credit and not yet reimbursed.





2.2. Availability Period. The Revolving Facility is available during the period (the
“Availability Period”) between the date of this Agreement and the earliest of (a) February

Facility.






	 	(ii)	 	If (A) there is an Event of Default under this Agreement or (B) any letter of
credit is outstanding on the Revolving Facility Expiration Date, the Borrower shall

3. FEES AND EXPENSES




	3.1.	 	Fees.






	(a)	 	Loan Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a loan fee to the Bank in the amount of
Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($37,500.00). This fee is due on the date of this
Agreement.






	(b)	 	Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay a fee to the Bank on any
difference between the Revolving Facility Commitment and the amount of credit under the
Revolving Facility (including the amount of any letters of credit outstanding, including
amounts drawn on any letters of credit and not yet reimbursed) the Borrower actually uses,
determined by the daily amount of credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility during the
specified period. The fee will be calculated at 0.40% per year. This fee is due on March 31,
2012, and on the last day of each following month until the expiration of the Availability
Period.






	(c)	 	Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in
an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days
late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s
rights with respect to the default.





3.2. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to repay the Bank, within ten (10) days after demand,
for expenses that include, but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees and
documentation fees.




	3.3.	 	Reimbursement Costs.






	(a)	 	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any reasonable and documented expenses the Bank
incurs in the due diligence, preparation, negotiation, closing and administration of this
Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses include, but
are not limited to, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees.






	(b)	 	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for the cost of periodic field examinations of the
books, records and Collateral of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and appraisals of the
Collateral, at such intervals as the Bank may reasonably require. The actions described in
this paragraph may be performed by employees of the Bank or by independent appraisers.





4. DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS




	4.1.	 	Disbursements and Payments.






	(a)	 	Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds,
without setoff or counterclaim. Payments will be made by debit to the Designated Account, if
direct debit is provided for in this Agreement or is otherwise authorized by the Borrower.
For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on
the Borrower’s statement, or by such other method as may be permitted by the Bank.






	(b)	 	The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments given by any one of the
individuals authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower or any other
individual designated in writing by any one of such authorized signers of the Borrower (each
an “Authorized Individual”).






	(c)	 	For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to the Designated Account, the Borrower
will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the Designated Account to cover each
debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the Designated Account on the
date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the
debit.






	(d)	 	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records
kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign
one or more promissory notes.






	(e)	 	Prior to the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower
becomes due (each a “Due Date”), the Bank will send to the Borrower a statement of the
amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The calculations in
the bill will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be
made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no
changes in the applicable interest rate. If the Billed Amount differs from the actual amount
due on the Due Date (the “Accrued Amount”), the discrepancy will be treated as
follows:






	 	(i)	 	If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the
following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower
will not be in default by reason of any such discrepancy.






	 	(ii)	 	If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the
following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy.






	 	(iii)	 	Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on
the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay
the Borrower interest on any overpayment.






	4.2.	 	Borrower’s Instructions.






	(a)	 	The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments, and may honor requests for the
issuance of letters of credit, given, or purported to be given, by any one of the Authorized
Individuals. Such instructions may be given in writing or by telephone, telefax or Internet
and intranet websites designated by the Bank with respect to separate products or services
offered by the Bank. The Bank’s obligation to act on such instructions is subject to the
terms, conditions and procedures stated elsewhere in this Agreement.






	(b)	 	Except as specified elsewhere in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed between the Bank and
the Borrower, advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account
number 446022502878 owned by the Borrower or such other of the Borrower’s accounts with the
Bank as designated in writing by the Borrower (the “Designated Account”).






	(c)	 	The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in
connection with any act resulting from instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by
any Authorized Individual, whether such instructions are given in writing or by telephone,
telefax or electronic communications (including e-mail, Internet and intranet websites). This
paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its
officers, employees, and agents.






	4.3.	 	Direct Debit.






	(a)	 	The Borrower agrees that on each Due Date the Bank will debit the Billed Amount from the
Designated Account.






	(b)	 	The Borrower may terminate this direct debit arrangement at any time by sending written
notice to the Bank at the address specified at the end of this Agreement.





4.4. Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or
are in fact closed, in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day
relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which
dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All
payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on
the next banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to
the credit on the next banking day.



4.5. Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and
fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.
Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear
interest until paid.



4.6. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Agreement or
after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all
amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any unpaid interest, fees, or costs, will at
the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 2.0 percentage points higher than the rate
of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement (the “Default Rate”). This may result
in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.



4.7. Taxes. If any payments to the Bank under this Agreement are made from outside the
United States, the Borrower will not deduct any foreign taxes from any payments it makes to the
Bank. If any such taxes are imposed on any payments made by the Borrower (including payments under
this paragraph), the Borrower will pay the taxes and will also pay to the Bank, at the time
interest is paid, any additional amount which the Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the
after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such taxes had not been imposed. The Borrower will
confirm that it has paid the taxes by giving the Bank official tax receipts (or notarized copies)
within thirty (30) days after the due date.



4.8. Additional Costs. The Borrower will pay the Bank, on demand, for the Bank’s costs or
losses arising from any Change in Law which are allocated to this Agreement or any credit
outstanding under this Agreement. The allocation will be made as determined by the Bank, using any
reasonable method. The costs include, without limitation, the following:




	(a)	 	any reserve or deposit requirements (excluding any reserve requirement already reflected in
the calculation of the interest rate in this Agreement); and






	(b)	 	any capital requirements relating to the Bank’s assets and commitments for credit.

Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three
arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand
for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However,
the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing
for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court
having jurisdiction to be confirmed and have judgment entered and enforced.






	(e)	 	The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and
shall dismiss the arbitration if the Claim is barred under the applicable statutes of
limitation. For purposes of the application of any statutes of limitation, the service on AAA
under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit.
Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be
determined by the arbitrator(s), except as set forth at subparagraph (h) of this Dispute
Resolution Provision. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement.






	(f)	 	This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against
any real or personal property Collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights,
or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to,
injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or
supplementary remedies.






	(g)	 	The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any
party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.






	(h)	 	Any arbitration or court trial (whether before a judge or jury) of any Claim will take place
on an individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action (the
“Class Action Waiver”). The Class Action Waiver precludes any party from participating in or
being represented in any class or representative action regarding a Claim. Regardless of
anything else in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class
Action Waiver may be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the
arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to
arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then
the parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding,
subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The
parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.






	(i)	 	By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right
they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in
any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the
parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in
respect of such Claim. This waiver of jury trial shall remain in effect even if the Class
Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY
ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW.





10.5. Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of
the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after any
default. If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver
under this Agreement must be in writing.



10.6. Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and
attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any
rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this
Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this
Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled
to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or
arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is
commenced by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United
States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or
enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. As used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees”
includes the allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel.




	10.7.	 	Set-Off.






	(a)	 	In addition to any rights and remedies of the Bank provided by law, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, the Bank is authorized,
at any time, to set off and apply any and all Deposits of the Borrower held by the Bank or its
Affiliates against any and all Secured Obligations owing to the Bank. The set-off may be made
irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any
guaranty, and although such Secured Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated
in a currency different from that of the applicable Deposits and without regard for the
availability or adequacy of other Collateral. Any Deposits may be converted, sold or
otherwise liquidated at prevailing market prices in order to effect such set-off.






	(b)	 	The set-off may be made without prior notice to the Borrower or any other party, any such
notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bank agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.






	(c)	 	For the purposes of this paragraph, “Deposits” means any deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final, individual or joint) as well as any money, instruments,
securities, credits, claims, demands, income or other property, rights or interests owned by
the Borrower which come into the possession or custody or under the control of the Bank or its
Affiliates.





10.8. One Agreement. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required
by this Agreement, collectively:




	(a)	 	represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Loan Parties
concerning this credit;






	(b)	 	replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Loan Parties concerning
this credit; and






	(c)	 	are intended by the Bank and the Loan Parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement
of the terms agreed to by them.





In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this
Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. Any reference in any related document to a “promissory
note” or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be
deemed to refer to this Agreement, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.



10.9. Waiver of Confidentiality. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to discuss the
Borrower’s financial affairs and business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with any
accountants, auditors, business consultants, or other professional advisors employed by the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and authorizes such parties to disclose to the Bank such financial
and business information or reports (including management letters) concerning the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as the Bank may request.



10.10. Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any
loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or
indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or
committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, (c) any claim, whether well-founded or otherwise,
that there has been a failure to comply with any law regulating the Borrower’s and its Subsidiary’s
sales or leases to or performance of services for debtors obligated upon government contracts of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and disclosures in connection therewith, and (d) any litigation
or proceeding related to or arising out of this Agreement, any such document, any such credit, or
any such claim. This indemnity includes but is not limited to reasonable and documented attorneys’
fees. This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates and all of their
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will
survive repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder
shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and payable within ten (10) days of demand. This
indemnity shall not apply to any loss, liability, damages, judgments and costs arising from gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank or any of its directors, officers or employees.



10.11. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement
between the Bank and the Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally
delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses
on the signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the
signature page, or to such other addresses as the Bank and the Borrower may specify from time to
time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the
earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid,
(ii) if telecopied, when transmitted, or (iii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise
(including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered.



10.12. Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not
affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.



10.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary
or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the
same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement (or of any agreement or
document required by this Agreement and any amendment to this Agreement) by telecopy or other
electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement; provided, however, that the telecopy or other electronic image shall be promptly
followed by an original if required by the Bank.



10.14. Borrower Information; Reporting to Credit Bureaus. The Borrower authorizes the Bank
at any time to verify or check any information given by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Bank,
check the Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. The Borrower
agrees that the Bank shall have the right at all times to disclose and report to credit reporting
agencies and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to the Borrower and/or all
Guarantors as is consistent with the Bank’s policies and practices from time to time in effect.



10.15. USA Patriot Act Notice. Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or obtains a loan.
The Bank will ask for the Borrower’s legal name, address, tax ID number or social security number
and other identifying information. The Bank may also ask for additional information or
documentation or take other actions reasonably necessary to verify the identity of the Borrower or
other related persons.



10.16. Limitation of Interest and Other Charges. If, at any time, the rate of interest,
together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by the
Bank as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or
collection of the loan evidenced hereby, shall be deemed by any competent court of law,
governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by
the Bank to the Borrower under applicable law, then, during such time as such rate of interest
would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such
interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary
prepayment of principal. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect as
of the date hereof; provided, however, that in the event there is a change in the law which results
in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this Agreement shall be governed by such new law as
of its effective date.
