In exercising its discretion, the Committee may use such objective or subjective factors as it determines to be appropriate in its sole discretion. The determinations of the Committee pursuant to its authority under the Plan shall be conclusive and binding. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority, subject to the terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, to grant Awards to Participants who are not members of the Board or officers within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 
(b) The determination of any Award grants to Eligible Directors shall be made solely by the Eligible Directors and without the participation of any non-Eligible Directors or Eligible Employees. Awards granted to an Eligible Director shall generally be on par with Awards granted to all other comparable Eligible Directors. 
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any material amendment to the Plan shall require stockholder approval, which shall constitute the affirmative approval by a majority of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposed material amendment. For the purposes of this Section 4(c), a “material amendment” would include (i) any material increase in the number of shares to be issued under the Plan (other than to reflect an event specified in Section 5(f)); (ii) any material increase in benefits to participants, including any material change to (a) permit a repricing (or decrease in exercise price) of outstanding options, (b) reduce the price at which shares or options to purchase shares may be offered, or (c) extend the duration of the Plan; (iii) any material expansion of the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan; (iv) any expansion in the types of options or awards provided under the Plan and (v) the items set forth in Section 27 hereof. 

SECTION 5. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS:
(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5(f), the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be 9,500,000. 
(b) If any Shares are subject to an Award that is forfeited, is settled in cash, expires, or is otherwise settled without the issuance of the full number of Shares underlying the Awards, any such Shares covered by such Award shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Any Shares that are tendered by the Participant or retained by the Company as full or partial payment to the Company for the purchase of an Award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with an Award shall not be available for Awards under the Plan. For purposes of clarification, with respect to SARs, all of the Shares covered by the Award (that is, Shares actually issued pursuant to a SAR, as well as the Shares that represent payment of the exercise price) shall cease to be available under the Plan. 
(c) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, Awards that are designed to operate in tandem with other Awards shall not be counted against the maximum number of Shares available under Section 5(a) in order to avoid double counting. 
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and, subject to adjustment provided in Section 5(f), the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the aggregate number of Shares stated in Section 5(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan under Section 5(b). 
(e) Any Shares issued under the Plan shall consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares, Shares purchased in the open market or otherwise, Shares in treasury, or any combination thereof, as the Committee or, as appropriate, the Board may determine. 
(f) In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or similar corporate transaction, as determined by the Committee, the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable and to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, adjust the number and type of Shares available for Awards under the Plan, the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the Exercise Price with respect to any Award; provided, however, that any fractional Share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5(f) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. 
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Shares subject to Full Value Equity Awards will be counted against the numerical limits of this Section 5(a) as 1.58 Shares for every one Share subject thereto. Further, if Shares acquired pursuant to any such Full Value Equity Award are forfeited to the Company and would otherwise return to the Plan pursuant to Section 5(b), 1.58 times the number of Shares so forfeited will return to the Plan and will again become available for issuance. 
SECTION 6. ELIGIBILITY: The Committee from time to time may designate which Eligible Employees, Eligible Directors and Consultants shall become Participants under the Plan; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.
SECTION 7. CODE SECTION 162(m) PROVISIONS:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if the Committee determines at the time an Award is made to a Participant that such Participant is or may be for the tax year in which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with the Award, a Covered Employee (as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee may provide, in writing, that this Section 7 is applicable to such Award under such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify. 
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan other than Section 5(f), if the Committee provides that this Section 7 is applicable to a particular Award, no Participant shall receive such an Award or Awards having an aggregate Option/SAR Value, Performance Share Value, and Performance Unit Value (as 

