outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on
the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four
percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time
applicable to this Note.
BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:
(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to
time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly
repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of
the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any
document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under
this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount
stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at
any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the
holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon
by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from
time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of
this Note shall be due and payable in full on June 1, 2000.
(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of
the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the
oral or written request of (i) DANIEL E. LUEBBEN or ROBERT S.
COPE, any one acting alone, who are authorized to request
advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written
notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the
holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with
respect to advances deposited to the credit of any account of any
Borrower with the holder, which advances, when so deposited,
shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the
benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons
other than those authorized to request advances may have
authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no
obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance
is or has been authorized by any Borrower.
(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this
Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and
second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT:
This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms
and conditions of that certain Credit Agreement between Borrower
and Bank dated as of May 12, 1997, as amended from time to time
(the Credit Agreement). Any default in the payment or
performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined
event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an
Event of Default under this Note.
MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
the holder of this Note, at the holder's option, may declare all
sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice
of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of
dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by each Borrower, and
the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further
credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Each
Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full
amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees (to include outside counsel
fees and all allocated costs of the holder's in-house counsel),
expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the
enforcement of the holder's rights and/or the collection of any
amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the
prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this
Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory
relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an
arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the
foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding
(including without limitation, any adversary proceeding,
contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person)
relating to any Borrower or any other person or entity.
(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one
person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of
each such Borrower shall be joint and several.
(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
This Note replaces and supersedes in its entirety that
certain promissory note executed by Borrower in favor of Bank in
the original principal amount of $3,000,000.00 and dated as of
May 12, 1997, which is hereby cancelled.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note
