Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 12, 2005, we borrowed $783,000 under a promissory note in favor of General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") to finance the purchase of equipment and facility improvements, which collateralize the amount borrowed.
The note has a principal amount of $783,000 and pursuant to the terms of the note, we are required to pay monthly principal and interest payments over 48 months at an interest rate of 9.44%. If any of our monthly payments are not made within 10 days of their due date or if we are in default or fail to perform under the Master Security Agreement with GECC dated December 19, 2002 (the "Master Security Agreement"), any principal remaining unpaid under the note and any accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of 18% or the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law.
We have an ongoing relationship with GECC for the provision of equipment acquisition and facility improvement financing. As of June 30, 2005, not including the note discussed above, the total amount outstanding to GECC with regard to such financing was $5,964,000.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
