PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
			Principal Amount: $3,500,000.00  

				
			Date of Note: September 15, 2017         

			

   

PROMISE TO PAY. Collectors Universe, Inc. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to ZB, N.A. dba California Bank & Trust (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Three Million Five Hundred Thousand & 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.

 

PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment schedule:

 

Non-Revolving Line of Credit. During the initial 12-month period of the loan evidenced by this Note (the “Draw Period”), Borrower shall make monthly payments of all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance under this Note, commencing on September 15, 2017, and on the same day of each month thereafter, with interest based on the rate as described in the “VARIABLE INTEREST RATE” and “INTEREST RATE OPTIONS” hereinbelow. The interest rate provisions set forth in the section entitled INTEREST RATE OPTIONS” hereinbelow shall apply only during the Draw Period.

 

Conversion to Term Loan. Upon the expiration of the Draw Period on August 15, 2018 (the “Conversion Date”), the non-revolving line of credit evidenced by this Note shall terminate and Borrower’s right to request, and Lender’s obligation to fund, advances thereunder shall expire. Effective as of the Conversion Date, the total outstanding principal balance under this Note will convert to a fully amortizing term loan having a term of four (4) years from the Conversion Date (the “Term Loan”), with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance at a rate selected by Borrower for the Term Loan (the “Interest Rate (Term Loan)”) and based on an amortization period of 48 months.

 

No later than three days prior to the Conversion Date, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of the Interest Rate (Term Loan) that it selects for the Term Loan, which shall be one of the following:

 

(i)     Prime Option. A variable rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate less 0.250%. As used herein, the “Wall Street Journal Prime Rate” means the variable rate of interest per annum, as adjusted from time to time, published in the Wall Street Journal as the prime rate or, if published as a range, then the highest rate in such range. The Interest Rate (Term Loan) under this option is subject to change from time to time based on changes in Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, and such changes in the Interest Rate (Term Loan) will be effective immediately upon changes in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, provided, however, any such change will not occur more often than each day.

 

(ii)     LIBOR Option. A variable rate per annum equal to the Three-Month LIBOR plus 2.250%. As used herein, “Three-Month LIBOR” means the rate quoted by Lender as its LIBOR rate for interest periods of three months, as quoted to Lender for U.S. Dollars by Bloomberg or other comparable pricing services selected by Lender. The Interest Rate (Term Loan) under this option is subject to change based on changes in the Three-Month LIBOR, effective as of the expiration of the then-current three-month interest period.

 

(iii)     Fixed Rate Option. A fixed rate per annum equal to the Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate plus 2.250%. “Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate” shall have the meaning set forth in the section entitled “FOUR-YEAR LIBOR SWAP RATE” set forth hereinbelow.

 

If Borrower fails to provide Lender with timely written notice of the Interest Rate (Term Loan) option it selects, Borrower will be deemed to have selected the Prime Option.

 

Once any option is selected in writing for the Interest Rate (Term Loan), such selection may not be amended, changed, modified, rescinded, revoked or withdrawn by Borrower.

 

Following the Conversion Date, Borrower shall make monthly payments on the Term Loan as follows:

 

It Borrower has selected the Prime Option or the LIBOR Option for the Interest Rate (Term Loan), Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest, commencing on September 15, 2018, and on the same day of each month thereafter, except that the final payment due on the maturity date of August 15, 2022, shall be in an amount equal to the total outstanding balance under this Note, including without limitation any and all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses and any and all other sums due and payable on such maturity date.

 

If Borrower has selected the Fixed Option for the Interest Rate (Term Loan), Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal and interest, commencing on September 15, 2018, and on the same day of each month thereafter, except that the final payment due on the maturity date of August 15, 2022, shall be in an amount equal to the total outstanding balance under this Note, including without limitation any and all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses and any and all other sums due and payable on such maturity date.

 

Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. Borrower will pay Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.

