AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
$5,000,000.00 Dallas, Texas April 13, 2005
For value received, the undersigned XXXXX GOLF, INC., a Delaware corporation, XXXXX GOLF HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation, XXXXX GOLF GP CORP., a Delaware corporation, XXXXX GOLF, LTD., a Texas limited partnership, XXXXX GOLF IP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and XXXXX GOLF MANAGEMENT CORP., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter collectively called "Borrowers") jointly and severally promise to pay as hereinafter provided unto the order of BANK OF TEXAS, N.A. (Bank of Texas, N.A., together with any subsequent holder of this Note is called "Lender") at its offices at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 or such other location as Lender may hereafter designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America the sum of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, under that certain Credit Agreement of even date herewith among Borrowers and Lender (such agreement as the same may be amended from time to time is herein called the "Credit Agreement"), together with interest on the principal from time to time outstanding from the date of advancement until maturity at the lower of (a) a variable rate per annum (the "Applicable Rate") at all times equal to the Prime Rate minus one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%), with adjustments in the Applicable Rate to be made on the same date as any change in the Prime Rate or (b) the Maximum Rate. Adjustment due to changes in the Maximum Rate will be made on the effective date of any change in the Maximum Rate.
All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings respectively assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
If at any time during the term of this Note the Applicable Rate exceeds the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest to accrue on this Note shall be limited to the Maximum Rate, but if thereafter the Applicable Rate is less than the Maximum Rate, at the option of Lender, the rate of interest to accrue on this Note shall be the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on this Note equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Applicable Rate had at all times been in effect.
The principal of this Note is due and payable on April 13, 2008. Accrued interest hereunder is due and payable in quarterly installments on the 13th of day of each May, August, November and February until April 13, 2008, on which date the unpaid principal and all accrued unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full.
The unpaid principal balance hereof shall at no time exceed the amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The unpaid principal balance of this Note at any time shall be the total amounts loaned or advanced hereunder by the Lender, less the amount of payments or prepayments of principal made hereon by or for the account of Borrowers. It is contemplated that by reason of prepayments hereon there may be times when no indebtedness is owing hereunder; but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Note shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to Loans or advances made pursuant to and under the terms of this Note and the Credit Agreement subsequent to each such occurrence. In the event that the unpaid principal amount hereof at any time, for any reason, exceeds the maximum amount hereinabove specified, Borrowers covenant and agree to pay the excess principal amount forthwith upon demand; such excess principal amount shall in all respects be deemed to be included among the loans or advances made pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other terms of this Note and shall bear interest at the rates hereinabove stated.
Borrowers hereby authorize Lender to record in Lender's internal records the amount of all Loans made to Borrowers by Lender and all payments of principal in respect of such Loans, which recordings shall, in absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding amount of all Loans; provided, however, that the failure to make such recordings with respect to such Loans, advances, payments or other appropriate debits or credit shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or this Note.
For so long as any Event of Default exists under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and at all times after the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and in addition to all other rights and remedies of Lender hereunder, interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance hereof at the Default Interest Rate, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. Borrowers acknowledge that it would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine Lender's actual damages resulting from any late payment or Event of Default, and such accrued interest is reasonable estimate of those damages and do not constitute a penalty.
If this Note is not paid at maturity whether by acceleration or otherwise and is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is filed hereon, or proceedings are had in probate, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, arrangement or other legal proceedings for collection hereof, Borrowers and each other liable party agree to pay Lender its collection costs, including a reasonable amount for attorney's fees, but in no event to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law. Borrowers and each other liable party are and shall be directly and primarily, jointly and severally, liable for the payment of all sums called for hereunder, and Borrowers and each other liable party, hereby expressly waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, diligence in collecting and the bringing of any suit against any party, and Borrowers and each other liable party hereby consent to and agree to remain liable hereon regardless of any renewals, extensions for any period or rearrangements hereof, or partial prepayments hereon, or any release or substitution of security here for, in whole or in part, with or without notice, from time to time, before or after maturity.
It is the intent of Lender and Borrowers in the execution of this Note and all other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate. Neither Borrowers nor any co-Borrowers, endorsers, sureties, guarantors or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of this Note shall ever be required to pay interest or finance charges at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, and this Note is expressly made subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement which more fully set out the limitation on how interest accrues hereon. By execution of this Note, Borrowers acknowledge that they believe the loans evidenced hereby to be non-usurious. The term "applicable law" as used in this Note shall mean the laws of the State of Texas or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES APPLICABLE TO TRANSACTIONS WITHIN SUCH STATE. BORROWERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT THEMSELVES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND TO THE VENUE OF DALLAS COUNTY AND CONSENT AND AGREE THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON THEM IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS NOTE BY ANY MEANS ALLOWED UNDER TEXAS OR FEDERAL LAW.
In no event shall Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is applicable to this Note, the "weekly ceiling" specified in Chapter 303 is the applicable ceiling; provided that, if any applicable law permits greater interest, the law permitting the greatest interest shall apply.
This Note is issued pursuant to and is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement and evidences Loans made by Lender thereunder. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for certain provisions relating to the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the occurrence of certain events specified therein and for all other pertinent purposes.
This Note is extended in amendment and restatement, but not extinguishment, of that certain Promissory Note dated February 13, 2004, in the principal amount of $2,000,000.00, executed and delivered by Borrowers and payable to the order of Lender.
Payment of this Note is secured by the Collateral as described in the Credit Agreement.
