TERM NOTE

     
$2,500,000
  Atlanta, Georgia
 
  June 13, 2005

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE ULTIMATE SOFTWARE GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California-chartered bank (“Bank”), at such place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all equipment advances (“Term Advances”) made by Bank to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated November 29, 2001 (as amended from time to time the “Loan Agreement”), up to a maximum principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (“Principal Sum”), or so much thereof as may be advanced and remains unpaid. Borrower may request Term Advances under this Note from and until the Term Loan Availability End Date. The unpaid Principal Sum, together with interest thereon at the rate or rates provided in the Loan Agreement, shall accrue and be payable as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

     Borrower further agrees that, if any payment made by Borrower or any other person is applied to this Note and is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any property hereafter securing this Note is required to be returned by Bank to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, Borrower’s liability hereunder (and any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto any such lien, security interest or other collateral hereafter securing Borrower’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, this Note (and such lien, security interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower in respect of the amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such obligation).

     This Note is the “Term Note” described in that certain Seventh Loan Modification Agreement of even date herewith by and between the Borrower and the Bank, which Seventh Loan Modification Agreement amends the Loan Agreement, to which reference is hereby made for a more complete statement of the terms and conditions under which the Term Loan Advances evidenced hereby are made. This Note is secured as provided in the Loan Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of Borrower and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Bank shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the then due and owing obligations of Borrower as Bank may deem advisable. In the absence of a specific determination by Bank with respect thereto, all payments shall be applied in the following order: (a) then due and payable fees and expenses; (b) then due and payable interest payments and mandatory prepayments; and (c) then due and payable principal payments and optional prepayments.

     Bank is hereby authorized by Borrower to endorse on Bank’s books and records each Advance made by Bank under this Note and the amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of each such

 


 

Advance received by Bank; it being understood, however, that failure to make any such endorsement (or any error in notation) shall not affect the obligations of Borrower with respect to Term Loan Advances made hereunder, and payments of principal by Borrower shall be credited to Borrower notwithstanding the failure to make a notation (or any errors in notation) thereof on such books and records.

          The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (individually, an “Event of Default” and collectively, the “Events of Default”) under the terms of this Note:

          (a) The failure of Borrower to pay to Bank when due any and all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under the terms of this Note; or

          (b) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein) under the terms and conditions of any of the other Loan Documents.

     Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the option of Bank, all amounts payable by Borrower to Bank under the terms of this Note shall immediately become due and payable by Borrower to Bank without notice to Borrower or any other person, and Bank shall have all of the rights, powers, and remedies available under the terms of this Note, any of the other Loan Documents and all applicable laws. Borrower and all endorsers, guarantors, and other parties who may now or in the future be primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note hereby severally waive presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of this Note and expressly agree that this Note or any payment hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of Borrower, guarantors and endorsers.

     Borrower promises to pay all costs and expense of collection of this Note and to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in such collection, whether or not there is a suit or action, or in any suit or action to collect this Note or in any appeal thereof. No delay by Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right. Time is of the essence as to all obligations hereunder.

     This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which shall govern the rights and obligations of Borrower with respect to all obligations hereunder.

     Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, excluding conflicts of laws principles, even though for the convenience and at the request of Borrower, this Note may be executed elsewhere.

     BORROWER ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND, AGAINST IT WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR BY REASON OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF FOR ANY REASON BANK CANNOT AVAIL ITSELF OF THE COURTS OF FLORIDA, BORROWER ACCEPTS JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS AND VENUE IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS,

TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.