4 YEAR LIBOR/SWAP RATE. As used herein, “Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate” shall mean the rate per annum quoted by Lender as its LIBOR swap rate for an interest period of four years, as quoted to Lender for U.S. Dollars by Bloomberg or other comparable pricing services selected by Lender. The Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate is to be strictly interpreted and is not intended to serve any other purpose other than providing an index to determine the interest rate for the Fixed Option. The Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate may not necessarily be the same as the quoted offer side in the Eurodollar time deposit market by any particular institution or service applicable to any interest period. The Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate upon Borrower’s request. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of 2.25 percentage points over the Four-Year LIBOR Swap Rate. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. Information about the Index is available or published daily in the Wall Street Journal (the “Index”). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Index currently is 4.250% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of 0.250 percentage points under the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 4.000%. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 2.250% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

 

INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note 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. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method. This calculation method results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric interest rate stated in this Note.

 

INTEREST RATE OPTIONS. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Borrower will be able to select, from one of the following Rate Options, an interest rate which will be applicable to a particular dollar increment of amounts outstanding, or to be disbursed, under this Note. Principal shall be payable as specified herein in the “Payment” section, and interest shall be payable as specified for each Rate Option. The following Rate Options are available to Borrower:

 

(A)     Default Option. The interest rate margin and index described in the “VARIABLE INTEREST RATE” paragraph herein (the “Default Option”).

 

(B)     Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR Rate. A margin of 2.250 percentage points over Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR Rate. For purposes of this Note, Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR Rate shall mean 3 Month LIBOR rate. Lender’s LIBOR rate is to be strictly interpreted and is not intended to serve any purpose other than providing an index to determine the interest rate used herein. Lender’s LIBOR rate may not necessarily be the same as the quoted offered side in the Eurodollar time deposit market by any particular institution or service applicable to any interest period. As used herein, Lender’s LIBOR rate shall mean the rates per annum quoted by Lender as Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR rate based upon quotes from the London Interbank Offered Rate from the ICE Benchmark Administration Interest Settlement Rates, as quoted for U.S. Dollars by Bloomberg, or other comparable services selected by the Lender. Interest based on this Rate Option is a floating rate and will change on and as of the date of a change in Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR Rate (the “Interest Period”). Adjustments in the interest rate due to changes in the maximum nonusurious interest rate allowed (the “Highest Lawful Rate”) shall be made on the effective day of any change in the Highest Lawful Rate. Under this Rate Option, Borrower shall make monthly interest payments on the same day of the month, with a final payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the last day of such Interest Period and, in the case of an Interest Period greater than three (3) months, at three month (3 month) intervals after the first day of such Interest Period.

 

The following provisions concerning Rate Options are a part of this Note:

 

Selection of Rate Options. Provided Borrower is not in default under this Note, Borrower may request (a “Rate Request”) that a $100,000.00 increment or any amount in excess thereof (an “Increment”) of the outstanding principal of, or amounts to be disbursed under, this Note bear interest at the selected rate. Borrower may make this Rate Request by telephonic notice, however no later than 10:00 AM PDT three (3) business days prior to the effective date of the Rate Request to permit Lender to quote the rate requested.

 

Applicable Interest Rate. Borrower’s Rate Request will become effective, and interest on the increment designated will be calculated at the rate (the “Effective Rate”), which Borrower requested, for the applicable Interest Period, subject to the following:

 

(1)     Notwithstanding any Rate Request, interest shall be calculated on the basis of the Default Option if (a) Lender, in good faith, is unable to ascertain the requested Rate Option by reason of circumstances then affecting the applicable money market or otherwise, (b) it becomes unlawful or impracticable for Lender to maintain loans based upon the requested Rate Option, or (c) Lender, in good faith, determines that it is impracticable to maintain loans based on the requested Rate Option because of increased taxes, regulatory costs, reserve requirements, expenses or any other costs or charges that affect such Rate Options. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in this “Interest Rate Options” section, any increment to which a requested Rate Option applies shall be immediately (or at the option of Lender, at the end the current applicable interest Period), without further action of Lender or Borrower, converted to an increment to which the Default Option applies.

 

(2)     Borrower may have no more than a total of 3 Effective Rates applicable to amounts outstanding under this Note at any given time.

