$900,000.00
Dated as of
September 15, 1999

1. INDEBTEDNESS. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HILL INDUSTRIES, INC., a California corporation (“Maker”) promises to pay to SANTA MONICA BANK, a California banking corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Bank”), on order, at 1324 Fifth Street, Santa Monica, California 90406-1075 or such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this Secured Promissory Note (hereinafter referred to as this “Note”), the principal sum of Nine Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($900000.00), or such lesser amount as may be outstanding from time to time, together with interest accrued thereon. This Note evidences revolving advances made by Bank to Maker pursuant to Sections 2.1A of that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, of even date herewith, between Bank and Maker, as amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”).
 
2. INTEREST. Commencing on the date hereof the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a rate two (2.00) percentage points in excess of the prime rate of interest (the highest variable rate of interest, per annum, published daily as the “prime rate” in the Money Rates Section of the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal - hereinafter referred to as the “Prime Rate”). In the event that such a rate is no longer published, then the “Prime Rate” shall mean the variable rate of interest, per annum, most recently announced by Bank at its office in Santa Monica, as its “prime rate”, with the understanding that Bank’s “prime rate” is one of its base rates and serves as a basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for loans making reference thereto and may not be the lowest of Bank’s base rates). In the event that any installment required pursuant to Section 3 of this Note is not paid when due, or any other default occurs under the terms of this Note, and without affecting any of Bank’s rights and remedies provided herein, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall thereafter bear interest at a rate seven (7.00) percentage points above the Prime Rate. In the event that the Prime Rate is, from time to time hereafter, changed, adjustments in the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be made as of 12:01 A.M. on the effective date of the change in the Prime Rate. Interest chargeable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for actual days elapsed.
 
3. PAYMENT. Principal and interest shall be due and payable on the dates and in the manner as follows:
 
(a) Commencing on the first (1st) day of October, 1999, and continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Maker shall make monthly payments of interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance hereof,
 
(b) Commencing on the first (1st) day of October, 1999, and continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Maker shall make a monthly principal payment in the amount of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00).
 
 

 
 
(c) On the first (1st) day of February, 2000, Maker shall make payment in full of the unpaid principal balance hereof remaining unpaid on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder.
 
4. REDUCTION IN THE MAXIMUM CREDIT LINE. The monthly installments of principal required under Section 3b of this Note shall constitute a permanent reduction in the Maximum Credit Line (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement). Maker shall not be entitled to reborrow the installment payments made pursuant to such Section.
 
5. PREPAYMENT. Maker may prepay all or part of the principal balance due under this Note, without premium or penalty. With each prepayment Maker shall also pay the interest accrued on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of such prepayment. So long as not event of default shall have occurred under the Loan Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 4 of this Note, Maker may request advances from Bank following the prepayment of any amounts hereunder.
 
6. COMPOUND INTEREST. Interest not paid when due may be added to the unpaid principal balance hereof and shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as principal. All payments hereunder are to be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and the balance remaining applied to the payment of principal. All principal and interest due hereunder is payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
 
7. LATE CHARGE. If a payment of principal or interest is ten (10) days or more late, Maker will be charged five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such payment. The late charge payable by Maker hereunder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other rights and remedies of Bank.
 
8. WAIVERS. Maker, for itself, its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection, and consents that Bank may extend the time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of any part or the whole of the debt evidenced hereby. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maker waives the statute of limitations in any action brought by Bank in connection with this Note.
 
9. ACCELERATION. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THEN THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, SHALL THEREUPON BE IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER HEREOF, WITHOUT PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST OR NOTICE OF PROTEST OF ANY KIND, ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED.
 
10. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND CHOICE OF LAW. In the event it should become necessary to employ counsel to collect this Note, Maker agrees to pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs for in-house legal services provided and attorneys’ fees and paralegals’ fees in all bankruptcy proceedings) and cost of the holder hereof, whether or not suit is brought.
