Exhibit 4.21
Dated as of February 3, 1997
MASTER NOTE
(CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP OR JOINT VENTURE)
This Note has been executed by SUN HYDRAULICS CORPORATION, a
corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida ("Borrower"); if more
than one entity executes this Note, the term "Borrower" refers to each of them
individually and some or all of them collectively, and their obligations
hereunder shall be joint and several.* If a land trustee executes this Note,
"Borrower" as used in sections 6 and 7 below also includes any beneficiary(ies)
of the land trust.**
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before February 3, 1998, the scheduled
maturity date hereof, Borrower promises to pay to the order of NORTHERN TRUST
BANK OF FLORIDA, N.A., a national banking association (hereafter, together with
any subsequent holder hereof, called "Lender), at its banking office at 1515
Ringling Blvd., Sarasota, FL., or at such other place as Lender may direct, the
aggregate unpaid principal balance of each advance (a "Loan" and collectively
the "Loans") made by Lender to Borrower hereunder. The total principal amount of
Loans outstanding at any one time hereunder shall not exceed ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇/▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00).
Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time and from time to
time at Lender's sole option to attach a schedule (grid) to this Note and to
endorse thereon notations with respect to each Loan specifying the date and
principal amount thereof, the Interim Maturity Date (as defined below) (if
applicable), the applicable interest rate and rate option, and the date and
amount of each payment of principal and interest made by Borrower with respect
to each such Loan. Lender's endorsements as well as its records relating to
Loans shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the outstanding principal and
interest on the Loans, and, in the event of inconsistency, shall prevail over
any records of Borrower and any written confirmations of Loans given by
Borrower.
If Borrower wishes to obtain a Loan under this Note, Borrower shall
notify Lender orally or in writing on a banking day. Any such notice shall be
irrevocable; if the notice is received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time the Loan may
not be available until the next banking day. Additional procedures for "Bank
Offered Rate" Loans, if available, are set forth below.
--------
* Insert "N/A" in any blank in this Note which is not
applicable.
** Land trustee may not sign upon direction of individual
beneficiary(ies) unless Loans are for business purposes.
2
Each request for a Loan shall be deemed to be a representation and
warranty by Borrower to Lender that: (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event
of Default (in each case as defined below) has occurred and is continuing as of
the date of such request or would result from the making of the Loan; and (ii)
Borrower's representations and warranties herein are true and correct as of such
date as though made on such date. Upon receipt of each Loan request Lender in
its sole discretion shall have the right to request that Borrower provide to
Lender, prior to Lender's funding of the Loan, a certificate executed by
Borrower's President, Treasurer, or Chief Financial Officer (if Borrower is a
corporation), or a general partner or joint venturer of Borrower (if Borrower is
a partnership or joint venture) to such effect.
1. INTEREST.
Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount
from time to time outstanding hereunder at the following rate per
year: (CHECK ONE ONLY)
/x/ (i) The "Prime-Based Rate", which shall mean the Prime Rate
plus zero percent (0%).
/ / ***(ii) The "Bank Offered Rate", which shall be equal to that rate of
interest offered by Lender and accepted by Borrower and fixed for
periods of up to one year ("Interest Period(s)") (the last day of any
Interest Period being referred to as an "Interim Maturity Date"). Other
description N/A .
"Prime Rate" means that rate of interest announced from time to time by Lender
called its prime rate, which rate may not at any time be the lowest rate charged
by Lender. Changes in the rate of interest on the Loans resulting from a change
in the Prime Rate shall take effect on the date set forth in each announcement
of a change in the Prime Rate.
Without limiting Borrower's obligation to repay all outstanding Loans
in full on the scheduled maturity date, each Loan at the Bank Offered Rate shall
be due and payable in full on its Interim Maturity Date. After the maturity of
any Loan, whether by acceleration or otherwise, such Loan shall bear interest
until paid, at a rate equal to six percent (6%) in addition to the rate in
effect immediately prior to maturity (but not less than the Prime Rate in effect
at maturity).
If this Note bears interest at the Bank Offered Rate and Borrower
requests a Loan, Lender shall in its sole discretion offer or decline to offer a
Bank Offered Rate (and if it offers a Bank Offered Rate, the rate of such Bank
Offered Rate shall be in
------------------
*** Do not use if collateral includes real estate.
2
3
Lender's sole discretion), and Borrower shall irrevocably accept or decline such
particular Bank Offered Rate and the related Loan and confirm such acceptance in
writing by letter or other written communication dated and sent the date of such
borrowing. Any confirmation by lender of the rate and Interest Period for any
Bank Offered Rate Loan shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
Without limiting Borrower's obligations under any other document or instrument,
Lender may relay without inquiry upon any person whom it reasonably believes to
be a party authorized to accept or decline such Bank Offered Rate and the
related Loan. Lender has no obligation to make a new Loan to Borrower when a
Loan at the Bank Offered Rate matures on its Interim Maturity Date.
Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the
basis of a year consisting of 360 days, including the date a Loan is made and
excluding the date a Loan or any portion thereof is paid or prepaid. Interest
shall be due and payable as follows:
/x/ Monthly, on the 1st day of each month, beginning March 1, 1997, with
all accrued but unpaid interest being due and payable in full with the
final principal payment due hereunder.
/ / Quarterly, on the N/A day of each ,
-------- ---------------------------
, , and
-------------------- ------------- ---------------------------
in each year, beginning , with all accrued but unpaid interest being
due and payable in full with the final principal payment due hereunder.
/ / Other N/A
---------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, if the Bank Offered Rate is available under this Note, interest on
any Loan at the Bank Offered Rate, if not otherwise previously due and payable
as indicated above, shall be due and payable in full on the last day of each
Interest Period. After maturity interest shall be payable on demand.