(3)     A Rate Request shall be effective as to amounts to be disbursed under this Note only if, on the effective date of the Rate Requests, such amounts are in fact disbursed to or for Borrower’s account in accordance with the provisions of this Note and any related loan documents.

 

(4)     Any amounts of outstanding principal for which a Rate Request has not been made, or is otherwise not effective, shall bear interest until paid in full at the Default Option.

 

(5)     Any amounts of outstanding principal bearing interest based upon a Rate Option shall bear interest at such rate until the end of the Interest Period for that Rate Option, and thereafter shall bear interest based upon the Default Option unless a new Rate Request for a Rate Option complying with the terms hereof has been made and has become effective.

 

(6)     Upon default Lender shall no longer be obligated to honor any Rate Requests.

 

(7)     No Interest Period shall extend beyond the maturity date of this Note.

 

Notices: Authority to Act. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the agreement of Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for Borrower’s convenience. Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority of the person purporting to be a person authorized by Borrower to give such notice, and Lender shall have no liability to Borrower on account of any action taken by Lender in reliance upon such telephonic notice. Borrower’s obligation to repay all sums owing under the Note shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by Lender to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by Lender to be contained in the telephonic notice.

 

VARIABLE RATE FLOOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the interest rate is calculated with any LIBOR or LIBOR/Swap rate index plus a margin, then under no circumstances will the Index be less than zero percent (0%) per annum. To the extent there is an interest rate floor described in the VARIABLE INTEREST RATE paragraph which is different than the interest rate floor described in this paragraph, then the interest rate floor amount set forth in the VARIABLE INTEREST RATE paragraph shall be applicable. Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than zero percent (0%) per annum.

 

PREPAYMENT FEE; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. In any event, even upon full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a minimum interest charge of $200.00. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment fee: Borrower acknowledges that the “Fixed Rate Option” interest rate payable under this Note has been offered by Lender in contemplation of the loan being outstanding in accordance with its terms until maturity. Borrower agrees to pay a fee for early payment of all or any part of the outstanding principal balance under this Note in excess of the Permitted Prepayment Amount (as defined below) during any consecutive 12-month period ending on the anniversary of the date of this Note equal to:

 

(a)     No prepayment fee during the consecutive 12-month period ending on the first anniversary of the date of this Note;

 

(b)     2.00% of the total principal prepaid in excess of the Permitted Prepayment Amount during the consecutive 12-month period ending on the second anniversary of the date of this Note;

 

(c)     1.50% of the total principal prepaid in excess of the Permitted Prepayment Amount during each of the consecutive 12-month periods ending on the third anniversary of the date of this Note;

 

(d)     1.00% of the total principal prepaid in excess of the Permitted Prepayment Amount during each of the consecutive 12-month periods ending on the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note;

 

(e)     No prepayment fee after the fourth anniversary of the date of this Note.

 

The outstanding balance under this Note may be partially prepaid up to a total of twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount in any consecutive 12-month period ending on an anniversary of the date of this Note (the “Permitted Prepayment Amount”) without penalty, premium or fee. The prepayment fee described herein will be assessed whether prepayment is voluntary, required by reason of acceleration or otherwise. Other than Borrower’s obligation to pay any minimum interest charge and prepayment fee, Borrower may pay all or a portion of the amount owed earlier than it is due. 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 Note, 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: ZB, N.A. dba California Bank & Trust; Irvine Commercial; 1900 Main Street, Suite #200; Irvine, CA 92614.

 

LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged 6.000% of the regularly scheduled payment or $500.00, whichever is less.

 

INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, the interest rate on this Note shall, if permitted under applicable law, immediately increase by adding an additional 5.000 percentage point margin (“Default Rate Margin”). The Default Rate Margin shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied had there been no default.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT SECURITY. Borrower hereby grants a security interest to Lender in any and all deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market or time) of Borrower at Lender, now existing or hereinafter opened, to secure its Indebtedness hereunder. This includes all deposit accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else.

