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

 

I, the Notary Public, am certain of the personal identity of the persons
appearing.

W H E R E A S

- the "borrower" has asked the "Bank" for a loan of Euro 2,000,000.00 (two
million and zero cents) intended for the purchase of a firm, offering as
security a mortgage on real estate owned by it, the "borrower", in accordance
with article 38 and following of Legislative Decree no. 385 of 1 September 1993
and presidential decree D.P.R. no. 601 of 29 September 1973 and subsequent
amendments and additions;

- the "Bank" has approved granting of the loan requested for the capital sum of
Euro 2,000,000.00 (two million and zero cents), accepting the security offered;

- there is a "Summary Document" attached to this contract, in pursuance of the
resolution by the C.I.C.R. (interministerial committee for credit and savings)
of 4 March 2003, which, signed by the parties and by me the Notary Public, is
attached hereto as annex "C", and which the "borrower", as represented above,
states it knows well because it previously received a copy from the "Bank".

NOW THEREFORE

the foregoing being considered an integral and essential part of this deed, the
parties agree as follows:

Article 1) The "Bank", as represented above, grants as a landed-property loan,
in accordance with art. 38 and following of Legislative Decree no. 385 of 1
September 1993, to the "borrower" which, as represented above, accepts, the sum
of Euro 2,000,000.00 (two million and zero cents).

The "borrower" has received the sum of Euro 2,000,000.00 (two million and zero
cents) here and now from the "Bank" by crediting to the account current in the
name of the "borrower" and acknowledges receipt if it to the "Bank".

On the amount of money lent, the "borrower" promises to pay interest to the
lending "Bank" at an annual rate that is presently 6.75% (six point seventy-five
percent), fixed by Euribor at three months 365 days average month of September
2007, equal to 4.802% (four point eight hundred and two per cent), rounded up to
the  higher 0.05, increased by 1.90 (one point ninety) percentage points.

The rate will vary quarterly on the first of every month of January. April,
July, and October on the basis of the following parameters: Euribor at 3 (three)
months calculated on 365 days rounded up to the 0.05 (zero point zero five)
above, average month of December for instalments falling due between 1 January
and 31 March, average of March for instalments falling due between 1 April and
30 June, average June for instalments falling due between 1 July and 30
September, average September for instalments falling due between 1 October and
31 December, increased by 1.90 (one point ninety) percentage points.

 
2

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

 

Alterations in the amount of the rate of interest will mean that the repayment
schedule must be adapted to the new rate conditions, on the basis of the
remaining debt and duration, with recalculation of the new fixed repayment rate.

The "borrower", as represented above, also promises to pay the "Bank" on all the
amounts not paid on their due dates, with effect from the date due until that of
actual payment, default interest at the current contract rate, increased by two
points, and in any case in compliance with law 108/96, as well as a penalty of
1.50% (one point fifty per cent) of the amount of the instalment paid in arrears
with a minimum of Euro 15.00 (fifteen and zero cents) and a maximum of Euro
60.00 (sixty and zero cents).

Periodic capitalisation on default interest is not permitted.

The Summary Document, which shows the rates related to the financial charges and
conditions to be borne by the "borrower" as a result of this deed, signed by the
parties and by me the Notary Public, is attached to this deed as annex "C" and
forms an integral and essential part of it

According to the procedures and the notice period foreseen by art. 118 of Leg.
Dec. 385/93 and with the option to withdraw within a period of 60 (sixty) days
from receipt of a proposal for unilateral amendment, the "borrower", as
represented above, specifically grants the "Bank" the power to change, at any
time, any price and financial condition governing this loan, except that the
rate of interest and the rate of default interest may change but such change
must be compliant with the parameters agreed above, complying, in the case of
variation to the disadvantage of the client, with the regulations regarding
transparency.

Within sixty days from receipt of the notification of such changes, the
"borrower" has the right to withdraw from the contract without costs, obtaining,
when settlement is taking place, application of the conditions previously
applied, in accordance with the regulations in force (art. 118 of Leg. Dec. no.
385/1993, as amended by art. 10 of Decree Law no. 223 of 4 July 2006. converted
into Law no. 248 of 4 August 2006.

The "borrower" , as represented above, also acknowledges that financial
operations at a variable rate and those related to indexation mechanisms are
risky since they are subject to fluctuations that cannot be foreseen.

