     5. Default And Acceleration. It is hereby expressly agreed that should any default be made in the payment as stipulated above of either principal, interest or other charges, and should such default remain uncured for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof, or should any default occur under the Security Instrument (as hereinafter defined) or in any other document evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the loan evidenced by this Note (a “Default”), the principal of this obligation or any unpaid part thereof and all unpaid interest accrued thereon, together with all other sums then owing to Holder hereunder or under the Security Instrument, shall, at the option of the Holder, at once become due and payable without notice or demand and may be collected forthwith, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of this Note from the date of any Default hereunder (as long as such Default continues), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein, or after maturity, at the rate equal to twelve (12%) percent per annum. All such interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to the curing of any Default should Holder, in its sole discretion, allow such Default to be cured. Time is of the essence of this Note. In the event this Note, or any part thereof, is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Maker agrees to pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, actual attorney’s fees calculated on an hourly basis.
     6. Waivers.
          (a) Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and non-payment and all other notices are hereby waived by the Maker. Failure to accelerate the debt evidenced hereby by reason of Default shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, a novation of this Note or a waiver of the right of the Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note without previous notice of such intention being given to the Maker. This Note may not be changed orally or by any course of conduct or departure from the terms hereof, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.
          (b) The Maker hereby waives and renounces for itself, its heirs, successors and assigns, all rights to the benefits of any appraisement, exemption or homestead now provided, or which may hereafter be provided by the Constitution or laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof to and in all its property, real and personal, against the enforcement and collection of the obligations evidenced by this Note.
          (c) The Maker hereby transfers, conveys and assigns to the Holder a sufficient amount of such homestead or exemption as may be set apart in bankruptcy, to pay this Note in full, with all costs of collection, and does hereby direct any trustee in bankruptcy having possession of such homestead or exemption to deliver to the Holder a sufficient amount of property or money set apart as exempt to pay the indebtedness evidenced hereby, or any renewal thereof, and does hereby irrevocably appoint the Holder the attorney-in-fact for the Maker to claim any and all homestead exemptions allowed by law.

     8. Governing Law. This Note is made and intended to constitute a contract under, and shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia; provided, however, that if Georgia conflict or choice of law rules would choose the law of another State, the Maker hereby waives such rules and agrees that Georgia substantive, procedural and constitutional law shall nonetheless govern.
     9. Jurisdiction; Venue. Maker hereby (i) submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of Georgia for the enforcement of this Note, and (ii) waives any and all personal rights under the law of any state to object to jurisdiction within the State of Georgia for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Note, whether on grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent Holder from bringing any action or exercising any rights against any security and against Maker personally, and against any property of Maker, within any other state. Initiating such proceeding or taking such action in any other state shall in no event constitute a waiver of the agreement contained herein that the law of the State of Georgia shall govern the rights and obligations of Maker and Holder hereunder or of the submission herein made by Maker to personal jurisdiction within the State of Georgia. The aforesaid means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process are not intended to be exclusive but are cumulative and in addition to all other means of obtaining personal jurisdiction and perfecting service of process now or hereafter provided by the law of the State of Georgia or any other state.
     10. Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Interest Purchase and Transfer Agreement made between Maker and Payee on even date herewith.

     12. Limit Of Validity. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Note or any Loan Document that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this Note and the other Loan Documents.
     13. Judicial Interpretation. Should any provision of this Note require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the court interpreting or construing the same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against one party by reason of

the rule of construction that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared same, it being agreed that all parties or their agents have participated in the preparation hereof.
     14. Section Headings. Section and other headings contained in this Note are for reference purposes only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope, extent or intent of this Note or any provisions hereof.

Assignor has on even date herewith, executed a Promissory Note of even date herewith in the original principal amount of $2,850,000.00 (the “Note”). In order to secure payment of the Note, Assignor has agreed to pledge 5,818,232 Common Shares, including all rights of Assignor to receive cash and other distributions of assets from the LLC with respect to such 5,818,232 Common Shares as set forth in or provided for in the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Horizon Software International, LLC dated on even date herewith (the “Operating Agreement”), and all rights and interests of Assignor with respect to such 5,818,232 Common Shares in and to the assets of the LLC (hereinafter called the “Interest”).
Statement of Agreement
     IN CONSIDERATION of the making of a loan in the amount of $2,850,000 (the “Loan”) by Lender to Assignor, evidenced by the Note, which will benefit the Assignor both directly and indirectly, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor does hereby sell, assign, transfer, convey, and grant unto Lender, its successors, and assigns the Interest, as security for the Note (the “Guaranty”; together with the Note, and any and all documents, instruments or agreements executed and delivered in connection with the Loan, each individually also referred to as a “Loan Document” and collectively as the “Loan Documents”),
     TO HAVE AND TO HOLD UNTO Lender, its successors, and assigns, forever, upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:
     1. Power of Attorney. Assignor hereby constitutes and appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, with full power and authority in its name and stead with respect to the Interest only and only after an “Event of Default” (as defined hereafter): (a) to collect any and all cash and other distributions of assets from the LLC; and (b) to use such measures, legal or equitable, as in Lender’s discretion may be deemed necessary or appropriate to enforce the payment or distribution thereof to Lender; and (c) to use and apply said cash and other distributions to the payment of the Loan and to the payment of attorneys’ fees, court costs, labor charges, and expenses incurred in connection with any and all things which Lender may do or cause to be done by virtue hereof, or to pay such other indebtedness with respect to the LLC or the Loan Documents as Lender deems appropriate in its sole discretion including, without limitation, payments on debts presently encumbering the Interests or to any of the foregoing. The power of attorney hereby created is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Assignor

 


