EXHIBIT 10.195
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROMISSORY NOTE
[ADDITIONAL ADVANCES]
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO PROMISSORY NOTE [ADDITIONAL ADVANCES]
(this "Amendment") entered into as of this _9th____ day of November, 1999 but
effective for all purposes as of September 30, 1999, between PREFERRED EQUITIES
CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation ("Maker"), and FINOVA CAPITAL CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation ("Lender"), is made with reference to the following:
R E C I T A L S
Maker previously executed and delivered to Lender a Promissory
Note dated December 23, 1998, in the original principal amount of $5,662,000.00
(the "Original Note") to evidence the Loan (the "Additional Advance") made
pursuant to the terms of that certain Forbearance Agreement and Amendment No. 5
to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated December 23,
1998, between Maker and Lender (the "Original Loan Agreement").
Maker and Lender previously entered into a letter agreement
dated September 7, 1999 which extended the Maturity Date of the Original Note to
October 1, 1999 (the "Additional Advance Letter "). The Original Note, as
amended by the Additional Advance Letter, is called the "Additional Advance
Note".
On even date herewith, the Maker and Lender have entered into
a Third Amendment to Forbearance Agreement and Amendment No. 8 to Second Amended
and Restated and Consolidated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Third
Amendment"). The Third Amendment provides, among other things, for the extension
of the Maturity Date for the Additional Advance Note. The Original Loan
Agreement, as amended by Additional Advance Letter; the Third Amendment and all
other amendments executed prior to the date hereof, and as the same may, in the
future, be amended and restated, is called the "Loan Agreement". Capitalized
terms used in this Amendment that are defined in the Loan Agreement shall have
the same meaning when used herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these Recitals, the
covenants contained in this Amendment, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which consideration are hereby
acknowledged, Lender and Maker agree as follows:
1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Additional Advance Note, the Maker agrees that:
2
(a) if not sooner paid, the entire unpaid principal
balance of the Additional Advance Note, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest and fees payable thereunder, shall be due and payable,
in full, to the Lender on December 31, 2000 (the "Maturity Date"); and
(b) in the event that the aggregate amount of Project
Release Fees payments actually received by the Holder prior to March
31,2000 does not equal or exceed $2,000,000.00 (the amount, if any, by
which the aggregate amount of Project Release Fees payments actually
received by the Lender prior to March 31,2000 is less than
$2,000,000.00, is called the "Release Fee Shortfall"), then Maker
shall, on March 31, 2000, pay to Holder a payment on the outstanding
principal balance of the Additional Advance Note in an amount equal to
the Release Fee Shortfall.
2. Maker hereby ratifies and confirms the Additional Advance
Note, as amended hereby, in all respects; and, as amended hereby, the terms
thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment may be attached to
and shall form a part of the Additional Advance Note for all purposes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument is executed as of the date
and year first above written.
