                           ARTICLE 2 - REVOLVING LINE

      2.1 Revolving Line. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Bank hereby establishes for the benefit of the Borrower a revolving line of
credit in the maximum principal amount of Thirteen Million Dollars
($13,000,000.00) outstanding at any one time. The proceeds of the Revolving Line
shall be used to meet the Borrower's letter of credit and working capital
requirements. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow,
repay, and reborrow under the Revolving Line so long as the aggregate principal
amount outstanding at any time, plus (a) the undrawn amount of all Letters of
Credit and (b) the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans, does not
exceed $13,000,000.00.

      2.2 Revolving Line Note. The Borrower shall execute, together with this
Agreement, a note evidencing Obligations related to the Revolving Line in the
form of Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

      2.3 Interest Rate.

            Outstanding amounts under the Revolving Line Note shall bear
interest, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, at a variable rate
per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time minus the
Applicable Prime Rate Margin.

            The Borrower from time to time, however, may elect to have portions
of the principal outstanding under the Revolving Line Note bear interest at the
fixed per annum rate equal to the one-month, two-month, or three- month LIBOR
Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin for the period applicable to that rate by
giving at least two (2) business days' prior notice in writing or by telecopy to
the Bank. The notice shall specify (i) the rate chosen, (ii) the outstanding
principal amount to bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate (with any
outstanding amounts from time to time under the Revolving Line Note, in excess
of such specified amount, to bear interest at the rate based upon the Prime
Rate), and (iii) the commencement date for such rate. No LIBOR Interest Period
may be elected that would extend beyond the maturity date of the Revolving Line
Note. The rate of interest so elected shall be in effect for the respective
applicable LIBOR Interest Period. The Borrower shall be responsible for all
Break Costs including without limitation those applicable if during any period
in which a LIBOR based rate or rates is or are in effect, if the principal
amount outstanding under the Revolving Line Note bearing interest at such
respective rate or rates is ever less than the principal amount stated in the
respective election notice or notices for such period.

                                       11
<PAGE>

            Interest shall continue to accrue after maturity, acceleration, and
judgment at the rate required by this Agreement until the Revolving Line Note is
paid in full. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a three
hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

      2.4 Payments. Payments of all accrued interest under the Revolving Line
Note shall be due on the first day of each month.

            In the event the Borrower becomes aware, or receives notice (oral or
written) from the Bank, that principal amounts outstanding under the Revolving
Line exceed the maximum available amount described herein at any time, Borrower
promptly shall make a principal payment to the Bank sufficient to reduce
outstanding principal amounts to the maximum amount available hereunder.

            All remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be
due and payable in full upon the earlier of (a) at the option of the Bank, upon
written notice to Borrower, an Event of Default, or (b) the Revolving Line
Termination Date, provided that under certain circumstances, some or all of the
principal amounts outstanding under the Revolving Line may be converted to a
Term Loan in accordance with the terms of Article 4 hereof.

            The Borrower may prepay principal outstanding under the Revolving
Line Note which is bearing interest based on the Prime Rate at any time without
premium or charge.

            The Borrower may prepay an Obligation for which the interest rate is
based upon LIBOR only upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice
to Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable), and any such prepayment shall occur
only on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such Obligation.
Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon request of Bank, Break Costs if any. Each
principal prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued interest
on the principal prepaid.

            In addition, any prepayment due to a refinancing of the Revolving
Line in whole or in part by another financial institution (i) one year or less
after the date hereof must be accompanied by an additional $100,000 premium
payment, (ii) more than one year but less than two years after the date hereof
must be accompanied by a $50,000 premium payment, and (iii) thereafter prior to
the Revolving Line Termination Date must be accompanied by a $10,000 premium
payment.

            All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at the address for
Bank first shown above in this Agreement or such other place as Bank may from
time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other
payments.

      2.5 Revolving Line Termination. Unless extended in writing by the Bank on
terms and conditions then acceptable to the Bank, the Revolving Line will
terminate on, the earlier of (i) October 31, 2008 and (ii) the date of
termination pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof.

                                       12
<PAGE>

      2.6 Audits. Borrower agrees to allow the Bank complete access to all books
and records of the Borrower upon reasonable request. Borrower agrees to submit
information which the Bank may reasonably request from time to time in
connection with the Revolving Line.

      2.7 Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Bank on or before the date of
the first advance hereunder a facility fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%)
of the maximum amount available under the Revolving Line ($32,500.00).

      2.8 Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay the Bank a quarterly fee of
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the average unused
availability under the Revolving Line during the preceding quarter. For purposes
of calculating such average unused availability, the undrawn amounts of
outstanding Letters of Credit shall be aggregated with amounts borrowed under
the Revolving Line in determining what portion of the Revolving Line has been
used. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Bank will bill the Borrower for the
unused fee.

                         ARTICLE 3 - LETTERS OF CREDIT

      3.1 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Bank will make Letters of Credit available for the account of the
Borrower in an aggregate stated face amount not exceeding the lesser of (a)
Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), and (b) the availability under the Revolving
Line. Letters of Credit will be made promptly available for the Borrower's work
in process (to support customer progress payments) or as otherwise requested by
Borrower for general business purposes. The stated amount outstanding under all
Letters of Credit at all times shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount
available for advances under the Revolving Line. The Letters of Credit shall be
in form satisfactory to the Bank and will be for a term of up to three (3) years
from the date of issuance, except that Letters of Credit in the aggregate face
amount of $4,000,000.00 may have maturities of up to four (4) years from the
date of issuance, which date of issuance may be no later than the Revolving Line
Termination Date.