hereinafter defined) of greater than $3,000,000 for any fiscal year of the Company, where: (i) the Option/SAR Value shall mean the Fair Market Value of the number of Shares underlying an Award of Options in any fiscal year of the Company or the Fair Market Value of a number of Shares equal to the number of SARs awarded in any fiscal year of the Company, with such Fair Market Value determined as of the date of grant of each Award, multiplied by 50%; (ii) the Performance Share Value shall mean the Fair Market Value, as of the date of grant of each such Award, of the maximum number of Shares that the Participant could receive from an Award of Performance Shares granted in the fiscal year; provided, however, that such number of Shares shall be divided by the number of full or partial fiscal years of the Company contained in the Performance Period of a particular Award, and provided further, that if any other Awards of Performance Shares are outstanding for such Participant for a given fiscal year, the Performance Share Value shall be increased for each such given fiscal year by the Fair Market Value of Shares that could be received by the Participant under all such other Awards calculated on the date each such Award was granted, divided, for each such Award, by the number of full or partial fiscal years of the Company contained in the Performance Period of each such outstanding Award; or (iii) the Performance Unit Value shall mean the maximum dollar value that the Participant could receive from an Award of Performance Units granted in the fiscal year, provided, however, that such amount shall be divided by the number of full or partial fiscal years of the Company contained in the Performance Period of a particular Award, and provided further, that if any other Awards of Performance Units are outstanding for such Participant for a given fiscal year, the Performance Unit Value shall be increased for each such given fiscal year by the amount that could be received by the Participant under all such other Awards, divided, for each such Award, by the number of full or partial fiscal years of the Company contained in the Performance Period of each such outstanding Award; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 7(b) shall be subject to adjustment under Section 5(f) of the Plan only to the extent that such adjustment does not affect the status of any Award intended under this Section 7 to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. If an Option is granted in tandem with a SAR, such that exercise of the Option or SAR with respect to one Share cancels the tandem option or SAR, respectively, with respect to such Share, the tandem Option and SAR with respect to such Share shall be counted as covering only one Share for purposes of applying the limitation set forth in this Section 7(b). 
(c) If an Award is subject to this Section 7, the grant of any Shares or cash shall be subject to the attainment of Performance Goals for the Performance Period. The Committee shall establish the Performance Goals within 90 days following the commencement of the applicable Performance Period, or such earlier time as prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code or regulations thereunder, and a schedule detailing the total amount which may be available for payout based upon the relative level of attainment of the Performance Goals. 
(d) The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce the amount of any Award subject to this Section 7 based on such criteria as it shall determine. However, the Committee may not increase the amounts payable pursuant to any Award subject to this Section 7 or waive the achievement of the applicable Performance Goals, except as the Committee may provide in a particular Award’s Award Agreement for certain events, including but not limited to death, disability, or a change in ownership or control of the Company. 
(e) Prior to the payment of any Award subject to this Section 7, the Committee shall verify in writing as prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder that the applicable Performance Goals were achieved. 
(f) The Committee shall have the authority to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Section 7 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards meet the requirements for “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

SECTION 8. OPTIONS: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Section 8, the Committee may grant to Participants Options on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in such Option’s Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Exercise Price; vesting schedule; term of the Option; method of payment of the Exercise Price; treatment upon termination of employment or service of the Participant; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate: 
(a) Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 8(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. 
(b) The Committee will determine the term of each Option in its sole discretion. Any Option granted under the Plan will not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
(c) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Committee, but will be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. In addition, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c), Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code. 
(d) At the time an Option is granted, the Committee will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 
(e) The Committee will determine the acceptable form(s) of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. 
SECTION 9. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Section 9, the Committee may grant to Participants SARs on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in such SAR’s Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Exercise Price; vesting schedule; term of the SAR; form of payment; treatment upon termination of employment or service of the Participant; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate: 
(a) The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan, provided, however, that the exercise price will be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. 
(b) Each SAR grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
(c) A SAR granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any SARs granted under the Plan will not be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 

