----------------------------------------------
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RANOR, INC., a Delaware corporation, with its chief
executive office and principal place of business at Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 (hereinafter called "Borrower") promises to pay to the
order of SOVEREIGN BANK, (hereinafter called "Lender") at its offices at 0000
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000 or at such other place as the holder
of this note may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of
ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00), or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all advances made by the Lender to the Borrower under terms hereinafter set
forth, whichever is less (the "Commitment Amount"), in lawful money of the
United States, to pay interest on each advance at the rate set forth below, and
to pay all taxes levied or assessed upon said principal sum against any holder
of this Note and all costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the
collection, defense, preservation, enforcement or protection of this Note or any
guaranty hereof, in the foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest now or
hereafter securing the same or in any proceedings to otherwise enforce or
protect this Note or any guaranty hereof or any security therefor. Interest on
this Note shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360)
days and actual days elapsed. All advances shall be due and payable as set forth
herein, but if not sooner paid, this note and all amounts due hereunder shall be
due and payable on June 30, 2007 (the "Termination Date").
(1) ADVANCES, NOTICE OF BORROWING. When the Borrower desires to borrow
hereunder, it shall give the Lender one (1) days' written notice specifying the
date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Banking Day (hereafter
defined)), and the amount to be borrowed. Any such notice shall be irrevocable
and shall be subject to Section 2(c) hereof. If any advance is made, the Lender
shall record on the books and records of the Lender an appropriate notation
evidencing such advance, each repayment on account of the principal thereof and
the amount of interest paid; and the Borrower authorizes the Lender to maintain
such records or make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the
books and records as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount
owing to the Lender pursuant to this Note, absent manifest error. Each Variable
Rate Advance shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Unless an Event
of Default has occurred the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow; and
provided, further, that all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid
interest shall be paid in full on the Termination Date.
(2) INTEREST RATE/PAYMENTS.
(a) Interest Rates, Payment of Interest. So long as no Event of Default
(hereafter defined) has occurred and subject to the terms hereof, each advance
hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the "Variable Rate") equal to
the Prime Rate (as hereafter defined) plus one (1.0%) percent (herein a
"Variable Rate Advance"). Interest on all Variable Rate Advances shall be
payable monthly beginning on the first Banking Day of the month following the
date of this Note, and continuing thereafter on the first Banking Day of each
succeeding month until the principal balance shall be paid in full.
(b) Automatic Payments. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to automatically
deduct from Borrower's account numbered [_______________] the amount of any loan
payment ("Automatic Payments"). If the funds in the account are insufficient to
cover any payment, Lender shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the
payment. At any time and for any reason, Borrower or Lender may voluntarily
terminate Automatic Payments. If any advance is made, the Lender shall record on
the books and records of the Lender an appropriate notation evidencing any
advance, each repayment on account of the principal thereof and the amount of
interest paid; and the Borrower authorizes the Lender to maintain such records
or make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the books and records
as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount owing to the Lender
pursuant to this Note, absent manifest error.
(3) DEFAULT RATE. To the extent allowed by applicable law, after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, after maturity or after judgement has been
rendered on this Note, Borrower's right to select pricing options shall cease
(if applicable) and all outstanding principal and unpaid interest shall bear,
until paid, interest at a rate per annum equal to two (2%) percentage points
greater than that which would otherwise be applicable (the "Default Rate").
Where Borrower would, but for the application of the preceding sentence, have
had the right to elect among interest rate options, the "Default Rate" shall
mean the Variable Rate plus two (2%) percentage points.
(4) LATE CHARGE. If a regularly scheduled payment is fifteen (15) days or
more late, Borrower will be charged 5.000% of the unpaid portion of the
regularly scheduled payment or $10.00, whichever is greater.
(5) EXPENSES. Borrower further promises to pay to the Lender, as incurred,
and as an additional part of the unpaid principal balance, all costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred (i) in the protection, modification,
collection, defense or enforcement of all or part of this Note or any guaranty
hereof as provided in the Loan Agreement, or (ii) in the foreclosure or
enforcement of any mortgage or security interest which may now or hereafter
secure either the debt hereunder or any guaranty thereof, or (iii) with respect
to any action taken to protect, defend, modify or sustain the lien of any such
mortgage or security agreement, or (iv) with respect to any litigation or
controversy arising from or connected with this Note or any mortgage or security
agreement or collateral which may now or hereafter secure this Note, or (v) as a
consequence of any default by Borrower to complete a borrowing or (vi) with
respect to any act to protect defend, modify, enforce or release any of its
rights or remedies with regard to, or otherwise effect collection of, any
collateral which may now or in the future secure this Note or with regard to or
against Borrower or any endorser, guarantor or surety of this Note.
(6) DEFINITIONS. (a) "Banking Day" shall mean with respect to Variable
Rate Advances, any day other than a day on which commercial lenders in the
Governing State are required or permitted by law to close.
