REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
FIRST INTERSTATE BANK OF TEXAS, N.A.
NO.________ Houston, Texas ________________, 1995 $2,000,000.00
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, VISUAL NUMERICS, INC. (formerly IMSL,
INC.), a Texas corporation (herein called "Maker"), promises to pay to the order
of FIRST INTERSTATE BANK OF TEXAS, N.A. (herein called "Payee," which term
herein in every instance shall refer to any owner or holder of this note) the
sum of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may
be advanced and outstanding from time to time hereunder by Payee, together with
interest on the principal hereof from time to time outstanding from the date of
advancement until maturity, at the per annum rate hereinafter stated (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days
elapsed), said principal and interest being payable in lawful money of the
United States of America at the banking quarters of First Interstate Bank of
Texas, N.A., First Interstate Bank Plaza, 1000 Louisiana, Houston, ▇▇▇▇▇▇
County, Texas, or at such other place in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas, as Payee may
designate hereafter in writing to Maker.
This note is issued pursuant to that certain Second Restated and Amended
Loan Agreement dated as of December 16, 1992, by and among Maker, Visual
Numerics, Inc. of Colorado (formerly known as IMSL Acquisition Corp., Inc.), and
Payee, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Restated and Amended
Loan Agreement executed as of February 28, 1994 but effective as of December 15,
1993 and that certain Second Amendment to Second Restated and Amended Loan
Agreement dated as of even date herewith (the Second Restated and Amended Loan
Agreement, as amended and as it may hereafter be amended, renewed, supplemented
or restated, is referred to as the "Loan Agreement"), and reference is made
hereby to the Loan Agreement for certain rights as to the prepayment and the
acceleration of the maturity hereof. All capitalized terms used herein but not
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
The principal balance hereof advanced and from time to time remaining
unpaid shall bear interest during each day of the term of the loan evidenced
hereby at a variable per annum rate equal to the lesser of (A) a per annum rate
that is equal to the sum (herein called the "Basic
Page 1 of 5 Pages
Rate") of (i) one percent per annum plus (ii) the prime rate of interest (herein
called the "Prime Rate"), being the variable per annum rate of interest most
recently announced by First Interstate Bank of Texas, N.A. (herein sometimes
called the "Bank") as its "prime rate", with the understanding that the Bank's
"prime rate" may be one of several base rates and serves as a basis upon which
effective rates of interest are from time to time calculated for loans making
reference thereto and may not be the lowest of the Bank's base rates, which
Basic Rate shall change when and as the Prime Rate shall change, effective on
the day of such change or (B) the Maximum Rate (herein after defined).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Basic Rate shall exceed the
Maximum Rate and thereafter the Basic Rate shall become less than the Maximum
Rate, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall remain at the Maximum Rate
until Payee shall have received the amount of interest it would have received
otherwise if the interest payable hereunder had not been limited to the Maximum
Rate during the period of time the Basic Rate exceeded the Maximum Rate.
All past due principal and interest of this note, whether due as the result
of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall bear interest at the lesser of
(1) a rate that is five percentage points above the Prime Rate as it varies or
(2) the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted by the applicable usury laws,
now or hereafter enacted, which interest rate (herein called the "Maximum Rate")
shall change when and as said laws shall change to the extent permitted by said
laws, effective on the day such change in said laws becomes effective, from the
date the payment thereof shall have become due until the same have been fully
discharged by payment.
The principal and interest of this note are due and payable as follows:
(a) Interest hereon shall be due and payable monthly as it accrues,
with the first installment to be due and payable on March 31, 1995, and a like
installment to be due and payable on the last day of each succeeding calendar
month thereafter until the principal amount of this note is paid in full; and
(b) The outstanding principal amount of this note shall be due and
payable in full on or before the Termination Date.
Until the Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan
Agreement, the undersigned may borrow, pay, prepay in whole or in part and
reborrow hereunder, so long as not more than the aggregate principal amount at
any one time outstanding under this note does not exceed an amount equal to the
lesser of the Line of Credit Commitment or the Loan Formula; it being expressly
contemplated that, by reason of prepayments hereon, there may be times when no
indebtedness is owing hereunder, but, notwithstanding such occurrences, this
note shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to loans or
advances made subsequent to
Page 2 of 5 Pages
such occurrences; and it being understood and agreed that advances and
repayments of principal under this note are not limited to the lesser of the
Line of Credit Commitment or the Loan formula but to a maximum of the lesser of
the Line of Credit Commitment or the Loan Formula at any one time outstanding.
