-13-









 





Section 2.2 Procedures for Requesting Advances.



The Borrower shall comply with the following procedures in requesting Revolving Advances:



(a) Type of Advances. Each Advance shall be funded as either a Floating Rate Advance or a
LIBOR Advance, as the Borrower shall specify in a request delivered to the Lender conforming to the
requirements of Section 2.2(b); Floating Rate Advances and LIBOR Advances may be outstanding at the
same time. Each request for a LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $500,000, with a minimum
request of at least $1,000,000. LIBOR Advances shall not be available during Default Periods.



(b) Time for Requests. The Administrative Borrower shall request each Advance not later than
the Cut-off Time on the Business Day on which the Advance is to be made. Each request that
conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, shall be in
writing or by telephone or telecopy transmission, and shall be confirmed in writing by the
Administrative Borrower if so requested by the Lender, by (i) an Officer of the Administrative
Borrower; or (ii) a Person designated as the Administrative Borrower’s agent by an Officer of the
Administrative Borrower in a writing delivered to the Lender; or (iii) a Person whom the Lender
reasonably believes to be an Officer of the Administrative Borrower or such a designated agent,
which confirmation shall specify whether the Advance shall be a Floating Rate Advance or a LIBOR
Advance and, with respect to any LIBOR Advance, shall specify the principal amount of the LIBOR
Advance and the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall repay all Advances even if
the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the Person requesting an Advance was not
in fact authorized to do so. Any request for an Advance, whether written or telephonic, shall be
deemed to be a representation by the Administrative Borrower that the conditions set forth in
Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the time of the request.



(c) Disbursement. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the
Lender shall disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance by crediting the same to the Borrower’s
demand deposit account maintained with Wells Fargo Bank unless the Lender and the Administrative
Borrower shall agree in writing to another manner of disbursement.

Section 2.3 LIBOR Advances.


(a) Converting Floating Rate Advances to LIBOR Advances; Procedures. So long as no Default
Period is in effect, the Administrative Borrower may convert all or any part of the principal
amount of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance into a LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender
convert same no later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day on which the Administrative
Borrower wishes the conversion to become effective. Each request
that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender and
shall be confirmed in writing by the Administrative Borrower if the Lender so requests by any
Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(b) or Person reasonably believed by the
Lender to be such an Officer or designated agent, which request shall specify the Business Day on
which the conversion is to occur, the total amount of the Floating Rate Advance to be converted,
and the applicable Interest Period. Each such conversion shall occur on a Business Day, and the
aggregate amount of Floating Rate Advances converted to LIBOR Advances shall be in multiples of
$500,000, with a minimum conversion amount of at least $1,000,000.



(b) Procedures at End of an Interest Period. Unless the Administrative Borrower requests a
new LIBOR Advance in accordance with the procedures set forth below, or prepays the principal of an
outstanding LIBOR Advance at the expiration of an Interest Period, the Lender shall automatically
and without request of the Administrative Borrower convert each LIBOR Advance to a Floating Rate
Advance on the last day of the relevant Interest Period. So long as no Default exists, the
Administrative Borrower may cause all or any part of any maturing LIBOR Advance to be renewed as a
new LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender continue the maturing Advance as a LIBOR Advance no
later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day constituting the first day of the new Interest
Period. Each such request shall be confirmed in writing by the Administrative Borrower upon the
Lender’s request by any Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(b), which
confirmation shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, and which shall specify the amount of
the expiring LIBOR Advance to be continued and the applicable Interest Period. Each new Interest
Period shall begin on a Business Day and the amount of each LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of
$500,000, with a minimum Advance of at least $1,000,000.



(c) Setting and Notice of Rates. The Lender shall, with respect to any request for a LIBOR
Advance under Section 2.2 or a conversion or renewal of a LIBOR Advance under this Section 2.3,
provide the Borrower with a LIBOR quote for each Interest Period identified by the Borrower on the
Business Day on which the request was made, if the request is received by the Lender prior to the
Cut-off Time, or for requests received by the Lender after the Cut-off Time, on the next Business
Day or on the Business Day on which the Borrower has requested that the LIBOR Advance be made
effective. If the Borrower does not immediately accept a LIBOR quote, the quoted rate shall expire
and any subsequent request from Borrower for a LIBOR quote shall be subject to redetermination by
the Lender of the applicable LIBOR for the LIBOR Advance.



