SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
Alpharetta, Georgia
Date: July 29, 2010
$1,500,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the Borrower) promises to pay on demand to the order of
Presidential Financial Corporation (the Lender) at the Lenders main office in Alpharetta,
Georgia, or at such other place as Lender may designate, the principal amount of ONE MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) or so much thereof as may from time to time be
unpaid and outstanding, together with interest per annum thereon at the rate of the greater of one
point nine-five percent (1.95%) above Wall Street Journal Prime, with Wall Street Journal Prime
being the prime rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, or at the
rate of three point two-five percent (3.25%) (whichever rate is applicable from time to time shall
be referred to herein as the Interest Rate). If Wall Street Journal Prime becomes unavailable
during the term of this Note, Lender may designate a substitute index. The initial interest rate
hereunder shall be five point two-zero percent (5.20%). The interest rate hereunder shall adjust on
the published effective date of any change in Wall Street Journal Prime (or any substitute index).
All payments received will first be applied to interest and other charges due and owing to the
Lender, and any remaining amount shall then be applied to principal.
This Secured Promissory Note (this Note) is the Secured Promissory Note referred to in, is
secured by the collateral in which Borrower granted a security interest under, and is entitled to
the benefits of, the Loan and Security Agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender
contemporaneously herewith (the Loan Agreement). Lender, from time to time, shall make advances
and re-advances as may be requested by Borrower and accept payments in accordance with and subject
to the provisions of this Note and the Loan Agreement. The amount outstanding under this Note may
vary from time to time by increases of up to the maximum principal amount stated above plus accrued
interest, other charges and expenses, and decreases down to no outstanding principal or accrued
interest, other charges and expenses.
The interest rate on the principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note is as stated above.
All other fees and charges (including without limitation the Service Charge defined below) paid
in connection with this Note by Borrower to the Lender are payments for the services of
originating, booking, servicing and maintaining the loan and other administrative services
(including, but not limited to, periodic audits) as set forth in O.C.G.A. Section 7-4-2(A) (1) and
do not constitute fees for the use of money. Interest herein shall accrue daily and is due and
payable on the last day of each month.
In addition to interest, Borrower will pay Lender a monthly service charge (Service Charge),
which shall be earned by and due and payable to Lender as set forth on Schedule B of the Loan
Agreement. Any Service Charge for which Borrower is obligated shall be added to Borrowers loan
account immediately before any payment in full of all of Borrowers obligations under this Note.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, AND BORROWER INSTRUCTS LENDER THAT, IMMEDIATELY UPON ACCRUAL OF
INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN AND IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE SERVICE CHARGES), SUCH INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES SHALL BE PAID BY ADVANCES
HEREUNDER AND CHARGED TO BORROWERS LOAN ACCOUNT WITH LENDER. SUCH ADVANCES SHALL THEREAFTER BEAR
INTEREST AND BE SUBJECT TO OTHER CHARGES UPON THE SAME TERMS AS OTHER ADVANCES HEREUNDER, AND SUCH
ADVANCES ARE AGREED BY THE PARTIES TO BE PRINCIPAL PURSUANT TO O.C.G.A. SECTION 7-4-2(A)(3).
BORROWER SPECIFICALLY AGREES, BY EXECUTION OF THIS NOTE, TO THIS TREATMENT OF ALL ACCRUED BUT
UNPAID INTEREST AND OTHER CHARGES UNDER THIS NOTE AND THE LOAN AGREEMENT.
All computations of interest shall be calculated on a daily basis upon the unpaid balance with
each day representing 1/360th of a year. Each advance under this Note shall be added to the
outstanding balance under this Note and shall accrue interest commencing on the effective date of
the transfer of the advance proceeds originated by Lender or the date of issue of the check or
other payment instrument by Lender disbursing the advance proceeds, regardless of the date Borrower
actually obtains access to the funds. Upon and after Lenders sending notice to Borrower that
Borrower is in default under this Note or the Loan Agreement, in lieu of the above-described
Interest Rate, the Borrower agrees to pay interest at a Default Interest Rate equal to the Wall
Street Journal Prime plus 4%, and interest under this Note shall thereafter be calculated using the
Default Interest Rate.
It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable laws.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would violate applicable law governing the
Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for or guaranteeing this Note, the following will apply: the aggregate of all payments
which constitute interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or
received by Lender under this Note or the Loan Agreement or under any other agreement entered into
in connection with or as security for or guaranteeing this Note shall under no circumstances be in
an amount or at a rate that would otherwise cause a violation of law or exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate (as defined below), and any excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid,
shall, at the option of Lender, be credited by Lender on the principal amount of any indebtedness
owed to Lender by Borrower or refunded by Lender to Borrower.
Highest Lawful Rate means the maximum interest rate that at any time or from time to time
may be lawfully contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received on amounts due to Lender,
under laws applicable to Borrower or Lender with regard to this Note that are presently in effect
or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws that then allow a higher maximum
lawful rate than applicable laws now allow.
Any act of default by Borrower under the Loan Agreement and any default by Borrower under its
obligations under the Loan Agreement shall constitute a default under this Note. Time is of the
essence of this Note.
Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment, notice, protest and notice of dishonor and
diligence in collection or bringing suit and agrees that Lender may accept partial payment, or
release or exchange security or collateral, without discharging or releasing any unreleased
collateral or the obligations evidenced hereby. Borrower further waives any and all rights of
exemption, both as to personal and real property, under the constitution or laws of the United
States, the State of Georgia, or any other state or jurisdiction. Lender shall not be deemed to
waive or have waived any of its rights hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by
Lender, and no failure, delay or omission by Lender in exercising any of its rights shall operate
as a waiver of such rights. A waiver by Lender in writing on one occasion shall not be construed
as a consent to or a waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
Borrower agrees to pay reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred by Lender in collecting
or attempting to collect this Note, whether by suit or otherwise. Attorneys fees relating to
collection for which Borrower shall be responsible to reimburse Lender shall be equal to the lesser
of: (a) actual fees and expenses or (b) fifteen percent (15%) of the principal and interest owed
hereunder at the time of commencement of collection activities or the maximum amount permitted by
law then in effect.
The word Borrower as used herein shall include the plural, should more than one execute this
Note; the masculine and feminine gender, regardless of the sex of Borrower or any of them;
partnerships, corporations, and other legal entities, should such an entity execute this Note; and
the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Borrower. The undersigned, if more
than one, shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and all provisions hereof shall apply to
each of them. The word Lender as used herein shall when the circumstances or context requires,
include the plural and the successors and assigns of Lender.
The loan evidenced hereby has been made and this Note has been made and delivered in the State
of Georgia. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF
GEORGIA AS TO INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT AND IN ALL OTHER
RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE LEGALITY OF THE INTEREST RATE AND OTHER CHARGES, and
shall be binding upon Borrower (and each one of them, if more than one) and Borrowers heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns (and each one of them, if more than one). If this Note
contains any blanks when executed by Borrower, Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to
Borrower, to complete any such blanks according to the terms upon which the loan or loans were
granted.
To induce Lender to make the loan evidenced by this Note, the Borrower (i) irrevocably agrees
that all actions by Borrower arising directly or indirectly as a result or in consequence of this
Note or any other agreement with Lender, or the Collateral, shall be instituted and litigated only
in courts having situs in the County of Fulton, State of Georgia; (ii) hereby consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located and having its situs in said
county; and (iii) waives any objection based upon forum non-conveniens. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing contained in this paragraph shall prevent Lender from bringing any action or
exercising any rights against Borrower, any guarantor (excluding Validity Guarantors, which Lender
shall have no recourse to individual assets), any security for the Note, or any of Borrowers or
any guarantors properties in any other county, state or jurisdiction. Initiating such action or
proceeding or taking any such action in any other state or jurisdiction shall in no event
constitute a waiver by Lender of any of the foregoing. IN ADDITION, LENDER AND THE BORROWER (OR
ANY ONE OF THEM, IF MORE THAN ONE) HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH
PERTAINS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS NOTE, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, ANY ALLEGED TORTIOUS
CONDUCT BY THE BORROWER OR LENDER WHICH MAY IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISE OUT OF OR
RELATES TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND LENDER.
