Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Sale Lease-Back

On November 6, 2013, Dataram Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a financing arrangement with David Sheerr (“Sheerr”), an executive officer of the Company, structured as a sale lease-back. Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company sold certain equipment and furniture located at its facility at 130 Corporate Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936 (the “Montgomeryville Facility”) to Sheerr in consideration for a reduction of $500,000 in the remaining principal balance of an outstanding promissory note owed to Sheerr, which promissory note was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Note and Security Agreement”). As additional security for the Amended and Restated Note and Security Agreement, the Company collaterally assigned to Sheerr its lease to the Montgomeryville Facility pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of Tenant’s Interest in Lease (the “Collateral Assignment”). The Amended and Restated Note and Security Agreement and the Collateral Assignment are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Simultaneously, the Company leased the equipment and furniture back from Sheerr pursuant to an Equipment and Furniture Lease Agreement (the “Lease”). The Lease has a 5 year term, and provides the Company with the option to extend the term for an additional 2 years. The monthly lease payments that the Company is obligated to pay under the terms of the lease is approximately $7,500. Sheerr will retain possession of the equipment and furniture upon termination of the Lease. The Lease is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Financing Agreement

On November 6, 2013, the Company entered into a new financing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. The Financing Agreement provides for a revolving loan with a maximum borrowing capacity of $3,500,000. The loans under the Financing Agreement mature on November 30, 2016 unless such Financing Statement is either earlier terminated or renewed. Loans outstanding under the Financing Agreement will bear interest at a rate of the Prime Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 3.25% (the “Effective Rate”) or on Over-advances (as defined in the Financing Agreement), if any, at a rate of the Effective Rate plus 3%. The Financing Agreement contains other restrictive covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, guarantee obligations, sell assets, make loans, enter into mergers and acquisition transactions and declare or make dividends. Borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company.

The Financing Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The key terms of the Sale Lease-Back and the Financing Agreement are described in a press release which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Financing Agreement to repay in full all amounts due under the prior Amended and Restated Schedule to Loan and Security Agreement dated May 17, 2012 between Crestmark Capital Lending LLC and the Company (the “Prior Loan Agreement”). Upon such repayment, the Prior Loan Agreement was terminated.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Section 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

EXHIBIT 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 31, 2013, by and among David Sheerr, whose principal address is 130 Corporate Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936 (“Sheerr”) and Dataram Corporation (“Dataram”), whose principal address is Route 571, P.O. Box 7528, Princeton, NJ 08543-7528.

 

WHEREAS, Dataram entered into a Note and Security Agreement dated as of December 14, 2011 in which Dataram borrowed from Sheerr, and Sheerr lent to Dataram, the sum of $2,000,000.00 (the “Original Loan”) upon the terms and conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, Dataram wishes to sell to Sheerr, and Sheerr wishes to purchase from Dataram, certain equipment and furniture of Dataram for a purchase price of $500,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”);

WHEREAS, Dataram desires to use the proceeds of the Purchase Price received from Sheerr to reduce the remaining principal amount of the Original Loan by an amount equal to $500,000.00 and Sheerr desires to amend and restate the Original Loan to reflect the same; and

WHEREAS, Dataram is willing to grant to Sheerr a second priority security interest as described below in the Collateral (as defined herein) in connection with this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.Loan. Dataram does hereby promise to pay to the order of Sheerr the sum of $966,666.57 in the manner hereinafter specified. Dataram shall pay from the date hereof interest at the fixed rate of 10.00% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year, on the remaining unpaid principal balance. Accrued interest shall be payable monthly on the 15th day of each month, or the next business day if such date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday for banks located in New Jersey. Principal shall be payable in 29 equal monthly installments of $33,333.33, beginning on November 15, 2013 and subsequently on the 15th day of each month thereafter (or the next business day if such date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday for banks located in New Jersey) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal and all accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable, in full, upon Sheerr's termination of employment by Dataram or his assignment to an office of Dataram other than 130 Corporate Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936. Dataram may prepay any or all sums due under this Agreement at any time without penalty. All payments shall be made to Sheerr at the address listed above or at such other address or wire instructions as Sheerr shall designate in writing.
 
 

 

2.Grant of Security Interest. In order to secure the obligations of Dataram to repay the Loan, interest thereon, and any other sums payable by Dataram to Sheerr (the “Payment Obligations”), Dataram hereby assigns, grants and pledges to Sheerr a second priority security interest in (i) all of Dataram's physical assets, now existing or hereafter acquired, including but not limited to all goods, inventory, equipment, furniture and fixtures, (ii) all of Dataram's accounts receivable, now existing or hereafter acquired and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case as such terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New Jersey (collectively, the “Collateral”); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt the parties agree that the Collateral shall not include, and Sheerr acknowledges that it shall have no security interest in, Dataram's intellectual property, including but not limited to patents, trademarks and copyrights. The security interest granted to Sheerr herein shall be subordinated to the R&R Security Interest (as defined below) described in Section 3 below. Dataram will not, without the prior written consent of Sheerr, other than in the ordinary course of business (i) sell, assign or transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) any Collateral or (ii) move any Collateral.

