Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Bank agrees to establish a revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (The “Line Amount”) in favor of the Borrower (the “Line”).

(b) Interest. The Line will have two Interest Options. (1) Advances shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 0.75% (the Applicable Margin for Option 1) plus the Base Rate OR (2) Advances shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 3.50% (the Applicable Margin for Option 2) plus One Month LIBOR.

(c) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Advances shall be used to pay current operating expenses, carry accounts receivable and for other short-term working capital needs of the Borrower.

(d) Payments. The unpaid principal balance of the Advances and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be repaid on the Termination Date.
