In the event the Maximum Loan Amount is increased during the first year of this Loan and Security Agreement, an additional origination fee shall be charged on the amount of the increase, prorated from the date of the increase to the anniversary date of this Loan and Security Agreement. Any additional origination fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of the increase in the Maximum Loan Amount.

Interest shall not accrue on the Reserve and Borrower shall not be entitled to any interest on the Reserve. Lender shall have no obligation to segregate, not commingle, or otherwise account for the use of the Reserve, and Lender shall be free to use the Reserve as working capital or as Lender otherwise determines. From time to time and upon Borrower’s request, Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to release all or any portion of the Collected Reserve to Borrower. In addition, upon termination and payment in full of the Loan and all other obligations owing by Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents, any balance of the Reserve shall be paid to Borrower, provided that if Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that any collections or other payments received by Lender may be dishonored, voided, or preferential, or claims may be made against Lender for which Borrower would be liable, Lender may continue to hold the Reserve so long as such matters are outstanding and unresolved.
2.12 Excess Interest. It is the intent of the parties to comply with any usury law applicable to the Loan and to all amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents and it is understood and agreed that in no event and upon no contingency shall Borrower or any Guarantor be required to pay interest in excess of the rate allowed by any laws of any state which are determined to be applicable and governing. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, the Loan Documents shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under any applicable and governing usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction. In the event Lender receives any interest under the Loan Documents in excess of any highest permissible rate under any applicable and governing law, such excess interest (including simple interest thereon at the interest rate at the highest permissible rate which is applicable and governing) shall be promptly applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower. To the extent such excess interest is greater than the unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly remit such overage to Borrower.
3. Renewal of Loan Commitment Period; Termination of Loan. Each Loan Commitment Period shall automatically renew for an additional Loan Commitment Period unless Borrower or Lender provides written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the current Loan Commitment Period. If Borrower elects to terminate the Loan at any time other than the last day of a Loan Commitment Period, or if an Event of Default accelerates payment of the Loan or terminates the right of Borrower to receive advances hereunder, Borrower shall pay Lender an early termination fee calculated as follows: (a) if any such termination occurs during the first twelve (12) months from the date hereof, then the termination fee shall equal the greater of (i) two percent (2%) of the Maximum Loan Amount or (ii) the Monthly Minimum multiplied by the number of months, or portions thereof, remaining in the then current Loan Commitment Period, and (b) if any such termination occurs after the first twelve (12) months from the date hereof, then the termination fee shall equal the greater of (i) one and twenty-five hundredths percent (1.25%) of the Maximum Loan Amount or (ii) the Monthly Minimum multiplied by the number of months, or portions thereof, remaining in the then current Loan Commitment Period. The termination fee shall be due and payable in full upon such termination.
| 6 |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, in the event Borrower obtains Qualified Bank Financing after the first twelve (12) months from the Effective Date to replace the Loan, Lender shall waive the foregoing early termination fee so long as Borrower provides at least sixty (60) days written notice of its intent to replace the Loan with Qualified Bank Financing, which notice shall itemize the material financial terms of the Qualified Bank Financing. In the event Borrower provides Lender written notice of its intent to replace the Loan with Qualified Bank Financing, Lender may, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, provide written notice to Borrower that Lender will match the material financial terms of the proposed Qualified Bank Financing whereupon Lender and Borrower shall amend the Loan Documents, as necessary, to match the material financial terms of the proposed Qualified Bank Financing and the Loan Documents shall remain in force.
Upon any such non-renewal or termination of the Loan, all other terms and provisions of this Loan and Security Agreement, including, without limitation, the security interests granted in favor of Lender, shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts owing to Lender hereunder have been finally paid in full.
4. Security for Loan.
4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Lender a security interest in the Collateral.