If the indexation parameter agreed on disappears and/or becomes no. longer
relevant for any reason, the "Bank" will find an equivalent parameter, along
lines deducible from the market and from any national or Community measures
issued on the subject.

As a result of the financial conditions agreed on (capital repayment and payment
of interest, preliminary fees, instalment collection fees) and the tax charges
imposed on the borrower (substitute tax equal to Euro 5,000.00), the synthetic
cost index (ISC), which represents the total cost of the loan for the borrower,
expressed in an annual percentage of the loan granted, is 7.06900% (seven point
zero six thousand nine hundred per cent).

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

 

Article 2) the "borrower", as represented above, promises, for itself and for
its successors in title on whatsoever grounds, to repay the amount received to
the lending "Bank" within a period of 8 (eight) years, by paying 96 (ninety-six)
consecutive monthly instalments, starting on 31 December 2007, in an amount of
Euro 27,025.12 (twenty-seven thousand and twenty-five and 12 cents) each, except
for the first instalment, which will be Euro 22,586.76 (twenty-two thousand five
hundred and eighty-six and seventy-six cents), all including capital part and
interest, the latter calculated at the rate fixed in art. 1, that is to say,
6.75% (six point seventy-five per cent) per year, as per the repayment schedule
attached hereto as Annex "E".

Article 3) The "borrower" has the right to pay off the loan in advance by paying
the entire remaining capital debt, the instalments due and any default interest
due, the interest accrued up to the date of settlement, and an all-inclusive
commission of 1% (one per cent), except in the cases foreseen by Law no. 40 of 2
April 2007 converting Law Decree no. 7 of 31 January 2007 into Law, in which the
penalty is not applied, calculated on the capital paid in advance, and applying
the following illustrative formula: capital amount repaid in advance Euro
1,000.00 (one thousand and zero cents) x 1% (one per cent) equal to Euro 10.00
(ten and zero cents).

Subject to the same conditions the borrower may request partial repayment of the
loan for amounts not less than 20% (twenty per cent) of the initial debt.

Following partial repayment, the "borrower" may request reduction of the
duration of the period of repayment of the remaining debt or of the amount of
the remaining instalments.

Article 4) As security for total payment of everything due to the Bank as a
result of the loan granted, and even if the Bank itself grants delays of
payments or extensions at any time and in any form, the "borrower", as
represented above, gives a mortgage on the properties described hereunder, as
well as on all their environs, appurtenances, accessions, new constructions,
extensions, additional floors and on everything that is in any case deemed
liable by law and is added later, without any exclusions or exceptions.

The "borrower", as represented above, guarantees that the assets in question are
its sole property and are free of mortgages, constraints and encumbrances in
favour of third parties or liens, even for taxes, as well as adverse entries.

Any erroneous and incomplete description of the aforementioned assets will not
give the mortgage provider  grounds for challenging the validity of the mortgage
itself

The mortgage is granted for the amount of Euro 4,000,000.00 (four million and
zero cents), which includes and guarantees: the amount of capital lent,
interest, even on pre-repayment, the amount of any unpaid instalments, default
interest in the amount fixed in art. 3 above, any sums due to the "Bank" for
legal costs, litigation and other disposal costs (including those mentioned in
the first paragraph of art. 2855 civil code), as well as out-of-Court costs,
insurance premiums, tax refunds, taxes and duties of any kind owed to the State
or to other Bodies and anything established by contract for any case of
repayment or advance settlement of the loan, voluntarily or due to
non-fulfilment, and anything else owed as a consequence of the law and of the
loan contract

 
4

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

 

The "borrower", as represented above, agrees that the mortgage be registered at
the request of the "Bank", specifically exonerating the competent Real Estate
Registrar from any personal responsibility concerning the formalities to be
observed.