 

3.Preservation and Protection of Security Interest. (a) Dataram represents and warrants that it has, and covenants and agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement, it will have, good and marketable title to the Collateral from time to time owned or acquired by it free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, charges or other encumbrances, except for (i) the security interest granted to Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. (“R&R”) under the Security Agreement, dated November 6, 2013, as amended to date and as may be further amended from time to time, except as provided in Section 3(b) below (the “R&R Security Interest”), which is a first priority security interest to which Sheerr agrees the security interest granted under this Agreement is subordinated, and (ii) those in favor of Sheerr, and shall defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all other persons, firms and entities whomsoever. Dataram covenants and agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of Sheerr (except for the existing R&R Security Interest) (i) borrow against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral from any other person, firm or entity, (ii) grant or create or permit to attach or exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge or other encumbrance, or security interest on, of or in any of the collateral or any portion of the Collateral except those in favor of Sheerr, (iii) permit any levy or attachment to be made against the Collateral or any portion of the Collateral or (iv) permit any financing statements to be on file with respect to any of the Collateral, except financing statements in favor of Sheerr. Dataram shall faithfully preserve and protect Sheerr's security interest in the Collateral and shall at its own cost and expense, cause that security interest to be perfected and continue to be perfected so long as the Loan or any portion of the Loan is outstanding, unpaid or executor. For purposes of the perfection of Sheerr's security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, Dataram shall from time to time at the request of Sheerr file or record, or cause to be filed or recorded,
2
 

 

such instruments, documents and notices, including assignments, financing statements and continuation statements (including, without limitation, financing statements filed in the State of New Jersey), as Sheerr may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and continue perfected such security interest. Dataram shall do all such other acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other instruments and documents, including further security agreements, pledges, endorsements, assignments and notices, as Sheerr in his reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or advisable from time to time in order to perfect and preserve the relative priority of such security interest in the Collateral prior to the rights of all third persons, firms and entities, except as is otherwise provided in this Agreement. Dataram irrevocably appoints Sheerr (and any of Sheerr’s designated agents) as the attorney-in-fact of Dataram to do all acts and things which may reasonably deem necessary or advisable from time to time to preserve, perfect and continue perfected Sheerr's security interest in the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, signing any financing statements or amendments to financing statements evidencing Sheerr's security interest in the Collateral for and on behalf of Dataram. Dataram agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed instead of the original.

 

(b) Dataram represents and warrants that the existing R&R Loan and Security Agreement authorizes Dataram to borrow no more than 90% of its domestic receivables or 50% of its foreign receivables, up to a maximum of $500,000 in the aggregate, and that it will not amend such percentage, pledge additional collateral to R&R or increase the aggregate amount to be borrowed from R&R without the prior written consent of Sheerr, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

 

4.Default. If any of the sums of principal or interest mentioned herein are not promptly paid when due and such failure continues for a period of five days, or if each and every agreement, stipulation, condition and covenant of this Agreement are not fully performed, complied with or abided by, or if Dataram shall file or have a petition filed against it under any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or otherwise admits in writing a failure to pay debts as they fall due (an “Event of Default”), then any Payment Obligations shall at the option of the holder hereof become, at once due and collectible without notice, time being of the essence. Failure to exercise this option shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same in the event of any continuing or subsequent default. Dataram hereby waives presentment, protest, notice of protest and notice of dishonor and agrees to pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees whether suit be brought or not, if, after the date any payment is due hereunder or a default has occurred hereunder, counsel shall be employed to collect any Payment Obligations or to protect the security of the Collateral.
3
 

 

5.Rights and Remedies of a Secured Party. Subject to the R&R Security interest and the rights of R&R, Sheerr shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New Jersey in addition to such other rights and remedies which Sheerr may have at law or in equity or under this Agreement.

 

6.Continuing Obligations; Remedies, etc., Cumulative. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral, and all covenants and agreements of Dataram shall survive until payment in full of all Payment Obligations. This Agreement shall be binding upon Dataram and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Sheerr and his respective heirs and assigns. Each right, power and remedy of Sheerr provided for in this Agreement, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, shall be cumulative, and may be exercised cumulatively or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

7.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

8.Governing Law; Terms. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to principles of conflict of laws, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of the Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New Jersey.

 

9.Judicial Proceedings, Jury Trial Waiver. Any judicial proceeding brought with, respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Mercer County, the State of New Jersey and each party hereto hereby waives any objection that they may have to the laying of venue in any such court or that any such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have personal jurisdiction over them. Each party hereto agrees that service of process may be made upon it or him by mailing a copy of said process to such party, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at its address set forth herein. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR ANY DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. No failure or delay on the part of Sheerr in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a
4
 

 

waiver thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Sheerr hereunder; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other right, remedy, power or privilege or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

10.Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to (i) execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such other and further agreements, documents and instruments (including, but not limited to, any UCC financing statements, amendments or continuations thereto or terminations thereof) and (ii) take or cause to be taken all such actions as the other party may reasonably request to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Agreement.

COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF TENANT’S INTEREST IN LEASE

This Collateral Assignment of Tenant’s Interest in Lease (the “Collateral Assignment”) is entered into by, between and among Dataram Corporation, a New Jersey corporation, (“Dataram”), Nappen & Associates, a Pennsylvania limited partnership t/a/ 309 Developers Company (“Landlord”), and David Sheerr (“Lender”) as of this 6th day of November, 2013.

 

BACKGROUND

 

On December 14, 2011, Lender made a loan to Dataram in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Loan”) in exchange for which Dataram executed and delivered to Lender a note and security agreement. Subject to the first priority lien and security interest of Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., Lender was also granted a continuing security interest in all of Dataram’s physical assets, then existing or thereafter acquired, located at 130 Corporate Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936 (the “Premises”), including, but not limited to, all goods, inventory, equipment, furniture and fixtures. The business operated at the Premises was a division of Dataram managed by Lender which Dataram had previously purchased from Lender when it was known as Micro Memory Bank, Inc. (“MMB”).

MMB had entered into a lease with Landlord for the Premises dated December 31, 2000, which lease was renewed on February 13, 2006, and then assigned by MMB to Dataram on March 31, 2009. Thereafter, Dataram entered into a Lease Renewal Agreement for the Premises with Landlord dated February 10, 2011 (the “Lease”). Lender and Dataram desire to amend and restate the Loan and have entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Amended Loan”). Lender desires to be granted this Collateral Assignment and the protections contained herein upon a default by Dataram under the Lease or the Amended Loan. Dataram and Landlord wish to enter into this Collateral Assignment to perfect the promise made in the Amended Loan to assign the Premises to Lender in the event of a default under the Amended Loan.

 
 

NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Amended Loan, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Dataram, Landlord and Lender hereby agree as follows:

1.     Collateral Assignment. Dataram hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Lender all of Dataram’s right, title, and interest as the tenant or lessee in, to and under the Lease and any renewals, extensions, novations or substitutes thereof and in and to the Premises, including, but not limited to, the right of use and occupancy of the Premises under the Lease; provided, however, that so long as Dataram shall not be in default of any of its obligations to Lender under the Lease or the Amended Loan, Dataram shall continue to enjoy all the rights and privileges of lessee under the Lease. Dataram warrants and represents that a true, accurate, current and complete copy of the Lease, as renewed and amended, is attached as Exhibit A hereto.

2.     Purpose of Assignment. This Collateral Assignment is given as additional collateral for the purpose of securing the performance and discharge by Dataram of each and every obligation, covenant, duty and agreement contained in the Amended Loan. Upon the repayment in full of the Amended Loan, this Collateral Assignment shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.

3.     Covenants of Dataram and Landlord. Dataram and Landlord covenant with Lender to observe and perform all of the obligations imposed upon them under the Lease. Dataram shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the existence and validity of the Lease or the security of Lender hereunder. Dataram shall not execute or permit any other sublease or assignment of Dataram’s interest under the Lease; and not to modify or amend the Lease in any respect without Lender’s prior written consent. Dataram covenants to preserve its rights as the tenant under the Lease. Any actions taken in violation of this Paragraph 3 shall be void at Lender’s option, provided that Landlord shall be entitled to assume that any amendment asserted by Dataram has been approved by Lender and shall remain in full force and effect.

4.     Default. Upon or at any time after default in the performance of the Amended Loan and/or the Lease by Dataram, Lender may, at its option, without in any way waiving such default, upon five (5) days notice to Dataram and Landlord, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, take possession of the Premises as the tenant under the Lease and, subject to the terms of the Lease (as modified pursuant to the terms of this Collateral Assignment) have, hold, use, occupy, lease, sublease, assign or operate the Premises on such terms and for such period of time as Lender may deem proper. Dataram shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims, actions, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising (i) out of Dataram’s failure to perform under the Lease or any breach by Dataram of the Lease or of this Collateral Assignment, and (ii) in connection with the Lease prior to Lender’s taking possession of the Premises pursuant to this Paragraph 4. The exercise by Lender of the option granted it in this Paragraph 4 shall not be considered a waiver by Lender of any default by Dataram of the Amended Loan. If Lender exercises its option to take possession of the Premises as the tenant under the Lease, then Lender shall cover Dataram’s monetary defaults and Dataram shall be liable to Lender for all such amounts.