(d) Upon exercise of a SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SARs exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
SECTION 10. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant to Participants Restricted Stock Awards on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in such Restricted Stock Award’s Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the vesting schedule; purchase price, if any; deferrals allowed or required; treatment upon termination of employment or service of the Participant; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in Sections 14 and 16 hereof, the period over which any Restricted Stock Award may fully vest will be no less than three (3) years. 
SECTION 11. PERFORMANCE AWARDS: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant to Participants Performance Awards on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in such Performance Award’s Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the performance period (which will be no less than 12 months); performance criteria; treatment upon termination of employment or service of the Participant; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate. 
SECTION 12. OTHER STOCK AWARDS: Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant to Participants Other Stock Awards on such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe in such Other Stock Award’s Award Agreement, including, but not limited to, the vesting schedule, if any; purchase price, if any; deferrals allowed or required; treatment upon termination of employment or service of the Participant; and other terms and conditions that the Committee may deem appropriate. 
SECTION 13. PROHIBITION ON REPRICING: The Committee shall not reduce the Exercise Price of any outstanding Option or SAR, whether through amendment, cancellation, replacement, or any other means, without the approval of stockholders. This Section 13 shall not be construed to apply: (i) to the Options or SARs granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution of another option in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; or (ii) to an adjustment made pursuant to Section 5(f) of the Plan. 
SECTION 14. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: Unless determined otherwise by the Committee with respect to any Award granted under the Plan, the following rules shall apply to Awards following a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and its Affiliates (or termination of services, in the case of a Consultant): 
(a) All unvested Awards shall be forfeited on the date of a Participant’s termination of employment for reasons other than Retirement, Disability or death. 
(b) Upon a Participant’s termination of employment by reason of Retirement, Disability or death, all unvested Options, SARs, Restricted Stock Awards and Other Stock Awards shall become fully vested and any Performance Shares or Performance Units shall be payable to the extent determined by the Committee. 
(c) Upon termination of employment by reason of Retirement or Disability, Options shall be exercisable until not later than the earlier of three years after the termination date or expiration of their term. Upon the death of a Participant while employed by the Company or an Affiliate or after terminating by reason of Retirement or Disability, Options shall be exercisable by the Participant’s Beneficiary not later than the earliest of one year after the date of death, three years after the date of termination due to Retirement or Disability, or the expiration of their term. All SARs that become vested on termination of employment by reason of Retirement, Disability or death shall be exercisable as determined by the Committee, which determination may provide for an automatic exercise date. 

(d) Upon termination for any reason other than Retirement, Disability or death, any Options vested prior to such termination may be exercised during the three-month period (or such other period as may be set by the Committee) commencing on the termination date, but not later than the expiration of their term. If a Participant dies during such post-employment period, such Participant’s Beneficiary may exercise the Options (to the extent they were vested and exercisable on the date of employment termination), but not later than the earlier of one year after the date of death or the expiration of their term. 
SECTION 15. WITHHOLDING: The Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary and appropriate for the withholding of any taxes that the Company is required by law or regulation of any governmental authority, whether federal, state, local, domestic, or foreign, to withhold in connection with the grant, exercise, payment, or removal of restrictions of an Award, including, but not limited to, requiring the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements in cash or Shares or withholding cash or Shares due or to become due with respect to the Award at issue. 
SECTION 16. CHANGE IN CONTROL: In the event of a Change in Control, all Awards shall vest and the value of each Participant’s Performance Units and Performance Shares shall immediately be paid in cash or shares to the Participant in accordance with the relevant Award Agreement. SARs that become vested upon a Change in Control shall be exercisable as determined by the Committee, which determination may provide for an automatic exercise date. The surviving entity in the event of a Change in Control may assume such fully vested Awards without the consent of Participants. 
SECTION 17. POSTPONEMENT OF ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY: The issuance and delivery of any Shares under this Plan may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required to comply with any applicable requirements under any applicable listing requirement of any national securities exchange or any law or regulation applicable to the issuance and delivery of Shares, and the Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any Shares if the issuance or delivery of such Shares shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange. 
SECTION 18. NO RIGHT TO AWARDS: No employee or Consultant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniform treatment of employees, Consultants or Directors under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to different Participants. 
SECTION 19. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR DIRECTORSHIP: The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or as a Consultant of the Company or an Affiliate or any right to remain as a member of the Board, as the case may be. The Company may at any time terminate an employee’s employment or a Consultant’s provision of services free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement. 
SECTION 20. NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER: A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance and delivery of such Shares. 
SECTION 21. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, becomes, or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the remainder of the Plan or such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 
SECTION 22. NO TRUST OR FUND CREATED: Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any 

