EX-99.1 CHARTER 2 promnote.txt CAPITAL ONE, N.A. RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE BORROWER: Scientific Industries, Inc. PRINCIPAL: $500,000.00 DATE: As of November 1, 2009 PROMISE TO PAY: The undersigned, jointly and severally if more than one signer, does hereby promise to pay to the order of CAPITAL ONE, N.A. (the "Bank") at its offices at 275 Broadhollow Rd., Melville, New York, or at any of its branches, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($500,000.00) DOLLARS or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made to the undersigned by the Bank, whichever is less, plus interest thereon, in the manner set below. Interest will begin to accrue on the date funds are actually disbursed. RATE AND PAYMENT: Interest only on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of the Bank's Prime Rate per annum payable on December 1, 2009 and on the 1st day of each month thereafter until January 3, 2011 when all unpaid principal and interest shall be due in full. All payments shall be made by automatic debit from an account maintained at the Bank (Account #6924013102) in which Borrower shall maintain balances sufficient to pay the monthly payments. Such debit will occur on each monthly payment due date, as specified above. If a monthly payment due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the next business day will become the monthly payment due date. Payments shall be applied first to interest on unpaid principal balances to the monthly payment due date or the date payment is received by the Bank, whichever is later, and then to reduction of principal. If the interest rate is based on the Bank's announced Prime Rate, the interest rate shall change when the Prime Rate changes and nothing herein shall prevent the Bank from loaning money at less than Prime on such terms and conditions as it deems advisable. Interest shall be calculated on a 360-day year and actual number of days elapsed. GRID NOTE: The Borrower may borrow, repay in whole or in part, and reborrow on a revolving basis amounts up to $500,000.00. However, the Bank reserves the right to make or decline any request for an advance in its sole discretion and may condition the availability of an advance upon, among other things, the maintenance of a satisfactory financial condition. Borrower authorizes the Bank to keep a record of the amounts and dates of all advances and repayments hereunder, which record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal amount due hereunder; provided, however, that the failure to record any advance or repayment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower under this Note. PREPAYMENT: Prepayment in whole or in part may be made at any time without penalty. Any prepayment will be applied in inverse order of maturity and will not defer the payment schedule. RIGHT OF OFFSET: If any payment is not made on time, or if the entire balance becomes due and payable and is not paid, all or part of the amount due may be offset out of any account or other property which the undersigned has at the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank without prior notice or demand. This provision is in addition to and not in limitation of any right of common law or by statute. DEFAULT INTEREST RATE: The unpaid principal sum due under this Note shall bear interest at a rate equal to five (5%) per annum above the Rate set forth above on and after the occurrence of any event of default and until the entire principal sum hereof has been fully paid, both before and after the entry of any judgment with respect to such event, but in no event shall the rate either before or after the occurrence of an event of default exceed the highest rate of interest, if any, permitted under applicable New York or Federal Law. LATE CHARGES: Undersigned will pay a charge of 4% of the amount of any payment which is not made within 10 days of when due, or, if applicable, which cannot be debited from its account due to insufficient balance on the due date. SECURITY: A security interest in and assignment and pledge of all monies, deposits, or other sums now or hereafter held by the bank on deposit, in safekeeping, transit or otherwise, at any time credited by or due from Bank to the undersigned, or in which the undersigned shall have an interest.