2
 

5.     Landlord’s Agreements.

(a)     Consent. Landlord executes this Collateral Assignment in order to give its consent to the assignment granted herein and to covenant that in the event of a default by Dataram under the Lease, Landlord will give Lender written notice thereof and will permit Lender to exercise, within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of all cure periods for such default under the Lease, its rights under Paragraph 4 hereof to occupy and use the Premises as the tenant under the Lease (as modified pursuant to the terms of this Collateral Assignment). Landlord agrees that Dataram, and not Lender or its sublessees, successors or assigns, shall be responsible for all obligations and liabilities of the tenant under the Lease prior to the occupation and use of the Premises by Lender. This Collateral Assignment is hereby incorporated by reference into the Lease and shall bind Landlord and any and all successors of Landlord in title to the Premises, and Landlord agrees, as a condition to the effectiveness of any transfer of any title to the Premises, to obtain a written agreement from the transferee that the transferee shall be bound hereby.

(b)     Dataram Improvements. Upon the termination of the Lease for any reason, Lender shall be entitled, within thirty (30) days after any such termination, to delete or remove any signs and other improvements containing any trademarks, service marks, symbols, logos, emblems and other distinctive features, so long as Lender promptly repairs, at its sole expense, any damage caused thereby.

6.     Governing Law. This Collateral Assignment is to be construed in all respects and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

7.     This document may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single original.

LEASE

 

1. LEASE. Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the equipment and furniture described above on the terms and conditions hereof (the equipment and furniture with all replacements, upgrades, substitutions, accessions, additions, replacement parts and repairs is herein called the “Equipment and Furniture”). In the event Lessee does not unconditionally accept the Equipment and Furniture by signing Lessor's delivery and acceptance receipt (the “Delivery and Acceptance Receipt”) within ten (10) days of the date Lessor provides the Equipment and Furniture to Lessee, Lessor may cancel this Lease and any obligation to Lessee hereunder. Lessee authorizes Lessor to insert the serial numbers of the Equipment and Furniture and other omitted factual matters when determined by Lessor.

 

2. NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR; CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EXCLUDED.

 

2.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. Lessee acknowledges that: Lessor is not the manufacturer of the Equipment and Furniture nor the manufacturer's agent nor a dealer therein; the Equipment and Furniture is of a size, design, capacity, description and manufacture selected by the Lessee; Lessee is satisfied that the Equipment and Furniture is suitable and fit for its purposes; and LESSOR HAS NOT MADE AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE FITNESS, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, DESIGN OR OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE, ITS FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, THE QUALITY OR CAPACITY OF THE MATERIALS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE OR WORKMANSHIP IN THE EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE, LESSOR'S TITLE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE, NOR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER; Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for any loss, damage, or expense of any kind or nature caused, directly or indirectly, by the Equipment and Furniture or the use or maintenance thereof or the failure or operation thereof, or the repair, service or adjustment thereof, or by any delay or failure to provide any such maintenance, repairs, service or adjustment, or by any interruption of service or loss of use thereof or for any loss of business howsoever caused. Lessor shall not be liable for any consequential damages as that term is used in Uniform Commercial Code § 2A503(c). No defect or unfitness of the Equipment and Furniture shall relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay any installment of rent or any other obligation under this Lease. Lessor shall have no obligation under this Lease in respect of the Equipment and Furniture and shall have no obligation to ship, deliver, assemble, install, erect, test, adjust or service the Equipment and Furniture. Lessor agrees, so long as there shall not have occurred or be continuing any Event of Default as defined in Section 13, or event which with lapse of time or notice, or both, might become an Event of Default hereunder, that Lessor will permit Lessee, as Lessee's sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, to enforce in Lessee's own name and at Lessee's sole expense any manufacturer's warranty or agreement in respect of the Equipment and Furniture to the extent that such warranty or agreement is assignable.

2.2 Exclusion of Consequential Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, LESSOR SHALL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE TO LESSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY, FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, WHETHER IN ACTION BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, OR BENEFITS OF USE OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF LESSOR IS APPRISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OCCURRING.

 

IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH AND EVERY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES, IS INTENDED BY THE PARTIES TO BE SEVERABLE FROM ANY OTHER PROVISION AND IS A SEPARABLE AND INDEPENDENT ELEMENT OF RISK ALLOCATION AND IS INTENDED TO BE ENFORCED AS SUCH.

 

3. NON-CANCELABLE LEASE. THIS LEASE CANNOT BE CANCELLED BY LESSEE DURING THE TERM HEREOF. Lessee's obligations under this Lease including, without limitation, the obligation to pay rent, are absolute and unconditional and shall continue without any claim, defense, set-off, counterclaim, reduction or abatement of any kind whatsoever and regardless of any disability of Lessee to use the Equipment and Furniture or any part thereof because of any reason whatsoever.