(d) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. The Borrower shall pay the Lender with respect to any
Advance, upon demand and in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and
all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and
franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any
manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve
Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar
requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from
compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the
extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing
are attributable to any LIBOR option available to the
Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by the Lender among its operations shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

Section 2.4 Letters of Credit.



(a) The Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue, at any
time after the Funding Date and prior to the Termination Date, one or more irrevocable standby or
documentary letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the Borrower’s account. The Lender
will not issue any Letter of Credit if the face amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued would
exceed the lesser of:



(i) $1,500,000 less the L/C Amount, or



(ii) Availability.



Each Letter of Credit, if any, shall be issued pursuant to a separate L/C Application made by the
Administrative Borrower to the Lender, which must be completed in a manner satisfactory to the
Lender. The terms and conditions set forth in each such L/C Application shall supplement the terms
and conditions of the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement or the Commercial Letter of Credit
Agreement, as applicable.



(b) No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date later than one (1) year from the
date of issuance or the Maturity Date in effect as of the date of issuance, whichever is earlier.



(c) Any request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by
the Borrower that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied as of the date of the
request.



(d) If a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit when the Borrower is unable, because a
Default Period exists or for any other reason, to obtain a Revolving Advance to pay the Obligation
of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand and in immediately available
funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date
of the draft until payment in full at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s inability
to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole
discretion, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of
Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.



Section 2.5 Special Account. 



If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason while any Letter of Credit is outstanding,
the Borrower shall thereupon pay the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the
Special Account an amount equal to the L/C Amount plus any anticipated fees and costs. If the
Borrower fails to promptly make any such payment in the amount required hereunder, then the Lender
may make a Revolving Advance against the Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to fulfill this
obligation and deposit the proceeds to the Special Account. The Special Account shall be an
interest bearing account either maintained with the Lender or with a financial institution
acceptable to the Lender. Any interest earned on amounts deposited in the
Special Account shall be credited to the Special Account. The Lender may apply amounts on
deposit in the Special Account at any time or from time to time to the Indebtedness in the Lender’s
sole discretion. The Borrower may not withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Special Account as
long as the Lender maintains a security interest therein. The Lender agrees to transfer any
balance in the Special Account to the Borrower when the Lender is required to release its security
interest in the Special Account under applicable law.

Section 2.6 Interest; Minimum Interest Charge; Default Interest Rate; Application of
Payments; Participations; Usury; Swap Agreements.



(a) Interest. Except as provided in Section 2.3, Section 2.6(d) and Section 2.6(g), the
principal amount of each Advance shall bear interest as a Floating Rate Advance.



(b) Intentionally Omitted.



(c) Minimum Interest Charge. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $15,000 per calendar
quarter (the “Minimum Interest Charge”) during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrower shall
pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise
calculated under Section 2.6(a) on the first day of each quarter and on the Termination Date. When
calculating this deficiency, the Default Rate, if applicable, shall be disregarded, and any
interest that accrues on a payment following its receipt on those days specified in Section 2.6(e)
shall be included in determining the total amount of interest otherwise calculated under Section
2.6(a).



(d) Default Interest Rate. At any time during any Default Period or following the Termination
Date, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, the
principal of the Revolving Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate or such lesser rate as the
Lender may determine, effective as of the first day of the month in which any Default Period begins
through the last day of such Default Period, or any shorter time period that the Lender may
determine. The decision of the Lender to impose a rate that is less than the Default Rate or to
not impose the Default Rate for the entire duration of the Default Period shall be made by the
Lender in its sole discretion and shall not be a waiver of any of its other rights and remedies,
including its right to retroactively impose the full Default Rate for the entirety of any such
Default Period or following the Termination Date.



(e) Application of Payments. Payments shall be applied to the Indebtedness on the Business
Day of receipt by the Lender in the Lender’s general account, but the amount of principal paid
shall continue to accrue interest at the interest rate applicable under the terms of this Agreement
from the calendar day the Lender receives the payment, and continuing through the end of the second
Business Day following receipt of the payment, provided however, that so long as the Borrower
utilizes the Lender’s treasury services, interest shall be calculated from the calendar day the
Lender receives the payment through the end of the first Business Day following receipt of the
payment.