      3.2 Commissions. The Borrower will pay letter of credit commissions to the
Bank on the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit and on each anniversary
date thereafter if the Letter of Credit is renewed or has a maturity in excess
of one year from the date of issuance, equal to one and one-quarter of one
percent (1.25%) of the undrawn amount thereof for standby letters of credit, and
one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the undrawn amount thereof for documentary
letters of credit. Commissions on letters of credit having maturities of less
than one year shall be charged ratably. In addition, the Borrower will pay to
the Bank a $150 administrative fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to
this Agreement.

      3.3 Reimbursement. The Borrower will execute a Reimbursement Agreement
that is satisfactory to the Bank, documenting its Obligations with respect to
each of the Letters of Credit. Among other items, the Reimbursement Agreement
will require immediate reimbursement to the Bank for all amounts drawn under the
Letters of Credit, and outstanding drawn amounts not so reimbursed may, at the
discretion of the Bank, be treated as advances under the Revolving Line.

                                       13

<PAGE>

            All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at the address for
Bank first shown above in this Agreement or such other place as Bank may from
time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other
payments.

                             ARTICLE 4 - TERM LOANS

      4.1 Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
provided that no Default exists, (a) prior to or upon the Revolving Line
Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right from time to time to convert
not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) at any one time and up to Nine
Million Dollars ($9,000,000) in the aggregate of then-outstanding principal
amounts under the Revolving Line (excluding the face amount of any outstanding
Letters of Credit), and (b) on the Revolving Line Termination Date, all
then-outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Line (excluding the face
amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit) shall be converted to a two-year
term loan (each, a "Term Loan"). The proceeds of each Term Loan shall be used to
satisfy the converted Revolving Line Obligations. The principal amount
outstanding under each Term Loan shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount
available for advances under the Revolving Line.

      4.2 Term Loan Note. Each Term Loan shall be evidenced by a note dated on
the Conversion Date of that Term Loan in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto
and made a part hereof.

      4.3 Interest Rate.

            Outstanding amounts under each Term Loan Note shall bear interest,
except as otherwise specifically provided herein, at a variable rate per annum
equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time minus the Applicable Prime
Rate Margin.

            The Borrower from time to time, however, may elect to have portions
of the principal outstanding under a Term Loan Note bear interest at the fixed
per annum rate equal to the one-month, two-month, or three-month LIBOR Rate plus
the Applicable LIBOR Margin for the period applicable to that rate by giving at
least two (2) business days' prior notice in writing or by telecopy to the Bank.
The notice shall specify (i) the rate chosen and (ii) the outstanding principal
amount to bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate, and (iii) the commencement
date for such rate. No LIBOR Interest Period for a Term Loan Note may be elected
that would extend beyond the maturity date of such Term Loan Note. The rate of
interest so elected shall be in effect for the respective applicable LIBOR
Interest Period. If the Borrower does not provide such an election notice two
business days prior to the expiration of a LIBOR Interest Period, interest shall
revert to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time minus the Applicable Prime
Rate Margin, as set forth above. The Borrower shall be responsible for all Break
Costs including without limitation those applicable if during any period in
which a LIBOR based rate or rates is or are in effect, if the principal amount
outstanding under any Term Loan Note bearing interest at such respective rate or
rates is ever less than the principal amount stated in the respective election
notice or notices for such period.

                                       14
<PAGE>

      Interest shall continue to accrue after maturity, acceleration, and
judgment at the rate required by this Agreement until each Term Loan Note is
paid in full. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a three

      4.4 Payments.

            Payments of all accrued interest under each Term Loan Note shall be
due on the first day of each month. Monthly principal payments with respect to
each Term Loan Note, each equal to one-twenty-fourth (1/24th) of the original
principal amount of such Term Loan Note, shall be due on the first day of each
month.

            All remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest under each
Term Loan Note shall be due and payable in full on the date which is twenty four
(24) months from its Conversion Date.

            The Borrower may prepay principal outstanding under a Term Loan Note
which is bearing interest based on the Prime Rate at any time without premium or
charge.

            The Borrower may prepay an Obligation for which the interest rate is
based upon LIBOR only upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice
to Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable), and any such prepayment shall occur
only on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such Obligation.
Borrower shall pay to the Bank, upon request of Bank, Break Costs if any.
Prepayments shall be applied in inverse order of maturity. Each principal
prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued interest on the
principal prepaid.

            In addition, prepayment due to a refinancing of any Term Loan in
whole or in part with another financial institution (i) one year or less after
the date hereof must be accompanied by an additional $100,000 premium payment,
(ii) more than one year but less than two years after the date hereof must be
accompanied by a $50,000 premium payment, and (iii) thereafter prior to the
maturity date of the Term Loan must be accompanied by a $10,000 premium payment.

            All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at the address for
Bank first shown above in this Agreement or such other place as Bank may from
time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other
payments.