 

hereby (i) gives Lender, as his attorney-in-fact, full power and authority to do and perform each and every act or thing necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, as fully as Assignor might or could do if Assignor were personally present, and (ii) ratifies and confirms all that Lender, as Assignor’s attorney-in-fact, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the hereinabove described power of attorney.
     2. Disclaimer of Responsibility. Lender shall not in any way be responsible for failure to do any or all of the things for which rights, interests, powers, and authorities are herein granted. Lender shall be responsible only for the application of such cash or other property as it actually receives under the terms hereof.
     3. No Liability. Prior to any election by Lender to become a substituted member of the LLC with respect to the Interest, as hereinbelow provided, this Assignment shall not operate to place any responsibility or obligation whatsoever upon Lender and thereafter only if and to the extent assumed in writing by Lender. Lender shall not have assumed any liability, unless specifically provided herein, as a result of this Assignment. Lender does not assume any obligation of Assignor under the Operating Agreement by this Assignment. Assignor agrees to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) now or hereafter arising by reason of this Assignment or the Operating Agreement and any claim and demand whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligation or undertaking to be performed or discharged by Lender under this Assignment or the Operating Agreement. In the event Lender incurs any liability, loss, or damage by reason of this Assignment, in curing any default or breach by Assignor of its obligations under the Operating Agreement, or in the defense of any claims or demands arising out of or in connection with this Assignment, the amount of such liability, loss, or damage shall be added to the Loan secured hereby.
     4. Further Assurance. Assignor agrees to execute upon the request of Lender any and all instruments requested by Lender to evidence, perfect, or otherwise carry the purposes of this Assignment into effect or to accomplish any other purpose deemed by Lender to be necessary or appropriate in connection with this Assignment. Assignor shall pay all recording costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection with any such instruments.
     5. Warranties and Representations. Assignor hereby warrants and represents that the Interest is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances; that neither the Interest nor any portion thereof have been heretofore sold, assigned, transferred, or set over by any instrument now in force (except as hereinafter provided) nor will they at any time during the term of this Assignment be sold, assigned, transferred, or set over by Assignor or by any person or persons whomsoever, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole and unfettered discretion; that there is no other claim whatsoever to the interests of Assignor in the LLC, other than ones granted herein; that Assignor has good right to sell, assign, transfer, and set over the LLC Interest and to grant to and confer upon Lender the rights, interests, powers, and authorities herein granted and conferred; and that Lender has all rights and privileges of Assignor with respect to the Interest under the LLC, subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof.

          (g) should the LLC default on any debt owed to a bank and such default not be cured after giving effect to all notice and cure periods allowed thereunder.
     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect or impair any rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents or under any other instrument now or hereafter evidencing, guarantying the payment of, securing, or otherwise relating to the Loan.
     8. Lender as Substituted Member. If an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, Lender shall have the right, but no obligation, to elect to become a substituted member with respect to the Interest only and within the provisions of the Operating Agreement, upon the giving of notice of such election to the Manager of the LLC, and Lender shall be substituted for Assignor, with respect to the Interest only, as a member of the LLC as of the date of such notice.

     12. Remedies Cumulative.

     13. Waiver of Defenses. Assignor agrees that Lender may, from time to time, without notice to Assignor, and without affecting, diminishing, or releasing the liability of Assignor hereunder (a) retain or obtain and perfect by possession a security interest in any property to secure the Loan, or any portion thereof, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary liability of any party or parties, in addition to Assignor, with respect to Loan, or any portion thereof, (c) extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period and on more than one occasion), alter, or exchange any of the Loan or increase or decrease the Loan, (d) release or

compromise, or any undertaking of any other party or parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Loan, (e) release its security interest, if any, in all or any property securing the Loan, or any portion thereof, and permit any substitution or exchange for any such property (but shall not be obligated to obtain or permit any substitution or exchange), and (f) alter, extend, exchange, modify, release, or cancel any covenant, agreement, or provision contained in a Loan Document. Assignor hereby expressly waives: (i) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notice whatever, except to the extent expressly provided to the contrary herein, (ii) all diligence on the part of Lender in collection or protection of, or realization upon, any security for the Loan, or any portion thereof, for enforcing any remedy available to it under any Loan Document, and (iii) the provisions of Section 10-7-24 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.

     15. Termination. This Assignment and the security title to and security interest created hereby in the Interest shall terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect on the date on which the Loan has been paid in full. To the extent that Lender holds any collateral or certificates evidencing the Interest, such shall be promptly returned upon termination of this Assignment.
     16. Miscellaneous.

This Assignment has been signed and executed in the State of Georgia, and the nature, validity, and effect of this Assignment shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

Norcross, GA – September 6, 2006 — Intelligent Systems Corporation (AMEX: INS) today announced the sale of its minority interest in Horizon Software, Inc., a privately held software company headquartered in Loganville, Georgia. Effective as of August 31, 2006, Intelligent Systems sold its entire holdings of Series A Preferred Shares of Horizon to Horizon Software Holdings, Inc. (the “Buyer”), an entity comprised of Horizon’s founder and other officers of the company. ISC sold the Horizon stock for an aggregate price of $5.7 million, consisting of $2.85 million in cash at the closing and a secured promissory note of Buyer for $2.85 million due January 31, 2007.
J. Leland Strange, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intelligent Systems Corporation, stated, “Our investment in Horizon enabled the company to build on its base in the K-12 education market for Foodservice Management systems and to accelerate its successful expansion into the military, higher education and corporate/resident dining markets. This sale transaction provides a solid return for Intelligent Systems and demonstrates the commitment and optimism of Horizon’s management owners to continue to excel as a privately-held software company.”
