SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$2,000,000 Los Angeles, California August 1, 1996
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the "Borrower") promises to pay to the
order of GREYROCK BUSINESS CREDIT, A DIVISION OF NATIONSCREDIT COMMERCIAL
CORPORATION ("GBC"), at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xx Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other address as the holder of this Note shall
direct, the principal sum of TWO MILLION Dollars ($2,000,000), payable in 36
installments of $55,556.00 principal per month (except that the last such
installment shall be in the amount of $55,540.00), plus interest as hereinafter
provided, commencing on August 31, 1997 and continuing on the last day of each
succeeding month, until the earlier of the following dates (the "Maturity
Date"): (i) August 31, 2000, or (ii) the date the Loan and Security Agreement
between the Borrower and GBC dated November 17, 1995, as amended (as amended,
the "Loan Agreement") terminates by its terms or is terminated by either party
in accordance with its terms. On the Maturity Date the entire remaining unpaid
principal balance of this Note, plus any and all accrued and unpaid interest,
shall be due and payable.
This Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof from
time to time outstanding at a rate equal to the following: The interest rate in
effect throughout each calendar month during the term of this Note shall be the
highest "LIBOR Rate" in effect during such month, plus 5.25% per annum, provided
that the interest rate in effect in each month shall not be less than 8% per
annum. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the
actual number of days elapsed. "LIBOR Rate" has the meaning set forth in the
Loan Agreement.
Accrued interest on this Note shall be payable monthly, in addition to any
principal payments provided above, commencing on August 31, 1996, and continuing
on the last day of each succeeding month. Any accrued interest not paid when
due shall bear interest at the same rate as the principal hereunder.
Principal of and interest on this Note shall be payable in lawful money of
the United States of America. If a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on
a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding business day, and interest shall be payable thereon during
such extension.
In the event any payment of principal or interest on this Note is not paid
in full when due, or if any other default or event of default occurs hereunder,
under the Loan Agreement or under any other present or future instrument,
document, or agreement between the Borrower and GBC (collectively, "Events of
Default"), GBC may, at its option, at any time thereafter, declare the entire
unpaid principal balance of this Note plus all accrued interest to be
immediately due and payable, without notice or demand. Without limiting the
foregoing, and without limiting GBC's other rights and remedies, in the event
any installment of principal or interest is not paid in full on the date due
(whether
A-1.
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay
interest on such unpaid principal or interest, from the later of (i) the date
such amount becomes due and (ii) the Notice Date (as defined below), until the
date such amount is paid in full, payable from time to time on demand, at a rate
per annum equal at all times to the interest rate set forth above, PLUS an
additional four percent per annum. GBC shall send written notice to the
Borrower that overdue interest shall accrue hereunder (the date of such notice
the "Notice Date"). The acceptance of any installment of principal or interest
by GBC after the time when it becomes due, as herein specified, shall not be
held to establish a custom, or to waive any rights of GBC to enforce payment
when due of any further installments or any other rights, nor shall any failure
or delay to exercise any rights be held to waive the same.
All payments hereunder are to be applied first to costs and fees referred
to hereunder, second to the payment of accrued interest and the remaining
balance to the payment of principal. Any principal prepayment hereunder shall
be applied against principal payments in the inverse order of maturity. GBC
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply
any and all payments hereunder. Principal and interest becoming due hereunder
may, in GBC's discretion, be charged to Borrower's loan account under the Loan
Agreement, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as the
other Loans under the Loan Agreement.
The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by GBC in connection
with or related to this Note, or its enforcement, whether or not suit be
brought. The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of
dishonor, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, and any and all
other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Note, and the Borrower hereby
waives the benefits of any statute of limitations with respect to any action to
enforce, or otherwise related to, this Note.
This Note is secured by the Loan Agreement and all other present and future
security agreements between the Borrower and GBC and shall continue to be so
secured until the indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due and owing in
connection herewith and therewith (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
any other agreement between the Borrower and GBC). Nothing herein shall be
deemed to limit any of the terms or provisions of the Loan Agreement or any
other present or future document, instrument or agreement, between the Borrower
and GBC, and all of GBC's rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder are
cumulative.
In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any
reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the same shall not
affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this
Note shall remain in full force and effect.
No waiver or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Note
shall be valid or binding unless set forth in a writing signed by a duly
authorized officer of GBC, and then only to the extent therein specifically set
forth. If more than one person executes this Note, their obligations hereunder
shall be joint and several.
GBC AND BORROWER EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (i) THIS NOTE;
(ii) ANY OTHER PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR
A-2.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN GBC AND BORROWER; OR (iii) ANY CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF
GBC OR BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH GBC OR BORROWER; IN EACH OF THE
FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.
This Note is payable in, and shall be governed by the laws of, the State of
California.
