COLLATERAL INSTALLMENT NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LAKELAND INDUSTRIES, INC., a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware ("Customer") hereby promises to
pay to the order of XXXXXXX XXXXX BUSINESS FINANCIAL SERVICES INC., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
("MLBFS"), in lawful money of the United States, the principal sum of Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), or if more or less, the aggregate amount
advanced by MLBFS to Customer pursuant to the Loan Agreement (the "Loan
Amount"); together with interest on the unpaid balance of the Loan Amount, from
the Closing Date until payment, at the Interest Rate (or, if applicable, at the
Default Interest Rate), as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS
(a) In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Note, as used herein, the
following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) "Closing Date" shall mean the date of advancement of funds hereunder.
(ii) "Default Interest Rate" shall mean a rate equal to the sum of the "Interest
Rate", as determined below, plus two percent (2%) per annum.
(iii) "Excess Interest" shall mean any amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by law.
(iv) "Interest Rate" shall mean a variable per annum rate equal to the sum of
(I) 2.45% per annum, and (ii) the interest rate from time to time published in
the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal for 30-day high-grade
unsecured notes sold through dealers by major corporations (the "30-day Dealer
Commercial Paper Rate"). The Interest Rate will change as of the date of
publication in The Wall Street Journal of a 30-day Dealer Commercial Paper Rate
that is different from that published on the preceding Business Day. In the
event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any reason, fail or cease to
publish the 30-day Dealer Commercial paper Rate, MLBFS will choose a reasonably
comparable index or source to use as the basis for the Interest Rate. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Interest Rate May be
increased to the "Default Interest Rate", as herein provided.
(v) "Loan Agreement" shall mean that certain TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
NO. 9909550501 between Customer and MLBFS, as the same may have been or may
hereafter be amended or supplemented.
(vi) "Note" shall mean THIS COLLATERAL INSTALLMENT NOTE.
2. PAYMENT OR OTHER TERMS. Customer shall pay the indebtedness under this Note
in 60 consecutive monthly installments commencing on the first day of the second
calendar month following the Closing Date and continuing on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter until this Note shall be paid in full. Each such
installment in an amount equal to the sum of (I) accrued interest, and (ii)
1/60th of the Loan Amount (with the first such installment including interest
accrued from the date of funding).
Each payment received hereunder shall be applied first to any fees and expenses
of MLBFS payable by Customer under the terms of the Loan Agreement (including,
without limitation, collection fees), next to accrued interest at the Interest
Rate and/or Default Interest Rate, as applicable, with the balance applied on
account of the unpaid principal hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default, but without limiting the rights and remedies
otherwise available to MLBFS or waiving such Default, the interest payable by
Customer hereunder shall be at the option of MLBFS accrue and be payable at the
Default Interest Rate. The Default Interest Rate, once implemented, shall
continue to apply to this Note and be payable by Customer until the date such
Default is either cured or waived in writing by MLBFS. All interest shall be
computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360-day year. All sums
payable hereunder shall be payable at the office of MLBFS at 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxx
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other place or places as the holder
hereof may from time to time appoint in writing.
Customer may prepay this Note at any time in whole or in part; provided,
however, that if any such prepayment is made from the proceeds of a refinancing
of this Note by another lender, such prepayment shall: (I) if made prior to the
end of the first "year" after the Closing Date, be accompanied by a premium
equal to 3% of the amount prepaid; (ii) if made during the second year following
the Closing Date be accompanied by a premium equal to 2% of the amount prepaid;
and (iii) if made thereafter be accompanied by a premium equal to 1% of the
amount prepaid. A "year" for the purposes of this clause is a 365-366 day period
commencing on the Closing Date or any anniversary of the Closing Date. Any
partial prepayment shall be applied to installments of the Loan Amount in
inverse order of maturity.
This Note is the Collateral Installment Note referred to in, and is entitled to
all of the benefits of the Loan Agreement and any Additional Agreements. If
Customer shall fail to pay when due any installment or other sum due hereunder,
and any such failure shall continue for more than five (5) Business Days after
written notice thereof shall have been given by the holder hereof to Customer,
or if any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at
the option of the holder hereof (or, upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy
Event, automatically, without any action on the part of the holder hereof), and
in addition to all other rights and remedies available to such holder under the
Loan Agreement, any Additional Agreements, and otherwise, the entire Loan Amount
at such time remaining unpaid, together with accrued interest thereon and all
other sums then owing by Customer under the Loan Agreement, may be declared to
be and thereby become immediately due and payable.
It is expressly understood, however, that nothing contained in the Loan
Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document executed by Customer, or
otherwise, shall affect or impair the right, which is unconditional and
absolute, of the holder hereof to enforce payment of all sums due under this
Note at or after maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or shall affect
the obligation of Customer, which is also unconditional and absolute, to pay the
sums payable under this Note in accordance with its terms. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement, Customer hereby waives
presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and all other
notices and formalities in connection with this Note.
Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this
Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, the Loan
Agreement or any of the Additional Agreements, no provision of this Note, the
Loan Agreement or any of the Additional Agreements shall require the payment or
permit the collection of any Excess Interest. If any Excess Interest is provided
for, or is adjudicated as being provided for, in this Note, the Loan Agreement
or any of the Additional Agreements, then: (a) Customer shall not be obligated
to pay any Excess Interest; and (b) any Excess interest that MLBFS may have
received under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Additional Agreements
shall, at the option of MLBFS, be: (I) applied as a credit against the then
unpaid principal balance of this Note, or accrued interest hereon not to exceed
the maximum amount permitted by law, or both, (ii) refunded to the payor
thereof, of (iii) any combination of the foregoing.
This Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Illinois and may be enforced by the holder hereof in any jurisdiction in which
the Loan Agreement may be enforced.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Note has been executed by Customer as of the day and
year first above written.
