| | 3.  | LETTERS OF CREDIT.
| | --- | ------------------
| | (a) | General Terms.    

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, during the Original Term, Lender may, in its sole discretion, determined in good faith, from time to time cause to be issued and co-sign for or otherwise guarantee, upon Borrower's request, commercial and/or standby Letters of Credit; provided, that the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit shall at no time exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).  Payments made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit to any Person on account of any Letter of Credit shall be immediately payable by Borrower without notice, presentment or demand and Borrower agrees that each payment made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit in respect of a Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by Borrower for a Loan to reimburse such issuer.  In the event such Loan is not advanced by Lender for
any reason, such reimbursement obligations (whether owing to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or Lender if Lender is not the issuer) shall become part of the Liabilities hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans constituting Prime Rate Loans until repaid.  Borrower shall remit to Lender a Letter of Credit fee equal to one-sixth of one percent (1/6th of 1%) per month on the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month. Said fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year. Borrower shall also pay on demand the normal and customary administrative charges of the issuer of the Letter of Credit for issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit.

| | (b) | Requests for Letters of Credit.
| | --- | -------------------------------

Borrower shall make requests for Letters of Credit in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Each such request shall specify the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and a description of the transaction to be supported thereby.  Any such notice shall be accompanied by the form of Letter of Credit requested and any application or reimbursement agreement required by the issuer of such Letter of Credit.  If any term of such application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency.



Ver 9

-12-







| | (c) | Obligations Absolute.
| | --- | ---------------------

Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the issuer of any Letter of Credit, or Lender if Lender has reimbursed such issuer on Borrower's behalf, for any payments made in respect of any Letter of Credit, which obligation shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid regardless of:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, (ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent or departure from all or any provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any Other Agreement, (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which Borrower or any other Person may have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, Lender or the issuer of the Letter of Credit, (iv) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or
inaccurate in any respect, (v) any payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the issuer of such Letter of Credit, the Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower's obligations hereunder.  It is understood and agreed by Borrower that the issuer of any Letter of Credit may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order without further investigation or inquiry, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

| | (d) | Expiration Dates of Letters of Credit.
| | --- | --------------------------------------

The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be no later than the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of issuance and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the end of the Original Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one or more one (1) year periods, so long as the issuer thereof has the right to terminate the Letter of Credit at the end of each one (1) year period and no extension period extends past the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the end of the Original Term.

| | 4.  | INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES.
| | --- | ---------------------------
| | (a) | Interest Rate.

Ver 9

-13-





(ii)(a) each RevolvingLoan shall bear interest at the rate of three hundred (300) basis points in excess of the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period and (b) the Term Loan shall bear interest at the rate of three hundred fifty (350) basis points in excess of the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, such rates to remain fixed for such Interest Period.  "Interest Period" shall mean any continuous period of one (1), two (2) or three (3) months, as selected from time to time by Borrower by irrevocable notice (in writing, by telecopy, telex, electronic mail or cable) given to Lender not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of each respective
Interest Period; provided that:  (A) each such period occurring after such initial period shall commence on the day on which the immediately preceding period expires; (B) the final Interest Period shall be such that its expiration occurs on or before the end of the Original Term; and (C) if for any reason Borrower shall fail to timely select a period, then such Loans shall continue as, or revert to, Prime Rate Loans.  Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears and on the last Business Day of such Interest Period.

(iii)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Loans shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable thereon, which interest shall be payable on demand.  All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year.

| | (b) | Other LIBOR Provisions.
| | --- | -----------------------

(i)Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall have the option (A) as of any date, to convert all or any part of the Prime Rate Loans to, or request that new Loans be made as, LIBOR Rate Loans of various Interest Periods, (B) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of the relevant LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans; (C) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to convert all or any portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans; and (D) at any time, to request new Loans as Prime Rate Loans; provided, that Loans may not be continued as or converted to LIBOR Rate Loans, if the continuation or conversion thereof would violate the provisions ofsubsections 4(b)(ii)or4(b)(iii)of this Agreement or if an Event of Default has occurred.

(ii)Lender's determination of the LIBOR Rate as provided above shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  Furthermore, if Lender determines, in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (A) U.S. Dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding the Loans are not available to Lender in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (B) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to the Loans requested by Borrower to be LIBOR Rate Loans or the Loans bearing interest at the rates set forth insubsection 4(a)(ii)of this Agreement shall not represent the effective pricing to Lender for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount for the relevant



Ver 9

-14-





period (such as for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D to the extent not given effect in determining the rate), Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and (1) all existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (2) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until such circumstances are cured.

(iii)If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Lender or its lending offices (a "Regulatory Change"), shall, in the opinion of counsel to Lender, make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and (A) the LIBOR Rate Loans shall immediately convert to Prime Rate Loans on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law and (B) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until
such circumstance is cured.

