Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Form 8-K and other reports filed by the Registrant from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may
contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs
of, and information currently available to, Registrant’s management as well as
estimates and assumptions made by the Registrant’s management. When used in the
filings the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”,
“intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they
relate to the Registrant or the Registrant’s management identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Registrant with
respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions,
and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of the
Registrant’s Form 10-K entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to the Registrant’s
industry, the Registrant’s operations and results of operations, and any
businesses that may be acquired by the Registrant. Should one or more of these
risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although
the Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, the Registrant cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by
applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the
Registrant does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to
conform these statements to actual results.
Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On July
13, 2009, Premier Power Renewable Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Registrant”) entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 with Umpqua Bank, an Oregon
corporation (the “Lender”) for a line of credit of up to $12 million,
maturing on July 13, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan Agreement
provides for an initial line of credit of $7 million (“Initial LOC”), provided,
however, that the Registrant may request no more than twice prior to the
Maturity Date that the line of credit be increased to an amount not to exceed
$12 million (“$12 Million LOC”) in the event the Registrant acquires another
subsidiary and requires additional working capital for such
subsidiary. The actual maximum amount loaned under the line of credit
shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the $12 Million LOC or the
Registrant’s borrowing base, which borrowing base is dependent on the amounts of
the Registrant’s eligible accounts receivables and inventory as defined in the
Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Registrant issued
to Lender a promissory note (the "Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
10.2 evidencing the revolving line of credit with an aggregate principle value
of up to $7 million, plus interest on the unpaid principal balance at an
interest rate equal to prime rate as set forth in the Wall Street Journal,
provided, however, that the interest rate will not be less than five percent
(5%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”). Interest on the Note commences
accruing on July 13, 2009 and is payable in arrears commencing on August 1, 2009
and on the first day of each month thereafter. The Registrant may prepay
all or any portion of the amounts owed under the line of credit earlier than it
is due at any time without penalty except that the Lender shall be entitled to a
minimum interest charge of $250.00. In the event an increase of the
line of credit is requested by the Registrant and granted by the Lender, the
Registrant and the Lender will enter into a modification of the existing Note
and Loan Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 (the
“Modification Agreement”) and will amend existing and/or execute additional
agreements in connection with the securing the indebtedness under the line of
credit as set forth in the Loan Agreement to reflect the increased line of
credit. Under the Loan Agreement, the Registrant may request
the Lender to issue letters of credit for the Registrant that in the aggregate
may not exceed $5 million. The Registrant must pay all fees and costs
incurred by the Bank in issuing the letters of credit including a fee of one and
one-half percent (1.50%) per annum of the average aggregate face amount of all
letters of credit outstanding. In the event of default under the
terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender: (i) may exercise all available rights
and remedies at law, in equity, or in any of the loan documents, (ii) may,
without further notice, declare the entire indebtedness, including any
prepayment penalty which Registrant may be required to pay, immediately due and
payable, (iii) may, without any further notice, terminate any obligation it has
under the Loan Agreement to make any further advances under the line of credit
or to issue letters of credit; and (iv) may increase the interest rate under the
Note to the Interest Rate plus and additional five percent (5.0%) per
annum.
The line
of credit was secured by the assets of the (i) Registrant, (ii) Premier Power
Renewable Energy, Inc., a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
the Registrant (“
Premier
Power California
”), (iii) Bright Future Technologies, LLC, a Nevada
limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Power
California (“Bright Future”), and (iv) Premier Power Sociedad Limitada, a
limited liability company formed in Spain and wholly owned subsidiary of Premier
Power California (“Premier Power Spain”) (such assets hereinafter the
“Collateral”) pursuant to Commercial Security Agreements (the “Security
Agreements”) and riders to such Security Agreements (the “Riders”) in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibits 10. 4 through 10.10 entered into by the Lender with
each of the Registrant, Premier Power California, Bright Future, and Premier
Power Spain on July 13, 2009. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
Registrant also executed an Agreement to Provide Insurance in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.11 under which the Registrant agreed to obtain insurance
for the collateral securing the line of credit, and it also executed a
Disbursement Request and Authorization in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
10.12 (“Disbursement Request”) under which the Registrant requested that the
proceeds under the line of credit to be disbursed pursuant to the terms of the
Loan Agreement. I
n
addition, the Loan Agreement requires the Registrant have the landlords of its
leased company facilities execute a Landlord Release and Waiver substantially in
the forms attached hereto as Exhibits 10.13 through 10.15 (collectively, the
“Landlord Releases”) under which the landlords shall each consent to the
Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and agree that any claims that the
landlords may have in the Collateral shall be subject to and subordinate to the
Lender’s existing or future security interest in the Collateral and subject to
the rights granted to the Lender by the landlords under the Landlord
Release
.
The
foregoing summary descriptions of the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Modification
Agreement, the Security Agreements (including Riders), the Agreement to Provide
Insurance, Disbursement Request and the Landlord Releases do not purport to be
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to full text of the
aforementioned documents contained in Exhibits 10.1 through 10.15, which are