 


-17-









 





(f) Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Advances or the
Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall be obligated to the Lender to pay the full
amount of all interest calculated under this Section 2.6, along with all other fees, charges
and other amounts due under this Agreement, regardless if such Person elects to accept interest
with respect to its participation at a lower rate than that calculated under this Section 2.6, or
otherwise elects to accept less than its prorata share of such fees, charges and other amounts due
under this Agreement.



(g) Usury. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate
greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between
the Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall
the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges
exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature
of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in
excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held
to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of
interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by
any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrower and the Lender. This
provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of the Loan
Documents and all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, or their successors and assigns.



(h) Swap Agreements. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and continues, the Borrower
may elect to fix the interest rate on up to seventy percent (70%) of the principal amount of the
outstanding Revolving Advances by entering into Swap Agreements with the Lender, subject to the
implementation of a Swap Reserve. Alternatively, the Borrower may elect to cap the rate of
interest by purchasing interest rate protection from the Lender.



Section 2.7 Fees.



(a) Origination Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Lender a fully earned and non-refundable
origination fee of $50,000, due and payable upon the execution of this Agreement.

collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Lender of any Collateral
or the Borrower’s operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender
as its collateral exam fees (which fees are currently $900 per day per collateral examiner),
together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such
collateral examination or inspection.


 


-18-









 





(c) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee with respect to each
Letter of Credit that has been issued, if any, which fee shall be calculated on a per diem basis at
an annual rate equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate amount that may then be drawn under the
Letter of Credit, assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing (the “Aggregate Face
Amount”), from and including the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit until the date that the
Letter of Credit terminates or is returned to the Lender, which fee shall be due
and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the date that the Letter
of Credit terminates or is returned to the Lender; provided, however, effective as
of the first day of the month in which any Default Period begins through the last day of such
Default Period, or any shorter time period that the Lender may determine, in the Lender’s sole
discretion and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, such fee shall increase by
three percent (3.0%) of the Aggregate Face Amount. The foregoing fee shall be in addition to any
and all other fees, commissions and charges imposed by Lender with respect to or in connection with
such Letter of Credit.



(d) Letter of Credit Administrative Fees. The Borrower shall pay all administrative fees
charged by Lender in connection with the honoring of drafts under any Letter of Credit, amendments
thereto, transfers thereof and all other activity with respect to the Letters of Credit at the then
— current rates published by Lender for such services rendered on behalf of customers of Lender
generally.



(e) Termination and Line Reduction Fees. If (i) the Lender terminates the Credit Facility
during a Default Period, or if (ii) the Borrower terminates or reduces the Credit Facility on a
date prior to the Maturity Date, then the Borrower shall pay the Lender as liquidated damages and
not as a penalty a termination fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Maximum Line Amount
(or the reduction of the Maximum Line Amount, as the case may be) calculated as follows: (A) two
percent (2%) if the termination or reduction occurs on or before the first anniversary of the
Funding Date; or (B) one percent (1%) if the termination or reduction occurs after the first
anniversary of the Funding Date.



(f) Contracted Funds Breakage Fees. The Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the
Revolving Note at any time in any amount, whether voluntarily or by acceleration,
provided, however, that if the principal amount of any Revolving Note LIBOR Advance
is prepaid, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender immediately upon demand a contracted funds
breakage fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month
of prepayment through the month in which such Interest Period matures, calculated as follows for
each such month:




	 	(i)	 	Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month
on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained
outstanding until the last day of the applicable Interest Period.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest
which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining
term of such Interest Period at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans
made for such term in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that
difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.




 


-19-









 










The Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of the Revolving Note may result in the Lender
incurring additional costs, expenses or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full
extent of such costs, expenses or liabilities. The Borrower therefore agrees to pay the above-
described contracted funds breakage fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable
estimate of the contracted funds breakage costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Lender.



(g) Collateral Monitoring Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a collateral monitoring
fee in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month, which shall be fully earned as of the
first date of each month of this Agreement, and shall be payable on the last day of each month in
arrears. The Collateral Monitoring Fee shall include the establishment and continuing monitoring
system service of Collateral Services, Inc. (the “CSI System”) to calculate Borrower’s ineligible
Accounts and track aging trends of Borrower’s Accounts.