 

JURY WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. Borrower and Lender each waive their respective rights to a trial before a jury in connection with any disputes related to this Note, the loan evidenced hereby and any other loan documents in connection herewith and therewith. Such disputes include without limitation any claim by Borrower or Lender, claims brought by Borrower as a class representative on behalf of others, and claims by a class representative on Borrower’s behalf as a class member (so-called “class action” suits). This provision shall not apply if, at the time an action is brought, Borrower’s loan is funded or maintained in a state where this jury trial waiver is not permitted by law.

 

If a jury trial waiver is not permitted by applicable law and a dispute arises between Borrower and Lender with respect to this Note, its enforcement or the transactions contemplated by the related loan documents, either of Borrower or Lender may require that it be resolved by judicial reference in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 638, et seq., including without limitation whether the dispute is subject to a judicial reference proceeding. The referee shall be a retired judge, agreed upon by the parties, from either the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service, Inc. (JAMS). If the parties cannot agree on the referee, the party who initially selected the reference procedure shall request a panel of ten retired judges from either AAA or JAMS, and the court shall select the referee from that panel. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all of the powers provided by law. The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the judicial reference proceeding set forth herein. The costs of the judicial reference proceeding, including the fee for the court reporter, shall be borne equally by the parties as the costs are incurred, unless otherwise awarded by the referee. The referee shall hear all pre-trial and post-trial matters (including without limitation requests for equitable relief), prepare an award with written findings of fact and conclusions of law and apportion costs as appropriate. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable relief as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that are binding on the parties and rule on any motion that would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. Judgment upon the award shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced and all parties shall have full rights of appeal. This provision will not be deemed to limit or constrain Lender’s right of offset, to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies, to interplead funds in the event of a dispute, to exercise any security interest or lien Lender may hold in property or to comply with legal process involving Borrower’s accounts or other property.

 

ONLINE BANKING - LOAN PAYMENTS. From time to time, Lender may (but shall not be required to) permit loan payments to be made through its online banking website. Lender may impose or change any terms, conditions or restrictions with respect to making such online loan payments, including without limitation the minimum or maximum payment amounts, the types of accounts from which loan payments may be made and the types of payments that may be made online (including without limitation ordinary installment payments, principal-only payments or other types of payments). Whether Borrower is permitted to make online loan payments, and Lender’s applicable terms, conditions and restrictions if such payments are permitted, will be reflected in the features available online when a user logs into the Lender’s online banking website. By making any loan payments online, Borrower agrees to be bound by any such terms, conditions and restrictions imposed by Lender. Lender shall have the right to terminate Borrower’s online loan payment capability at any time in Lender’s sole discretion.

 

DOCUMENT IMAGING. Lender shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to image or make copies of all or any selection of the agreements, instruments, documents, and items and records governing, arising from or relating to any of Borrower’s loans, including, without limitation, this document and the Related Documents, and Lender may destroy or archive the paper originals. The parties hereto (i) waive any right to insist or require that Lender produce paper originals, (ii) agree that such images shall be accorded the same force and effect as the paper originals, (iii) agree that Lender is entitled to use such images in lieu of destroyed or archived originals for any purpose, including as admissible evidence in any demand, presentment or other proceedings, and (iv) further agree that any executed facsimile (faxed), scanned, or other imaged copy of this document or any Related Document shall be deemed to be of the same force and effect as the original manually executed document.

 

NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT. BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT THE UNDERSIGNED REPRESENTS AND AGREES THAT; (A) THIS AND THE RELATED DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, (B) THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, (C) THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE PARTIES.

 

WAIVER OF DEFENSES AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS. The undersigned hereby (i) represents that neither the undersigned nor any affiliate or principal of the undersigned has any defenses to or setoffs against any Indebtedness or other obligations owing by the undersigned, or by the undersigned’s affiliates or principals, to Lender or Lender’s affiliates (the “Obligations”), nor any claims against Lender or Lender’s affiliates for any matter whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Obligations, and (ii) releases Lender and Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from all claims, causes of action, and costs, in law or equity, known or unknown, whether or not matured or contingent, existing as of the date hereof that the undersigned has or may have by reason of any matter of any conceivable kind or character whatsoever, related or unrelated to the Obligations, including the subject matter of this Agreement. The foregoing release does not apply, however, to claims for future performance of express contractual obligations that mature after the date hereof that are owing to the undersigned by Lender or Lender’s affiliates. As used in this paragraph, the word “undersigned” does not include Lender or any individual signing on behalf of Lender. The undersigned acknowledges that Lender has been induced to enter into or continue the Obligations by, among other things, the waivers and releases in this paragraph.

BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note is subject to the terms and conditions of that Business Loan Agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender on August 14, 2017, as amended or restated from time to time.

 

PROHIBITED DRUG LAW ACTIVITIES. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other document, agreement or instrument relating to the loan evidenced hereby or other financial accommodations extended by Lender to Borrower (collectively, the “Loan”) or guaranty thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising (collectively, the “Loan Documents’), regarding the use, occupancy or leasing of all or any portion of real property owned, occupied or used by Borrower (collectively, the “Premises”) and without limiting the generality of any of the negative covenants of Borrower herein, Borrower shall not use or occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of, the Premises (or any portion thereof), or enter into any lease, license, sublease, occupancy agreement or other agreement (collectively, “Lease”) involving or providing for the use or occupancy of the Premises (or any portion thereof), in any manner that would be a violation of any federal, state or local law relating to the use, sale, possession, cultivation or distribution of any controlled substances, including without limitation any activity (whether for commercial or personal purposes) regulated under the Compassionate Use Act of 1996 or any other California law relating to the medicinal use or distribution of marijuana (collectively, “Prohibited Drug Law Activities”) or entering into a Lease with any Person engaged or intending to engage in any Prohibited Drug Law Activities.

 

Any Lease involving or providing for the use or occupancy of the Premises entered into by Borrower during the term of the Loan shall expressly prohibit the tenant or other occupant of the Premises (or any portion thereof) from engaging or permitting others to engage in any Prohibited Drug Law Activities. In the event that Borrower becomes aware that any tenant, occupant or other Person is or may be using, occupying or leasing the Premises (or any portion thereof) with the intent to engage or is engaged in any Prohibited Drug Law Activities, Borrower shall terminate its agreement with such tenant, occupant or other Person and take all actions permitted under applicable law to discontinue such activities in or on the Premises and shall immediately notify Lender regarding the Prohibited Drug Law Activities and Borrower’s actions to terminate such agreement and the Prohibited Drug Law Activities. Borrower shall keep Lender advised of each action it takes or plans to take in compliance with the requirements of this section.

 

Compliance with this section is a material consideration and inducement to Lender in its agreement to extend the Loan and other financial accommodations to Borrower hereunder. Any failure of Borrower to comply with the requirements under this section shall constitute a non-curable Event of Default upon written notice by Lender to Borrower thereof and, notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Loan Documents with respect to the right to cure an Event of Default, upon the occurrence of any breach, default or non-compliance of or under this section, Lender shall have the right to immediately exercise any and all remedies to which it may be entitled hereunder, under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise under law.

 

In addition and not by way of limitation, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability arising from or related to Borrower’s breach or violation of the covenants set forth herein. Borrower shall, within ten (10) business days following a request from Lender, provide Lender with a written statement setting forth its efforts to comply with the provisions of this section and stating whether, to Borrower’s knowledge, any Prohibited Drug Law Activities are or may be on-going or have occurred in, on or around the Premises.

 

For purposes of this section, the capitalized term “Person” means any natural person, corporation, division of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, joint venture, association, company, estate, unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

 

SUCCESSOR INTERESTS. The terms of this Note shall be binding upon Borrower, and upon Borrower’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns.

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact will not affect the rest of the Note. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law, waive any applicable statute of limitations, presentment, demand for payment, and notice of dishonor. Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, 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; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender 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 Note are joint and several.

 

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.

