Financial
 Statements. Furnish Lender with
 such financial statements and other related information at such frequencies
 and in such detail as Lender may reasonably request.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Loan Proceeds. Use all Loan proceeds solely for Borrower’s
 business operations, unless specifically consented to the contrary by Lender
 in writing.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Taxes, Charges and
 Liens. Pay and discharge when
 due all of its indebtedness and obligations, including without limitation all
 assessments, taxes, governmental
 charges, levies and liens, of every kind and nature, imposed upon Borrower or
 its properties, income, or profits, prior to the date on which penalties would attach, and all lawful claims
 that, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of Borrower’s properties, income, or profits.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Performance. Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all
 terms, conditions, and provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Related
 Documents, and in all other
 instruments and agreements between Borrower and Lender. Borrower shall notify

Compliance with
 Governmental Requirements.
 Comply with all laws, ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in
 effect, of all governmental
 authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower’s properties, businesses
 and operations, and to the use or occupancy of the Collateral, including without limitation, the
 Americans With Disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such
 law, ordinance, or regulation and
 withhold compliance during any proceeding, including appropriate appeals, so
 long as Borrower has notified Lender in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender’s sole opinion,
 Lender’s interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may require Borrower to post adequate security or a
 surety bond, reasonably satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender’s interest.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Inspection. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any
 reasonable time to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and
 Borrower’s other properties and to examine or audit Borrower’s books,
 accounts, and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower’s books, accounts, and records. If
 Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including
 without limitation computer generated records and computer software programs
 for the generation of such records) in the possession of a third party,
 Borrower, upon request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free
 access to such records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records it may
 request, all at Borrower’s expense.

LENDER’S EXPENDITURES. If
any action or proceeding is commenced that would materially affect Lender’s
interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of
this Agreement or any Related Documents, including but not limited to
Borrower’s failure to discharge or
pay when due any amounts Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this
Agreement or any Related Documents, Lender on Borrower’s behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take any action
that Lender deems appropriate on any Collateral and paying all costs for
insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date
incurred or paid by Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such
expenses will become a part of the
Indebtedness and, at Lender’s option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be
added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment payments to become
due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note’s
maturity.

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If
Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under this
Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to make
Loan advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is
in default under the terms of this
Agreement or any other agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with
Lender; (B) Borrower or any guarantor
dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy
or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in
Borrower’s financial condition, in the financial condition of any guarantor, or
in the value of any collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any guarantor seeks,
claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor’s
guaranty of the Loan or any other
loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even
though no Event of Default shall have occurred.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a right of setoff in all
Borrower’s accounts with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts
Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include
any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be
prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes
Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums
owing on the Indebtedness against any and
all such accounts, and, at Lender’s option, to administratively freeze all such
accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender’s charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

DEFAULT. Each of the
following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due
 under the Loan.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Other Default. Borrower fails to comply with any other term,
 obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of
 the Related Documents.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Default in Favor of
 Third Parties. Borrower
 defaults under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or
 sales agreement, or any other
 agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may materially
 affect any of Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loans or perform Borrower’s
 obligations under this Agreement or any related document.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
False Statements. Any representation or statement made by Borrower
 to Lender is false in any material respect.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower’s
 existence as a going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of
 a receiver for any part of
 Borrower’s property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
 creditor workout, or the commencement
 of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
 Borrower.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Creditor or
 Forfeiture Proceedings.
 Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial
 proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of
 Borrower or by any governmental agency against any collateral securing the
 Loan.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Events Affecting
 Guarantor. Any of the preceding
 events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any
 Guarantor dies or becomes
 incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
 Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
 (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in
this Agreement or the Related Documents,
all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement immediately will
terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender’s option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice

of
any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the
type described in the “Insolvency” subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional.
In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the
Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as
may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender’s rights and remedies
shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not
exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an
obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender’s right to
declare a default and to exercise its
rights and remedies.

FACSIMILE AND COUNTERPART.
This document may be signed in any number of separate copies, each of which
shall be effective as an original, but all of
which taken together shall constitute a single document. An electronic
transmission or other facsimile of this document or any related document shall be deemed an original
and shall be admissible as evidence of the document and the signer’s execution.

ADDITIONAL SECURITY.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this or any related agreement, to
further secure the indebtedness and obligations
of the Note and related loan documents, Borrower pledges and grants to Lender a
security interest in Borrower’s accounts with Lender, including without limitation, checking, savings, investment,
general and special accounts, and accounts held for safekeeping, held jointly with others, and accounts opened in the future,
excluding however all IRAs, Keogh accounts, and trust accounts to the extent a
security interest would be invalid or
prohibited by law.

INSURANCE. Borrower shall
assure that insurance is maintained pursuant to any insurance requirements set
forth in the Agreement To Provide Insurance and /or other Related
Documents, if applicable.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. Arbitration - Binding Arbitration. Lender and each party to this agreement hereby
agree, upon demand by any party, to
submit any Dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of this
Arbitration Program. A “Dispute” shall include any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind, whether
in contract or in tort, Legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising,
relating in any way to this Agreement or any related agreement incorporating
this Arbitration Program (the “Documents”), or any past, present, or future
loans, transactions, contracts, agreements,
relationships, incidents or injuries of any kind whatsoever relating to or
involving Business Banking, Regional Banking, or any successor group or
department of Lender. DISPUTES SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION ARE NOT RESOLVED IN
COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY.

Governing Rules. Any
arbitration proceeding will (i) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
(Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding
any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the
parties; and (ii) be conducted by the AAA (American Arbitration Association),
or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in
accordance with the AAA’s commercial
dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least
$1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall
be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large,
complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution
procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to
be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency
between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth
herein shall control. Arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted at a
location mutually agreeable to the parties, or if they cannot agree, then at a location selected by the AAA in the
state of the applicable substantive law primarily governing the Credit. Any
party who fails or refuses to submit
to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and
expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any Dispute. Arbitration may be demanded at
any time, and may be compelled by summary proceedings in Court. The institution and maintenance of an action for
judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not
constitute a waiver of the right of
any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to
arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses
of the arbitration proceeding. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a
waiver by any party that is a Bank of
the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. °91 or any similar applicable
state law.

No Waiver of Provisional
Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not
limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against
real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating
to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or
ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the
appointment of a receiver, before
during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does
not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to
submit any Dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those
arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is
$5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by
a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render
an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any Dispute in which the amount in
controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel
of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must
actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. Every arbitrator must
be a practicing attorney or a retired member of the state or federal
judiciary, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the
substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is
arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining
any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by
documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any
pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to
state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve
all Disputes in accordance with the
applicable substantive law and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of
such state could order or grant within
the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective
any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of
all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the
arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the applicable
State Rules of Civil Procedure, or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in
any court having jurisdiction.

Discovery. In any
arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the
Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being
arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date
and within 180 days of the filing of
the Dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery
periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final
determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery
is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

Miscellaneous. To the
maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take
all action required to conclude any arbitration
proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the AAA. The
resolution of any Dispute shall be determined by a separate arbitration
proceeding and such Dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or
included in any class proceeding. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence,
content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party
required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or
regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the
arbitration provision most directly related to the documents between the
parties or the subject matter of the
Dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment
or expiration of any of the documents or any relationship between the parties.

or counterclaim has been asserted;

that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents the amount
by which Borrower’s total accounts from said account debtor exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of
