PROMISSORY NOTE AND PLEDGE AGREEMENT
$150,000 April 14, 2000
For value received, Wyn Lewis ("Maker") hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the order of Carreker-Antinori, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Lender"
or "Company") the principal sum of $150,000 ("Loan Amount"), together with
interest on the unpaid balance thereof at a rate equal to 8.0%. Accrued and
unpaid interest on this Note shall be paid on May 31, 2001. The unpaid Loan
Amount will be due and payable in full on or before May 31, 2001 ("Maturity
Date"). All payments shall be made at the offices of Carreker-Antinori, Inc.,
4055 Valley View Lane, Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75244, or such other place as
Lender may designate in writing. Maker may prepay the outstanding Loan Amount in
whole or in part at any time without penalty. Maker shall apply any bonus
payments received from the Company, net of applicable taxes, to the Loan Amount
and accrued and unpaid interest on the Note.
The Maker and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this Note
hereby jointly and severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest,
notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration,
diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against any party and any
notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, or partial payments
of this Note, or any delay, indulgence or other act by any holder hereof whether
before or after maturity.
This Note and the rights and duties of the parties hereunder shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Texas. As allowed by law, this Note is
performable by Maker in Dallas County, Texas.
DEFAULT NOTICE AND REMEDIES. If Maker fails to perform any obligation
created by this Note or a default by Maker occurs, Lender may declare this Note
immediately due and payable in whole or in part, may enforce payment thereof and
exercise any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder or as otherwise
provided by law. Maker expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of
non-payment, notice of acceleration or other notice of any kind. Interest shall
accrue on the full amount of any overdue installments at the highest rate
permitted by law. The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time of
part payment on this Note shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any event of
default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any right hereunder or waiver by
Lender of any default by Maker shall operate as a waiver of any other right or
any other default.
If Maker's employment with the Lender terminates for any reason, Lender
may declare this Note immediately due and payable in whole or in part, enforce
payment thereof, and exercise any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder.