ADDENDUM TO PROMISSORY NOTE

 

This Addendum to Promissory Note ("Addendum") is dated as of September 15, 2017 by and between Collectors Universe, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and ZB, N.A., dba California Bank & Trust ("Lender"), with reference to the following:

 

A.     Concurrently herewith, Borrower and Lender (who shall sometimes be referred to herein, collectively, as the "parties"), are entering into a Business Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Lender is providing Borrower with a $3.5 million unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") and, pursuant thereto, Borrower is executing, and delivering to Lender, that certain promissory note dated of even date herewith (the "Promissory Note" or the "Note") to evidence borrowings by Borrower under the Term Loan;

 

B.     That Promissory Note is Lender's standard form of promissory note which does not reflect or incorporate all of, and in certain respects conflicts with, the understandings and agreements of the parties that will govern respective rights and obligations of the parties under the Note; and

 

C.     Accordingly, the parties are hereby entering this Addendum to modify the Promissory Note in various respects, as set forth hereinafter, to accurately reflect the intentions and set forth all of the agreements of the parties in, and their respective rights and obligations under, the Promissory Note.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, with the intent to be legally bound and for good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties expressly agree as follows:

 

A.     Addendum Controls. This Addendum is hereby made an integral part of the Promissory Note and amends and modifies the Promissory Note in the manner and to the extent set forth hereinafter. In the event of any conflict between any provisions of the Promissory Note and any provisions of this Addendum, the provisions of this Addendum shall control and supersede the conflicting provisions of the Promissory Note.

 

B.     Amendments and Modifications to the Promissory Note. The provisions of the Lender's Promissory Note are hereby modified and amended in the manner and to the extent set forth below.

 

1.     Under the heading "PAYMENT" on page 1 of the Note, the second paragraph under the section entitled "Conversion to Term Loan" is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

"No later than three (3) business days prior to the Conversion Date, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of the Interest Rate (Term Loan) that it selects for the Term Loan, which shall be one of the following:"

 

2.     Under the heading "PAYMENT" on page 1 of the Note, the following sentence is hereby added at the end of the subsection entitled "(i) Prime Option":

 

"NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note under the Prime Rate Option be less than 2.250% per annum nor more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law."

 

3.     Under the heading "PAYMENT" on page 1 of the Note, the two paragraphs, immediately following the lead-in sentence "Following the Conversion Date, Borrower shall make monthly payments on the Term Loan as follows", are amended to read in their entirety as follows:

 

"If Borrower has selected the Prime Option or the LIBOR Option for the Interest Rate (Term Loan), Borrower shall make monthly payments of principal plus all accrued and unpaid interest, commencing on October 12, 2018, and on the same day of each month thereafter, except that the final payment due on the maturity date of September 12, 2022, shall be in an amount equal to the total then outstanding balance under this Note, including without limitation any and all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses and any and all other sums due and payable under this Note on such maturity date."

 

"If Borrower has selected the Fixed Option for the Interest Rate (Term Loan), Borrower shall make equal monthly payments of principal and interest, commencing on October 12, 2018, and on the same day of each month thereafter, except that the final payment due on the maturity date of September 12, 2022, shall be in an amount equal to the total then outstanding balance under this Note, including without limitation any and all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, charges, costs and expenses and any and all other sums due and payable under this Note on such maturity date."

 

 

 

 

4.     The section on page 2 of the Note with the heading "VARIABLE INTEREST RATE" is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from time to time based on changes in an independent index which will be whichever of the following two interest rate indexes that Borrower, pursuant to the paragraph below entitled "INTEREST RATE OPTIONS", selects: (i) the Prime Rate Index as published in the Wall Street Journal (which sometimes shall be referred to as the “Prime Rate Option” or the “Default Option”), or (ii) Lender’s 3 Month LIBOR Rate Index (which sometimes shall be referred to as the “LIBOR Rate Option”). Information about the Prime Rate Index is available or published daily in the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate provided for in the Prime Rate Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the Prime Rate Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Prime Rate Index rate upon Borrower’s request. The interest rate change, if the Prime Rate Index has been selected by Borrower, will not occur more often than once each day. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The Prime Rate Index interest rate currently is 4.250% per annum. If Borrower has selected the Prime Rate Index, then interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in the “INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD” paragraph using a rate of 0.250 percentage points under the Prime Rate Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations described above, resulting in an initial rate of 4.000%. Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 2.25% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law." 