           ARTICLE 5 - EXPENSES/FEES/DEFAULT RATE/PAYMENT APPLICATION

      5.1 Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable
expenses of Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, default,
collection, waiver or amendment of Obligation terms, or in connection with
Bank's exercise, preservation, or enforcement of any of its rights, remedies, or
options hereunder, including without limitation, fees of outside legal counsel
or the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, accounting, consulting,
brokerage or similar professional fees or expenses, and any fees or expenses

                                       15
<PAGE>

associated with travel or other costs relating to any appraisals or examinations
conducted in connection with any Obligation or any collateral therefor, and the
amount of all such expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the highest rate
applicable to any Obligation (including any default rate) and be an Obligation
secured by any collateral.

      5.2 Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to the
payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Bank (excluding
principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of
outstanding principal; provided, however, that after an Event of Default,
payments will be applied to the Obligations as Bank determines in its sole
discretion.

      5.3 Default Interest Rate. Upon a Default (whether or not Bank has
accelerated payment of the Obligations), or after maturity or after judgment has
been rendered with respect to any of the Obligations, Borrower's right to select
pricing options shall cease and the unpaid principal of all Obligations shall,
at the option the Bank, bear interest at a rate which is four (4) percentage
points per annum greater than that which would otherwise be applicable.

      5.4 Late Payment Fees. If the entire amount of any required principal
and/or interest is not paid in full under any of the Loan Documents within ten
(10) days after the same is due, Borrower shall pay to the Bank a late fee equal
to five percent (5%) of the required payment.

      5.5 Prepayments Upon Default. If by reason of an Event of Default the Bank
elects to declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, then any
prepayment charge or Break Costs with respect to the Obligations shall become
due and payable in the same manner as though the Borrower had exercised a right
of prepayment.

      5.6 Obligations Related to Rate Management Transactions. In the event that
the Borrower enters into any interest rate swap agreement or other agreement
related to any Rate Management Transaction with the Bank or any of its
affiliates, any costs incurred by the Bank or its affiliates in connection
therewith, including without limitation any interest, expenses, fees, premiums,
penalties or other charges associated with any obligations undertaken by the
Bank or its affiliates to hedge or offset the Bank's or its affiliates
obligations pursuant to such agreement, or the termination of any such
obligations, shall be (i) deemed additional interest and/or a related expense
(to be determined in the sole discretion of the Bank) and due as part of the
Obligations and secured by all collateral and covered by all guarantees
referenced in Article 6 and otherwise therefor to the full extent thereof, and
included in any judgment in any proceeding instituted by the Bank.

                             ARTICLE 6 - COLLATERAL

      6.1 Reaffirmation of Security Interests. The Borrower hereby reaffirms to
the Bank its Amended and Restated Security Agreement (Accounts, Inventory,
Chattel Paper, Documents, Technology and General Intangibles) dated as of
November 3, 1999, and its Amended and Restated Security Agreement (Goods and
Equipment) dated as of December 3, 1999 (collectively, the "Security
Agreements"), and the liens created thereby. The Borrower confirms to the Bank
that the Security Agreements continue in full force and effect, and that the

                                       16
<PAGE>

Obligations hereunder constitute Obligations as defined in the Security
Agreements, secured by the Collateral described in the Security Agreements. Such
security interests shall be first liens on such assets, which shall not be
otherwise encumbered except as specified on Schedule 6.1 attached hereto and
made a part hereof.

                    ARTICLE 7 - REPRESENTATIONS OF BORROWER

      a. Representations by the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants
to the Bank as follows:

      7.1 Organization and Power. The Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is
duly qualified to transact business and in good standing in the State of New
York and in all other states in which failure to qualify could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has full power and
authority to own its properties, to carry on its business as now being
conducted, to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents, and to consummate
the transactions contemplated thereby. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries or
Affiliates except those listed on Schedule 7.1.

      7.2 Proceedings of Borrower. All necessary action on the part of the
Borrower, including shareholder approval to the extent required, relating to
authorization of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the
performance of the Obligations of the Borrower thereunder has been taken. The
Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. To the best of Borrower's
knowledge, after due inquiry, the Borrower has no defenses, offsets, claims, or
counterclaims with respect to its obligations arising under the Loan Documents.
The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, and the
performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, will not violate any
provision of law or the Borrower's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or
organizational or other documents or agreements. The execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby will not violate, be in conflict with, result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under any agreement to which the Borrower is a party
or by which any of its properties is bound, or any order, writ, injunction, or
decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, and will not result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of its
properties.

      7.3 Capitalization. All of the outstanding share interests and other
equity interests of the Borrower are duly authorized, validly issued, and fully
paid. Except for put options on shares distributed to participants in the
Borrower's Employee Stock Ownership Plan, there is no existing contract,
debenture, security, right, option, warrant, call or similar commitment of any
character calling for or relating to the issuance of, purchase or receipt of, or
redemption or retirement of, shares or other equity interests of the Borrower.

      7.4 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the most recent Financial
Statements described in Section 7.5 hereof and in Schedule 7.4, there is no
action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental
instrumentality or other agency pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against or affecting the Borrower that brings into question the
legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or the transactions

                                       17
<PAGE>

contemplated thereby or that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      7.5 Financial Statements. All financial statements furnished by the
Borrower to the Bank are complete and correct, have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout
the periods indicated, and fairly present the financial condition of the
Borrower, as of the respective dates thereof and the results of its operation
for the respective periods covered thereby.

