Note Payable

In July 2004, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC, a limited liability company wholly owned by QAD Inc. ("QAD Ortega Hill, LLC"), entered into a loan agreement (the "2004 Mortgage") with Rabobank, N.A. The 2004 Mortgage had an original principal amount of $18.0 million and bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.5%. The 2004 Mortgage was secured by the Company's headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California. The terms of the 2004 Mortgage provided for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make 119 monthly payments of $115,000 consisting of principal and interest and one final principal payment of $15.4 million. The 2004 Mortgage was scheduled to mature in July 2014 and was refinanced on May 30, 2012 as described below. The unpaid balance as of the date of the refinance was $16.1 million.

Effective May 30, 2012, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into a variable rate credit agreement (the "2012 Mortgage") with Rabobank, N.A., to refinance the 2004 Mortgage.  The 2012 Mortgage has an original principal balance of $16.1 million and bears interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 2.25%.  One month LIBOR was 0.21% at October 31, 2012.  The 2012 Mortgage matures in June 2022 and is secured by the Company's headquarters located in Santa Barbara, California.  In conjunction with the 2012 Mortgage, QAD Ortega Hill, LLC entered into an interest rate swap with Rabobank, N.A. The swap agreement has an initial notional amount of $16.1 million and a schedule matching that of the underlying loan that synthetically fixes the interest rate on the debt at 4.31% for the entire term of the 2012 Mortgage. The terms of the 2012 Mortgage provide for QAD Ortega Hill, LLC to make net monthly payments of $88,100 consisting of principal and interest and one final payment of $11.7 million. The unpaid balance as of October 31, 2012 was $15.9 million.

Credit Facility

On July 8, 2011, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Rabobank, N.A. (the "Facility"). The Facility provided a one-year commitment through July 15, 2012 for a $20 million line of credit for working capital or other business needs. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the daily average of the unused portion of the $20 million Facility. Borrowings under the Facility bore interest at a rate equal to one month LIBOR plus 0.75%. On July 13, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Facility. The amendment extended the maturity of the Facility from July 15, 2012 to July 15, 2014. The amendment did not provide for any change in the variable rate of interest or debt covenants.

The Facility provides that the Company maintain certain financial and operating ratios which include, among other provisions, minimum liquidity on a consolidated basis of $25 million in cash and equivalents at all times, a current ratio (calculated using current liabilities excluding deferred revenue) of not less than 1.3 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, a leverage ratio of not more than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, and a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0 determined at the end of each fiscal year. The Facility also contains customary covenants that could restrict the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. At October 31, 2012, the effective borrowing rate would have been 1.0%.

As of October 31, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Facility and the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.