(h) Overadvance Fees. The Borrower shall pay an Overadvance fee in the amount of $500.00 for
each day or portion thereof during which an Overadvance exists, regardless of how the Overadvance
arises or whether or not the Overadvance has been agreed to in advance by the Lender. The
acceptance of payment of an Overadvance fee by the Lender shall not be deemed to constitute either
consent to the Overadvance or a waiver of the resulting Event of Default, unless the Lender
specifically consents to the Overadvance in writing and waives the Event of Default on whatever
conditions the Lender deems appropriate.



(i) Unused Line Fee. For the purposes of this Section 2.7(i), “Unused Amount” means the
Maximum Line Amount reduced by the sum of (i) outstanding Revolving Advances, plus (ii) the L/C
Amount. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused line fee at the rate of three-eighths
of one percent (.375%) per annum on the average daily Unused Amount from closing to and including
the Termination Date, due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the month and on the
Termination Date calculated upon the amount, if any, by which the Maximum Line Amount exceeds the
average outstanding daily principal balance during the preceding month of the Indebtedness.



(j) Other Fees and Charges. The Lender may from time to time impose additional fees and
charges as consideration for Advances made in excess of Availability or for other events that
constitute an Event of Default or a Default hereunder, including fees and charges for the
administration of Collateral by the Lender, and fees and charges for the late delivery of reports,
which may be assessed in the Lender’s sole discretion on either an hourly, periodic, or flat fee
basis, and in lieu of or in addition to imposing interest at the Default Rate.



(k) Waiver of Termination and Prepayment Fees. The Borrower will be excused from the payment
of the applicable termination and prepayment fees otherwise due under this Agreement, and in lieu
thereof will pay to Lender a flat fee of $25,000 if such termination or prepayment is made because
the Lender does not approve a proposed acquisition pursuant to Section 6.19 and as a result of such
refusal the Borrower refinances the Indebtedness in full with another lender.

Section 2.8 Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Business Days; Computation of
Interest and Fees.



(a) Time For Interest Payments. Accrued and unpaid interest accruing on Floating Rate
Advances shall be due and payable on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date (each
an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next
succeeding Business Day. Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has
been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of advance to the Interest Payment Date.
If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest accruing on each LIBOR Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of
the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, for Interest Periods that are
longer than one month, interest shall nevertheless be due and payable monthly on the last day of
each month, and on the last day of the Interest Period.



(b) Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated
to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.



(c) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance
of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.




Section 2.9 Lockbox and Collateral Account; Sweep of Funds. 



(a) Lockbox and Collateral Account.




(i) The Borrower shall instruct all account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to the
Lockbox. If, notwithstanding such instructions, the Borrower receives any payments on
Accounts, the Borrower shall deposit such payments into the Collateral Account. The
Borrower shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral (excluding New Equity)
regardless of source or nature directly into the Collateral Account. Until so deposited,
the Borrower shall hold all such payments and cash proceeds in trust for and as the property
of the Lender and shall not commingle such property with any of its other funds or property.
All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall
not constitute payment of the Indebtedness.




(ii) All items deposited in the Collateral Account shall be subject to final payment.
If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrower will immediately pay the Lender, or,
for items deposited in the Collateral Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount
of that item, or such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the
Borrower’s commercial account or other account. The Borrower shall be liable as an endorser
on all items deposited in the Collateral Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by the
Borrower.



(b) Sweep of Funds. The Lender shall from time to time, in accordance with the Wholesale
Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred
to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Indebtedness. Amounts deposited in the
Collateral Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, except after payment in full
and discharge of all Indebtedness.

Section 2.10 Voluntary Prepayment; Reduction of the Maximum Line Amount; Termination of
the Credit Facility by the Borrower. 



Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may prepay the Advances in whole at any time
or from time to time in part. The Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum
Line Amount at any time if it (i) gives the Lender at least 60 days advance written notice prior to
the proposed Termination Date, and (ii) pays the Lender applicable termination, prepayment and
contracted funds breakage fees, and Maximum Line Amount reduction fees in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Any reduction in the Maximum Line Amount shall be in multiples of $100,000, and
with a minimum reduction of at least $500,000. If the Borrower terminates the Credit Facility or
reduces the Maximum Line Amount to zero, all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable, and
if the Borrower gives the Lender less than the required 60 days advance written notice, then the
interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for
the period of time commencing 60 days prior to the proposed Termination Date through the date that
the Lender actually receives such written notice. If the Borrower does not wish the Lender to
consider renewal of the Credit Facility on the next Maturity Date, then the Borrower shall give the
Lender at least 60 days written notice prior to the Maturity Date that it will not be requesting
renewal. If the Borrower fails to give the Lender such timely notice, then the interest rate
applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the period
of time commencing 60 days prior to the Maturity Date through the date that the Lender actually
receives such written notice.



