Agreements

 

1. The Loan.  Lender agrees to and does hereby loan to Borrower the sum of _________________________ ($_________) for purposes of purchasing PLs for stocking a single tank and for acquiring feed necessary to grow-out the PLs acquired hereunder.  The loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Note”).  The proceeds of the Loan shall be used for this purpose only and for no other.

 

2. The Note.  The Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the Loan equal to fifteen percent (15%) or, alternatively thirty percent (30%) in the common stock of the Borrower, at Lender’s election at the maturity date of the Loan.  The Note shall be for a term equal to twelve (12) months from the date of the Note (the “Maturity Date.”).  The price used for calculating the number of shares payable as interest hereunder is $.25 per share.  In the event that the Note is paid prior to its maturity date, Lender shall nevertheless be entitled to the full interest earned pursuant to the Loan as though the Note was paid at the Maturity Date either in cash or in stock.  Borrower reserves the right to pay installments on the Note so long as the full Note amount plus interest is paid on or before the Maturity Date.

Borrower will execute, for no additional consideration, such other and further documents as Lender reasonably request to perfect Lender’s security interest in the growing crop of PLs/Shrimp.

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD.  Interest on this loan is computed on a 365(360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding, unless such calculation would result in a usurious rate, in which case interest shall be calculated on a per diem basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  All interest payable under this loan is computed using this method.

 

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due.  Prepayment in full shall consist of payment of the remaining unpaid principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Agreement or any other agreement with Lender pertaining to this loan, and in no event will Borrower ever be required to pay any unearned interest.  Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments of accrued unpaid interest.  Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due.  Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language.  If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement, and Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.  All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:  Extraco Banks, N.A., Central Loan Operations, P.O. Box 6108 Temple, TX 76503-6108.

 

POST MATURITY RATE.  The Post Maturity Rate on this loan is the lesser of (A) the maximum rate allowed by law or (B) 17.000% per annum based on a year of 360 days.  Borrower will pay interest on all sums due after final maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, at that rate.

 

DEFAULT.  Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

 

Payment Default.  Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Indebtedness.

 

Other Defaults.  Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

 

False Statements.  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings.  Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the Indebtedness.  This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower’s accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender.  However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.

 

Events Affecting Guarantor.  Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

Adverse Change.  A material adverse change occurs in Borrower’s financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.

 

Insecurity.  Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

 

Cure Provisions.  If any default, other than a default in payment is curable, it may be cured if Borrower, after Lender sends written notice to Borrower demanding cure of such default:  (1) cures the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure requires more than fifteen (1 5) days, immediately initiates steps which Lender deems in Lender’s sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and thereafter continues and completes all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.

 

LENDER’S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire indebtedness, including the unpaid principal balance under this Agreement, all accrued unpaid interest, and all other amounts, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Agreement or any other agreement with Lender pertaining to this loan, immediately due, without notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount.

However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law.

business or is insolvent; (C) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s guarantee of this Agreement or any other loan with Lender; (D) Borrower has applied funds provided pursuant to this Agreement for purposes other than those authorized by Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Except as expressly changed by this Agreement, the terms of the original obligation or obligations, including all agreements evidenced or securing the obligation(s), remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  Consent by Lender to this Agreement does not waive Lender’s right to strict performance of the obligation(s) as changed, nor obligate Lender to make any future change in terms.  Nothing in this Agreement will constitute a satisfaction of the obligation(s).  It is the intention of Lender to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of the original obligation(s), including accommodation parties, unless a party is expressly released by Lender in writing, Any maker or endorser, including accommodation makers, will not be released by virtue of this Agreement.

This waiver applies not only to any initial extension, modification or release, but also to all such subsequent actions.

RENEWAL AND EXTENSION.  This Agreement is given in renewal and extension and not in novation of the following described indebtedness:

 

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  Subject to any limitations stated in this Agreement on transfer of Borrower’s interest, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.  If ownership of the Collateral becomes vested in a person other than Borrower, Lender, without notice to Borrower, may deal with Borrower’s successors with reference to this Agreement and the Indebtedness by way of forbearance or extension without releasing Borrower from the obligations of this Agreement or liability under the Indebtedness.

 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.  NOTICE:  Under no circumstances (and notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement) shall the interest charged, collected, or contracted for on this Agreement exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.

permitted under federal or other law applicable to the indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement, or (b) the higher, as of the date of this Agreement, of the “Weekly Ceiling” or the “Quarterly Ceiling” as referred to in Sections 303.002, 303.003 and 303.006 of the Texas Finance Code.  If any part of this Agreement cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Agreement.  Borrower does not agree or intend to pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect, take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as “charge or collect”), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand, prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect by federal law or the law of the State of Texas (as applicable).  Any such excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to Borrower.  The right to accelerate maturity of sums due under this Agreement does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender does not intend to charge or collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the loan evidenced by this Agreement until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the loan evidenced hereby does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling.  Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement without losing them.  Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Agreement, to the extent allowed by law, waive presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity of this Agreement, and notice of acceleration of the maturity of this Agreement.  Upon any change in the terms of this Agreement, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Agreement, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender’s security interest in the collateral without the consent of or notice to anyone.  All such parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.  The obligations under this Agreement are joint and several.