      7.6 Adverse Changes. Since the most recent financial statements described
in Section 7.5 hereof there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

      7.7 Taxes. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed when due all
federal tax returns and all state and local tax returns that are required to be
filed, and has paid or caused to be paid all taxes as shown on said returns or
any assessment received. The Borrower's tax returns are not being audited on the
date of this Agreement and the Borrower has not been notified of any intention
by any taxing authority to conduct such an audit.

      7.8 Properties. The Borrower has good and marketable title to all of its
properties and assets, including without limitation, the properties and assets
reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 7.5
hereof. The Borrower has undisturbed peaceable possession under all leases under
which it is operating, none of which contain unusual or burdensome provisions
that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and all
such leases are in full force and effect.

      7.9 Indebtedness. Except as disclosed in the most recent financial
statements referred to in Section 7.5 hereof and as set forth on Schedule 7.9
attached hereto, the Borrower has no outstanding indebtedness or contingent
liabilities (including without limitation "off-balance sheet" liabilities and
liabilities as account party with respect to letters of credit), other than
trade payables not yet due incurred in the ordinary course of business.

      7.10 Franchises; Permits. The Borrower has obtained and is in compliance
with all material licenses, permits, franchises, and governmental authorizations
necessary for the ownership of its properties and the conduct of its business as
now being conducted, for which failure to comply would reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

      7.11 ERISA. No action, event, or transaction has occurred that could give
rise to a lien or encumbrance on the assets of Borrower as a result of the
application of relevant provisions of ERISA, and Borrower is in material
compliance with all requirements of ERISA. Schedule 7.11 lists all of the
Pension Plans which any Related Party or any member of its Controlled Group
maintains, contributes to or has any liability under (or with respect to),
whether or not terminated. No Pension Plan maintained by any Related Party or
any member of its Controlled Group or to which such Person has an obligation to
contribute, or with respect to which such employer has any other liability, has
any material "unfunded liability" (i.e., accrued liabilities in excess of the
fair market value of its assets). For purposes of this representation, the Bank
agrees that the unfunded liability in the amount of $353,161, shown on the
January, 2004 report for the Borrower's defined benefit plan is not material.

                                       18
<PAGE>

      7.12 Margin Securities. No proceeds of the Obligations have been or will
be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Securities as defined
in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board.

      7.13 Compliance With Law. The Borrower is not in violation of any laws,
ordinances, governmental rules, requirements, or regulations to which it is
subject which violation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

      7.14 Environmental Matters. To the best of Borrower's knowledge:

            (a) the Improvements are not being used for, and the Borrower is not
      engaged in, the storage, treatment, generation, transportation,
      processing, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Substance
      except in compliance with all Environmental Laws;

            (b) underground storage tanks are not and have not been located on

      local governmental agency or authority, any operator, tenant, subtenant,
      licensee or occupant of the Improvements with regard to a Release or the
      threat of a Release of any Hazardous Substance on, at or from the
      Improvements;

            (e) all Environmental Permits relating to the Borrower and the
      Improvements have been obtained and are in full force and effect; there

      court, governmental agency or authority relating to the past, present or
      future ownership, use, operation, sale, transfer or conveyance of the
      Improvements which require any change in the present condition of the
      Improvements or any work, repairs, construction, containment, clean up,
      investigations, studies, removal or other remedial action or capital
      expenditures with respect to the Improvements; and

            liabilities within the meaning of Section 4041(d) of ERISA; or

                  (ii) receipt of notice by Borrower or any Controlled Group
            Member that action is being taken to terminate or reorganize a
            Multiemployer Plan if such termination or reorganization is likely
            to result in a material liability being imposed on Borrower or any
            Controlled Group Member; or

                  (iii) the existence of an accumulated funding deficiency (as
            defined in Section 412(a) of the Code) with respect to a Borrower
            Pension Plan which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
            Effect on Borrower; or

                  (iv) to the extent reasonably likely to cause a Material
            Adverse Effect on Borrower, (A) the withdrawal by Borrower or any

            from any Multiemployer Plan in a complete or partial withdrawal
            (within the meaning of Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA), unless the
            Bank receives confirmation from the plan that no withdrawal
            liability (within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA) will result
            from such withdrawal, or (B) the receipt by Borrower or any
            Controlled Group Member of a notice of withdrawal liability or
            demand for payment of withdrawal liability from a Multiemployer Plan
            or on account of a complete or partial withdrawal from a
            Multiemployer Plan on account of secondary liability for withdrawal
            liability following a sale of assets subject to Section 4204 of
            ERISA.

