**Principal        Amount: $1,000,000.00 Initial Rate: 7.00% Date of Note: October 7,        2005**

**PROMISE        TO PAY. Stationers, Inc. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to FIRST SENTRY BANK        (“Lender”), or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the        principal amount of One Million & 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or so much        as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding        principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be calculated from the        date of        each advance until repayment of each advance. **

**PAYMENT.        Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all outstanding principal plus        all        accrued unpaid interest on April 7, 2007. In addition, Borrower will pay        regular        monthly payments of all accrued unpaid interest due as of each payment date,        beginning November 7, 2005, with all subsequent interest payments to be due        on        this same day of each month after that. Unless otherwise agreed or required        by        applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs;        then to any late charges; then to any accrued unpaid interest; and then to        principal. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360        basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a        year of        360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by        the        actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will        pay        Lender at Lender’s address shown above or at such other place as Lender may        designate in writing**

**VARIABLE        INTEREST RATE**
**The        index currently is 7.00% per annum. The interest rate to be applied to the        unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate equal to the index,        resulting in an initial rate of 7.00% per annum.**
