This Note is one of a series of Notes (“Notes”) of the undersigned in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed Five million dollars ($5,000,000), and is subject to a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company (“Resolution”). Reference is hereby made to the Resolution attached to this certificate for a description of the further provisions of this Note which further provisions shall for all purposes have the effect as if set forth in this place.
The Note is issuable only as a registered Note without coupons in denominations of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) or any multiple thereof. The holder of this Note may elect either: (i) to have interest on the principal amount compound on each anniversary of the Issue Date until paid in full on the Maturity Date; (ii) to receive one-half (1/2) of the Interest Payment in cash semi-annually; (iii) to receive one-fourth (1/4) of the Interest Payment in cash quarterly; or (iv) to receive the Interest Payment in cash annually on the anniversary of the Issue Date; or (iii) in return for one-half of one percent (.5%) reduction in the Interest Rate, to receive one-twelfth (1/12) of the Interest Payment in cash monthly. Interest payable for any payment period or portion of a payment period will be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 365-day year.
Annual Interest Payments will be made no later than the anniversary of the Issue Date. Each monthly, quarterly or semi-annual Interest Payment installment or portion thereof, will be made no later than the last day of each month, quarter, or six-month period, as the case may be. If interest payments on the Note are annually compounded, the Registered Holder may direct, on one occasion only, by providing not less than 30 days advance notice to the Company, that the Company pay all earned but unpaid interest on the Note prior to maturity of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may elect in its sole and absolute discretion to make any interest payment prior to the date it becomes due without penalty or premium of any kind. Payment of the principal amount and any earned but unpaid interest will be made no later than the Maturity Date.
At the election of the Company, such payments may be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holder of this Note at the address appearing upon the Note register maintained by the Company at the close of business ten (10) days prior to such payment date. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office of the Company in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. In the event that any date on which principal of or interest on this Note is payable is a Saturday or Sunday or day that is a legal holiday in the city of Kansas City, Missouri or the state of Missouri (a "Legal Holiday"), then such payment will be made on the next succeeding day which is not a Legal Holiday, without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay, with the same effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable.
All or any portion of this Note is subject to redemption at any time, upon 30-day advance notice, at the election of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so called for redemption, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, payable on the surrender of the Note for redemption. Notes, or portions thereof, for which redemption and payment provision is made will cease to bear interest from and after the date fixed for redemption. If this Note is redeemed in part only, a new Note for the portion not redeemed will be issued in the name of the holder on the cancellation of this Note.
After 36 months from the purchase date of the Note, the Registered Holder may redeem this Note prior to maturity upon 60 days written notice to the Company. The date of redemption becomes the new maturity date of the Note. If the new maturity date results in a lower interest rate than the Company had been paying the holder based on the Company’s current interest rate schedule and the Note’s corresponding new maturity date, then the Company will withhold the amount of overpaid interest from the redemption payment. A penalty equal to six months interest will also be assessed for early redemption.
Each holder of this Note agrees that the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of any and all indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter incurred.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Resolution, occurs and is continuing, the principal of and accrued interest on the Note may be declared due and payable
This Note is non-negotiable and may not be transferred without the prior written consent of the Company.
This Note, including the validity hereof, will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the state of Missouri.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.