      12.1 Remedies. If any one or more Events of Default listed in Section 12.1
(f)(ii)-(v) occur, (i) any further commitments or obligations of the Bank shall
be deemed to be automatically and without need for further action terminated,
and (ii) all Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank, automatically and without
need for further action, shall become forthwith due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived. If any one or more Events of Default other than those
listed in Section 12.1 (f)(ii)-(v) occur, the Bank may, at its option, take
either or both of the following actions at the same or different times: (i)
terminate any further commitments or obligations of the Bank, and (ii) declare
all Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank, automatically and without need for
further action, to be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

            In case any such Events of Default shall occur, the Bank shall be
entitled to recover judgment against the Borrower for all Obligations of the
Borrower to the Bank either before, or after, or during the pendency of any
proceedings for the enforcement of any security interests, mortgages, pledges,
or guarantees and, in the event of realization of any funds from any security or
guarantee and application thereof to the payment of the Obligations due, the
Bank shall be entitled to enforce payment of and recover judgment for all
amounts remaining due and unpaid on such Obligations. The Bank shall be entitled
to exercise any other legal or equitable right which it may have, and may
proceed to protect and enforce its rights by any other appropriate proceedings,
including action for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement and other agreements held by the Bank.

            If any Default occurs, the Bank or its designee shall have the
right, upon reasonable notice to the Borrower, to enter upon the Improvements
and conduct such tests, investigation and sampling, including but not limited to
installation of monitoring wells, as shall be reasonably necessary for the Bank
to determine whether any disposal of Hazardous Substances has occurred on, at or
near the Improvements. The costs of all such tests, investigations and samplings
shall be considered as additional indebtedness secured by all collateral for the
Obligations and shall become immediately due and payable without notice and with
interest thereon at highest rate then borne by any of the Obligations. The
Borrower agrees that the Bank shall not be liable in any way for the
completeness or accuracy of any Environmental Report or the information
contained therein. The Borrower further agrees that the Bank has no duty to warn
the Borrower or any other Person about any actual or potential environmental
contamination or other problem that may have become apparent or will become
apparent to the Bank.

                           ARTICLE 13 - MISCELLANEOUS

      13.1 Entire Agreement/Waiver. This Agreement and the Loan Documents are
intended by the parties as the final, complete, and exclusive statement of the
transactions evidenced by this Agreement and the Loan Documents. All prior or
contemporaneous promises, agreements, and understandings, whether oral or
written, are deemed to be superseded by this Agreement and the Loan Documents,
and no party is relying on any promise, agreement, or understanding not set
forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents. This Agreement and the Loan
Documents may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument
describing such amendment or modification executed by the Borrower and the Bank.

            No delay or failure of the Bank to exercise any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder shall impair the same or be construed to be a waiver of
the same or of any Default or an acquiescence therein. No single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege shall preclude other or
further exercise thereof by the Bank. All rights, remedies, powers, and
privileges herein conferred upon the Bank shall be deemed cumulative and not
exclusive of any others available.

      13.2 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties
contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the execution and delivery of other agreements hereunder.

      13.3 Setoff. The Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien,
security interest, and right of set off as security for the Obligations, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank of
America Corporation and its successors and assigns or in transit to any of them.
At any time during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, without
demand or notice (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), Bank may
set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any Obligation of
Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other
collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO
EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH
SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SET OFF WITH RESPECT
TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS, OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY,
VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

      13.4 Notices. Any notice or demand upon any party hereto shall be deemed
to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes hereof when delivered
in person, one day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight courier
with receipt requested, or two business days after it is mailed certified mail
postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

            Any party may change, by notice in writing to the other parties, the
address to which notices to it shall be sent.

      13.5 Assignment/Participation. All the terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder of notes executed
hereunder; provided, however that Borrower may not assign its rights and
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank.

            Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its
rights under the Loan Documents, including any portion of any note evidencing
the Obligations, to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under
Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or
assignment or enforcement thereof shall release Bank from its obligations under
any of the Loan Documents.

            The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time
to time, and without Borrower's consent, to assign all or any portion of its
rights and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial
institutions (each an "Assignee"), and Borrower agrees that it shall execute, or
cause to be executed, such documents, including without limitation, amendments
to this Agreement and to any other Loan Documents, as the Bank shall deem
necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of the Bank and
any such Assignee, Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as
applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Bank has retained any of its rights and
obligations hereunder following such assignment, to Bank, which new promissory
notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability
evidenced by the promissory note held by Bank prior to such assignment and shall
reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee
and Bank after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery
of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments, and any other documentation
required by Bank in connection with such assignment, and the payment by Assignee
of the purchase price agreed to by Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall
be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of
the Bank hereunder (and under any and all other Loan

                                       31
<PAGE>

Documents) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by
the Bank pursuant to the assignment documentation between the Bank and such
Assignee, and Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder and
thereunder to a corresponding extent.

            The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time
to time, and without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to grant to one or
more banks or other financial institutions (each a "Participant") participating
interests in Bank's obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the
Obligations. In the event of any such grant by Bank of a participating interest
to Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower, Bank shall remain
responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and Borrower shall
continue to deal solely and directly with Bank in connection with Bank's rights
and obligations hereunder.

            The Bank may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its
possession from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided
that the Bank shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to
agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

      13.6 Business Days. If any Obligation or any payment hereunder becomes due
on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of the Obligation or payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of
time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such
payment.

      13.7 Telecopy Requests. As a convenience to the Borrower, Borrower hereby
authorizes the Bank to rely upon requests made by the Borrower or its employees
by telecopy, and to treat such requests as if they were made in a writing
delivered to the Bank. Any advance of funds made by the Bank pursuant to any
such request shall be deemed to be authorized by the Borrower unless immediately
repaid in full.

