Louisville, Kentucky
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
the undersigned, CITIZENS
FINANCIAL CORPORATION , a Kentucky corporation (“
Borrower ”), having an address of Suite 300,
The Marketplace, 12910 Shelbyville Road, Louisville, Kentucky
40243, hereby promises and agrees to pay to the order of Darrell R.
Wells (“ Lender ”), having an address
of Suite 310, 4310 Brownsboro Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40207, the
aggregate principal sum of FIVE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,630,000.00), or so much thereof as
may be advanced hereunder, together with interest hereon as
hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States of
America, in the manner set forth herein, on or before June 30, 2007
(the “ Final Maturity Date
”).
This Third Amended, Consolidated and Restated
Promissory Note (this “ Note ”)
amends, consolidates, restates and replaces the Second Amended,
Consolidated and Restated Promissory Note ($5,330,000) dated as of
December 28, 2006 made by Maker to the order of Payee (the “
Prior Note ”). This Note is not intended to
be and shall not be construed as a novation of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Prior Note. This Note shall be entitled to the
benefits (in the same priority) of, inter alia
, any security at any time granted and pledged by Maker to Payee in
conjunction with the original execution and delivery of the Prior
Note or predecessor notes or by Maker or any other person at any
time thereafter. This Note also evidences an additional loan from
Lender to Borrower made on the date hereof in the original
principal amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000.00).
The principal of this Note shall bear interest
on the unpaid balance thereof at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of [i] six percent (6%) or [ii] one percent (1%)
in excess of the Prime Rate as it existed at the opening of
business on April 1, 2007. The rate per annum shall be reset at the
opening of business on the first day of each July, October, January
and April hereafter (each an “ Adjustment
Date ”) so that for the calendar quarter beginning
on that day the rate per annum shall equal the greater of
[i] six percent (6%) or [ii] one percent (1%) in
excess of the Prime Rate at the opening of business on that day.
The “ Prime Rate , as used in this Note,
shall mean that rate of interest announced from time to time by
National City Bank, Kentucky (the “ Bank
”) to be its prime rate at its principal office in
Louisville, Kentucky, it being understood
and agreed that such rate shall not necessarily be the lowest rate
the Bank then offers to its most creditworthy borrowers. As of
April 1, 2007, the Prime Rate of the Bank is eight and one-quarter
percent (8-1/4%), and accordingly the interest rate per annum on
this Note until the first Adjustment Date shall be nine and
one-quarter percent (9-1/4%).
All interest on this Note shall be computed
daily on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year
assumed to consist of three hundred sixty (360) days.
Principal of this Note shall be paid in a single
payment on the Final Maturity Date. All accrued and unpaid interest
shall be paid on each Adjustment Date for the preceding
calendar
quarter and
also on the Final Maturity Date or any other date on which the
principal balance of this Note is paid in full.
The holder of this Note shall have the right to
require repayment in full of this Note in whole or in part and all
accrued and unpaid interest hereon by giving written notice to
Borrower at the address first set forth above specifying a date for
repayment that shall be not less than ninety (90) days after the
date Borrower receives such notice.
Borrower reserves the right to repay the
principal of this Note in whole or in part without penalty or
premium at any time; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no
right to reborrow any amounts so repaid.
All payments of principal and interest and any
other sums due under this Note shall be made in immediately
available funds to Lender at its address set forth above in this
Note or to such other person or at such other address as may be
designated in writing by the holder of this Note. All payments on
this Note shall be applied first to the payment of any expenses or
charges payable hereunder, and next to accrued interest, and then
to the principal balance hereof, or in such other order as Lender
may elect in its sole discretion.
Any payment on this Note that is overdue for
more than five (5) days from its due date shall, if requested by
and at the sole option of the holder of this Note, in order to
compensate the holder for the inconvenience and administrative
expense incident to such delinquency and not as a penalty, be
increased by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue
