ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT. On July 27, 2006, EasyLink Services Corporation and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiary EasyLink Services USA, Inc. (collectively, "EasyLink") entered into a credit facility (the "Credit Facility") and related documents with CAPCO Financial Company, a division of Greater Bay Bank N.A. ("CAPCO"). Under the Credit Facility, EasyLink may receive credit advances of up to $6,000,000, subject to a maximum of 80% to 85% of the value of certain accounts receivable. The advances will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to Greater Bay Bank N.A.'s prime rate plus 2.0%. The Credit Facility has an initial term of 24 months unless terminated by EasyLink upon 30 days' prior written notice. CAPCO may terminate the Credit Facility after 12 months upon 90 days' prior written notice if EasyLink should fail to meet CAPCO's then existing underwriting criteria. There are no financial covenants under the Credit Facility, but it does contain customary events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy proceedings and changes of control of EasyLink. Upon an event of default, the Credit Facility provides that, among other things, the outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility may be declared immediately due and payable and interest on outstanding advances will increase to 5.0% over the interest rate otherwise in effect. All obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by all of the assets of EasyLink (excluding capital stock of EasyLink or EasyLink's subsidiaries). On July 27, 2006, EasyLink drew down an advance of $5.9 million under the Credit Facility and used the funds to pay off its existing loan balance with Wells Fargo, along with other fees and expenses. EasyLink's loan facility with Wells Fargo was terminated upon this payoff. A copy of the Credit Facility is included herein as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Credit Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility. ITEM 2.03.
