The Loans. 1.1 The Loans. Subject to the conditions specified in this Agreement, each Lender agrees to lend to the Company up to the sum set forth opposite such Lender's name on Exhibit A (each, a "Credit Line," and collectively, the "Total Credit Line"). Each month for the next nine months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined below), the Company may borrow from the Lenders the principal amount (each a "Loan Amount") up to one million dollars ($1,000,000); provided, however, that the Loan Amount shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Lenders based on the Pro Rata Percentages set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. At the end of each month prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will inform the Lenders in writing of the next month's Loan Amount based on the Company's anticipated funding needs for the next month, and each Lender will provide its Pro Rata Percentage, set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, of the Loan Amount on the second business day after receipt of the notice of the Loan Amount. Each Loan Amount shall be made against the issuance and delivery by the Company of a promissory note to each Lender for the portion of the Loan Amount borrowed from each Lender (each a "Note," and collectively, the "Notes") in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The availability of additional funding under these credit lines will be automatically cancelled in the event of new external funding provided to the Company or in case of a sale, merger or other disposition of the Company such that after such event the Lenders collectively own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities of the Company. 1.2 Maturity Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Maturity Date shall be the earlier of (i) June 30, 2001, or (ii) a sale, merger or other disposition of the Company such that after such event the Lenders collectively own less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding securities of the Company. 1.3 Repayment. The Company will repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest of each Note on a pro rata basis, so that each Lender receives the same principal amount in repayment, and each Lender's share of the outstanding aggregate Loan Amounts remains in accordance with the Pro Rata Percentages set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. 1.4 Place and Date of Closing.
