Item 1.01.             Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 14, 2012, Twin Cities Power, L.L.C. (“TCP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Twin Cities Power Holdings, LLC (“TCPH”), entered into a First Amendment to Loan Documents (the “First Amendment”).  The First Amendment modified the Loan Agreement, Secured Promissory Note, and Security Agreement, each dated July 16th, 2009 (the “Loan Documents”), pursuant to which Patrick C. Sunseri, an employee of TCP, loaned TCP $2,000,000 that was payable on demand (the “Loan”).

 

The First Amendment was entered into as an inducement to Mr. Sunseri to forbear from calling the Loan due and payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  The First Amendment, among other things, does the following: (i) changes the interest accrual to the lower of 15% per annum based on a 365-day year and compounded annually, or at the highest rate permitted by law; (ii) creates a loan payment schedule, which provides for the amortization of principal and interest over a twelve month period beginning on May 1, 2012; and (iii) adds certain additional financial covenants and events of default.  In addition to the personal guaranty provided by Timothy S. Krieger, TCPH’s Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Tufte, in the event of a default by TCP, TCPH has provided a Corporate Guaranty guarantying TCP’s obligations under the Loan Documents.  In connection with the First Amendment, TCP also entered into a First Amendment to Employment Agreement with Mr. Sunseri, which provides for certain modifications in the calculation of profits by the division of TCP in which Mr. Sunseri operates and also requires TCP to maintain certain minimum amounts of working capital.
