MULTIPLE ADVANCE PROMISSORY NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, jointly and severally, (each a "Maker") promise to pay upon demand to the order of First Community Financial Corporation, an Arizona Corporation ("FCFC"), at its office located in Phoenix, Arizona, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of**EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND and No/100** Dollars ($800,000.00). The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amount advanced hereunder by the holder hereof, less the amount of payments made hereon by or for the undersigned.
Interest shall be charged on the unpaid principal balance from the date hereof (and computed on the basis of a 12-month, 360 day year) at a rate (the "Note Rate") equal to the greater of9.00% per annum; or the sum of5.00% per annum plus the prime rate (whether or not it is the lowest rate actually charged by such bank) announced by Bank One Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona, from time to time. In the event such prime rate is from time to time hereafter changed, the above rate of interest shall correspondingly be adjusted as of the effective date of the prime rate change.
Interest shall be payable upon demand or, if no demand is made, monthly on the first day of each month, commencing with the first day of the month following the initial advance hereunder until all principal and interest hereunder have been fully paid, and shall be fully paid at the maturity. The first interest payment shall include all interest accrued to the date thereof. All obligations hereunder (including principal, interest, costs and fees) not discharged when due or upon demand for payment shall bear interest, until paid in full, at a per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum higher than the Note Rate.
At the option of the holder, the holder may demand payment of all obligations hereunder, all of which shall be deemed to have become immediately due and payable, without presentment for payment, diligence, grace, exhibition of this Note, protest, further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any sum owing hereunder is not paid as agreed; (ii) the undersigned defaults in the payment of any sum or in the event of a breach in any representation, warranty or covenant by the undersigned as set forth in the Accounts Receivable Security Agreement datedMay 27, 2004, executed by the undersigned and FCFC or any Rider attached thereto, as the same may be amended, modified or extended from time to time (the "Security Agreements"); (iii) the undersigned defaults in the payment of any sum or breaches any representation, warranty or covenant under any other financing agreement now or hereafter executed between the undersigned and FCFC; or (iv) the holder in good faith believes that there is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of its obligations or that there is a material impairment of the value or priority of FCFC's security interest.
No provision of this Note or any other aspect of the transaction of which this Note is a part is intended to or shall require or permit the holder, directly or indirectly, to take, receive, contract for or reserve, in money, goods or things in action, or in any other way, any interest (including amounts deemed by law to be interest, such amounts to then be deemed to be an addition to the rate of interest agreed upon) in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law in the State of Arizona as of the date hereof. If any such excess shall nevertheless be provided for, or be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be provided for, the undersigned shall not be obligated to pay such excess but, if paid, then such excess shall be applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Note or, to the extent that the principal balance has been paid in full by reason of such application or otherwise, such excess shall be remitted to the undersigned. In the event any amount determined to be excessive interest is applied against the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and thereafter the rate of interest accruing under this Note is less than the rate permitted by law, this Note shall thereafter accrue
interest at such highest lawful rate until such time as the amount accrued at the interest rate differential equals the amount of excessive interest previously applied against principal.
The undersigned hereby agrees: (a) to any and all extensions and renewals hereof, from time to time, without notice, and that no such extension or renewal shall constitute or be deemed a release of any obligation of any of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (b) that the acceptance by the holder hereof of any performance which does not comply strictly with the terms hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver or bar of any right of said holder, nor a release of any obligation of any of the undersigned to the holder hereof; (c) to offsets of any sums or property owed to them or any of them by the holder hereof any time; (d) to pay the holder hereof upon demand any and all costs, expenses and fees in enforcing payment hereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred before, after or irrespective of whether suit is commenced; and (e) that this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona.
The undersigned represents and warrants that the indebtedness represented by this Note is for commercial or business purposes.
This Note is and shall be secured by a security interest granted or to be granted by the undersigned to FCFC in certain assets of the undersigned as set forth in the Security Agreements or pursuant to any other financing agreement now or hereafter executed between the undersigned and FCFC.
