The unpaid principal balance of this promissory note ("Note") shall bear interest computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days, at a rate of interest (the "Effective Interest Rate") which is equal to: One percent (1%) per annum in excess of that rate of interest established by Bank as its prime rate (the "Index"), as such Index may vary from time to time. Borrower understands and agrees that the Effective Interest Rate payable to Bank under this Note shall be determined by reference to the Index, and not by reference to the actual rate of interest charged by the Bank to any particular borrower(s). If the Index shall be increased or decreased, the Effective Interest Rate under this Note shall be increased or decreased by the same amount, effective the day of each increase or decrease in the Index. If at any time the Bank shall abandon the quotation of that rate of interest used as the Index for this Note or the Index shall otherwise cease to exist, the Index shall be the base or prime commercial lending rate established by the Bank or its successor. This Note shall be paid to the Bank in consecutive payments of Eighty Five Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Three and 14/100 DOLLARS ($85,393.14) each including interest accrued to the date of such payment, commencing on the 1st day of November, 2000, and continuing on the 1st day of each month thereafter, until the Due Date, upon which date the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable to Bank in full. If this Note provides for installment payments of principal and interest and a variable interest rate, then upon any change in the Index, upwards or downwards, the installment payments due under this Note shall be adjusted by the Bank, as of the next installment due date after the Index change, to maintain amortization of the unpaid principal balance of this Note over the original amortization period. Borrower expressly assumes all risks of loss or delay in the delivery of any payments made by mail, and no course of conduct or dealing shall affect Borrower's assumption of these risks. Borrower shall not be required to pay interest at a rate greater than the maximum allowed by law and any interest payment received by Bank, which exceeds the maximum legal rate, shall be automatically credited upon the unpaid principal balance of this Note. If the Bank determines the Effective Interest Rate is, or may be, usurious or otherwise limited by law, the unpaid balance of this Note shall, at Bank's option, become immediately due and payable. This Note may be prepaid, in full or in part, at any time without penalty. All partial prepayments shall be applied against the last accruing installment or amount due under this Note and no partial prepayments shall affect the obligation of Borrower to continue making all payments specified in this Note until the entire unpaid principal and all accrued interest shall have been paid in full. All payments received shall, at the option of the Bank, first be applied against accrued and unpaid interest and the balance against principal. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events ("Events of Default") the Bank, at its option, and without notice to Borrower, may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, all accrued interest, and all other indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, to be immediately due and payable: (a) failure to pay any principal or interest payment to Bank when due; (b) any statement, warranty, or representation of Borrower or any guarantor made in this Note, the Related Documents, or in any financial statement now or hereafter furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of the Borrower or any guarantor, is false or misleading; (c) breach of any covenant, term, condition, or agreement stated in this Note or in any of the Related Documents by Borrower or any guarantor; (d) Borrower or any guarantor ceases doing business or Borrower's or any guarantor's existence is terminated by death, sale, dissolution, merger or otherwise; (e) any conveyance is made of substantially all of Borrower's assets, any assignment is made for the benefit of creditors, any receiver is appointed for Borrower, or any insolvency, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is filed by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (f) any attachment, execution, levy, forfeiture, tax lien, or similar writ or process is issued against any of Borrower's property; (g) any felony criminal proceeding is brought against Borrower, Borrower's management, or any guarantor; (h) Bank determines the interest rate charged by Bank on any loan to Borrower is usurious or otherwise unlawful or limited; (i) any material adverse change occurs or is imminent, the effect of which would be to substantially diminish Borrower's or any guarantor's financial condition, business, ability to perform their agreements with Bank, or the value of any collateral securing Borrower's indebtedness and other obligations to the Bank; (j) any other Borrower indebtedness to the Bank or any other creditor remains unpaid after acceleration of the maturity or after the maturity stated. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or upon non-payment of this Note after demand, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate, which is two percent (2%) greater than the Effective Interest Rate otherwise applicable. If any payment due under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days after the 2 date due, then, at the option of the Bank, a late charge of not more than five cents ($0.05) for each dollar of the installment past due may be charged by Bank. Borrower agrees to pay all of Bank's costs incurred in the collection of this Note, including reasonable attorney fees. Acceptance by Bank of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and Borrower's failure to pay the entire amount due shall be an Event of Default. Borrower and all guarantors hereof do hereby (i) jointly and severally waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest or protest of this Note, any defenses under 3-605 of the Michigan Uniform Commercial Code, the release of any collateral or part thereof, with or without substitution, and Bank diligence in collection or bringing suit, and (ii) consent to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications as may be granted by Bank with respect to payment or any other provisions of this Note. The liability of the Borrower under this Note shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to the liability of any other party. This Note shall be deemed to have been executed in, and the laws of the State of Michigan hereunder shall govern all rights and obligations. This Note evidences a Loan made under the terms of a Business Loan Agreement dated September 25th, 2000 and any amendments thereto and is secured by: [X] Security Agreement dated September 25th, 2000 Reference is hereby made to the document(s) and other agreement(s) described above (the "Related Documents") for additional terms and conditions relating to this Note.