Article 5) The "Bank" shall have the right to cancel the contract immediately
if:

a) it happens at any time, that without the written consent of the
"Bank"  earnings or income in general on the real estate mortgaged that are not
declared in this contract have been transferred, encumbered or collected in
advance, except for normal short-term maturities, or that the legal status of
the real estate has been altered, even by establishment of passive easements or
by changing or increasing existing ones;

b) the "borrower" has not revealed the existence of debts, charges, constraints
and causes of pre-emption related to the real estate mortgaged;

c) it turns out that any time the "borrower" has not insured the mortgaged real
estate or has not kept it insured according to the manner and terms fixed in
art. 6 of the Contract;

d) the mortgage procedures for executing the guarantees given are not carried
out within a period of 90 (ninety) days from the date this deed is made;

The "Bank" shall also have the right to cancel the contract in the event
foreseen in the second paragraph of art. 40 of legislative decree no. 385 of 1
September 1993, and also  if the "borrower" makes payment, of even a single
repayment instalment, 180 (one hundred and eighty) days after the due date of
that instalment.

Likewise the "Bank" may cancel the contract if the "borrower" does not pay the
instalment after 180 (one hundred and eighty) days after it has fallen due.

It is understood that the "borrower" shall forfeit the benefit of the time limit
if the cases foreseen in art. 1186 of the Civil Code occur.

It is agreed that, either in the case of cancellation or forfeiture of the
benefit of the time limit, the "Bank" shall have the right to demand immediate
repayment of the capital owed, the interest, the ancillaries and any costs,
without need for warning or formal notice of default, or any other action, if
necessary taking action for enforcement by means of the executive copy of this
deed.

All the costs incurred by the "Bank" for recovering the credits arising from the
loan granted by this deed, whether in or out of court, repeatable or not, shall
be entirely borne by the "borrower", as well as any other cost that the "Bank",
by its final decision, incurs for protecting and safeguarding its rights.

Article 6) Whenever the "borrower" has settled the fifth part of the original
debt it may request a proportional reduction in the amount of the mortgage.

Article 7) The costs of this deed and all other costs arising from it, including
those related to the executive copy for the "Bank" and the copy that the latter
is to supply to the "borrower", as well as those for taxes and duties, even of a
supplementary nature or of whatsoever kind, shall be borne by the "borrower".

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

 

For the sole purpose of application of the rate of the substitute tax referred
to in articles 15 and following of presidential decree D.P.R. no. 601/73, the
"borrower"  states that the loan referred to in this contract is destined for
the purchase of a firm for which the conditions referred to in note II bis to
art. 1 of the Tariff, part one, annexed to the Consolidation Act of the
regulations concerning the registration tax, approved by presidential decree
D.P.R. no. 131 of 26 April 1986, exist and that therefore that loan is subject
to the substitute tax, applying the rate of 0.25% (zero point twenty-five
percent). In any case, the "borrower", as represented above, promises to refund
to the "Bank" any other amounts due to the Treasury (for example by way of
adjustments,  surtaxes, penalties, costs etc.), authorising the "Bank" to debit
those amounts to its current account.

Article 8) For all the purposes of this contract, and also for notifications of
any  claim and action, as well as warning, even non-judicial, the parties elect
domicile, with regard to the Bank, at its headquarters, as shown in the caption,
and the borrower at the domicile declared in this contract.

Article 9) For any dispute concerning the application and interpretation of this
contract the competent court is the one in the jurisdiction of which the
headquarters of the "Bank" are located, except for any limitations foreseen by
law.

Article 10) The "borrower", as represented above, states that, because it
already received a copy, it is familiar with the "Schedule of agreements and
conditions"  which, signed by the persons appearing and by me the Notary Public,
is attached to this deed as annex "D". It also states that it accepts all the
conditions and, in particular, those contained in the following articles: art. 1
(payment of instalments), art. 2 (probative value of records), art. 3
(obligations related to the real estate mortgaged), art. 5 (reduction of
guarantee), art. 6 (Insurance), art. 8 (right of the Bank to take out insurance
on the real estate), art. 9 (non-fulfilment of insurance requirement), art. 10
(solidarity and indivisibility of the obligations).

The "borrower", as represented above, states that it did not make use, during
the pre-contract phase of the mortgage loan, of the right to receive from the
"Bank" a copy of the text of the contract, with the exception of the summary
document, of which it states that it already received a copy from the "Bank".

SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

REPUBLIC OF ITALY

In the year two thousand and seven on the fourth day of the month of December in
Rome, in my Office

4 December 2007

Before me GIULIO MAJO, Notary Public in Rome, with Office in Via Giambattista
Vico no. 40, enrolled on the List of the United Notarial Districts of Rome,
Velletri and Civitavecchia.

