On January 11, 2010, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Amegy Bank National Association (“Amegy”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $1.0 million term loan facility.  On January 10, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into a First Amendment to Loan Agreement increasing the Company's term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement. On October 26, 2011, the Company and Amegy entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement further increasing the Company’s term loan facility and amending certain other provisions of the Loan Agreement.  As amended, the Amegy credit facility provides a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $250 thousand letter of credit subfacility) and a $4.0 million term loan facility, in addition to $0.7 million in existing term loans.

The Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Amegy revolving credit facility through January 11, 2013, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility mature.  Availability under the revolving credit facility is limited by advance rates on eligible inventory and accounts receivable. Interest on indebtedness from time to time outstanding under the revolving credit facility is computed at Amegy’s prime rate and is payable monthly.  A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

Amegy has agreed to make term loans under the term facility through October 31, 2012.  Advances for such term loans are limited by a percentage of the costs of equipment and leasehold improvements for new restaurant locations of the Company and may not be reborrowed after repayment.  Interest only is payable monthly on each term loan for up to 120 days after the initial advance.  Thereafter, each term loan is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest.  Interest on each term loan accrues at Amegy’s prime rate plus 1% or, at the Company’s option, a fixed rate determined by Amegy.  A fee of 0.5% of the total term loan facility was paid at closing.

The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries of the Company and are secured by a pledge of all of the stock of such subsidiaries as well as security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement contains various affirmative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to provide Amegy with certain financial statements, compliance statements, reports and other information.  The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement also contains various negative covenants which, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and restrict the ability of the Company to engage in certain activities.  The Company is in compliance with all covenants as of the reporting date.  If an event of default occurs under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, Amegy may terminate all commitments under the credit facilities and declare all unpaid principal, interest and other amounts owing under the credit facilities to be immediately due and payable.  As of September 25, 2011 the balance on the term loan facility was $0.7 million with an interest rate of 6% and the balance on the revolving credit facility was zero with an interest rate of 5%.