(iv)If, for any reason, a LIBOR Rate Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period or if a LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified by Borrower in its request (other than as a result of a default by Lender), Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against any loss (including any loss on redeployment of the deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan) cost or expense incurred by Lender as a result of such prepayment.

(v)If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, Lender; (B) subject Lender or the LIBOR Rate Loans to any Tax or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal or interest due from Borrower to Lender hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of Lender); or (C) impose on Lender any other condition regarding the LIBOR Rate Loans or Lender's funding thereof, and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent any manifest error) that the result of
the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by Lender hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, on demand, such additional amounts as Lender shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify Lender from such increased cost or reduced amount.

(vi)Lender shall receive payments of amounts of principal of and interest with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Taxes.  If (A) Lender shall be subject to any Tax in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loans or any part thereof or, (B) Borrower shall be required to withhold



Ver 9

-15-





or deduct any Tax from any such amount, the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be adjusted by Lender to reflect all additional costs incurred by Lender in connection with the payment by Lender or the withholding by Borrower of such Tax and Borrower shall provide Lender with a statement detailing the amount of any such Tax actually paid by Borrower. Determination by Lender of the amount of such costs shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If after any such adjustment any part of any Tax paid by Lender is subsequently recovered by Lender, Lender shall reimburse Borrower to the extent of the amount so recovered.  A certificate of an officer of Lender setting forth the amount of such recovery and the basis therefor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(vii)Each request for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and in integral multiples of, One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).

(viii)Unless otherwise specified by Borrower, all Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans.

(ix)No more than three (3) Interest Periods may be in effect with respect to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans at any one time.

| | (c) | Fees And Charges.
| | --- | -----------------

(i)Facilities Fee:  Borrower shall pay to Lender an annual facilities fee of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00), which fee shall be fully earned by Lender and payable on the date that Lender makes its initial disbursement under this Agreement and on each anniversary of the date hereof during the Original Term.

(ii)Closing Fee:  Borrower shall pay to Lender a closing fee of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the Maximum Loan Limit, which fee shall be fully earned and payable on the date of disbursement of the initial Loans hereunder.

(iii)Unused Line Fee:  Borrower shall pay to Lender an unused line fee of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit and the average daily balance of the Revolving Loans plus the Letter of Credit Obligations for each month, which fee shall be fully earned by Lender and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month.  Said fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year.

(iv)Costs and Expenses: Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by Lender in connection with the (i) documentation and consummation of this transaction and any other transactions between Borrower and Lender, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance

and environmental audit or review costs; (ii) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (iii) collection of any Liabilities; and (iv) administration and enforcement of any of Lender's rights under this Agreement or any Other Agreement (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider engaged by Lender for such purposes).  Borrower shall also pay all normal service charges with respect to all accounts maintained by Borrower with Lender and LaSalle Bank and any additional services requested by Borrower from Lender and LaSalle Bank.

Borrower to Lender on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

(v)Capital Adequacy Charge.If Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental authority enacted after the date hereof, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such party's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from time to time, after submission by Lender to Borrower of a written demand therefor ("Capital Adequacy Demand") together with the certificate described below, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts ("Capital Adequacy Charge") as will compensate Lender for such reduction, such Capital Adequacy Demand to be made with reasonable promptness following such determination.  A certificate of Lender claiming entitlement to payment as set forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Such certificate shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such reduction, the amount of the Capital Adequacy Charge to be paid to Lender, and the method by which such amount was determined.  In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method, applied on a non-discriminatory
basis.

| | (d) | Maximum Interest.
| | --- | -----------------

It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and other charges to Borrower under this Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit which Lender may lawfully charge Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall be refunded to Borrower.

payable to Lender.  Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Lender, shall provide that the insurance company shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of Borrower or any other Person shall affect the right of Lender to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage.

the name of Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, provided however, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Borrower may make, settle and adjust claims involving less than $25,000.00 in the aggregate without Lenders consent.

Such insurance, if obtained by Lender, may, but need not, protect Borrower's interests or pay any claim made by or against Borrower with respect to the Collateral.  Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon Borrower providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above.  All sums disbursed by Lender in connection with any such actions,
including, without limitation, court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys' fees, shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable on demand by Borrower to Lender and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

Ver 9

-33-





(such deposit to be held without interest) or a reserve is maintained against Borrowers availability to borrow money under subsection 2(a), in either case, in an amount of money which, in the sole judgment of Lender, is sufficient to pay such taxes and any interest or penalties that may accrue thereon; and (iv) if Borrower fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence, Lender may apply the money so deposited in payment of such taxes.  If Borrower fails to pay any such taxes and in the absence of any such contest by Borrower, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to secure the release of any lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by Lender shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

In addition, and without limiting the foregoing sentence, the Borrower shall (a) ensure, and cause each Subsidiary to ensure, that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset
