In consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows: I. THE INSTALLMENT LOAN 1.1 Subject to the terms hereinafter set forth, Bank agrees to lend to Debtor, and the Debtor agrees to borrow from the Lender, the sum of TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00) (hereinafter referred to as "INSTALLMENT LOAN"), to be used by the Debtor for the limited purpose of: (i) purchasing equipment (as defined in Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-109(2) of the U.C.C.) to be used in Debtor's trade or business (the "EQUIPMENT"); and (ii) paying off a Debtor's "Qualifying Current Indebtedness" (defined below). It is specifically understood that the proceeds of the Installment Loan shall not be used for the general operating expenses of the Debtor's business. 1.2 The Installment Loan shall be evidenced by and payable with interest on the terms set forth in a Promissory Note of Debtor ("INSTALLMENT NOTE") payable to the order of the Bank, with interest in the form and with the provisions set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. The Installment Note is an advancing note, but not a revolving credit arrangement. Debtor shall pay installments of principal and interest monthly as provided by the Installment Note. The Bank is hereby authorized, but shall not be required, to make notations of advances by it to the Debtor and payments to it by the Debtor on the reverse side of the Note. Such notations, or the entries on any liability ledger records maintained by or for the Bank as to indebtedness of Debtor, shall be presumed correct until the contrary is established by Debtor. Upon demand by the Bank at any time or from time to time, the Debtor will confirm and admit by signed writing the exact amount of indebtedness for principal and interest then outstanding under this Agreement. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by or for the Bank shall be conclusive and fully binding on Debtor unless specific written notice of exception is given to the Bank by Debtor within thirty (30) days thereafter. 1.3 Advances under the Installment Note will be limited by the Debt Service Ratio (defined below) and the Liquidity Ratio (defined below). A request for advance shall be submitted upon a signed Request for Advance, in a form and substance acceptable by the Bank, which shall contain, without limitation, the following: (a) The description and location of the Equipment to be acquired, or which has been acquired, and for which the advance is to be made; (b) The amount of the Advance applicable to the listed Equipment, and a statement that the amount of the Advance reasonably represents the fair value of the Equipment; (c) If, in order to obtain a security interest in the Equipment, it is necessary to record the same on the document of title for the Equipment, the document of title reflecting the Equipment is free and clear of encumbrances or a valid release of existing encumbrances; (d) If the Advance is to be made for the payment of a Qualifying Current Indebtedness, identification of the indebtedness and the amount to be advanced for the payment of the indebtedness, and evidence of, or an acknowledgment by the applicable creditor of, the full payment of the indebtedness, and if the same is subject to a security interest in any asset of the Debtor, then a copy of an appropriate release and termination statement of such security interest. A "QUALIFYING CURRENT INDEBTEDNESS" is an indebtedness listed in Exhibit "B", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 1.4 The Debtor may prepay the Installment Note at any time, without premium or penalty. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance the Installment Note exceeds the limitations of the Debt Service Ratio or the Liquidity Ratio, then the Debtor shall immediately, without notice or demand, prepay the Note in an amount equal to the debt reduction necessary to bring the applicable ratio under compliance. 1.5 Loan proceeds may be disbursed by deposit in any deposit account of the Debtor, by an instrument payable to Debtor. 1.6 The Debtor will use the proceeds of the Installment Loan solely for the limited purposes specified in this Agreement, which are lawful and authorized corporate purposes in furtherance of the business presently conducted by the Debtor. II. INTEREST 2.1 The Installment Note shall bear interest at the "CONTRACT RATE," which is defined as the "BASE RATE" plus the "MARGIN." 2.2 The Base Rate shall equal the lowest base rate on corporate loans posted by at least Seventy-five percent (75%) of the nation's thirty (30) largest banks as published in the money rates section of the southwest edition of the WALL STREET JOURNAL. If the Base Rate becomes unavailable during the term of the Installment Note, Bank may designate a substitute index after notifying Debtor. Bank will inform Debtor what the current Base Rate is at any time during the term of either of the Installment Note. The Base Rate will not change more often than once each day. 2 2.3 The Margin shall equal one percentage (1%) point. 2.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Contract Rate under the Installment Note shall never be less than Six Percent (6%) per annum.
