with interest at the Interest Rate (as defined below) and all other Obligations
on or before April 20, 2015 (“Maturity Date”) pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as
defined below).

Lender and Borrower have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement
dated as of April 12, 2011 (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Lender has
agreed to make the Loan to Borrower. The Obligations of Borrower are secured by
the Collateral as provided in the Loan Agreement and this Note shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning attributed thereto in the Loan
Agreement. This Note relates to the Equipment described on Schedule A hereto.

Borrower agrees that Lender may insert the date(s) of “Advance” (above) after
Borrower executes this Promissory Note as the date(s) on which the proceeds of
this Note are disbursed by Lender.

As used herein, “Interest Rate” shall mean the percentage per annum equal to
five and 68/100 percent (5.68%); provided, however, that (A) such Interest Rate
is based on an interest rate swap rate for a term approximating the weighted
average life of this Note as quoted in the Bloomberg SWAP Rate report as of the
date of this Note and (B) such Interest Rate may be adjusted by Lender based
upon a corresponding increase in the interest rate swap rate quoted in such
Release as in effect on the date of the Advance. Lender will provide Borrower
with written notice of any such adjustment. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months, and shall accrue
on the outstanding principal amount hereunder from and including the date each
Advance is made to but excluding the date the entire principal amount hereunder
is paid in full.

Lender may charge, and Borrower agrees to pay on the Advance date, a note
processing fee in the amount of $400.00. Lender may deduct the amount of the
note processing fee from the proceeds of this Note or debit any deposit account
of Borrower with Lender to collect the note processing fee.

Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, principal and interest due
hereunder shall be payable as follows:

Principal and interest shall be payable in 48 equal monthly installments, each
on the 20 day of each calendar month, of $5,294.49 commencing on the 20 day of
May, 2011, with the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest, charges, fees or other Advances, if any, due on the
Maturity Date. Interest that accrues from the date of each Advance through but
not including the above payment commencement date shall be payable in arrears on
the first day of the calendar month following the date of Advance.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower may prepay this Note only (1) pursuant to Section 8 of the Loan
following the occurrence of an Event of Loss; or (2) from and after the first
(1st) anniversary of the date the Loan is made hereunder, Borrower may prepay,
in whole but not in part, the principal outstanding hereunder by paying to
Lender such outstanding principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon at the Interest Rate and other Obligations, plus, as liquidated damages
for the cost of making funds available to Borrower hereunder and not as a
penalty, a prepayment premium equal to five and 0/100ths percent (5%) of such
outstanding principal.

The first anniversary date occurs on the date which is twelve (12) months from
the date of the Advance.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies specified in the Loan Agreement.

Borrower waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of demand, notice of
nonpayment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest of this Note, and all
other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default
or enforcement of the payment of this Note.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Ohio. Any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to this Note
may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in Hamilton County, Ohio
and each of the parties hereto (i) accepts the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such
courts and any related appellate court and agrees to be bound by any judgment
rendered by any such court in connection with any such proceeding and (ii)
waives any objection it may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such
proceeding brought in such court or that such court is an inconvenient forum.
EACH OF THE BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS NOTE.

All notices delivered hereunder shall be made and delivered in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Agreement.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence with respect to its
performance under this Note. Any failure of Lender to require strict performance
by Borrower or any waiver by Lender of any provision herein shall not be
construed as a consent or waiver of any provision of this Note. This Note shall
be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto, their
permitted successors and assigns; provided, however that Borrower may not assign
or transfer any of its rights, interest or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of Lender.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall
the interest rate charged on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest
permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law. Any payment of
interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall
be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce,
the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and
payable to Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed
amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable
law.

Any provision of this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Captions are intended for convenience or reference only, and shall not be
construed to define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provisions
hereof.
