Paydown.
Upon
execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Lender a principal paydown of

Section

Upon
execution of this Agreement, Borrower shall deposit with Lender a principal and

45/100 Dollars ($228,375.45) to secure Borrower’s obligations under the Note.
The Reserve shall be held in a separate account maintained by Lender and shall

Default or Event of Default then exists, Lender shall release funds from the
Reserve when and as principal and interest payments are due under the Note.
Borrower shall use all funds released from the Reserve solely for the purpose of
paying debt service on the Loan as described herein. All monies at any time held
by or deposited with Lender under the Loan Documents, including but not limited
to the Reserve, shall be held as cash collateral, as additional security for the

grants Lender a first priority lien and security interest in such cash
collateral and shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time any and all
security agreements, financing statements or other instruments necessary to
create, perfect, continue or maintain Lender’s lien and security interest in
such cash collateral. Provided
that all payments under the Note, including without limitation, any required
payment on the Maturity Date and all other payments required by any other Loan

Agreement and the Warrant Certificate with a separate replacement warrant
agreement and warrant certificate for each of Lender and Citrus in the forms
attached hereto as Exhibit

under the Amended Warrant Documents, each of Lender and Citrus have the right to
exercise separate warrant rights effective as of the date of the Amended Warrant

Modification to the contrary. In the event Citrus exercises its warrant rights,
the Deferred Fee shall be reduced to $168,475, and shall continue to be payable
in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement, unless Lender also elects
to exercise the warrant rights held by Lender under the Amended Warrant
Documents. In the event Lender exercises its warrant rights, the Deferred Fee

