Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The Registrant and its wholly- owned subsidiary, LEAF 4A SPE, LLC, as borrower, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2009, among LEAF 4A SPE, as borrower; the Registrant; and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC, as agent and lender. Other non-borrowing parties to the agreement are LEAF Funding, Inc., as originator; and LEAF Financial Corporation, as servicer.
The loan agreement provides the Registrant, as parent of the borrower, with a revolving line of credit with an aggregate borrowing limit of $75 million until the maturity date, February 9, 2012. The collateral for the loan is specific lease receivables and related equipment. The Registrant will enter into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate at the time of each borrowing. Interest and principal are due monthly as payments are received on the lease receivables collateralizing the borrowing. An event of default such as non-payment of amounts when due under the loan agreement or a breach of financial covenants may accelerate the maturity date of the loan agreement.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
