1. Payment Amount

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Promissory Note (the Note), including without limitation Section 4 hereof, for value received, the Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the sum of Seven Million
Dollars ($7,000,000) (the Principal Amount). Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Principal Amount of this Note may be restated or otherwise adjusted, as contemplated by Section 4 below.

2. Interest

This Note shall bear interest on the
principal balance outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal, and, if more than one such rate is published, at the average of all such rates so
published, with each change in Prime Rate being effective on the published effective date of such change. Interest shall begin to accrue on January 11, 2007. Interest shall be calculated based on a 365-day calendar year compounded quarterly and
paid for actual days elapsed.

3. Payment Terms

For a period of three (3) years commencing on the date hereof, Borrower shall make quarterly principal payments of Five Hundred Eighty Three Thousand Three Hundred Thirty Three Dollars and Thirty Three Cents ($583,333.33) and quarterly
interest payments on the outstanding balance of the Principal Amount of the Note; the first payment of which shall be made on April 10, 2007, and subsequent payments of which shall be made on July 10, 2007 and October 10, 2007 and
January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10 of each year thereafter, until the whole remaining sum of principal and interest has been paid in full. Upon an Event of Default (as defined in Section 8
hereof), the whole sum of both principal and interest shall be immediately due and collectible at the option of the holder of this Note. Subject to Section 4



---

hereof, unless the balance is sooner accelerated upon an Event of Default as provided herein, the full balance of the Note shall be due and payable on or
before January 10, 2010.

4. Adjustment

This Note is the Promissory Note referred to in Section 2.02(b) of that certain asset purchase agreement by and among Borrower, Lender, and certain other parties, dated as of December 7, 2006 (the Asset Purchase
Agreement). Accordingly, this Note is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Asset Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the net working capital adjustment in
Section 3.02 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the collection of Purchased Accounts Receivable in Section 3.03 of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the right of set-off in Section 10.06 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

A. Any amount owed by Lender to Borrower pursuant to the net working capital adjustment set forth in Section 3.02 of the Asset Purchase Agreement
shall be credited as principal payments made by Borrower with respect to the next payment(s) due under the Note and the Principal Amount shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

B. Any amount owed by Lender to Borrower for any Uncollected A/R pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be credited as
principal payments made by Borrower with respect to the next payment(s) due under the Note and the Principal Amount shall be automatically adjusted accordingly.

C. In accordance with Section 10.06 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, if Borrower, in good faith, believes that Lender owes any amounts to Borrower pursuant to or in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement
(including any agreement or exhibit referred to therein), then, in such case, Borrower may prior to any Final Judgment (as defined in Article XII of the Asset Purchase Agreement), at its election, deduct such amount from any payment
due under this Note (the Setoff Amount). In the event Borrower sets-off any amount otherwise due hereunder pursuant to the foregoing, such non-payment by Borrower shall not be deemed to be a default, an Event of Default or otherwise;
provided, however, that to the extent that pursuant to a Final Judgment, all or any portion of such Setoff Amount (the Applicable Portion) is deemed not to be owed to Borrower pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, then
Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of such Final Judgment, pay Lender the Applicable Portion plus interest accrued thereon.

Any adjustment or
setoff made pursuant to this Section 4 shall be applied first against any accrued and unpaid interest and second against the next installment(s) of principal due hereunder.

5. Prepayment

Borrower may prepay, without penalty, all or part of the unpaid balance of this Note
at any time and from time to time. Any partial prepayment made pursuant to this Section 5 shall be applied first against any accrued and unpaid interest and second against the next installment(s) of principal due hereunder.

hereafter designate in writing:

A. The following shall constitute Events of Default under this Note:

(2) Breach by Borrower of any covenant under Section 9 of this Note, which breach shall continue uncured for a period of thirty
(30) days after the date on which written notice specifying such breach, and stating that such notice is a Notice of Default hereunder, shall have been given by Lender to Borrower; or

(3) Borrower institutes or consents to the institution of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (as hereinafter defined),

or any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of such person and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for 90 calendar days; or any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any such person or to all or any material part of its property is instituted without the consent of such person and continues undismissed or unstayed for 90 calendar days, or an order for relief is

option, by notice in writing to the holder of Senior Debt and Borrower (the Acceleration Notice), declare the entire principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this Note to be due and payable upon the earlier of: (1) ninety
(90) days after the delivery of the Acceleration Notice to Borrower and the holders of Senior Debt, or (2) an acceleration under the Senior Debt. Upon such declaration by Lender, the entire principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this
Note shall become due and payable at such time.

Senior Default exists, Lender may, at its option, by Acceleration Notice, declare the entire principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note to be due and payable upon the date that is five (5) business days after the delivery of the
Acceleration Notice to Borrower and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. Upon such declaration by Lender, the entire principal and accrued but unpaid interest of this Note shall become due and payable at such time.

D. If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.A.(3) occurs, the entire principal and accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall become due
and payable immediately, without any declaration or other act on the part of Lender.

E. If an Event of Default specified in any subsection
of Section 8.A. occurs:

(1) This Note shall accrue interest at a rate that is four percent (4%) above the rate
effective immediately before such Event of Default (the Default Rate of Interest); and

(2) Borrower shall be
liable for, and shall pay to Lender, Lenders reasonable collection costs including reasonable attorneys fees.

A. Borrower will provide Lender with notice of any event of a Senior Default not later than one (1) business day after Borrower receives notice
thereof;

B. Borrower will provide Lender with prompt notice (which shall in any event be provided not later than the date that notice of
such event is provided to the Senior Creditor) regarding any and all material events that constitute a material impairment of Borrowers ability to perform its obligations under this Note and/or the Senior Debt.

C. Borrower will not liquidate, wind up, or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not
apply in any way to the foreclosure, sale, or other disposition of collateral pledged to secure Senior Debt pursuant to any judicial proceeding or by or at the direction of the holders of the Senior Debt.