2. PREPAYMENTS.
Borrower may prepay without penalty or premium any principal bearing
interest at the Prime-Based Rate. If Borrower prepays any principal bearing
interest at the Bank Offered Rate in whole or in part, or if the maturity of any
such Bank Offered Rate principal is accelerated, then, to the fullest extent
permitted by law Borrower shall also pay Lender for all losses (including but
not limited to interest rate margin and any other losses of anticipated profits)
and expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits
acquired by Lender to make the Loan or maintain principal outstanding at the
Bank Offered Rate. Upon Lender's demand in writing specifying such losses and
expenses, Borrower shall promptly pay them, Lender's specification shall be
deemed
3
4
correct in the absence of manifest error. Each Loan bearing interest at the Bank
Offered Rate shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded by or on behalf of
Lender by the purchase of a deposit corresponding in amount to such Loan and in
maturity to the Interest Period specified by Lender.

7. DEFAULT REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default specified in Section 6(a)-(k), Lender at its option may declare this
Note (principal, interest and other amounts) immediately due and payable without
notice or demand of any kind. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
specified in Section 6(l)-(m), this Note (principal, interest and other amounts)
shall be immediately and automatically due and payable without action of any
kind on the part of Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Lender may exercise any rights and remedies under this
Note, any related document or instrument (including without limitation any
pertaining to collateral), and at law or in equity.
8
9
In addition, without limiting the Lender's right to accelerate this
Note as provided above, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing under
Section 6(a)-(k) (including without limitation failure to furnish or cause to be
furnished financial statements as required by this Note or any related
document), then, at the Lender's election and beginning five (5) days after
written notice of such an Event of Default is given by Lender and continuing
until such Event of Default is no longer continuing and the Lender is aware of
such fact, the interest rate hereunder shall increase by one quarter of one
percent (.25%) during the first thirty (30) day period beginning five (5) days
after such notice is given, and increase (cumulatively) by an additional one
quarter of one percent (.25%) during and effective with respect to each thirty
(30) day period thereafter during which such Event of Default continues. The
increased interest rate(s) provided for in the previous sentence shall apply to
the entire outstanding principal balance hereunder, and the interest rate shall
revert to the otherwise applicable interest rate effective on the date on which
the Event of Default is no longer continuing and the Lender is aware of such
fact; the provisions of this sentence and the preceding sentence shall not apply
if this Note is covered by Regulation Z of the Federal Reserve Board (Truth in
Lending) or any like disclosure requirement.
(b) Lender may, by written notice to Borrower, at any time and from
time to time, waive any Event of Default or "Unmatured Event of Default" (as
defined below), which shall be for such period and subject to such conditions as
shall be specified in any such notice. In the case of any such waiver, Lender
and Borrower shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder,
and any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default so waived shall be deemed
to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to or impair any
subsequent or other Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default. No failure
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Lender of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies of Lender herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law. "Unmatured Event of Default" means any event
or condition which would become an Event of Default with notice of the passage
of time or both.
8. NO INTEREST OVER LEGAL RATE.
Borrower does not intend or expect to pay, nor does Lender intend or
expect to charge, accept or collect any interest which, when added to any fee or
other charge upon the principal which may legally be treated as interest, shall
be in excess of the highest lawful rate. If acceleration, prepayment or any
other charges upon the principal or any portion thereof, or any other
circumstance, result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the
9
10
highest lawful rate, then any and all such excess is hereby waived and shall be
applied against the remaining principal balance. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein
or otherwise, no deposit of funds shall be required in connection herewith which
will, when deducted from the principal amount outstanding hereunder, cause the
rate of interest hereunder to exceed the highest lawful rate.
9. PAYMENTS, ETC.
All payments hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds,
and shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal; however,
if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, in its sole discretion, and in such
order as it may choose, apply any payment to interest, principal and/or lawful
charges and expenses then accrued. Borrower shall receive immediate credit on
payments received during Lender's normal banking hours if made in cash,
immediately available funds, or by debit to available balances in an account at
Lender; otherwise payments shall be credited after clearance through normal
banking channels. Borrower authorizes Lender to charge any account of Borrower
maintained with Lender for any amounts of principal, interest, taxes, duties, or
other charges or amounts due or payable hereunder, with the amount of such
payment subject to availability of collected balances in Lender's discretion;
unless Borrower instructs otherwise, all Loans shall be credited to an
account(s) of Borrower with Lender. LENDER AT ITS OPTION MAY MAKE LOANS
HEREUNDER UPON TELEPHONIC INSTRUCTIONS AND IN SO DOING SHALL BE FULLY ENTITLED
TO RELY SOLELY UPON INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION INSTRUCTIONS TO
MAKE TRANSFERS TO THIRD PARTIES, REASONABLY BELIEVED BY LENDER TO HAVE BEEN
GIVEN BY AN AUTHORIZED PERSON, WITHOUT INDEPENDENT INQUIRY OF ANY TYPE. All
payments shall be made without deduction for or on account of any present or
future taxes, duties or other charges levied or imposed on this Note or the
proceeds. Lender or Borrower by any government or political subdivision thereof.
Borrower shall upon request of Lender pay all such taxes, duties or other
charges in addition to principal and interest, including without limitation all
documentary stamp and intangible taxes, but excluding income taxes based solely
on Lender's income.
10. SETOFF.
At any time and without notice of any kind, any account, deposit or
other indebtedness owing by Lender to Borrower, and any securities or other
property of Borrower delivered to or left in the possession of Lender or its
nominee or bailee, may be set off against and applied in payment of any
obligation hereunder, whether due or not.
