Something I note from this...
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, October 08 2012 @ 04:21 PM EDT

The loan was for $25,000.

This note is part of the text of the agreement:

Employee further agrees to apply FIFTY PERCENT (50%) of any bonus received, net of tax, to payment of principal and any interest due on the note starting with the bonus payment for calendar quarter performance beginning April 1, 1989.

Now, combine this with the information from Seagate's filing, showing his termination date of July 19, 1991. What I come up with is that there were 9 quarterly bonus periods in that time frame; the one mentioned from April '89; there would also have been quarters beginning July and October '89; Jan, Apr, Jul, and Oct '90, and the Jan & Apr '91 quarters all ended prior to July '91.

It appears Mr. Hogan paid not a penny during his employment despite his agreement to do so.

Did he get bonuses, and not pay the loan back? Did he not get bonuses, and felt justified in stiffing Seagate on their loan? Did he make up some new rule, the Law According to V. Hogan, that generated some loophole unknown to anyone else, saying that technically, he wasn't required to pay back under those circumstances?

No answers - just more questions.

So _that's_ why he didn't just sell?

It seems like he'd owe them if he sold the house. Perhaps that's why he went to
bankruptcy rather than trying to sell it?