Section 2.11 Automatic Renewal. 



Unless terminated by the Lender at any time or by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, the
Credit Facility shall remain in effect until the Original Maturity Date and, thereafter, shall
automatically renew for successive one year periods (the Original Maturity Date and each
anniversary date thereof to which the Credit Facility has been automatically renewed, is herein
referred to as a “Maturity Date”).



Section 2.12 Mandatory Prepayment.



Without notice or demand, if the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving
Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall (i)
first, immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess;
and (ii) if prepayment in full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess,
pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal
to the remaining excess. Any voluntary or mandatory prepayment received by the Lender may be
applied to the Indebtedness, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender in its sole discretion
may determine from time to time.



Section 2.13 Revolving Advances to Pay Indebtedness. 



Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.1, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or
from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the
Indebtedness from time to time due and payable.


 


-22-









 





Section 2.14 Use of Proceeds.



The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances and each Letter of Credit for ordinary working
capital purposes and to repay amounts owed to the officers of the Borrower plus interest thereon.



Section 2.15 Liability Records.



The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, records as to the Indebtedness.
All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrower establishes the
contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrower will admit and certify in writing the exact
principal balance of the Indebtedness that the Borrower then asserts to be outstanding. Any
billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the
Borrower unless the Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days
after receipt.



ARTICLE III




SECURITY INTEREST; OCCUPANCY; SETOFF




Section 3.1 Grant of Security Interest. 



The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Lender, a lien and security interest
(collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the Collateral, as security for the
payment and performance of (a) all present and future Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender;
(b) all obligations of the Borrower and rights of the Lender under this Agreement; and (c) all
present and future obligations of the Borrower to the Lender of other kinds. Upon request by the
Lender, the Borrower will grant to the Lender a security interest in all commercial tort claims
that the Borrower may have against any Person.



Section 3.2 Notification of Account Debtors and Other Obligors.



The Lender may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, notify any account debtor or
other Person obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or
transferred to the Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. The Borrower will
join in giving such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time after the Borrower or the Lender
gives such notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the
Lender’s name or in the Borrower’s name, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property
at any time payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant
any extension to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend
or change the obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other
obligor. The Lender may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, in the Lender’s name or in
the Borrower’s name, as the Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United States Postal
Service to change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to any address designated by the
Lender, otherwise intercept the Borrower’s mail, and receive, open and
dispose of the Borrower’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and
holding all other mail for the Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to the Borrower’s last
known address.

Section 3.3 Assignment of Insurance.



As additional security for the payment and performance of the Indebtedness, the Borrower
hereby assigns to the Lender any and all monies (including proceeds of insurance and refunds of
unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Borrower with respect
to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any time hereafter covering the Collateral or any
evidence thereof or any business records or valuable papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrower
hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay all such monies directly to the Lender, subject
to the rights of holders of Permitted Liens senior to the rights of the Lender. At any time,
whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or
in the Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks
and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or
release any claim against the issuer of any such policy. Any monies received as payment for any
loss under any insurance policy mentioned above (other than liability insurance policies) or as
payment of any award or compensation for condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be paid
over to the Lender to be applied, at the option of the Lender, either to the prepayment of the
Indebtedness or shall be disbursed to the Borrower under staged payment terms reasonably
satisfactory to the Lender for application to the cost of repairs, replacements, or restorations.
Any such repairs, replacements, or restorations shall be effected with reasonable promptness and
shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the items or property destroyed prior to such
damage or destruction.



Section 3.4 Occupancy.



(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably grants to the Lender the right to take exclusive
possession of the Premises at any time during a Default Period without notice or consent.



(b) The Lender may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store,
liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes
that the Lender may in good faith deem to be related or incidental purposes.



