On February 21, 2014, Torotel Products refinanced its mortgage note under the agreement with the Bank. No cash proceeds were received as a result of the refinancing. Prepayment of the new note up to $100,000 per year is allowed without penalty so long as these funds are generated through internal cash flow and not borrowed from a separate financial institution. The new note is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities of Torotel Products and is secured by a first real estate mortgage on the property located at 620 North Lindenwood Drive in Olathe, Kansas.

 

The working capital revolving line of credit, which is available for working capital purposes, is renewable annually.  The associated interest rate is equal to the greater of the floating Commerce Bank Prime Rate (currently 4.25%)or a floor of 4% (as listed above).  Monthly repayments of interest only are required with the principal due at maturity.  The maximum borrowing of this line of credit is $500,000.  This revolving line of credit is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other credit facilities and arrangements of Torotel Products with the Bank and is secured by a first lien on all business assets of Torotel Products.

Monthly repayments of interest only are required with the principal due at maturity. The maximum borrowing of this line of credit is $500,000. This facility is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities and is secured by a first lien on the building located at 620 North Lindenwood Drive in Olathe, Kansas.

 

The equipment note is a guidance line of credit to be used for equipment purchases. Monthly repayments consisting of both interest and principal are required. This note is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other facilities of Torotel Products and is secured by a purchase money security interest in the assets purchased as well as a first lien on all business assets of Torotel Products.  The maximum borrowing of this line of credit is $500,000.