 

4. TERM AND RENT. The term of this Lease shall commence as of the date the Lease is accepted by Lessor and shall continue for a period of five (5) years (the “Initial Term”). At the end of the Initial Term, Lessee shall have the sole option to extend the Lease for an additional two (2) years (the “Option Term”) upon the conditions and terms stated herein by notifying Lessee of its intention to do so in writing not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term. For the avoidance of doubt, the Equipment and Furniture shall at all times remain the property of Lessor and Lessee shall have no right or property interest therein but only the right to use same under this Lease. The rent payments shall commence on the date that Lessee unconditionally accepts the Equipment and Furniture by signing the Delivery and Acceptance Receipt (the “Rent Commencement Date”). Advance rentals shall not be refundable if the Rent Commencement Date does not occur for any reason. Any security deposit shall secure the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and, unless earlier applied, shall be refunded to Lessee, without interest, at the satisfactory expiration of the Lease. Installments of rent shall be payable monthly in advance as stated above, the first such installment being due on the Rent Commencement Date, or such later date as Lessor designates in writing, and subsequent payments shall be due on the same day of each successive month until all rent and other obligations or expenses chargeable to Lessee hereunder shall have been paid in full. All rent shall be payable to Lessor at the address provided herein or such other address as designated by Lessor in writing.

 

5. ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR; WAIVER OF DEFENSES; NO ASSIGNMENT BY LESSEE. Lessor may, without notice to or consent by Lessee, assign this Lease, any rentals, or any other sums due or to become due hereunder, or transfer or grant a security interest in any of the Equipment and Furniture, and in such event Lessor's assignee or secured party shall have all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lessor hereunder. No assignee shall be bound to perform any duty, covenant, condition or warranty of Lessor. Lessee agrees not to raise any claim or defense which Lessee may have against Lessor arising out of this Lease or otherwise as a defense, counterclaim or offset to any action by assignee or secured party hereunder. Lessee agrees that after receipt by Lessee of written notice of an assignment from Lessor or from Lessor's assignee, all rent and other amounts which are then and thereafter due under this Lease shall be paid to such assignee at the place of payment designated in such notice. Lessee shall not assign this Lease or any interest hereunder or in the Equipment and Furniture nor enter into any sublease with respect to any of the Equipment and Furniture without Lessor's prior written consent. Any purported assignment or sublease by Lessee without the prior written consent of Lessor shall be void.

6. TITLE; QUIET ENJOYMENT. Title to the Equipment and Furniture shall at all times be vested in Lessor. All documents of title and evidences of delivery shall be delivered to Lessor. Lessee authorizes Lessor, at Lessee's expense, to cause this Lease, or any statement or other instrument in respect of this Lease showing the interest of Lessor in the Equipment and Furniture, including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, to be filed or recorded, and appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact with the right and power to sign Lessee's name thereto. Lessee agrees to execute or procure for Lessor such estoppel certificates, landlord's or mortgagee's waivers or other documents as Lessor may request to confirm or perfect Lessor's right in the Equipment and Furniture or to otherwise effectuate the intents of this Lease. Lessee agrees to pay or reimburse Lessor for any filing, recording or stamp fees or taxes arising from the filing or recording of any such instrument or statement. Lessee shall, at its expense, protect and defend Lessor's title against all persons claiming against or through Lessee, keep the Equipment and Furniture free from legal process or encumbrance, give Lessor immediate notice thereof and shall indemnify Lessor from any loss caused thereby. So long as Lessee is not in default hereunder, Lessee shall quietly use and enjoy the Equipment and Furniture, subject to the terms hereof. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor a fee for lease documentation and processing and for any governmental filings.

 

7. CARE, USE AND LOCATION. Lessee shall maintain the Equipment and Furniture in good operating condition, repair and appearance, and protect it from deterioration other than normal wear and tear; use the Equipment and Furniture in the regular course of its business, within its normal operating capacity, without abuse; comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, requirements and rules with respect to the use, maintenance and operation of the Equipment and Furniture; use the Equipment and Furniture solely for business purposes; not make any modification, alteration or addition to the Equipment and Furniture without the written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; not affix the Equipment and Furniture (which shall remain personal property at all times regardless of how attached or installed) to realty so as to change its nature to real property or a fixture; and keep the Equipment and Furniture at the location shown herein, and not remove the Equipment and Furniture without the written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessee, at its sole expense, shall enter into and maintain in force, for the term of this Lease and any schedule thereto, any maintenance contracts required by the manufacturer of the Equipment and Furniture, and shall provide to Lessor a copy of such contract and all supplements thereto. If Lessee enters into such maintenance contract with a party other than the manufacturer of the Equipment and Furniture, Lessee shall, at its sole expense, and no later than thirty (30) days prior to returning the Equipment and Furniture to Lessor, have the manufacturer recertify the Equipment and Furniture, as applicable, at the expiration of this Lease or any renewals or extensions thereof. The term of this Lease shall continue upon the same terms and conditions until such recertification has been obtained.

 

8. TAXES. Lessee intends the rent payments hereunder to be net to Lessor, and Lessee agrees to pay all sales, use, excise, personal property, stamp, documentary and ad valorem taxes, license and registration fees, assessments, fines, penalties, property tax processing fees, and similar charges imposed on the ownership, possession or use of the Equipment and Furniture during the term of this Lease, and all taxes imposed on Lessor or Lessee (except Lessor's federal or state net income taxes) with respect to the rent payments hereunder or the Equipment and Furniture, and shall reimburse Lessor upon demand for any such amounts paid or advanced by Lessor. Unless otherwise directed, in writing, by Lessee, Lessor shall file all personal property tax returns with respect to the Equipment and Furniture, and pay all taxes due thereon.

9. INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against all claims, losses, liabilities (including negligence, tort and strict liability), damages, judgments, suits, and all legal proceedings, and any and all costs and expenses in connection therewith (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any manner connected with the manufacture, purchase, financing, ownership, delivery, rejection, non-delivery, possession, use, transportation, storage, operation, maintenance, repair, return or other disposition of the Equipment and Furniture or with this Lease, including, without limitation, (a) claims for injury to or death of persons and for damage to property, (b) claims relating to patent, copyright, or trademark infringement, and (c) claims relating to latent or other defects in the Equipment and Furniture whether or not discoverable by Lessor. Lessee agrees to give Lessor prompt notice of any such claim or liability.

 

10. RISK OF LOSS. Lessee shall bear all risks of loss of and damage to the Equipment and Furniture from any cause. The occurrence of such loss or damage shall not relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder. In the event of loss or damage, Lessee, at Lessor's option, shall: (a) place the damaged Equipment and Furniture in good repair, condition and working order, or (b) replace lost or damaged Equipment and Furniture with new equipment and furniture of the same type and model and deliver to Lessor documentation vesting clear title thereto in Lessor.

 

11. INSURANCE. Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole cost and expense, keep the Equipment and Furniture insured against all risks of loss or damage from every cause whatsoever for not less than the full replacement cost thereof. Lessee shall also obtain and maintain in effect throughout the term, public liability insurance, covering both personal injury and property damage arising out of or in connection with the use or operation of the Equipment and Furniture. All insurance shall be in such form and for such amounts, and issued by such companies, as shall be acceptable to Lessor and shall name Lessor and Lessor's assignee or secured party as loss payees with respect to the casualty coverage and as additional insured with respect to the public liability coverage and shall provide that the insurance company will give Lessor and Lessor's assignee at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of the effective date of any alteration or cancellation of such policy. Lessee shall, upon Lessor's request, deliver to Lessor satisfactory evidence of the required insurance coverage. Insurance proceeds as a result of loss or damage to any of the Equipment and Furniture shall be applied to satisfy Lessee's obligation set forth in Section 10 hereof. Lessee irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee's attorney-in-fact to make a claim for, receive payment of and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts received in payment for loss or damage under any such insurance policy.

 

12. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. If requested by Lessor, Lessee agrees to deliver to Lessor annual and interim financial statements.

 

13. DEFAULT. Each of the following events is an “Event of Default”: (a) Lessee's failure to pay, when due, any rent or any other payment hereunder; or (b) Lessee's failure to perform any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice; or (c) without Lessor's consent, Lessee attempts to remove, sell, transfer, encumber, part with possession, or sublet any item of Equipment and Furniture; or (d) any representation, whether contained herein or in any guaranty, application, financial statement or other document delivered to Lessee in connection with this Lease, shall be untrue in any material respect; or (e) Lessee becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or enters into a composition agreement with its creditors; or (f) a receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Lessee's assets is appointed with or without the application or consent of Lessee; or (g) a petition is filed by or against Lessee under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other insolvency law or laws providing for the relief of debtors.

14. REMEDIES.

 

14.1 If an Event of Default occurs, Lessor may, with or without cancelling this Lease, exercise all remedies available to Lessor under applicable law and without limiting the foregoing, (a) recover from Lessee all rent and other payments which are due and unpaid; (b) at any time, declare immediately due and payable the aggregate of all rent and other payments which are payable under the Lease; and (c) require Lessee to assemble the Equipment and Furniture at the expiration of the term of this Lease; and (d) require Lessee to assemble the Equipment and Furniture and make it available to Lessor at a place to be designated by Lessor or without notice of any kind to Lessee, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, enter into the premises where the Equipment and Furniture is located and take possession of, and remove, the Equipment and Furniture, without liability to Lessee arising out of such entry, taking possession or removal. Lessor may, at its option, store, use, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the removed Equipment and Furniture but is not required to dispose of the Equipment and Furniture.

 

14.2 If Lessee fails to comply with any provision of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effect compliance on behalf of Lessee upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessee. In such event all monies expended by Lessor, and all expenses of Lessor in effecting such compliance, shall be deemed to be additional rent, and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor at the time of the next monthly payment.

 

14.3 Lessee shall also be liable for and shall pay to Lessor (a) all expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the enforcement of any Lessor's remedies, (b) Lessor's reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, and (c) interest on all sums due Lessor from the date when the sums become due until paid, at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month but only to the extent permitted by law.

 

14.4 When any payment is not made by Lessee when due, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, not later than one month thereafter, in addition to all amounts payable by Lessee as a result of the exercise of any of the remedies herein provided, an amount calculated at the rate of five cents ($0.05) per one dollar ($1.00) of each such delayed payment, as an administrative fee to offset Lessor's collection costs, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

 

14.5 All remedies of Lessor are cumulative, are in addition to any other remedies provided for by law, and may, to the extent permitted by law, be exercised concurrently. The exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed an election of such remedy or preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of Lessor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or modify the terms of this Lease. In no event shall Lessor's recovery exceed the maximum recovery permitted by law.

