REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT (AMENDED)

 

This Revolving Line of Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) was originally made and entered into this 15th day of September, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), and amended on February 28, 2020, by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., a California Corporation (the “Lender”), and Alpharidge Capital LLC., a California limited liability company (“Borrower”).

 

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.      L ine of Credit. Lenders hereby establishes for a period of twelve (12) months from the Effective Date (

“Maturity Date”) a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Line”) for Borrower in the principal amount of One Hundred Ninety Thousand dollars ($190,000) (the “Credit Limit”) which indebtedness shall be evidenced by and repaid in accordance with the terms of a promissory note for the amount of the Credit Limit in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Promissory Note”). All sums advanced on the Credit Line or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each an “Advance”) shall become part of the principal of the applicable Promissory Note.

 

2.    R enewal and Extension of Line of Credit. Provided that Borrower is not in default under this

Agreement or the Promissory Note, at the Maturity Date, the Borrower, at the Borrower’s option may extend and renew this Credit Line for three additional terms of twelve (12) months each.

 

3.      A dvances.

 

(a)        Lender agrees to make funds available under this Credit Line on the following schedule:

 

(i)                    $50,000 on or before December 31, 2019; and

(ii)                  $140,000 within three days of written request.

 

(b)      Subject to subparagraph (a) above, any request for an Advance may be made from time to time and in such amounts as Borrower may choose, provided, however, any requested Advance will not, when added to the outstanding principal balance of all previous Advances, exceed the Credit Limit. Requests for Advances must be made in writing, delivered to the Lender, by such officer of Borrower authorized by it to request such

advances. Until such time as Lender may be notified otherwise, Borrower hereby authorizes its Chief Executive Officer or its Chief Financial Officer to request Advances. For each Advance, properly requested, the Lender shall advance an amount equal to the Advance amount. The Lender may refuse to make any requested Advance if an event of default has occurred and is continuing hereunder either at the time the request is given or the date the Advance is to be made, or if an event has occurred or condition exists which, with the giving of notice or passing of time or both, would constitute an event of default hereunder as of such dates.

 

4.        I nterest. All sums advanced pursuant to this Agreement shall bear interest from the date each

Advance is made until paid in full at an interest rate of zero percent (0%) simple interest per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest will be calculated on a basis of a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

5.     Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Interest Rate shall immediately increase to the highest rate allowable under applicable law, and shall continue at such rate, both before and after judgment, until the Credit Line has been repaid in full and all of Borrower’s other obligations to Lender hereunder have been fully paid and discharged.

 

6.     Interest Payments; Repayment. Interest on the then outstanding principal balance shall be payable on a monthly basis commencing 30 days after the Effective Date, and continuing each month thereafter. The entire unpaid principal balance, together with any unpaid accrued interest and other unpaid charges or fees hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Payment shall be made to the Lender at such place as the Lender may, from time to time, designate in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments received hereunder shall be applied as follows: first, to any late charge; second, to any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in collecting such payment or to any other unpaid charges or expenses due hereunder; third, to accrued interest; fourth, to principal; and fifth, the balance, if any, to such person entitled thereto; provided, however, upon occurrence of an

 

Event of Default, a Lender may, in its discretion, change the priority of the application of payments as it deems appropriate. Borrower may prepay principal and/or interest at any time without penalty.

 

7.        C onditions Precedent. No Lender shall not be required to make any advance hereunder unless and

until:

 

(a)        All of the documents required by such Lender, including a Promissory Note, have been duly executed and delivered to such Lender and shall be in full force and effect.

 

(b)      The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are then true with the same effect as though the representations and warranties had been made at such time. The request for an Advance by Borrower shall constitute a reaffirmation to Lender that all representations and warranties made herein remain true and correct in all material respects to the same extent as though given the time such request is made, and that all conditions precedent listed in this Paragraph 5 have been, and continue to be, satisfied in all respects as of the date such request is made.

 

(c)          No event of default hereunder has occurred and is continuing, and no condition exists or event has occurred which, with the passing of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default hereunder.
