EXHIBIT 10.2
AMENDED AND RESTATED
SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
$2,500,000.00 Dated as of
May 1, 2000
1. INDEBTEDNESS. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, INTERVISUAL BOOKS,
INC., a California corporation ("IBI"), and FFM ACQUISITION CORP., a California
corporation ("FFM") (hereinafter IBI and FFM are collectively referred to as
"Maker"), jointly and severally promise to pay to U.S. BANK NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, FORMERLY KNOWN AS SANTA MONICA BANK (hereinafter referred to as
"Bank"), or order, at 1324 Fifth Street, Santa Monica, California 90406-1075 or
at such other place as may be designated in writing by the holder of this
Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (hereinafter referred to as this
"Note"), the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100
Dollars ($2,500,000.00), or such lesser amount as may be outstanding from time
to time, together with interest accrued thereon. This Note evidences revolving
advances made by Bank to Maker pursuant to Section 2.1 of that certain Loan and
Security Agreement, dated as of May 12, 1999, between Bank and Maker, as amended
from time to time (the "Loan Agreement").
2. INTEREST. Commencing on the date hereof, the unpaid principal balance
of this Note shall bear interest at a rate two and one half (2.50) percentage
points in excess of the prime rate of interest (the highest variable rate of
interest, per annum, published daily as the "prime rate" in the Money Rates
Section of the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal -- hereinafter
referred to as the "Prime Rate"). In the event that such a rate is no longer
published, then the "Prime Rate" shall mean the variable rate of interest, per
annum, most recently announced by Bank at its office in Santa Monica, as its
"prime rate", with the understanding that Bank's "prime rate" is one of its base
rates and serves as a basis upon which effective rates of interest are
calculated for loans making reference thereto and may not be the lowest of
Bank's base rates). In the event that any installment required pursuant to
Section 3 of this Note is not paid when due, or any other default occurs under
the terms of this Note, and without affecting any of Bank's rights and remedies
provided herein, the unpaid principal balance of this Note shall thereafter bear
interest at a rate seven and one half (7.50) percentage points above the Prime
Rate. In the event that the Prime Rate is, from time to time hereafter, changed,
adjustments in the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be made as of 12:01
A.M. on the effective date of the change in the Prime Rate. Interest chargeable
hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day
year for actual days elapsed.
3. PAYMENT. Principal and interest shall be due and payable on the dates
and in the manner as follows:
a. Commencing on the first (1st) day of June, 2000, and
continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Maker
shall make monthly payments of interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance
hereof;
b. On the first (1st) day of May, 2001, Maker shall make payment
in full of the unpaid principal balance hereof remaining unpaid on such date,
together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest hereunder.

4. PREPAYMENT. Maker may prepay all or part of the principal balance due
under this Note, without premium or penalty. With each prepayment Maker shall
also pay the interest accrued on the principal amount being prepaid to the date
of such prepayment. So long as not event of default shall have occurred under
the Loan Agreement, Maker may request advances from Bank following the
prepayment of any amounts hereunder.
5. COMPOUND INTEREST. Interest not paid when due may be added to the
unpaid principal balance hereof and shall thereafter bear interest at the same
rate as principal. All payments hereunder are to be applied first to the payment
of accrued interest and the balance remaining applied to the payment of
principal. All principal and interest due hereunder is payable in lawful money
of the United States of America.
6. LATE CHARGE. If a payment of principal or interest is ten (10) days
or more late, Maker will be charged five percent (5.00%) of the amount of such
payment. The late charge payable by Maker hereunder is in addition to, and not
in lieu of, all other rights and remedies of Bank.
7. WAIVERS. Maker, for itself, its legal representatives, successors and
assigns, expressly waives presentment, protest, demand, notice of dishonor,
notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the
purpose of accelerating maturity, and diligence in collection, and consents that
Bank may extend the time for payment or otherwise modify the terms of payment of
any part or the whole of the debt evidenced hereby. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Maker waives the statute of limitations in any action brought
by Bank in connection with this Note.
8. ACCELERATION. IT IS EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY
EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THEN THE
UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON,
SHALL THEREUPON BE IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER
HEREOF, WITHOUT PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST OR NOTICE OF PROTEST OF ANY KIND,
ALL OF WHICH ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED.
9. ATTORNEYS' FEES AND CHOICE OF LAW. In the event it should become
necessary to employ counsel to collect this Note, Maker agrees to pay the
reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees (including allocated costs for
in-house legal services provided and attorneys' and paralegals' fees in all
bankruptcy proceedings) and costs of the holder hereof, whether or not suit is
brought. This Note and all transactions hereunder and/or evidenced hereby shall
be governed by, construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the
State of California.
10. PARTICIPATION. Bank reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer,