(c) The Lender’s right to hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i)
payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness and termination of the Credit Facility, and (ii)
final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such goods to
purchasers.



(d) The Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for
the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided, however, that if
the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or
use of any of the Premises, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender promptly for the full amount
thereof. In addition, the Borrower will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties,
imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the
Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of
this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5 License.



Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document, the Borrower hereby grants to
the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all
Intellectual Property Rights of the Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of
any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such materials become saleable
Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by the Borrower for
its own manufacturing and subject to the Borrower’s reasonable exercise of quality control; and (b)
selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period.

The Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from time to time, such financing statements
against collateral described as “all personal property except equipment” or “all assets except
equipment” or describing specific items of collateral including commercial tort claims as the
Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest. All financing statements filed
before the date hereof to perfect the Security Interest were authorized by the Borrower and are
hereby re-authorized. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any
financing statements signed by the Borrower is sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed
as a financing statement in any state to perfect the security interests granted hereby. For this
purpose, the Borrower represents and warrants that the following information is true and correct:

without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to the Borrower by the Lender, whether or not
due, against any Obligation, whether or not due. In addition, each other Person holding a

as provided by law, the Borrower is entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any
deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by
law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises reasonable care in physically keeping such
Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third
Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third Person, and the
Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. The Lender shall
not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on
the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the
Collateral in any particular order of application. The Lender has no obligation to clean-up or
otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Borrower waives any right it may have to require

the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and
financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments); and the Borrower shall thereupon pay to
the Lender on demand the amount of all monies expended and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Lender in connection with or as a
result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by the
Lender, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the Default Rate. To
facilitate the Lender’s performance or observance of such covenants of the Borrower, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender, or the Lender’s delegate, acting alone, as the Borrower’s
attorney in fact (which appointment is coupled with an interest) with the right (but not the duty)
from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and
on behalf of the Borrower any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements,
financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be
obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by the Borrower hereunder.

Section 7.2 Rights and Remedies.



During any Default Period, the Lender may exercise any or all of the following rights and
remedies:



(a) The Lender may, by written notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitment to be
terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate;



(b) The Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Indebtedness to be forthwith due
and payable, whereupon all Indebtedness shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
presentment, notice of dishonor, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower
hereby expressly waives;



(c) The Lender may, without notice to the Borrower and without further action, apply any and
all money owing by the Lender to the Borrower to the payment of the Indebtedness;



(d) The Lender may exercise and enforce any and all rights and remedies available upon default
to a secured party under the UCC, including the right to take possession of Collateral, or any
evidence thereof, proceeding without judicial process or by judicial process (without a prior
hearing or notice thereof, which the Borrower hereby expressly waives) and the right to sell, lease
or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral (with or without giving any warranties as to
the Collateral, title to the Collateral or similar warranties), and, in connection therewith, the
Borrower will on demand assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at a place to
be designated by the Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties;



(e) The Lender may make demand upon the Borrower and, forthwith upon such demand, the Borrower
will pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account pursuant
to Section 2.5 an amount equal to the aggregate maximum amount available to be drawn under all
Letters of Credit then outstanding, assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing thereunder;



(f) The Lender may exercise and enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents;


 


-46-









 





(g) The Lender may without regard to any waste, adequacy of the security or solvency of the
Borrower, apply for the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral, to which appointment the
Borrower hereby consents, whether or not foreclosure proceedings have been commenced under the
Security Documents and whether or not a foreclosure sale has occurred; and




(h) The Lender may exercise any other rights and remedies available to it by law or agreement.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section
7.1(e) or (f) other than Default pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or (c), the Indebtedness shall be
immediately due and payable automatically without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any
kind; (y) the Borrower shall be entitled to Default pursuant Section 7.1(b) (not more than twice in
any fiscal year) under Sections 6.1(a), (b) or (d) and a five (5) day period to cure such default
from the date of the Default; and (z) the Borrower shall be entitled to Default under Section
7.1(c) (not more than twice in any fiscal year) and a two (2) day period to cure such Default from
the date of the Default. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral on credit, the Indebtedness
will be reduced only to the extent of payments actually received. If the purchaser fails to pay
for the Collateral, the Lender may resell the Collateral and shall apply any proceeds actually
received to the Indebtedness.




Section 7.3 Certain Notices.



