Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 31, 2007, the Company executed a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $7,000,000 payable to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”).
Pursuant to the promissory note, the Company promised to pay to Chase $7,000,000, or such lesser amount as may then be the unpaid balance of each loan made or letter of credit issued by Chase to the Company thereunder, upon the maturity date of July 31, 2008. The Company has the right to prepay all or part of any outstanding amounts under the promissory note without penalty at any time prior to the maturity date. The promissory note bears interest at an annual rate equal to either (i) a floating rate equal to the prime rate, (ii) a fixed rate equal to an adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.625% or (iii) a fixed rate equal to a rate of interest offered by Chase from time to time on any single commercial borrowing. The promissory note contains various events of default that are customary for instruments of that type. In addition, it is an event of default for any security interest or other encumbrance to be created or imposed on the Company’s property, other than as permitted in the lien covenant of the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2005, among the Company, the lenders signatory thereto and Chase, as administrative agent, a copy of which was filed by the Company on April 12, 2006 as Exhibit 10.34 to its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2006. Interested parties should read that agreement in its entirety.