Affiliate and a Participant or any other person. To the extent any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or an Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
SECTION 23. HEADINGS: Headings are given to the Sections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provisions thereof. 
SECTION 24. NONASSIGNABILITY: Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, no Participant or Beneficiary may sell, assign, transfer, discount, or pledge as collateral for a loan, or otherwise anticipate any right to payment under the Plan other than by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. Under such procedures as the Committee may establish, Awards may be transferred by gift to members of a Participant’s immediate family (i.e., children, grandchildren and spouse) or to one or more trusts for their benefit or to partnerships in which such family members and the Participant are the only partners, provided that (i) any agreement governing such Award expressly so permits or is amended to so permit, (ii) the Participant does not receive any consideration for such transfer, and (iii) the Participant provides such documentation or information concerning any such transfer or transferee as the Committee may reasonably request. Any transferred Awards shall be subject to the same terms and conditions that applied immediately prior to their transfer. In no event shall such transfer rights apply to any Incentive Stock Option. 
SECTION 25. INDEMNIFICATION: In addition to such other rights of indemnification as members of the Board or the Committee or officers or employees of the Company or an Affiliate to whom authority to act for the Board or Committee is delegated may have, such individuals shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal thereof, to which any such individual may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any right granted hereunder and against all amounts paid by such individual in a settlement thereof that is approved by the Company’s legal counsel or paid in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith, or intentional misconduct; provided, however, that any such individual shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to defend the same before such individual undertakes to defend such action, suit, or proceeding. 
SECTION 26. FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS: The Committee may adopt, amend, or terminate arrangements, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, to make available tax or other benefits under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction to Participants subject to such laws or to conform with the laws and regulations of any such foreign jurisdiction. 
SECTION 27. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT: Subject to the approval of the Board, where required, the Committee may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that no action shall be taken by the Board or the Committee without the approval of stockholders that would: 
(a) Increase the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, except as provided in Section 5(f); 
(b) Increase the limits applicable to Awards under the plan, except as provided in Sections 5(f) and 7(b); 
(c) Allow for an Exercise Price below the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant of an Option or SAR, except as provided in Section 3(n); 
(d) Amend Section 13 to permit the repricing of outstanding Options or SARs; or 
(e) Require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation, or rule. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the applicable Participant, terminate or adversely affect any material right or obligation under an Award previously 

granted under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan or an Award in whole or in part, without the consent of the Participant, to the extent necessary to conform the provisions of the Plan or an Award with Section 409A of the Code or regulations thereunder regardless of whether such alteration, amendment, suspension, or termination adversely affects the rights or obligations under the Award. 
SECTION 28. APPLICABLE LAW: This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its principles of conflict of laws. 
SECTION 29. NO GUARANTEE OF FAVORABLE TAX TREATMENT: Although the Committee intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 409A of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local, or foreign law. The Company shall not be liable to any Participant for any tax the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any Award under the Plan.ex10_1.htm

Real Estate Term Loan: 353914-01

CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

This agreement is dated as of May 30, 2012.  It is between QAD ORTEGA HILL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) and RABOBANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Lender”).

 

Borrower requests that Lender make a term loan to Borrower.  Lender will make a term loan, subject to the terms of this agreement.

 

ARTICLE 1- THE REAL ESTATE TERM LOAN

 

1.01           Loan Amount.   Lender shall lend Borrower the principal sum of $16,053,651.44 (the "Loan").

 

1.02           Purpose. The Loan must be used only to refinance Borrower’s existing term loan with Lender (Loan No. 9417427988)

 

1.03           Interest.  The unpaid principal balance of the Loan will bear interest at a rate equal to the one month LIBOR plus 2.250% per annum, Adjusted on the fifteenth day of each Loan Month, with LIBOR determined two London Banking Days immediately preceding the date of the respective Adjustment (the "LIBOR Indexed Rate").  The term "Loan Month" means the one month period beginning on the fifteenth day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date, and each successive one month period.