 

5.     In the lead-in paragraph of the section on page 2 of the Note which begins with the heading "INTEREST RATE OPTIONS", the words "during the Draw Period" are hereby added between the words "Note," and "Borrower" in the first line thereof.

 

6.     Paragraph (A) of the section on page 2 of the Note entitled "INTEREST RATE OPTIONS" is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

"(A)     Default Option. The Prime Rate Index that is described in, and the margin that is set forth in the last sentence of, the section above entitled “VARIABLE INTEREST RATE” (the “Default Option”)."

 

7.     The lead-in sentence of the section entitled "Applicable Interest Rate" on page 2 of the Note is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

"Applicable Interest Rate. Borrower's Rate Request will become effective, and interest on the increment designated will be calculated at the rate (the "("Effective Rate"), which Borrower requested for the applicable Interest Period during the Draw Period, subject to the following:"

 

8.     Subsection (6) of the section entitled "Applicable Interest Rate" on page 2 of the Note is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

"Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following prepayment fee: Borrower acknowledges that the "Fixed Rate Option" interest rate payable under this Note has been offered by Lender in contemplation of the loan being outstanding in accordance with its terms until maturity and therefore, notwithstanding any provision in this Note to the contrary, the prepayment fee hereinbelow described shall only be applicable in the event Borrower elects the Fixed Rate Option during the Term Loan."

12.     Under the heading "DEFAULT", the paragraph entitled "False Statements" on page 3 of the Note is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

"False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished in writing to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Note or the Related Documents was false or misleading, in any material respect, when made or furnished or becomes false or misleading in any material respect at any time thereafter."

 

13.     The word "material" is hereby added between the words "any" and "part" in the section entitled "Insolvency" under the heading entitled "DEFAULT" on page 3 of the Note.

Exhibit 4.2

IPO Share Redemption Program

Our board of directors has adopted a share redemption program that enables our stockholders to sell their shares to us in limited circumstances. Our share redemption program permits you to submit your shares for redemption after you have held them for at least one year, subject to the significant conditions and limitations described below. After you have held your shares for four years, you will be eligible to utilize our new share redemption program created for our Class T, Class S, Class D and Class I shares instead of participating in this program. This share redemption program will terminate in January 2021 on the four-year anniversary of the termination of our initial public offering.   

Our common stock is currently not listed on a national securities exchange, and we will not seek to list our stock until such time as our independent directors believe that the listing of our stock would be in the best interest of our stockholders. In order to provide stockholders with the benefit of interim liquidity, stockholders who have held their shares for at least one year may present all or a portion consisting of at least 25%, of the holder's shares to us for redemption at any time in accordance with the procedures outlined below. At that time, we may, subject to the conditions and limitations described below, redeem the shares presented for redemption for cash to the extent that we have sufficient funds available to us to fund such redemption. We may also redeem all shares held by a stockholder in the event that such stockholder fails to maintain the minimum balance of $2,500 of shares of our common stock. We will not pay to our board of directors, our advisor or their affiliates any fees to complete any transactions under our share redemption program.

The redemption price per share will depend on the length of time you have held such shares as follows (in each case, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to our common stock):
•after one year from the purchase date - 90% of the Redemption Amount (as defined below);
•after two years from the purchase date - 95% of the Redemption Amount;
•after three years from the purchase date - 97.5% of the Redemption Amount; and
•after four years from the purchase date - 100% of the Redemption Amount.

The Redemption Amount for shares purchased under our share redemption program shall be the lesser of (i) the amount you paid for your shares or (ii) the net asset value, or NAV, of the shares.  The redemption price per share as described above for shares repurchased will be reduced by the aggregate amount of net investment proceeds per share, if any, distributed to the stockholders prior to the repurchase date as a result of a "special distribution." While our board does not have specific criteria for determining a special distribution, we expect that a special distribution will only occur upon the sale of a property and the subsequent distribution of the net sale proceeds. Our board may change the redemption price per share at any time by providing 30 days' notice to our stockholders. Our board of directors may also choose to amend, suspend or terminate our share redemption program upon 30 days' notice at any time. Our board will announce any redemption price changes and the time period of its effectiveness as a part of its regular communications with our stockholders through our filings with the SEC.