(b) "Governing State" shall mean the state where Lender's offices are
located as set forth in the first paragraph of this Note.
(c) "Loan Documents" shall mean any and all agreements, instruments,
documents, security agreements, mortgages, financing statements, and supplements
thereto and relating to the Loan, or entered into between the Borrower or
Guarantor (hereafter defined) in favor of, or with, the Lender, at any time, for
any purpose.
(d) "Obligations" shall mean all loans, advances, debts, liabilities,
obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Lender of every
kind and description (whether or not evidenced by any note or other instrument
and whether or not for the payment of money), direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or
not such obligations are related to the transaction described in this Loan
Agreement, by class, or kind, or whether or not contemplated by the parties at
the time of the granting of this security interest, including without
limitation, all interest, fees, charges, expenses and attorneys' fees chargeable
to the Borrower or incurred by the Lender in connection with the Borrower's
account whether provided for herein or in any Loan Document.
(e) The term "Prime Rate" means the variable per annum rate of interest so
designated from time to time by the Lender as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is
a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate
being charged to any customer. The rate of interest hereunder shall change
simultaneously and automatically, without further notice, upon the Lender's
determination and designation from time to time of the Prime Rate. The Lender's
determination and designation from time to time of the Prime Rate shall not in
any way preclude the Lender from making loans to other borrowers at rates that
are higher or lower than or different from the referenced rate.
(f) "Variable Rate Advance" shall have the meaning set forth in paragraph
2(a) hereof.
(9) PREPAYMENT. The Borrower shall be required to prepay ON DEMAND all
advances made under this Note to the extent the aggregate of all such advances
exceeds the amounts permitted hereunder. In addition the Borrower shall pay, if
applicable, charges incurred pursuant to the terms hereof.
All payments will be applied first to the payment of late charges, then to
accrued and unpaid interest due and owing and the balance on account of the
unpaid principal of this Note.
Borrower may terminate the Revolving Loan evidenced by this Note at any
time provided the applicable Prepayment Consideration (as defined below) is
tendered at termination. The "Prepayment Consideration" shall be (a) during the
first year of this loan, three (3%) percent of Commitment Amount; and (b) during
the second year of this loan, two (2%) percent of the Commitment Amount.
(10) DEFAULT. The happening of any of the following events or conditions
shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note:
1. Failure to make any payment of principal or interest or any sum due
under this Note within fifteen (15) days of the date when the same shall be due
and payable; or
2. Default by the Borrower in the payment or performance of any obligation
on its part to be paid or performed, or breached by the Borrower of any
representation, warranty, term, covenant or condition of or under any agreements
between the Lender and the Borrower including, without limitation, any default
or Event of Default under that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated of even
date herewith, as the same may be amended, modified, extended or restated or in
any documents or instruments referred to in said agreements, and without
limitation any default or Event of Default under that certain Term Promissory
Note given by Borrower to Lender of even date herewith as the same may be
amended, modified extended or restated.
3. Termination of this loan and line of credit for any reason prior to the
Termination Date.
Upon and after an Event of Default, the availability of advances hereunder
shall, at the option of the Lender, be deemed to be automatically terminated
and, at its option, the whole of said indebtedness, both principal and interest,
and including any other sums which may become due under this Note, shall, at the
option of the holder of this Note, immediately become due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, or other notice of dishonor of
any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
(12) WAIVERS, CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Borrower agrees that no delay
or failure on the part of the holder in exercising any power, privilege, remedy,
option or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other
power, privilege, remedy or right; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any power, privilege, remedy, option or right hereunder preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, privilege, remedy,
option or right. The rights and remedies expressed herein are cumulative, and
may be enforced successively, alternately, or concurrently and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies which holder may or would otherwise have under the
provisions of all applicable laws, and under the provisions of all agreements
between the Borrower and the Lender.
The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all
other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note. The Borrower hereby assents to
any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to
the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable,
and to the addition, release and/or substitution of all or any portion of any
collateral now or hereafter securing this Note.
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay and Lender shall not collect
interest at a rate higher than the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that
will not subject Lender to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the
acceleration of maturity the payment of interest in advance or any other reason,
Borrower is required, under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, to
pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest
under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such
maximum rate and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate shall be
applied to principal outstanding hereunder or, if required by applicable law,
shall be returned to Borrower.
Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other security document(s)
which is not of public record and, in the case of any such loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other
document(s), the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or
other document(s) in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like
tenor.
This Note is subject to and secured by the collateral set forth in the
Loan Agreement dated February 24, 2006, as amended by the First Amendment of
even date herewith, which, inter alia, contains waivers and consents of the
Borrower including, without limitation, waivers of jury trial, setoff rights and
Lender's right to sell all or portions of the loan evidenced hereby.
This Note amends and restates a certain Revolving Promissory Note dated
February 24, 2006.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the Governing State.