 

1.04           Required Payments; Maturity Date.

 

(a)              Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the Loan on July 15, 2012 and on the fifteenth day of each month after the Closing Date to the Maturity Date.

 

(b)              Borrower shall pay Loan principal at the times and in the respective amount shown on Schedule 1.04(b) attached.

 

(c)              The unpaid principal balance of, all unpaid accrued interest on, and all other charges under this agreement with respect to the Loan, shall be paid on June 1, 2022 (the "Maturity Date").

 

1.05           Prepayments.  Prepayments of the Loan may be made at any time without prepayment fee or penalty.

 

1.06           The Note.  The Loan will be evidenced by this agreement and a promissory note in a form provided by Lender (the "Note").

 

ARTICLE 2 - COVENANTS REGARDING THE LOAN

 

2.01           Computation of Interest.  All computations of accrued interest under the Loan Documents other than interest at the Maximum Rate, and all computations of fees under the Loan Documents, will be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed; and all computations of interest accrued at the Maximum Rate will be based upon a year of the actual number of days in the respective year.  Subject to Section 2.04, there is no limit on the amount that a rate of interest subject to Adjustment by Lender may increase at any one time, or in the aggregate.  Lender's determination of a rate of interest will be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

2.02           Late Fee.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower shall pay a late fee in the amount of 2.000% of the amount of any scheduled payment due prior to the Maturity Date that is not paid in full when due; provided, however, that any payment for the full amount then due that is made within 10 days of its due date shall not be subject to a late fee.  The imposition and payment of a late fee will not constitute a waiver of Lender's rights with respect to an Event of Default as a result of that late payment.

 

2.03           Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all other Loan Obligations shall, from the date of an Event of Default until the date Lender notifies Borrower that such Event of Default is waived or cured or all Loan Obligations are paid in full, bear interest at the Default Rate.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04, the "Default Rate" means (a) with respect to the unpaid principal balance of any Loan, the rate per annum which is equal to the otherwise applicable rate, plus 2.000% per annum; and (b) with respect to all other Loan Obligations, 5.000% per annum.  Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be paid from time to time on demand, or if not sooner demanded, on the fifteenth day of each month.  The provisions of this section may result in the compounding of interest.  The provisions of this section will not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

2.04           Maximum Rate.  Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, (a) no interest will be due on any amount due under this agreement if, under Applicable Law, Lender is not permitted to charge interest on that amount, and (b) in all other cases interest due under this agreement will be calculated at a rate not to exceed the Maximum Rate.  If Borrower is requested by Lender to pay interest on any amount due under this agreement at a rate greater than the Maximum Rate, the amount of interest due on that amount will be deemed the Maximum Rate and all payments in excess of the Maximum Rate will be deemed to have been Prepayments without prepayment fee or penalty, and not interest.  All amounts other than interest which are paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of Borrower's indebtedness to Lender under this agreement shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized over the full stated term of the indebtedness, so that the rate of interest on account of that indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Rate for so long as the indebtedness is outstanding.

 

2.05           Method and Application of Payments. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made under the Loan Documents shall be made to Lender in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds, without set-off, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 2:00 pm (California time) on the dates on which those payments will become due (any of those payments made after the time on the due date will be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, or otherwise required by Applicable Law, payments will be applied first to accrued, unpaid interest, then to any unpaid collection costs, late charges and other charges, and any remaining amount to principal, provided, however, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender reserves the right to apply payments among principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges in such order of priority as Lender shall from time to time determine in its sole discretion.  The early or late date of making a regularly scheduled payment will be disregarded for purposes of allocating the payment between principal and interest.  For this purpose, the payment will be treated as though made on the date due.  In any legal action or proceeding, the entries made by Lender in an account or accounts maintained by Lender or Rabobank International or any of their Affiliates in accordance with its usual practice and evidencing the Obligations, will be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of those Obligations.