You generally have to hold your shares for one year before submitting your shares for redemption under the program; however, we may waive the one-year holding period in the event of the death, qualifying disability or bankruptcy of a stockholder. Shares redeemed in connection with the death or qualifying disability of a stockholder may be repurchased at a purchase price equal to the price actually paid for the shares. We treat shares received in our distribution reinvestment plan as having the same age of the shares receiving the distribution.  

In order for a disability to be considered a "qualifying disability," (1) the stockholder must receive a determination of disability based upon a physical or mental condition or impairment arising after the date the stockholder acquired the shares to be redeemed, and (2) such determination of disability must be made by the governmental agency responsible for reviewing the disability retirement benefits that the stockholder could be 

Exhibit 4.2

eligible to receive.  The "applicable governmental agencies" are limited to the following: (1) the Social Security Administration; (2) the U.S. Office of Personnel Management; or (3) the Veteran's Benefits Administration.

Disability determinations by governmental agencies for purposes other than those listed above, including but not limited to worker’s compensation insurance, administration or enforcement of the Rehabilitation Act or Americans with Disabilities Act, or waiver of insurance premiums, will not entitle a stockholder to the special redemption terms applicable to stockholders with a “qualifying disability” unless otherwise permitted by us.  Redemption requests following an award by the applicable governmental agency of disability benefits must be accompanied by: (1) the investor’s initial application for disability benefits and (2) a Social Security Administration Notice of Award, a U.S. Office of Personnel Management determination of disability, a Veteran’s Benefits Administration record of disability-related discharge or such other documentation issued by the applicable governmental agency that we deem acceptable and demonstrates an award of the disability benefits.

The following disabilities do not entitle a worker to Social Security disability benefits:
•disabilities occurring after the legal retirement age;
•temporary disabilities; and
•disabilities that do not render a worker incapable of performing substantial gainful activity.
During any calendar year, we will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. The cash available for redemption will be limited to the proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan for such shares.

We will redeem our shares on the last business day of the month following the end of each quarter. Requests for redemption would have to be received on or prior to the end of the quarter in order for us to repurchase the shares as of the end of the next month. You may withdraw your request to have your shares redeemed at any time prior to the last day of the applicable quarter.

If we could not purchase all shares presented for redemption in any quarter, based upon insufficient cash available and the limit on the number of shares we may redeem during any calendar year, we would attempt to honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis. We would treat the unsatisfied portion of the redemption request as a request for redemption the following quarter. At such time, you may then (1) withdraw your request for redemption at any time prior to the last day of the new quarter or (2) ask that we honor your request at such time, if, any, when sufficient funds become available. Such pending requests will generally be honored on a pro rata basis. We will determine whether we have sufficient funds available as soon as practicable after the end of each quarter, but in any event prior to the applicable payment date. The redemption price per share will be determined on the date of redemption.

We will be required to discontinue sales of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan on the earlier of July 31, 2016, which is two years from the effective date of this offering, or the date we sell $200,000,000 in shares under the plan, unless we file a new registration statement with the SEC and applicable states. Because the redemption of shares will be funded with the net investment proceeds we receive from the sale of shares under our distribution reinvestment plan, the discontinuance or termination of our distribution reinvestment plan will adversely affect our ability to redeem shares under our share redemption program. We would notify you of such developments (1) in the annual or quarterly reports mentioned above or (2) by means of a separate mailing to you, accompanied by disclosure in a current or periodic report under the Exchange Act. During this offering, we would also include this information in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement, as then-required under federal securities laws.

Our share redemption program is only intended to provide interim liquidity for stockholders until a liquidity event occurs, such as the listing of our shares on a national securities exchange, or our merger with a listed company. Our share redemption program will be terminated if our shares become listed on a national securities exchange. We cannot guarantee that a liquidity event will occur.

Exhibit 4.2

The shares we redeem under our share redemption program will be cancelled and return to the status of authorized but unissued shares. We do not intend to resell such shares to the public unless they are first registered with the SEC under the Securities Act and under appropriate state securities laws or otherwise sold in compliance with such laws.