The following person is present:

- Prof. Manlio MAZZIOTTI di CELSO, born in Rome on 15 January 1919, tax code
MZZMNL19A15H501X, resident in Rome, Via Raimondo da Capua no. 5, who is
participating in this deed in the capacity of Sole Director of the Company:

- "ITP Impianti e Tecnologie di Processo S.r.l." based in Rome, Via Federico
Zuccari no. 4, tax code, VAT number and Rome companies register no. 06640441009,
share capital Euro 100,000.00 fully paid up.

That person, of whose personal identity, qualifications and powers I a Notary
Public am certain, asks me to receive this deed, by which he appoints and
nominates as "special proxy" for him and therefore for the abovementioned
Company "ITP Impianti e Tecnologie di Processo S.r.l.", Mrs.:

- Simona Spreca, born in Rome on 28 December 1967, resident there in Via Gargano
34, Tax Code SPR SMN 67T68 H5011J, for her to, in the stead and on behalf of the
abovementioned Company "ITP Impianti e Tecnologie di Processo S.r.l." make a
loan contract with the Banca di Credito Cooperativo Laudense, up to a maximum
amount of Euro 2,000,000.00 (two million/00 Euro) agreeing on the most suitable
terms and conditions and offering as mortgage security the premises located in
Moscazzano, District Vignola no. 2 and registered on folio no. 3 map 468 sub 501
and map 468 sub 502.

The proxy may thus fix the number of years in which the loan must be repaid, by
payment of instalments to be decided at the interest agreed with the Bank at the
time the contract is made and accepting any variations in the rate, including
for default, at the time the contract is made, on the conditions decided by the
abovementioned Bank, as well as according to the laws in force on the subject
and in pursuance of both national and regional laws, as well as any other
general conditions and standards in use at the Bank itself, and referred to in
any schedule known to the party present and which will be attached to the loan
contract.

 
15

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

 

The proxy appointed is therefore authorised to complete the loan operation,
signing in the abovementioned capacity, and thus to grant a mortgage (if
necessary in concurrence with other successors in title) on the premises
referred to in the purchase operation for the amount (even higher than the
capital lent) requested by the Bank, by making the aforementioned contract, in
the form used by the lending institution, in acceptance of and in compliance
with the practices and rules referred to in the laws on credit as well as the
practices and rules of the system and regulations of the Bank itself,
particularly with the specific power to indicate, correct and supplement, where
necessary, the description of the premises offered as surety, and especially to
specify in the deed the boundaries and cadastral particulars, even if different
or supplementary, of the premises offered as security, to approve plans and
splitting, to proceed with any deeds of correction; she may also collect the
amount of the loan or its net earnings, granting a receipt, also consenting for
it to be paid directly to the seller, signing the related authority, return it
in whole or in part, where necessary, to the lending Bank for any deposits to
guarantee costs and  obligations, to give statements and discharges, to elect
domicile for all the purposes of the applicable special law on credit.

To put it briefly, the proxy is entitled to carry out and sign every operation,
even if not specifically mentioned here. Purely by way of example and not of
limitation the proxy may: - agree  on the rate, the effective date, the duration
of the loan and all the repayment procedures; "agree on terms and procedures of
payment"; - elect domicile; - request tax benefits; indicate the amount of any
surety guarantee; - approve all the clauses of the loan contract and of any
annexes to that contract; - if necessary insure and keep insured the assets
being mortgaged against risks of fire, lightening, explosion and other
additional risks for their rebuilding value and with an encumbrance in favour of
the Bank, complying with the agreement made to this end by the Bank with a
leading Insurance Company and to insure the premises mortgaged as long as the
loan remains in force and until every claim of the Bank has been met,
authorising the Bank to pay the insurance premium due in the name and on behalf
of the person appearing; - settle directly the notary's fees related to the loan
contract and the resulting deeds and formalities; - to repay any sums that the
Bank is required to pay for any tax charges imposed as a result of the loan.

To but it briefly, the proxy is empowered to carry out and sign any related or
additional transaction, even if not specified herein.

This authority is free, with the obligation to report, and it is valid and
effective immediately for action by the proxy appointed, with no obligation for
ratification or confirmation in accordance with legal obligations.