 

2.06           ACH Payments.  So long as any Loan Obligations are unpaid or unsatisfied, Borrower and/or QAD Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QAD”), shall maintain a demand deposit account with Lender (the "Designated Account") in good standing.  Borrower authorizes (and shall cause QAD to authorize, as applicable) Lender to, at Lender's option in each instance, initiate debits to the Designated Account, on the due date, for all interest and principal payments, any fees and expenses, and any other amounts due and payable by Borrower with respect to the Loan and Interest Hedging Obligations, by means of the automatic clearinghouse electronic funds transfer system, by direct debit of the Designated Account, or by any other commercially accepted method (hereafter, "ACH Payments").  Lender shall give Borrower not less than ten days notice before beginning ACH Payments.   If Lender elects to initiate ACH Payments, Borrower will thereafter maintain sufficient funds in the Designated Account on the dates Lender enters debits for ACH Payment of regularly scheduled payments of interest, principal, and fees, if any.  If there are insufficient funds in the Designated Account on the date Lender enters any debit authorized by this agreement, Lender may reverse the debit.  Borrower agrees to upon request by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender an ACH Payment authorization in form and content satisfactory to Lender.  Subject to Section 2.04, all rates of interest specified in this agreement shall be increased by 0.100% per annum if Borrower does not maintain the Designated Account in good standing.

 

2.07           Inability to Determine Rates.  If, in connection with any Loan bearing interest at a rate to be determined in whole or in part on the basis of an applicable LIBOR based index (a “LIBOR Based Rate”), Lender determines that (a) United States dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the applicable LIBOR Based Rate, or (c) the applicable LIBOR Based Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding that Loan, Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower.  Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make or maintain any Loan bearing interest at the applicable LIBOR Based Rate shall be suspended until Lender revokes such notice, and all Loans which would otherwise bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Based Rate shall accrue interest at a comparable rate based on an index designated by Lender in its sole discretion after notice to Borrower.

(b)              all Liens upon and security interests created under any other written instrument or agreement stating expressly that it secures all or any portion of the indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of Borrower under the terms of this specific agreement.

 

3.02           Due on Sale or Encumbrance Provisions.  Each Collateral Document which is a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt includes the following provision:  Grantor shall not make or permit any Prohibited Transfer.  Any Prohibited Transfer shall be an Event of Default, permitting Beneficiary to declare all of the Secured Obligations to be due and payable immediately.  "Prohibited Transfer" means:  (a) any sale, contract to sell, conveyance, encumbrance, pledge, mortgage, lease of the Property not expressly permitted under this instrument or the other Secured Obligation Documents, or other transfer of all or any material part of the Property or any interest in it, including any transfer of Mineral Rights, Water Rights, or Water Stock, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) if Grantor is a corporation, any transfer or transfers of shares of the voting power or the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of Grantor; (c) if Grantor is a partnership, withdrawal or removal of any general partner, dissolution of the partnership under Applicable Law, or any transfer or transfers of the partnership interests; (d) if Grantor is a limited liability company, withdrawal or removal of any managing member (but not of any non-member manager), termination of the limited liability company or any transfer or transfers of the voting power or the ownership of the economic interest in the Grantor; or (e) if Grantor is a trust, withdrawal or removal of any trustee or revocation of the trust.

Borrower shall maintain in full force and effect, one or more interest rate swaps or other similar agreements with Lender, an Affiliate of Lender, or another counterparty acceptable to Lender, and in a form and substance satisfactory to Lender, which effectively enables Borrower to protect itself against the risk of interest rate fluctuations as to a notional principal amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan for a term up to and including the applicable Maturity Date.

At all times prior to repayment of the Obligations, the Annual Net Operating Income for the Real Estate shall be adequate to support a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.25:1.00.