 

14.6 If this Lease is deemed at any time to be one intended as security, Lessee hereby grants Lessor a security interest in the Equipment and Furniture and agrees that the Equipment and Furniture shall secure, in addition to the indebtedness set forth herein, indebtedness at any time owing by Lessee to Lessor.

 

15. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Lessee will cooperate with Lessor for the purpose of protecting the interest of Lessor in the Equipment and Furniture, this Lease and the sums due under this Lease, including, without limitation, the execution of all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements requested by Lessor. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor and/or its assignee and any officers, employees, or agents designated by Lessor or its assignee as Lessee's attorney, coupled with an interest, to sign and file, on behalf of Lessee (without the signature of Lessee), one or more Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, precautionary or otherwise, as appropriate, disclosing Lessor's or its assignee's interest in the Equipment and Furniture, this Lease and the sums due under this Lease.

16. REDELIVERY OF EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Lessee shall return the Equipment and Furniture, freight prepaid, to Lessor in good repair, condition and working order, in a manner and to a location designated by Lessor. If upon such expiration or termination, Lessee does not immediately return the Equipment and Furniture to Lessor, the Equipment and Furniture shall continue to be held and leased hereunder, and this Lease shall thereupon be extended from month to month at the same monthly rent, subject to the right of either Lessee or Lessor to terminate the Lease upon thirty (30) days' written notice, whereupon Lessee shall forthwith deliver the Equipment and Furniture to Lessor as provided in this paragraph. This Lease shall remain effective on a month-to-month basis on the same terms and conditions and the rent shall be due and payable until the Equipment and Furniture is returned to Lessor.

 

17. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; CHANGES. This Lease and any schedules contain the entire agreement between the parties and may not be altered, amended, modified, terminated or otherwise changed except in a writing signed by Lessor and Lessee.

 

18. NOTICE. All notices under this Lease shall be sufficient if given personally or mailed to the party intended at its respective address set forth herein, or at such other address as said party may provide in writing from time to time. Any such notice mailed to said address shall be effective when deposited in the United States mail duly addressed, postage prepaid.

 

19. BINDING EFFECT. This Lease shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their respective personal representatives, successors and assigns. Lessor and Lessee intend this Lease to be a valid and subsisting legal instrument, and agree that no provision of this Lease which may be deemed unenforceable shall in any way invalidate any other provision or provisions of this Lease, all of which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

20. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS LEASE SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE. LESSEE AGREES TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND/OR FEDERAL COURTS IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION COMMENCED HEREUNDER. LESSEE AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY ACTION SHALL BE SUFFICIENT IF MADE BY FIRST-CLASS CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN-RECEIPT REQUESTED TO THE ADDRESS OF LESSEE SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LESSOR AND LESSEE.

address of Borrower set forth in this Agreement, designating the place and time of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Receivables or any other security held by Lender is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice with respect thereto. The net cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of the foregoing rights or remedies shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect, and Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, (i) to the extent that an event or occurrence described in this section consists of Borrower’s failure to take, do or perform an act or action, then such failure shall not constitute a Default if no other Default has occurred and if such act or action is taken, done or performed by Borrower within five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender that the act or action is required to be taken, done or performed by Borrower and has not been taken, done or performed; and (ii) to the extent that an event or occurrence described in this section consists of the commencement of a proceeding against Borrower under Federal or state law or the appointment of a receiver or custodian under Federal or state law, then the commencement of such proceeding or the appointment of such receiver or custodian shall not constitute a Default if no other Default has occurred and if such proceeding or appointment is contested by Borrower within the time period and in the manner required by law and is dismissed, terminated or vacated within sixty (60) days after such commencement or appointment.

 

8.2.     The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies Lender may have under the UCC or other applicable law. Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights and remedies, and in which order any of the same, are to be exercised, and to determine which Receivables are to be proceeded against and in which order, and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative. No act, failure or delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights and remedies. No single or partial waiver by Lender of any provision of this Agreement, or breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy which Lender may have shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right or remedy on a future occasion. Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Receivables and any and all notices or demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein). Lender may, at all times, proceed directly against Borrower to enforce payment of the Obligations and shall not be required to first enforce its rights in the Receivables or any other security granted to it. Lender shall not be required to take any action of any kind to preserve, collect or protect its or Borrower's rights in the Receivables or any other security granted to it.

 

8.3.     BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE RECEIVABLES, OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SUCH STATE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE OBLIGATIONS. IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION BORROWER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS AND AGREES THAT SERVICE THEREOF MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL DIRECTED TO BORROWER AT ITS PLACE OF BUSINESS SET FORTH ABOVE. WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING, BORROWER SHALL APPEAR IN ANSWER TO SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, FAILING WHICH BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED BY LENDER AGAINST BORROWER FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE CLAIM AND OTHER RELIEF REQUESTED THEREIN.