If notice to the Borrower of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended
action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially
reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 8.3) at least ten calendar days before the
date of intended disposition or other action.



ARTICLE VIII




MISCELLANEOUS





Section 8.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Compliance with Laws.



No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Lender may comply with any
applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and
such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any
sale of the Collateral.




Section 8.2 Amendments, Etc.



No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom or any release of a Security Interest shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the
Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.


 


-47-









 





Section 8.3 Notices; Communication of Confidential Information; Requests for Accounting.




Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other
communications provided for under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be
(a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by overnight courier
of national reputation, (d) transmitted by telecopy, or (e) sent as electronic mail, in each case
delivered or sent to the party to whom notice is being given to the business address, telecopier
number, or e mail address set forth below next to its signature or, as to each party, at such other
business address, telecopier number, or e mail address as it may hereafter designate in writing to
the other party pursuant to the terms of this Section; provided, however that all notices by Lender
to the Borrower shall be given to the Administrative Borrower. All such notices, requests, demands
and other communications shall be deemed to be an authenticated record communicated or given on
(a) the date received if personally delivered, (b) when deposited in the mail if delivered by mail,
(c) the date delivered to the courier if delivered by overnight courier, or (d) the date of
transmission if sent by telecopy or by e mail, except that notices or requests delivered to the
Lender pursuant to any of the provisions of Article II shall not be effective until received by the
Lender. All notices, financial information, or other business records sent by either party to this
Agreement may be transmitted, sent, or otherwise communicated via such medium as the sending party
may deem appropriate and commercially reasonable; provided, however, that the risk that the
confidentiality or privacy of such notices, financial information, or other business records sent
by either party may be compromised shall be borne exclusively by the Borrower. All requests for an
accounting under Section 9-210 of the UCC (i) shall be made in a writing signed by a Person
authorized under Section 2.2(b), (ii) shall be personally delivered, sent by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier of national reputation,
(iii) shall be deemed to be sent when received by the Lender and (iv) shall otherwise comply with
the requirements of Section 9-210. The Borrower requests that the Lender respond to all such
requests which on their face appear to come from an authorized individual and releases the Lender
from any liability for so responding. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the maximum amount allowed
by law for responding to such requests.




Section 8.4 Further Documents.



The Borrower will from time to time execute, deliver, endorse and authorize the filing of any
and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing
statements, control agreements (excluding the New Equity Account) and other agreements and writings
that the Lender may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security
Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that
the Borrower executes, delivers, endorses or authorizes the filing of any such item shall not
affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security
Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a
similar context or on a prior occasion).


 


-48-









 






Section 8.5 Costs and Expenses.



The Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
incurred by the Lender in connection with the Indebtedness, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any
Letter of Credit and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the
transactions contemplated hereby, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance,
collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness and all such documents and agreements and the
creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security
Interest, provided that the Borrower shall not be responsible for any fees, expenses or costs
incurred by the Lender in connection with the sale or transfer of the Indebtedness or any
participation interest therein.




Section 8.6 Indemnity.



In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.5, the Borrower shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its participants, parent corporations, subsidiary
corporations, affiliated corporations, successor corporations, and all present and future officers,
directors, employees, attorneys and agents of the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against
any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):




(i) Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any
governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the
making of the Advances or arising from the transactions contemplated herein (excluding taxes
upon the net income of the Lender arising from the transactions contemplated herein);




(ii) Any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any
representation or warranty contained in Section 5.14 proves to be incorrect in any respect
or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 6.12(b) ; and




(iii) Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits,
claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative,
administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee,
in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances
and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify the Lender for
liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses arising out
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. If any investigative, judicial or
administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon
such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrower, or counsel designated by the Borrower and satisfactory to
the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the
manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrower’s sole costs and expense. Each
Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be
unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall nevertheless make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities
which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrower’s obligation under this Section 8.6 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrower’s other obligations
hereunder for the period of the relevant Statute of Limitation.




 


-49-









 






Section 8.7 Participants.



The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender
shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its
participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or
delegated to any of the Lender’s participants, successors or assigns.




Section 8.8 Execution in Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.



This Agreement and other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery
of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart
of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.




Section 8.9 Retention of Borrower’s Records.



The Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents,
schedules, invoices, agings, or other papers delivered to the Lender by the Borrower or in
connection with the Loan Documents for more than 30 days after receipt by the Lender. If there is
a special need to retain specific records, the Borrower must inform the Lender of its need to
retain those records with particularity, which must be delivered in accordance with the notice
provisions of Section 8.3 within 30 days of the Lender taking control of same.




Section 8.10 Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Sharing Information.



The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the
Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the
right to assign its rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior written
consent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower waives and will not assert against any
assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which the Borrower could assert against the Lender. This
Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower. This
Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the
parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the
subject matter hereof. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement contradicts other
provisions of the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall control.
Without limiting the Lender’s right to share information regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates
with the Lender’s participants, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender and Wells Fargo
Bank may share any and all information they may have in their possession regarding the Borrower and
its Affiliates, and the Borrower waives any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to
such sharing of information, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender will
use reasonable efforts to keep confidential all confidential information concerning the Borrower
and its affiliates.

Section 8.11 Severability of Provisions.



Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof.




Section 8.12 Headings.



Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience
of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.




Section 8.13 Designation of Administrative Borrower as Agent of Borrowers. 



Each Borrower hereby designates and appoints Pure Earth, Inc. as the Administrative Borrower
and each officer thereof as the agent and attorney-in-fact of such Borrower for all purposes of
this Agreement, including for the purpose of executing and delivering all documents, instruments
and certificates contemplated herein and modifications thereof, giving and receiving notices and
instructions, and making requests, hereunder and otherwise communicating with the Lender. The
Lender may assume that such appointment and designation has not been revoked unless and until
written notice of revocation is actually received by the Lender. Accordingly, the Lender may give
notices and instruction to any Borrower through the Administrative Borrower and may accept and act
upon any notices, instructions and requests given by the Administrative Borrower, or any officer
thereof, on behalf of any Borrower, and any such notice, request and instructions shall be binding
upon such Borrower until the Lender actually receive notice from such Borrower of its revocation of
such appointment and designation of the Administrative Borrower as such Borrower’s agent and
attorney-in-fact. Notwithstanding such appointment and designation, the Lender may also deal
directly with, and give and receive notices, instructions and requests to and from, any Borrower.
If conflicting instructions are received from a Borrower and from the Administrative Borrower, or
any officer thereof, acting as agent or attorney-in-fact for such Borrower, the notice, instruction
or request of Administrative Borrower shall prevail, unless the Lender have, prior to their receipt
of such notice, instruction or request from Administrative Borrower, acted on a contrary notice,
instruction or request from the Borrower, or any officer thereof, acting as agent and/or
attorney-in-fact for such Borrower. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other
action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the
Borrowers, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Administrative Borrower,
whether or not any Borrower joins therein.


 


-51-









 





Section 8.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.



The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws
(other than conflict laws) of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The parties hereto hereby
(i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in connection with any controversy related to this Agreement;
(ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient; (iii) agree that any
litigation initiated by the Lender or the Borrower in connection with this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents may be venued in either the state or federal courts having jurisdiction over Bucks
County, Pennsylvania; and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any
other manner provided by law.



THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY OR
IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.



IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their
respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Exhibit A to Credit and Security Agreement




REVOLVING NOTE




			
	 	 	 
	$5,000,000
	 	October 24, 2006






For value received, the undersigned, PURE EARTH, INC., a Delaware corporation and its
subsidiaries, SOUTH JERSEY DEVELOPMENT, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation, AMERICAN TRANSPORTATION &
DISPOSAL SYSTEMS, LTD., a Delaware corporation, and JUDA CONSTRUCTION, LTD., a New York
corporation, (collectively, the “Borrower”), hereby promise, jointly and severally, to pay to the
order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Lender”), acting through its Wells Fargo
Business Credit operating division, on the Termination Date referenced in the Credit and Security
Agreement dated the same date as this Revolving Note that was entered into by the Lender and the
Borrower (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), at Lender’s office located at
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or at any other place designated at any time by the holder hereof, in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum
of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving
Advances made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, together with interest on
the principal amount hereunder remaining unpaid from time to time, computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day year, from the date hereof until this Revolving Note is
fully paid at the rate from time to time in effect under the Credit Agreement.



This Revolving Note is the Revolving Note referenced in the Credit Agreement, and is subject