Section 3.6 of the Loan Agreement, unless Citrus also elects to exercise the

SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED NOTE
U.S.
$3,359,469.54
Chicago,
Illinois
January
31, 2005
FOR VALUE
RECEIVED, FLORIDA GAMING CENTERS, INC., a Florida corporation (“FGCI”) and CITY
NATIONAL BANK OF FLORIDA, successor by merger to City National Bank of Miami, as
Trustee under Trust Agreement dated January 3, 1979, and known as Trust No.
5003471 (“Trust” and together with FGCI, the “Borrower”), promise to pay to the
order of FIRST BANK (“Lender”), at its place of business in Elk Grove Village,
Illinois or such other place as Lender may designate from time to time
hereafter, the principal amount of Three Million Three Hundred Fifty Nine
Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Nine and 54/100 Dollars ($3,359,469.54) or such
lesser principal amount as may be owed by Borrower to Lender hereunder, together
with interest on the unpaid balance until paid, at a rate (“Stated Rate”) equal
to the greater of (i) seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum or (ii) two
percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the Prime Rate (as hereinafter defined);
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as
hereinafter defined), interest shall accrue at a rate (the “Default Rate”) equal
to five percent (5%) per annum in excess of the Stated Rate for the period of
such default until such default is cured. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360 day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed. The
final payment of all then-outstanding principal and interest shall be due on
October 31, 2005 (the “Maturity Date”). Borrower’s obligations under this Note
shall be defined and referred to herein as “Borrower’s
Liabilities.”
All
payments received hereunder shall be first applied to interest due and the
balance, if any, to principal. Absent an Event of Default, principal and
interest shall be payable as follows:
Commencing
on the twentieth (20th) day of
February, 2005 and continuing on the twentieth (20th) day of
each month thereafter until the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make monthly
payments of principal and interest to Lender on the amount of the principal
balance outstanding hereunder, in an amount calculated by Lender as necessary to
repay the then outstanding principal balance at the Stated Rate (with interest
payable in arrears) amortized on a level term basis over a twenty-five (25) year
term commencing on the date hereof. If not sooner paid, the outstanding
principal amount of the loan evidenced hereby and all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon
The
Borrower may prepay all or any portion of this Note, at any time and from time
to time, subject to the following terms:
(a) Each
partial prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and in
integral multiples of $50,000;
8
(b) The
Borrower shall provide Lender with at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice of any prepayment;
(c) The
Borrower shall pay to the Lender all accrued and unpaid interest through the
date of such prepayment on the principal balance being prepaid; and
(d) The
Borrower shall pay to the Lender any other obligations of the Borrower to the
Lender then due which remain unpaid.
All
principal payments hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the
principal amount being repaid to the date of payment. All payments hereunder,
whether in respect of principal, interest, or otherwise, shall be made without
setoff, counterclaim or deduction in same day funds by Borrower to Lender. All
such payments required to be made to Lender shall be made not later than 2:00
p.m., Illinois time, on the date due by wire transfer (or by advice of transfer
from or between accounts of Borrower at Lender) to such account as Lender shall
specify from time to time by notice to Borrower. Funds received after that time
shall be deemed to have been received by Lender on the next following Business
Day. All payments shall be made in immediately available U.S. Dollars. Whenever
any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in computing interest, if any, in connection
with such payment.
For
purposes hereof, the term “Prime Rate” shall mean a fluctuating rate per annum
equal to the prime rate of interest as published in the “Money Rates” section of
the Wall Street Journal, or, if such rate is not so designated in the Wall
Street Journal, the rate designated by Lender from time to time as its “Prime
Rate.” The Prime Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate of Interest charged by
Lender in connection with extensions of credit. Changes in the Stated Rate shall
take effect simultaneously with each change in the Prime Rate. The applicable
Prime Rate shall be determined by Lender in its sole judgment, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Reference
is hereby made to that certain Loan Agreement executed between Borrower and
Lender dated as of October 31, 2001, as modified by a First Modification of Loan
Documents by and among Borrower, Lender, Florida Gaming Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“FGC”) and X. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, an individual (“Xxxxxxx”), dated as
of October 31, 2004 and a Second Modification of Loan Documents of even date
herewith by and among Borrower, Lender, FGC and Xxxxxxx (as the same may be
amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) for a statement of (a) the
terms and conditions under which the loan evidenced hereby has been made,
secured and is to be repaid and (b) Lender’s remedies upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default. An Event of Default under the Loan Agreement shall constitute
an Event of Default hereunder. The terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement
are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Any capitalized terms
used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Loan Agreement.
9
In
addition to interest at the Default Rate, as set forth above, Borrower agrees to
pay “late charges” of five percent (5%) of the amount of any payment due
hereunder including, without limitation, any payment of principal not paid when
due on the Maturity Date which is ten (10) days or more in arrears.
Borrower
warrants and represents to Lender that Borrower shall use the proceeds
represented by this Note solely for proper business purposes, and consistently
with all applicable laws and statutes and the provisions of the Loan Agreement
and Loan Documents.
All of
Lender’s rights and remedies under this Note are cumulative and non-exclusive.
The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment made hereunder after the time
when any of Borrower’s Liabilities become due and payable will not establish a
custom, or waive any rights of Lender to enforce prompt payment thereof.
Lender’s failure to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of
this Note shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to
demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any waiver of an Event of
Default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default
hereunder. Borrower and every endorser waive presentment, demand and protest and
notice of presentment, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release,
compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of this Note, and hereby ratify and
confirm whatever Lender may do in this regard. Borrower further waives any and
all notice or demand to which Borrower might be entitled with respect to this
Note by virtue of any applicable statute or law (to the extent permitted by
law).
Borrower
agrees to pay, upon Lender’s demand therefor, any and all costs, fees and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred in
enforcing any of Lender’s rights hereunder, and to the extent not paid the same
shall become part of Borrower’s Liabilities hereunder.
If any
provision of this Note or the application thereof to any party or circumstance
is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Note and the application
thereof to other parties or circumstances will not be affected thereby, the
provisions of this Note being severable in any such instance.
If this
Note is signed by more than one party, the liability of each such party shall be
joint and several, and each reference herein to “Borrower” shall be deemed to
refer to each such party.
This Note
is submitted by Borrower to Lender at Lender’s principal place of business and
shall be deemed to have been made thereat. This Note shall be governed and
controlled by the laws of the State of Illinois as to interpretation,
enforcement, validity, construction and effect, but without reference to its
choice of law provisions. Any notice required hereunder shall be served
consistent with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement relating to
notice.
10
No
modification, waiver, estoppel, amendment, discharge or change of this Note or
any related instrument shall be valid unless the same is in writing and signed
by the party against which the enforcement of such modification, waiver,
estoppel, amendment, discharge or change is sought.
BORROWER
IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS IN ANY WAY OR RESPECT,
ARISING OUT OF OR FROM OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE MAY BE LITIGATED IN COURTS HAVING
SITUS WITHIN THE COUNTY OF XXXX, STATE OF ILLINOIS. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO
THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE, OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN SAID COUNTY
AND STATE AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM
NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY PROCEEDING HEREUNDER.
BORROWER
AND LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING: (I) TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
NOTE OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY
IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR (II) ARISING FROM ANY
DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE OR ANY SUCH
AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
This Note
is a restatement of the indebtedness evidenced by, and is a replacement of, that
certain First Amended and Restated Note of the undersigned dated as of October
31, 2004 in the face principal amount of $4,600,000.00 payable to the order of
the CIB Bank, as predecessor in interest to Lender (“Prior Note”), and nothing
contained herein shall be construed (i) to deem paid or forgiven the unpaid
principal amount of, or unpaid accrued interest on the Prior Note outstanding at
the time of its replacement by this Note; or (ii) to release, cancel, terminate
or otherwise adversely affect all or any part of any security interest or other
encumbrance heretofore granted to or for the benefit of the payee of the Prior
Note.
This Note
is executed and delivered by City National Bank of Florida, not personally, but
as Trustee as aforesaid in the exercise of the power and authority conferred
upon and vested in it as such Trustee, provided that City National Bank of
Florida hereby personally warrants that it possesses full power and authority to
execute and deliver the same. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing
contained in this Note shall be construed as creating any liability on City
National Bank of Florida personally to pay the indebtedness evidenced and
secured by this Note and the other Loan Documents or any interest that may
accrue thereon, or to perform any covenant, express or implied, contained
therein, all such personal liability, if any, being expressly waived by Lender
