NON-NEGOTIABLE PROMISSORY NOTE
$------------- ----------,------------
____________ ___, 2001
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FIRST SOUTHERN BANCORP, INC., a
Kentucky corporation ("MAKER"), having an address of
______________________________ hereby promises and agrees to pay to
___________________, ("PAYEE"), having an address of
_______________________________, the aggregate principal sum of
_________________ DOLLARS ($___________), together with interest thereon as
hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States of America, in the
manner set forth herein, on or before the date _____________, 2006 (the
"MATURITY DATE"). This Note is being issued pursuant to that certain Common
Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of _____________, 2001, among the Maker,
Payee and certain others named therein and shall be governed by the terms
thereof (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"). This Note is one of several notes issued
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
The principal of this Note prior to any default hereunder shall accrue
interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of 7% per annum. All
interest on this Note shall be computed daily on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over a year assumed to consist of three hundred sixty-five (365)
days. All accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be paid quarterly on
the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the
Maturity Date and any other date on which the unpaid principal balance of this
Note is paid in full until the principal balance of this Note is paid. Such
payment of interest shall commence on the first day referenced in the foregoing
sentence to occur after the date of this Note.
Principal of this Note shall be paid as follows: 20% of the face
principal amount of this Note shall be paid on the date that is one (1) year
from the date of this Note; 20% of the face principal amount of this Note shall
be paid on the date that is two (2) years from the date of this Note; 20% of the
face principal amount of this Note shall be paid on the date that is three (3)
years from the date of this Note; 20% of the face principal amount of this Note
shall be paid on the date that is four (4) years from the date of this Note; and
the remaining 20% of the face principal amount of this Note shall be paid on the
Maturity Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, principal of this Note may be prepaid in
whole or in part without penalty or premium at any time prior to maturity;
provided, however, that Maker shall not be entitled to reborrow any amounts so
prepaid. All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in
such order and manner as Payee may from time to time determine in its sole
discretion.
1
59
All payments of principal and interest and any other sums due under
this Note shall be made by check or money order to Payee at the address first
set forth above for the Payee in this Note or at such other address as may be
designated in writing by the Payee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all the Payees on
this Note and the other Notes issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement give
Maker joint written instructions at least ten (10) days prior to the date when
any payment is due under this Note and such other Notes that all such payments
under this Note and such other Notes be made in one lump sum payment by wire
transfer to one account and such instructions contain appropriate account
information, Maker shall make such payment to such account in immediately
available funds on the date such payment is due as well as all subsequent
payments under this Note and such other Notes when and as due until notified
otherwise in writing by all such Payees. Unless otherwise agreed to, in writing,
or otherwise required by applicable law, payments will be applied among
principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges at Payee's
discretion.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute a
default under this Note: [i] if principal or interest under this Note is not
paid as and when due; [ii] a proceeding being filed or commenced against Maker
for dissolution or liquidation that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days
after filing, or Maker voluntarily or involuntarily terminating or dissolving or
being terminated or dissolved; or [iii] insolvency of, business failure of, the
appointment of a custodian, trustee, liquidator or receiver for or for any of
the property of, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors by or the filing
of a petition under bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor's relief law, or for any
readjustment of indebtedness, composition or extension by, Maker, or against (if
not dismissed within thirty (30) days) Maker. Maker shall notify the Payee in
writing of the occurrence of any of the foregoing items [ii] or [iii].
Whenever there is a default under this Note (other than a default due
to the failure to pay the principal or interest under this Note when and as due)
the entire principal balance of and all accrued interest on this Note shall, at
the option of Payee, become forthwith due and payable upon demand by Payee if
within ten (10) days after written notice of such default from Payee is received
by Maker, Maker fails to cure such default within such ten-day period. Whenever
there is a default under this Note due to the failure of Maker to pay the
principal or interest under this Note when and as due, the entire principal
balance of and all accrued interest on this Note shall, at the option of the
Payee, become forthwith due and payable upon demand by Payee if within three (3)
days after written notice of such default from Payee is received by Maker, Maker
fails to cure such default within such three-day period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
if the default is with respect to any payment to be made by wire transfer in
accordance herewith, the entire principal balance of and all accrued interest on
this Note shall, at the option of the Payee, become forthwith due and payable
upon demand by Payee if within two (2) days after written or oral notice of such
default from the Payee is received by Maker, Maker fails to cure such default
within such two-day period. If the date of any payment of interest or principal
under this Note or the last day of any grace period provided under this Note
shall fall on a date which is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a holiday on which
national or state banks located in Kentucky are generally not open for business,
then such payment shall be deemed due on, and the last day of such grace period
shall be deemed to be, the next day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which
national or state banks located in Kentucky are generally open for business.
Upon any uncured default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, Payee,
at its option, may also, if permitted under
2
60
applicable law, do one or both of the following: (a) increase the applicable
interest rate on this Note by three (3) percentage points, and (b) add, on the
date of such increase, any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum
will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note
(including any increased rate). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the interest rate on this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
Failure of the holder of this Note to exercise any of its rights and
remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise the same at that
or any other time. All rights and remedies of the holder for default under this
Note shall be cumulative to the greatest extent permitted by law. Time shall be
of the essence in the payment of all interest and principal on this Note and the
performance of Maker's other obligations under this Note.
If there is any default under this Note, and this Note is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any court, including
any bankruptcy court, Maker promises to pay to the holder hereof its reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs incurred in collecting or attempting to collect
or securing or attempting to secure this Note, provided the same is legally
allowed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
If any provision, or portion thereof, of this Note, or the application
thereof to any persons or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Note, or the application of such provision,
or portion thereof, to any other person or circumstances shall not be affected
thereby, and each provision of this Note shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
Maker and any other party who may become primarily or secondarily
liable for any of the obligations of Maker hereunder hereby, except where
otherwise provided herein, jointly and severally waive presentment, demand,
notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and diligence in collection, and
further waive all exemptions to which they may now or hereafter be entitled
under the laws of this or any other state or of the United States, and further
agree that the holder of this Note shall have the right without notice, to deal
in any way, at any time, with Maker, or any guarantor of this Note or with any
other party who may become primarily or secondarily liable for, or pledge any
collateral as security for, any of the obligations of Maker under this Note and
to grant any extension of time for payment of this Note or any other indulgence
or forbearance whatsoever, and may release any security for the payment of this
Note and/or modify the terms of any document securing or pertaining to this
Note, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker, or such other party
who may pledge any collateral as security for, or become primarily or
secondarily liable for, the obligations of Maker hereunder and without waiving
any rights the holder may have hereunder or by virtue of the laws of the State
of Illinois or any other state of the Unites States.
