EXHIBIT 10.77
SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE
----------------------------
U.S. $ 1,000,000.00 Mountain View, California
March 19, 1999
For Value Received, the undersigned INTELLISYS GROUP, INC. (the
"Borrower") promises to pay in the order of P. XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX AND XXX XXXX
XXXXXXXX (collectively the "Lender") at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, or at such other places as may be designated by Lender (the
"Note"), the principal amount of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00).
The undersigned promises to pay interest on the principal amount
hereof remaining unpaid from time to time at the Applicable Rate.
APPLICABLE RATE:
---------------
"Applicable Rate" shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating rate of
interest equal to the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by
First Union National Bank ("Bank"), or its successor, in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania as its "Prime Rate." Borrower acknowledges that Bank lends at rates
both above and below its Prime Rate, and Borrower further acknowledges that
Bank's Prime Rate is not represented or intended to be the lowest or most
favorable rate of interest offered by Bank.
DEFAULT RATE:
------------
In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default
(defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding
Obligations shall bear interest at the Applicable rate plus 3% ("Default
Rate"). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the
Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.
INTEREST AND FEE(S) COMPUTATION (ACTUAL/360):
--------------------------------------------
Interest and fees, if any, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year for the actual number of days in the applicable period ("Actual/360
Computation"). The Actual/360 Computation determines the annual effective yield
by taking the stated (nominal) rate for a year's period and then dividing said
rate by 360 to determine the daily periodic rate to be applied for each day in
the applicable period. Application of the Actual/360 Computation produces an
annualized effective rate exceeding that of the nominal rate.
USURY:
-----
If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but
for this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate
under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and any amount received by
Bank in excess of such rate shall be
applied to principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are
owing, returned to Borrower.
FORM OF PAYMENT:
---------------
Any and all payments of any nature made or required to be made under
this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States collectable on the
date of payment as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement.
SUBORDINATION:
-------------
(a) The Lender agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided
herein and in the Sanwa Business Credit Corporation Subordination Agreement, to
the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and that the subordination is for
the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.
(b) For the purposes of this Note, the following definitions shall
apply:
(1) "Debt" of any person means any indebtedness, contingent or
----
otherwise, in respect of borrowed money (whether or not the recourse
of the lender is to the whole of the assets of such person or only to
a portion thereof), or evidenced by bonds, notes, debentures or
similar instruments or letters of credit, or representing the balance
deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property or interest
therein, except any such balance that constitutes a trade payable, if
and to the extent such indebtedness would appear as a liability upon a
balance sheet of such person prepared on a consolidated basis in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
(2) "Senior Debt" means all Debt (present or future) created,
-----------
incurred, assumed or guaranteed by Borrower (and all renewals,
extensions or refundings thereof) with Sanwa Business Credit
Corporation or any successor or replacement lender, unless the
instrument under which such Debt is created, incurred, assumed or
guaranteed expressly provides that such Debt is not senior or superior
in right of payment to the Lender.
(c) Upon any distribution to creditors of Borrower in a liquidation
or dissolution of Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to Borrower or its property, holders
of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the
principal of and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of
any such proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Debt before Lender
shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on the
Note.
(d) Upon the final maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time,
acceleration or otherwise, all such Senior Debt shall first be paid in full, or
such payment duty provided for in cash or in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Debt, before any payment is made by Borrower or any
person acting on behalf of Borrower on account of the principal or interest of
2
the Note.
(e) Borrower may not pay principal of or interest on the Note if:
(1) a default on Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that
permits holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and
(2) the default is. the subject of judicial proceedings or
Xxxxxxxx receives a notice of the default from a person who holds
Senior Debt. If Borrower receives any such notice, a subsequent notice
received within nine months thereafter relating to the same issue of
Senior Debt shall not be effective for purposes of this provision.
(f) Borrower shall resume payments on the Note and may acquire the
Note when:
(1) the default is cured or waived, or
(2) 120 days pass after the notice is given if the default is
not the subject of judicial proceedings,
if this Note otherwise permits the payment or acquisition at that time.
(g) If payment of the Note is accelerated because of an Event of
Default, Borrower shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the
acceleration. Borrower shall pay the Note when 120 days pass after the
acceleration occurs if the Note permits the payment at that time; provided,
however, that if no Senior Debt is outstanding at the time of such acceleration
Borrower shall pay the Note in accordance with the provisions of this Note.
(h) If a payment is made to the Lender that because of this
subordination provision should not have been made to them, the Leader shall hold
such payment in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as
their interests may appear, provided, however, that if neither Borrower nor the
holders of the Senior Debt notify the Lender within 120 days after the payment
is made that such payment should not have been made, the Lender shall no longer
be deemed to be holding such payment in trust pursuant to this subsection (h).
(i) This subordination provision defines the relative rights of
Xxxxxx and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this provision shall:
(1) impair, as between Borrower and Lender, the obligation of
Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and
interest on the Note in accordance with its terms;
(2) affect the relative rights of Xxxxxx and creditors of
Borrower other than holders of Senior Debt; or
(3) prevent Lender from exercising their available remedies upon
a
3
Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of
Senior Debt to receive payments otherwise payable to Lender.
(j) If Borrower fails because of this subordination provision to pay
principal of or interest on the Note on the due date, the failure is still a
Default or Event of Default.
(k) No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the
subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be impaired by any
act or failure to act by Borrower or by its failure to comply with this
subordination provision.
