REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
---------------------
$15,000,000 August 4, 1997
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned MAPICS, INC., a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of BANKBOSTON,
N.A., a national banking association (the "Bank") at the Agent's Head Office (as
defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below):
(a) prior to or on the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date the
principal amount of FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS ($15,000,000) or, if less, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the
Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement dated as of August 4, 1997 (as amended and in effect from time to
time, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, the Bank and other
parties thereto;
(b) without duplication of paragraph (a) hereof, the principal
outstanding hereunder from time to time at the times provided in the Credit
Agreement; and
(c) interest on the principal balance hereof from time to time
outstanding from the Closing Date under the Credit Agreement through and
including the maturity date hereof at the times and at the rate provided in
the Credit Agreement.
This Note evidences borrowings under and has been issued by the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Bank and any holder
hereof is entitled to the benefits of the Credit Agreement, the Security
Documents and the other Loan Documents, and may enforce the agreements of the
Borrower contained therein, and any holder hereof may exercise the respective
remedies provided for thereby or otherwise available in respect thereof, all in
accordance with the respective terms thereof. All capitalized terms used in this
Note and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as in
the Credit Agreement.
The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Bank to make or cause to be made,
at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or at the
time of receipt of any payment of principal of this Note, an appropriate
notation on the grid attached to this Note, or the continuation of such grid, or
any other similar record, including computer records, reflecting the making of
such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment.
The outstanding amount
-2-
of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on the grid attached to this Note, or
the continuation of such grid, or any other similar record, including computer
records, maintained by the Bank with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans shall
be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the
Bank, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount
on any such grid, continuation or other record shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Credit Agreement to
make payments of principal of and interest on this Note when due.
The Borrower has the right in certain circumstances and the obligation
under certain other circumstances to prepay the whole or part of the principal
of this Note on the terms and conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
If any one or more of the Events of Default shall occur, the entire unpaid
principal amount of this Note and all of the unpaid interest accrued thereon may
become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided
in the Credit Agreement.
No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in
exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any
other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver
on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on
any further occasion.
The Borrower and every endorser and guarantor of this Note or the
obligation represented hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and
all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, and assents to any extension
or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any
substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
THIS NOTE AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER SHALL FOR ALL
PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE
COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR
CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS
NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS OR ANY
FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND THE CONSENT TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE
BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN ss.21 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE
BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
-3-
TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN
AN INCONVENIENT COURT.
This Note shall be deemed to take effect as a sealed instrument under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Revolving Credit Note
to be signed in its corporate name and its corporate seal to be impressed
thereon by its duly authorized officer as of the day and year first above
written.