Payee may advance funds pursuant to this note from time to time, and from time
to time the undersigned will make repayments on the principal of this note, so
that no more than the lesser of the Line of Credit Commitment or the Loan
Formula shall be outstanding at any one time. Each advance and each payment of
principal hereunder shall be reflected by a notation made by Payee in its
business records. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances reflected by
the notations made in Payee's business records shall be rebuttably presumptive
evidence of the principal amount owing under this note, which amount the
undersigned unconditionally promises to pay to the order of Payee under the
terms hereof.
Maker and any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this note and
all other parties now or hereafter liable hereon, severally waive, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, grace, demand, presentment for payment, protest,
notice of any kind (including, but not limited to, notice of dishonor, notice of
protest, notice of intention to accelerate and notice of acceleration) and
diligence in collecting and bringing suit against any party hereto, and agree
(i) to all extensions and partial payments, with or without notice, before or
after maturity, (ii) to any substitution, exchange or release of any security
now or hereafter given for this note, (iii) to the release of any party
primarily or secondarily liable hereon, and (iv) that it will not be necessary
for Payee, in order to enforce payment of this note, to first institute or
exhaust Payee's remedies against Maker or any other party liable therefor or
against any security for this note.
In the event of default hereunder or under any of the instruments securing
payment hereof and this note is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection (whether or not suit is filed), or if this note is collected by suit
or legal proceedings or through bankruptcy proceedings, Maker agrees to pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees and all expenses of collection and costs of court.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with applicable usury
laws (now or hereafter enacted); accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary in this note, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or
otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this note or such documents require
the payment or permit the payment, taking, reserving, charging, or receipt of
interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If any such
excess of interest is contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received under
this note or under the terms of any of the documents securing payment hereof or
otherwise relating hereto, or in the event the maturity of the indebt edness
evidenced by this note is accelerated in whole or in part, or in the event that
all or part of the principal of or interest on this note shall be prepaid, so
that under any of such circumstances or any other circumstance the amount of
interest contracted
Page 3 of 5 Pages
for, charged, taken, reserved or received under this note or under any of the
instruments securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, on the amount
of principal actually outstanding from time to time under this note shall exceed
the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, then in any
such event (i) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (ii)
any such excess which may have been collected at final maturity of said
indebtedness shall be applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal
amount hereof and the remainder, if any, shall be refunded to Maker, (iii) with
respect to subparagraph (ii), upon such final maturity, the effective rate of
interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed under
applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having
jurisdiction thereof, and (iv) any such excess which may have been charged but
not paid, taken, reserved or received shall be null and void, and cancelled ab
initio to the extent of such excess. Without limiting the foregoing, all
calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or
received under this note or under such other documents which are made for the
purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate, shall
be made, to the extent permitted by law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating
and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the
loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with such
indebtedness.
Except to the extent required by federal law, this note shall be governed
by and construed under the laws of the State of Texas.
Any check, draft, money order or other instrument given in payment of all
or any portion hereof may be accepted by Payee and handled in collection in the
customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or
diminish any rights of Payee except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of
such instrument are unconditionally received by Payee.
Maker and Payee agree that Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. ▇▇▇ art. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. 15 (which
regulates certain revolving loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts)
shall not apply to any revolving loan accounts created under this note or
maintained in connection therewith.
To the extent that the interest rate laws of the State of Texas are
applicable to this note, the applicable interest rate ceiling is the indicated
(weekly) ceiling determined in accordance with Article 5069-1.04(a)(1) of the
Texas Revised Civil Statutes, as amended, and, to the extent that this note is
deemed an open end account as such term is defined in Article 5069-1.01(f) of
the Texas Revised Civil Statutes, as amended, the Payee retains the right to
modify the interest rate in accordance with applicable law.

Maker represents and warrants to Payee and to all other owners and holders
of any indebtedness evidenced hereby that all loans evidenced by this note are
for business, commercial, investment or other similar purpose and not primarily
for personal, family, household or agricultural use, as such terms are used or
defined in Texas Revised Civil Statutes, Article 5069-1.04, Texas Credit Code
and Regulation Z promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and under Titles I and V of the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
This note is given in rearrangement, modification, and increase of, but not
in novation or discharge of, that certain promissory note dated February 28,
1994, executed by Maker and payable to the order of Payee in the original
principal amount of $1,900,000, which note was given in partial renewal,
rearrangement, decrease and extension of, but not in novation or discharge of,
that certain promissory note (collectively, the "Prior Notes") dated December
16, 1992, executed by Maker and payable to the order of Payee, in the original
principal amount of $2,000,000. Any and all liens and security interests
securing payment of the Prior Notes are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed,