8.4.     Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any liability, loss, damage, suit or proceeding ever suffered or incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fee) as a result of Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge Borrower’s duties hereunder or as a result of Borrower’s breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

 

9.     EFFECTIVE DATE, CONTROLLING LAW AND TERMINATION

 

9.1.     This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Lender at its office in the State of New York, and shall continue in full force and effect until August 31, 2016 (the “Renewal Date”) and from year to year thereafter, unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrower may terminate this Agreement on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving Lender at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and in addition to its other rights hereunder, Lender shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time by giving Borrower thirty (30) days' prior written notice. Should a Default occur hereunder, this Agreement will be terminable by Lender at any time and Borrower shall, upon any such termination by Lender, or upon termination of this Agreement effective prior to the end of its current term for any reason other than termination by Lender in the absence of a Default, pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and as part of the Obligations, in addition to amounts payable under Section 8.1 hereof, an amount equal to (i) three percent (3%) of the Maximum Credit Facility, if such termination occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the Closing; (ii) two percent (2%) of the Maximum Credit Facility, if such termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing; and (iii) one percent (1%) of the Maximum Credit Facility, if such termination occurs after the second anniversary date of the Closing. In the event that Lender shall permit termination of this Agreement by Borrower other than as provided herein, as a condition to such termination, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional liquidated damages in addition to performance of any other conditions to such termination. No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its duties, obligations and covenants hereunder until such time as all Obligations have been paid in full, and the continuing security interest in Receivables and other Collateral granted to Lender hereunder or under any other agreement shall remain in effect until such Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any provision hereof that by its terms survives termination of this Agreement shall survive pursuant to such terms. No provision hereof shall be modified or amended orally or by course of conduct but only by a written instrument expressly referring hereto signed by both parties. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between Lender and Borrower as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements (whether oral or written) as to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent. Borrower consents to Lender’s sale of participations in the loans made under this Agreement.

 

9.2.     ALL LOANS SHALL BE DISBURSED BY LENDER FROM ITS OFFICE IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL BE PAYABLE BY BORROWER AT SUCH OFFICE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL TRANSACTIONS THEREUNDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONSUMMATED IN SUCH STATE AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THAT STATE. If any part or provision of this Agreement is invalid or in contravention of the applicable laws or regulations of any controlling jurisdiction, such part or provision shall be severable without affecting the validity of any other part or provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any related document, Lender shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or apply, as interest on the Loan Account, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest (“Maximum Rate”) permitted to be charged from time to time by applicable law (if such law imposes any maximum rate), and in the event Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest, any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, such amount shall be deemed and treated as a partial prepayment of the principal of the Loan Account; and, if the principal of the Loan Account and all other of Lender's charges other than interest are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to Borrower.

DATARAM ANNOUNCES THE REFINANCING OF ITS REVOLVING CREDIT LINE AND THE COMPLETION OF A SALE OF EQUIPMENT

 

 

PRINCETON, N.J. November 8, 2013— Dataram Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAM) announced today it has signed a Financing Agreement (“The Financing Agreement”) with Rosenthal and Rosenthal, Inc. The Financing Agreement provides for a revolving loan with a maximum borrowing capacity of $3,500,000. The loans under the Financing Agreement mature on November 30, 2016 unless such Financing Statement is either earlier terminated or renewed. Loans outstanding under the Financing Agreement will bear interest at a rate of the Prime Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 3.25% (the “Effective Rate”) or on Over-advances (as defined in the Financing Agreement), if any, at a rate of the Effective Rate plus 3%. The Financing Agreement contains other restrictive covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, guarantee obligations, sell assets, make loans, enter into mergers and acquisition transactions and declare or make dividends. Borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company. The funds will provide working capital to the Company.

 

At the same time, the Company entered into a financing arrangement with David Sheerr (“Sheerr”), structured as a sale lease-back. Pursuant to the arrangement, the Company sold certain equipment and furniture located at its facility at 130 Corporate Drive, Montgomeryville, PA 18936 (the “Montgomeryville Facility”) to Sheerr in consideration for a reduction of $500,000 in the remaining principal balance of an outstanding promissory note owed to Sheerr, which promissory note was amended and restated (the “Amended and Restated Note and Security Agreement”). As additional security for the Amended and Restated Note and Security Agreement, the Company collaterally assigned to Sheerr its lease to the Montgomeryville Facility pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of Tenant’s Interest in Lease (the “Collateral Assignment”).

Simultaneously, the Company leased the equipment and furniture back from Sheerr pursuant to an Equipment and Furniture Lease Agreement (the “Lease”). The Lease has a 5 year term, and provides the Company with the option to extend the term for an additional 2 years.

 
 

John H. Freeman, Dataram’s President and CEO commented, “These are steps we are taking in a program to strengthen our balance sheet, reduce expenses and have working capital available to support large recent wins and to position Dataram for future growth.”
