RENEWED, AMENDED AND RESTATED
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
[Florida]
$300,000.00 February 12, ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
WHEREAS, Ridgewood Hotels, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ridgewood")
issued to Louisville Hotel, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Louisville")
that certain Secured Promissory Note (Florida) dated September 30, 1999 in the
principal amount of $300,000 (the "Original Note");
WHEREAS, Ridgewood and Louisville have agreed to renew, amend and restate
the Original Note as more particularly set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Original Note is hereby renewed, amended and restated
as follows:
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, RIDGEWOOD HOTELS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Maker"), hereby promises to pay to LOUISVILLE HOTEL, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Holder"), or order, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, the principal amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
($300,000.00), with interest on such amount until paid, at the rate set forth
below and payable as follows:
1. Interest Rate
The amount of outstanding principal shall bear interest at the rate of
thirteen percent (13%) per annum from October 1, 1999 through February 12, 2003,
and at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from and after February 12, 2003;
provided, however, that if there is an Event of Default with respect to any
monetary obligation then for so long as such Event of Default continues the
outstanding principal shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%).
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year.
2. Term
Principal, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be
due and payable in quarterly installments in the amount of $50,000 with the
first such installment due on July 1, 2004 and subsequent installments due on
the first day of each October, January, April and July thereafter until such
time as the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest have been paid in
full; provided, however, that Maker's obligations to make such principal and
interest payments are limited by the provisions of paragraph 19 hereof.
3. Payment
Interest only shall be payable in monthly installments in arrears and
interest payments for each month shall be due on the fifteenth (15th) day of
each following month beginning on February 15, 2003, and continuing until the
date on which the final principal payment is due, on
which date the amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal balance,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable.
Any payment hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of costs and
charges of collection, if any, then to accrued interest, and the balance, if
any, shall be then applied to reduction of principal. Principal and interest are
payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
4. Late Payment
Maker agrees that if on or after February 12, 2003 for any reason it fails
to make any of the monthly or quarterly payments required herein, within five
(5) days after the due date, Holder shall be entitled to damages for the
detriment caused thereby, the extent of which damages are extremely difficult
and impractical to ascertain. Maker therefore agrees that a sum equal to five
percent (5%) of such delinquent payment is a reasonable estimate of such damages
and Maker agrees to pay such sum upon demand by Holder. Acceptance of such late
charge by the Holder shall in no event constitute a waiver of Maker's default
with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent the Holder from exercising any
of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
5. Security Agreement
This Note is secured by the Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security
Agreement from Ridgewood to Louisville recorded October 18, 1999 in Official
Records Book 3741, page 1746, as corrected by that certain Corrected and Amended
and Recorded Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement filed in
Official Records Book 3789, page 924, as modified by the Partial Release of
Mortgage filed in Official Records Book 3789, page 940 between the parties (the
"Security Agreement") with respect to certain land located in Seminole County,
Florida as more fully described in the Security Agreement (the "Property") and
by that Certain Membership Interest Security Agreement between Ridgewood Hotels,
Inc. and Louisville Hotel L.P. dated as of September 30, 1999 as amended (the
"Membership Interest Agreement"). All references to the Official Records Book
are references to the public records of Seminole County, Florida.
6. Default/Acceleration
If any one or more of the following events shall occur (hereinafter called an
"Event of Default"), namely: (i) default shall be made in the payment of any
installment hereunder, when due which is not cured within any applicable cure
period; or (ii) Maker shall become insolvent, or shall be unable to pay its
debts as they mature; or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
as they mature; or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
shall file or commence or have filed or commenced against it any proceeding for
any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any law or laws relating to
the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganizations,
compositions or extensions, or a receiver or trustee shall be appointed for the
undersigned; or (iii) there shall be a material adverse change in the financial
condition of Maker as compared to its financial condition as of the date hereof
or (iv) an event of default shall exist under the Security Agreement or the
Membership Interest Agreement which is not cured within any applicable cure
period; or (v) there is an Event of Default under that certain
2
Amended and Restated Promissory Note between Maker and Holder dated of even date
herewith in the principal amount of $933,000 (vi) Maker shall fail to comply
with any other provision of this Note; or (vii) any representation or warranty
made herein or in the Security Agreement shall be false in any material respect;
or and with respect to each of the foregoing, in the case of any monetary
obligation, the same shall not be paid within five (5) days of written notice of
such failure by Holder to Maker, and in the case of any non-monetary obligation
which is curable, the same shall not be cured within twenty (20) days of written
notice of such failure by Holder to Maker (provided that if a cure period is
provided in the Security Agreement or Membership Interest Agreement, such cure
period shall control with respect to defaults under such agreement, and the cure
period provided herein shall not apply with respect thereto), THEN, upon the
occurrence of any such Event of Default, or upon the expiration of the term of
this Note, Holder at its election, and without presentment, demand, notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Maker, may declare the entire
outstanding balance of principal and interest thereon immediately due and
payable, together with all costs of collection, including attorneys' fees, or
may exercise upon or enforce its rights to its collateral, as may be set forth
in the Security Agreement or otherwise.
7. No Waiver By Holder
The acceptance by Holder of any payment under this Note after the date
such payment is due, or the failure to declare an Event of Default as herein
provided, shall not constitute a waiver of any of the terms of this Note or the
right to require the prompt payment when due of future or succeeding payments or
to declare an Event of Default for any failure to so pay or for any other
default. The acceptance by Holder of a payment of a portion of any installment
at any time that such installment is due in full shall not cure or excuse the
default caused by the failure to pay such installment in full and shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to require full payment when due of all future
or succeeding installments.
8. Attorneys' Fees And Costs
In the event Holder takes any action to enforce any provision of this
Note, either through legal proceedings or otherwise, Maker promises to
immediately reimburse Holder for reasonable attorneys' fees and all other costs
and expenses so incurred. Maker shall also reimburse Holder for all reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred in the representation of Holder in
any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-relief proceeding of
or relating to Maker or any security for the obligations hereunder, or for any
action to enforce any judgment rendered hereon or relating to enforcement
hereof.
9. Waivers
The Maker, endorsers, guarantors and sureties of this Note hereby waive
diligence, demand, presentment, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of
protest; expressly agree that this Note, or any payment hereunder, may be
renewed, modified or extended from time to time and at any time; and consent to
the acceptance or release of security for this Note or the release of any party
or guarantor, all without in any way affecting their liability and waive the
right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense to any demand on
this Note, or on any guaranty thereof, or to any agreement to pay the same to
the full extent permissible by law.
3
10. Maximum Interest
In no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to
Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money to be loaned hereunder or
otherwise, for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation
contained herein, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If
from any circum-stance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof exceeds
the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such
circumstance Holder shall ever receive as interest under this Note or otherwise
an amount that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing hereunder and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal, such excess shall be refunded
to Maker.
11. Prepayment
Maker may prepay this Note in full or in part at any time without
prepayment charge; provided that any partial prepayments of principal shall be
in an amount not less than $50,000. No partial prepayment shall release Maker
from thereafter tendering all regular scheduled monthly payments required herein
until the Note is paid in full.
12. Notices
Any notice which a party is required or may desire to give the other shall
be in writing and may be sent by personal delivery or by mail (either (i) by

an amount equal to all remaining outstanding principal hereunder plus any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon or (ii) convey to Holder (or such other
entity as Holder designates in writing prior to such conveyance) good and
marketable title to the Property subject only to this Note and the Permitted
Title Exceptions shown on Exhibit A hereto and those matters set forth on that

the Property) and (2) direct unimpeded access to the Property from a public
roadway by a properly recorded grant of
6
easement providing for the perpetual right in favor of the Owner(s), from time

is sufficient in size and configuration to allow pedestrian and vehicular
traffic (including automobiles and full size trucks) or (b) such other access as

interest due or any other amount under this Note, and Holder agrees that in no
event shall any monetary deficiency judgment for such amount be sought or
secured against Maker for the payment of sums due hereunder.
