("The Company") guaranteed by Rigaku/USA, Inc. to support an Industrial Revenue Bond issue for the financing of the construction of a new building and acquisition of equipment in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The following is intended to be a summary of the principal terms and conditions for this transaction with the actual letter of credit documents including other provisions typical to this type of credit facility. A. LETTER OF CREDIT: Parties: Proposed irrevocable letter of credit ("UC") to be issued by Bank One ("The Bank") in favor of a trustee to be named for the account of the Company. Purpose: To insure the payment of $8,800,000 in Industrial Revenue Bonds to be issued for the benefit of the Company for its project located in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Amount: Bank One's aggregate liability under the L/C will not exceed $8,930,192 which includes required interest coverage ($130,932) and principal of up to $8,800,000. The interest coverage represents 45 days of interest at a maximum rate of 12% based on a 365 day year. Bond Format: The bonds would initially be marketed on a "lower-floater" basis, i.e. interest rate re-set weekly to reflect the then current market rate for equivalent tax exempt securities. Bondholders would have the right to tender their Bonds to the Trustee for purchase by the Company on seven days notice. The Remarketing Agent would endeavor to sell any Bonds tendered by the tender date. Any Bonds not remarketed could be held by the Company pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement until a remarketing opportunity arose (as detailed in Reimbursement Agreement paragraph below) or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Bond documentation would provide the Company an option to convert the Bonds to a fixed rate if buyers could be found at mutually acceptable rates and terms. In the event of such conversion, the Bank One L/C would be amended to accommodate the fixed rate option or terminated. Prior to such conversion, the Bonds would be prepayable in multiples of $100,000 without premium at the option of the Company upon 45 days notice. Bond Maturities: Annual principal redemptions under the reimbursement agreement as follow:' Years 1 and 2 Interest only. No principal redemptions. Years 3 through 19 $500,000 Year 20 $300,000 Years 21 through 30 $-0- Principal redemption schedule under the reimbursement agreement may be extended or modified at the sole discretion of Bank One. Interest is paid monthly. So long as the Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, the Bonds are prepayable in multiples of $100,000 without premium, at the option of the Company. Prepayments can occur only on interest payment dates with 45 days notice to the bondholders. If the Company elects to convert to a fixed rate, then customary fixed rate prepayment terms would apply. CREDIT ENHANCEMENT/REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT: Letter of Credit Commission: .75% per annum, payable in advance annually, based upon Bank One's liability under the L/C (including any liability subject to reinstatement). The conunission rate may be subject to annual adjustment as provided in the paragraph entitled "Yield Protection" below. Facility Fee: $25,000 fee for issuance of the L/C with $15,000 payable upon acceptance (non-refundable) and the remaining balance payable at issuance. Disbursement Expenses: $100 fee for each draw by the Trustee under the L/C. Expenses: Legal expenses of Bank One, together with all other out-of-pocket costs including but not limited to pre- construction review, construction monitoring, construction draws, environmental and other surveys, and appraisals as required by the Bank to be paid by the Company. Letter of Credit Reductions: Reductions in the L/C will be automatically instituted with each scheduled principal payment and will also be perrnitted by written authorization of the Trustee based on any principal prepayments of the Bonds. Reductions and Early Termination: Prepaid commissions will be refunded on a pro-rata basis after the first year as L/C reductions are authorized by the Trustee as a result of scheduled Bond principal payments or prepayments. If Bank One is replaced with another bank as letter of credit issuer for the Bonds, or the Bonds are refunded through another issue prior to an expiry date, a premium will be due. The premium will be equal to the commissions that would accrue over the remaining scheduled maturities at the then existing commission rate discounted to the L/C scheduled expiry date. The commissions will be discounted at the then current U.S. Treasury rate with maturity equal to the remaining term of the L/C plus 50 basis points. However no such premium will be payable if Bank One's credit rating by a major credit rating agency declines below Single A and the replacement bank's equivalent rating is Single A or higher. Letter of Credit Expiry: Not later than 15 days following the third anniversary of the Bonds' issuance date unless extended at the sole discretion of Bank One. Upon the Company's request (received no later than 90 days prior to the original expiry date or any subsequent extension thereof) Bank One will, within 30 days, advise the Company of the terms under which it is willing to extend the existing expiry date. Yield Protection: The Company would be required to reimburse the Bank for any increased cost in the issuing or maintaining of the L/C imposed by a change in any law, rule, regulation, or circumstance affecting the Bank's yield. This would include any change to capital adequacy requirements. Drawing Rights: Drawings under the L/C by the Trustee may result from: I. Payment of principal and/or interest on the Bonds when due. 2. Default under the Bond Indenture if the Trustee is required, at the direction of the Bondholders, to accelerate payment of the Bonds. 3. A default under the Reimbursement Agreement resulting in Bank One directing the trustee to prepay the Bonds. 4. The tender of Bonds under the Bondholders' tender option if the Bonds are not remarketed by the tender date. Reimbursement Agreement: As the draws described above are made, the Company will then reimburse the Bank for those draws under the terms and conditions of the Reimbursement Agreement entered into between the Company and the Bank. The Reimbursement Agreement between Bank One and the Company will provide as follows: I. So long as no default exists, the Company may defer payment of the principal portion of its reimbursement obligation arising from Bonds being tendered and not remarketed until the earlier of 180 days after the date of the drawing or the expiry of the L/C.