      13.8 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, document, or guarantee
related hereto shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
any other provision of this Agreement or such other agreement, document, or
guarantee. This Agreement has been prepared in cooperation of counsel for each
of the parties, and shall not be construed as against any particular party as
drafter.

      13.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Loan Documents, and the rights
and obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be construed, interpreted,
governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
(excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).

      13.10 Replacement of Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes and
replaces the Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement dated November 3,
1999 between the Bank and the Borrower as the same was amended and the lines of
credit and term loans related thereto.

      13.11 Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of
Bank as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any note evidencing
any Obligation or any other Loan Document which is not of public record, and, in
the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or

                                       32
<PAGE>

mutilation, upon cancellation of such note or other Loan Document, Borrower will
issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note or other Loan Document in the same
principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

      13.12 Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Bank
and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives
from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses that may
be incurred by or asserted against such indemnified party in connection with the
Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby including without
limitation in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense
of any pending or threatened claim, action, or proceeding; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be liable to any indemnified party for such claims,
damages, liabilities, and expenses resulting from such indemnified party's own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

            The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Bank
from and against any and all liabilities, claims, damages, penalties,
expenditures, losses, or charges, including, but not limited to, all costs of
investigation, monitoring, legal representation, remedial response, removal,
restoration or permit acquisition of any kind whatsoever, which may now or in
the future be undertaken, suffered, paid, awarded, assessed, or otherwise
incurred by the Bank relating to, resulting from or arising out of (a) actions
by the Borrower related to, or the use of the Improvements for, the storage,
treatment, generation, transportation, processing, handling, production or
disposal of any Hazardous Substance, (b) the presence of any Hazardous Substance
or a Release or the threat of a Release of any Hazardous Substance on, at or
from the Improvements, (c) the failure to undertake and pursue to completion all
legally authorized investigative, containment, removal, clean up and other
remedial actions with respect to a Release or the threat of a Release of any
Hazardous Substance on, at or from the Improvements, (d) exposure to any
Hazardous Substance to the extent the same arise from activities of the Borrower
or the condition of the Improvements or the ownership, use, operation, sale,
transfer or conveyance thereof, (e) a violation of any applicable Environmental
Law, or (f) non-compliance with any Environmental Permit, except to the extent
that such liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, expenditures, losses or
charges result from the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such
costs or other liabilities incurred by the Bank or other entity described in
this Section 13.12 shall be deemed to include, without limitation, any sums
which the Bank deems it necessary or desirable to expend to protect its security
interests and liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Borrower's liability and obligations under this Section 13.12 shall survive
the discharge, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement by the Bank and the
payment in full of all of the Obligations.

      13.13 Usury. All agreements between Borrower and Bank are hereby expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of
acceleration or maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise,
shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Bank for the use or the
forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible
under applicable law. 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 the Loan Documents shall be governed by such new law as of its effective
date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrower
and Bank in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Agreement to contract
in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in

                                       33
<PAGE>

effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provision hereof or of any of the Loan Documents at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity
prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from
any circumstances whatsoever Bank should ever receive as interest an amount
which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced
hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every
other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Bank.

      13.14 JURISDICTION/VENUE. BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT
IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN MONROE COUNTY OR ANY FEDERAL
COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH
COURT AND SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON BORROWER BY MAIL
AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH FOR NOTICES GIVEN UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BORROWER HEREBY
WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH
SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

      13.15 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. BORROWER AND BANK (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
AGREEMENT) MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE
RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF,
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR, ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BANK RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY
WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY
TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER
HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER
THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF BANK HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO
ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above written.

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LINE NOTE

$13,000,000.00                                                    July 12, 2005

            Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms in
this Revolving Line Note shall have the meanings given to them in the Amended
and Restated Credit Facility Agreement of even date herewith between the
undersigned, Graham Corporation ("Borrower") and Bank of America, N.A. ("Bank"),
as the same may be amended, extended, replaced, or modified from time to time
(the "Credit Agreement").

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, GRAHAM CORPORATION hereby promises to pay to the order
of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. at One East Avenue, Rochester, New York 14604, or at
such other places as Bank may specify in writing to Borrower, the principal sum
of Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000,000.00) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Revolving Line advances made by Bank to Borrower. The
Bank shall maintain a record of amounts of principal and interest payable by
Borrower from time to time, and the records of Bank maintained in the ordinary
course of business shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the Borrower's obligations recorded therein. In addition, Bank may mail or
deliver periodic statements to Borrower indicating the date and amount of each
advance hereunder (but any failure to do so shall not relieve Borrower of the
obligation to repay any advance). Unless Borrower questions the accuracy of an
entry on any periodic statement within thirty business days after such mailing
or delivery by Bank, Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted and be obligated
by the terms of each such periodic statement as accurately representing the
advances hereunder. In the event of transfer of this Revolving Line Note, or if
the Bank shall otherwise deem it appropriate, Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to
endorse on this Revolving Line Note the amount of advances and payments to
reflect the principal balance outstanding from time to time. Bank is hereby
authorized to honor borrowing and other requests received from purported
representatives of Borrower orally, by telecopy, in writing, or otherwise. Oral
requests shall be conclusively presumed to have been made by an authorized
person and Bank's crediting of Borrower's account with the amount requested
shall conclusively establish Borrower's obligation to repay the amount advanced.

