payments.
(a)   Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds.
(b)   Each disbursement by the Lender and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Lender.
3.2 Telephone and Telefax Authorization.
(a)   The Lender may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments given, or purported to be given, by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers.
(b)   Advances will be deposited in the Borrower’s bank deposit account identified in a writing separately delivered to the Lender simultaneously with the Borrower’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, or such other of Borrower’s accounts at other banks as shall be designated in writing by the Borrower to the Lender from time to time hereafter.
(c)   The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Lender harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions which the Lender reasonably believes are made by any individual authorized by the Borrower to give such instructions. This paragraph will survive the termination of this Agreement, and will benefit the Lender and its officers, employees, agents and legal counsel.
3.3 Business Days.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a “Business Day” is a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in the State of Florida. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day that is not a Business Day will be due on the next Business Day.
3.4 Interest Calculation.
Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
3.5 Default Rate.
Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement or the Note, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement and

3


 

the Note, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Lender bear interest at a rate of Eighteen Percent (18%) per annum. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.
