FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, PAYLOCITY CORPORATION, an Illinois corporation with its principal place of business at 3850 North Wilke Road, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60004 (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to COMMERCE BANK & TRUST COMPANY, a Massachusetts banking corporation (the “Lender”), OR ORDER, at its office at 386 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts 01608, or such other place as the Lender may from time to time specify in writing, the principal sum of TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,500,000.00), with interest on the unpaid principal until paid at the rate and in the manner hereinafter provided in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

Interest shall be calculated on the daily unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year assumed to have 360 days, provided that interest shall be due for the actual number of days elapsed during each period for which interest is being charged.

 

The unpaid principal of this Promissory Note from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at a fixed rate of six and one-half percent (6.50%) per annum (the “Note Rate”).

 

Interest shall be payable monthly in arrears, beginning on March 31, 2011 and continuing to be due and payable on the last day of each month through the Maturity Date.  Beginning on January 31, 2012, principal shall be payable in equal, consecutive monthly payments of Fifty-Two Thousand Eighty-Three and 33/100 Dollars ($52,083.33) each, such payments to continue on the last day of each month thereafter until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note is fully paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all principal, interest and other indebtedness evidenced by this Promissory Note and due hereunder, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on December 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

If a payment of principal or interest due hereunder is not made within ten (10) days of its due date, the Borrower will also pay on demand in addition thereto a late charge equal to five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such payment.

 

If this Promissory Note or any payment hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of this Promissory Note or payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment.

 

Each payment made hereunder shall be applied first to interest then due on the unpaid balance of principal and then to principal.  Overdue payments of principal (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest, shall bear interest, compounded monthly and payable on demand in immediately available funds, at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to five percent (5.00%) above the Note Rate, fully floating; provided that if such interest exceeds the maximum amount permitted to be paid under applicable law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.

If, during the three-year period commencing with the date of this Promissory Note, the Borrower shall pay any amount of principal evidenced by this Promissory Note on a date prior to the due date thereof, whether by reason of voluntary prepayment, acceleration, or otherwise, then the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) as follows:

 

Year One.  If prepayment is made within the one-year period commencing with the date hereof through and including March 9, 2012, a fee in the amount of three percent (3.00%) of the amount of principal prepaid;

 

Year Two.  If prepayment is made within the one-year period commencing with March 9, 2012 through and including March 8, 2013, a fee in the amount of two percent (2.00%) of the amount of principal prepaid; and

 

Year Three.  If prepayment is made within the one-year period commencing with March 9, 2013 through and including March 8, 2014, a fee in the amount of one percent (1.00%) of the amount of principal prepaid.

 

Commencing on March 9, 2014, the Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of this Promissory Note at any time without premium or penalty.

 

The Prepayment Fee shall be paid to the Lender in immediately available funds.  The Prepayment Fee is not intended as a penalty, but is to compensate the Lender for the favorable credit terms and other financial accommodations extended to the Borrower by the Lender.

 

This Promissory Note is issued pursuant to the terms of and is secured as set forth in a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 5, 2009, as amended by a First Amendment to Loan Agreement dated as of even date herewith, both by and between the Borrower and the Lender, all of the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, collectively, the “Agreement”).
