Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Effective June 9, 2005, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Agreement for the Acquisition of Equipment and Leasehold Improvements (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) with Boston Private Bank & Trust Company (the “Lender”) to finance up to $1,450,000 (the “New Loan”) in purchases of equipment and facility leasehold improvements during the period from June 9, 2005 until December 9, 2005. Under the terms of the Line of Credit Agreement, the Company will request periodic loans for qualifying purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements through December 9, 2005. Until December 9, 2005, the Company will pay interest on any borrowings on a monthly basis in arrears. On December 9, 2005, the Company will convert the then outstanding balance into a 36-month term note that bears interest at either a variable rate (7.0% as of June 9, 2005) or a fixed rate (7.15% as of June 9, 2005) for the repayment period.

 

The Company previously has entered into a Loan Agreement effective September 23, 2004, as amended on January 7, 2005, with the Lender pursuant to which the Company has previously borrowed $2,250,000 from the Lender (the “Prior Loan”). The New Loan, together with the Prior Loan, is collateralized by all of the Company’s property, plant and equipment assets, except for those that are affixed to the property and those that are purchased after December 9, 2005 under purchase money arrangements with equipment lenders.

 

To evidence the New Loan, the Company issued to the Lender a Secured Non-Revolving Time Note (the “Note”), dated June 9, 2005 in the principal amount of $1,450,000. The New Loan, together with interest thereon, is secured pursuant to a Security Agreement (Equipment) (the “Security Agreement”) between the Lender and the Company, dated June 9, 2005.
