On August 11, 2008, Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Loan Agreement and related Stock Security Agreement and Promissory Note (the credit facility) with United Bank, pursuant to which the Company may borrow, on a revolving basis, up to $20 million for working capital purposes, to finance capital contributions to its subsidiaries, EagleBank, Bethesda, Maryland and Eagle Commercial Ventures, LLC. The credit facility is secured by a first lien on all of the stock of EagleBank, and bears interest at a floating rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate minus 0.25%. Interest is payable on a monthly basis. The term of the credit facility expires on August 31, 2010. At any time, provided no event of default exists, the Company may term out repayment of the outstanding principal balance of the credit facility over a five year term, based on a ten year straight line amortization.
The credit facility contains certain customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, including the following financial covenants: (1) maintaining an allowance for loan losses of not less than 55% of nonperforming assets (as calculated in the Loan Agreement); (2) maintaining EagleBanks Tier 1 Capital Leverage Ratio, Total Risk Based Capital Ratio and Tier 1 Risk Based Capital Ratio as well capitalized; (3) maintaining the Companys and EagleBanks consolidated non-performing assets at less than 18% of primary equity capital, as defined; (4) maintaining consolidated net income (exclusive of extraordinary and nonrecurring items) to average total assets for the Company and EagleBank at not less than 0.50%; and (5) maintaining a ratio of investment in bank subsidiary to consolidated equity less goodwill of not more than 125% as of any fiscal quarter end. Upon the occurrence of any event of default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) which is continuing, Lender shall have the right to declare the amount owned under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
The foregoing summary of the Loan Agreement, Stock Security Agreement and the Promissory Note is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, the Stock Security Agreement and the Promissory Note, the forms of which of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