            INTEREST. Outstanding amounts under this Revolving Line Note shall
bear interest, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, at a variable
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time minus the
Applicable Prime Rate Margin. Changes in the interest rate shall become
effective automatically and without notice at the time of changes in the Prime
Rate.

            The Borrower from time to time, however, may elect to have portions
of the principal outstanding under this Revolving Line Note bear interest at the
fixed per annum rate equal to the one-month, two-month, or three- month LIBOR
Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin for the period applicable to that rate by
giving at least two (2) business days' prior notice

                                       37
<PAGE>

in writing or by telecopy to the Bank. The notice shall specify (i) the rate
chosen, (ii) the outstanding principal amount to bear interest at the applicable
LIBOR Rate (with any outstanding amounts from time to time under this Revolving
Line Note, in excess of such specified amount, to bear interest at the rate
based upon the Prime Rate), and (iii) the commencement date for such rate. No
LIBOR Interest Period may be elected that would extend beyond the maturity date
of this Revolving Line Note. The rate of interest so elected shall be in effect
for the respective applicable LIBOR Interest Period. The Borrower shall be
responsible for all Break Costs including without limitation those applicable if
during any period in which a LIBOR based rate or rates is or are in effect, if
the principal amount outstanding under this Revolving Line Note bearing interest
at such respective rate or rates is ever less than the principal amount stated
in the respective election notice or notices for such period.

      Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and using the
actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall continue to accrue after maturity
(including after acceleration and judgment) at the rate required by this
Revolving Line Note until this Revolving Line Note is paid in full.

      The rate of interest on this Revolving Line Note may be increased under
the circumstances provided in the Credit Agreement. The right of Bank to receive
such increased rate of interest shall not constitute a waiver of any other right
or remedy of Bank.

      PAYMENTS. Payments of all accrued interest under this Revolving Line Note
shall be due on the first day of each month.

      All remaining outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and
payable in full upon the earlier of (a) at the option of the Bank, upon written
notice to Borrower, an Event of Default, or (b) the Revolving Line Termination
Date, provided that under certain circumstances, some or all of the principal
amounts outstanding under this Revolving Line Note may be converted to a Term
Loan in accordance with the terms of Article 4 of the Credit Agreement.

      In the event the Borrower becomes aware, or receives notice (oral or
written) from the Bank, that principal amounts outstanding under this Revolving
Line Note exceed the maximum available amount described herein at any time,
Borrower promptly shall make a principal payment to the Bank sufficient to
reduce outstanding principal amounts to the maximum amount available hereunder.

      All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at the address for Bank
first shown above in this Revolving Line Note or such other place as Bank may
from time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other
payments. All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees,
expenses and other amounts due to the Bank (excluding principal and interest),
then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal;
provided, however, that after an Event of Default or demand for payment in full,
payments will be applied to the obligations of Borrower to the Bank as Bank
determines in its sole discretion.

                                       38
<PAGE>

      LATE CHARGE. If the entire required amount of principal and/or interest is
not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due, Borrower shall pay
to Bank a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. Such late
charge shall be in addition to interest.

      PREPAYMENT. This Revolving Line Note is prepayable to the extent allowed
by, and on the terms provided by the Credit Agreement.

      MAXIMUM RATE. All agreements between Borrower and Bank are hereby
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration or maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or
otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Bank for the use or the
forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible
under applicable law. 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 Revolving Line Note shall be governed by such new law as of its
effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of
Borrower and Bank in the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Revolving
Line Note to contract in strict compliance with the laws of the State of New
York from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances
whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the documents and
agreements related hereto at the time performance of such provision shall be
due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by
applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be
reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from any circumstances
whatsoever Bank should ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the
highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be
applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to
the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of
all agreements between Borrower and Bank.

      BUSINESS DAYS. If this Revolving Line Note or any payment hereunder
becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, but any interest or fees shall be calculated based
upon the actual time of payment.

      EVENTS OF DEFAULT. This Revolving Line Note shall become immediately due
and payable in full, without further presentment, protest, notice or demand,
upon the happening of any Event of Default as provided in the Credit Agreement.

      DEFAULT RATE. Upon Default or after maturity or after judgment has been
rendered with respect to the Obligations, or upon an Event of Default, the
unpaid principal of all Obligations shall, at the option of the Bank, bear
interest at a rate which is four (4) percentage points per annum greater than
that which would otherwise be applicable.

      SET OFF. The Borrower hereby grants to Bank a continuing lien, security
interest, and right of set off as security for the Obligations, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank of
America Corporation and its successors and assigns or in transit to any of them.
At any time during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, without
demand or notice (any such notice being

                                       39
<PAGE>

expressly waived by Borrower), Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and
apply the same to any Obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and
regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS
RIGHT OF SET OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS, OR OTHER PROPERTY OF
BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

      MODIFICATION OF TERMS. The terms of this Revolving Line Note cannot be
changed, nor may this Revolving Line Note be discharged in whole or in part,
except by a writing executed by Bank. In the event that Bank demands or accepts
partial payments of this Revolving Line Note, such demand or acceptance shall
not be deemed to constitute a waiver of the right to demand the entire unpaid
balance of this Revolving Line Note at any time in accordance with the terms
hereof. Any delay or omission by Bank in exercising any rights hereunder shall
not operate as a waiver of such rights.

      COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable expenses
of Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, default, collection,
waiver or amendment of loan terms, or in connection with Bank's exercise,
preservation, or enforcement of any of its rights, remedies, or options
hereunder, including without limitation, fees of outside legal counsel or the
allocated costs of in-house legal counsel, accounting, consulting, brokerage or
similar professional fees or expenses, and any fees or expenses associated with
travel or other costs relating to any appraisals or examinations conducted in
connection with any loan or any collateral therefor, and the amount of all such
expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal
hereunder (including any default rate) and be an obligation secured by any
collateral.

      ASSIGNMENT/PARTICIPATION. All the terms and provisions of this Revolving
Line Note shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder hereof.

      The Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Revolving Line Note to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks
organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No
such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release Bank from its
obligations under any of this Revolving Line Note or any other loan documents.

      The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to
time, and without Borrower's consent, to assign all or any portion of its rights
and obligations hereunder to one or more banks or other financial institutions
(each an "Assignee"), and Borrower agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be
executed, such documents, including without limitation, amendments to this
Revolving Line Note and to any other loan documents, as the Bank shall deem
necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of the Bank and
any such Assignee, Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as
applicable, to any such Assignee and, if Bank

                                       40
<PAGE>

has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such
assignment, to Bank, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement
of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the promissory note held
by Bank prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective
commitments and loans held by such Assignee and Bank after giving effect to such
assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment
documentation, amendments, and any other documentation required by Bank in
connection with such assignment, and the payment by Assignee of the purchase
price agreed to by Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to
this agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Bank
hereunder (and under any and all other loan documents) to the extent that such
rights and obligations have been assigned by the Bank pursuant to the assignment
documentation between the Bank and such Assignee, and Bank shall be released
from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent.

      The Bank shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to
time, and without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to grant to one or more
banks or other financial institutions (each a "Participant") participating
interests in Bank's obligation to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the loans
held by Bank hereunder. In the event of any such grant by Bank of a
participating interest to Participant, whether or not upon notice to Borrower,
Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder
and Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Bank in connection
with Bank's rights and obligations hereunder.

      The Bank may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession
from time to time to prospective Assignees and Participants, provided that the
Bank shall require any such prospective Assignee or Participant to agree in
writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

      LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Bank as
to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Revolving Line Note, and,
in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon
cancellation of this Revolving Line Note, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof,
a replacement note or other loan document in the same principal amount thereof
and otherwise of like tenor.

      REGULATION U. No portion of the proceeds of this Revolving Line Note shall
be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
"margin stock" as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System.

      MISCELLANEOUS. To the fullest extent permissible by law, Borrower waives
presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, and, except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all other demands or notices
otherwise required by law in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Revolving Line Note. Borrower
consents to extensions, postponements, indulgences, substitutions or releases of
collateral, and substitutions or releases of other parties primarily or
secondarily liable herefor, and agrees that none of the same shall affect
Borrower's obligations under this Revolving Line Note which shall be
unconditional.

      ENFORCEMENT/WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS REVOLVING LINE NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY
BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN MONROE COUNTY OR
ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF SUCH COURT. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

      BORROWER AND BANK (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS REVOLVING LINE NOTE) MUTUALLY
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN

COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BANK RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS REVOLVING LINE NOTE OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY
OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS
PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR
RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF BANK HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR
BANK TO ACCEPT THIS REVOLVING LINE NOTE AND MAKE THE LOANS CONTEMPLATED
HEREUNDER.

                                 TERM LOAN NOTE

$___________________                                   Date:  ___________, 200_

      Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms in this
Term Loan Note shall have the meanings given to them in the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility Agreement dated July __, 2005, between the undersigned, GRAHAM
CORPORATION ("Borrower") and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. ("Bank"), as amended on the
date hereof and as the same may be additionally amended, extended, replaced, or
modified from time to time (the "Credit Agreement").

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Bank the
principal sum of____________________________ ($___________________________).

                  INTEREST. Outstanding amounts under this Term Loan Note shall
bear interest, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, at a variable
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time minus the
Applicable Prime Rate Margin. Changes in the interest rate shall become
effective automatically and without notice at the time of changes in the Prime
Rate.

            The Borrower from time to time, however, may elect to have portions
of the principal outstanding under this Term Loan Note bear interest at the
fixed per annum rate equal to the one-month, two-month, or three- month LIBOR
Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Margin for the period applicable to that rate by
giving at least two (2) business days' prior notice in writing or by telecopy to
the Bank. The notice shall specify (i) the rate chosen, (ii) the outstanding
principal amount to bear interest at the applicable LIBOR Rate (with any
outstanding amounts from time to time under this Term Loan Note, in excess of
such specified amount, to bear interest at the rate based upon the Prime Rate),
and (iii) the commencement date for such rate. No LIBOR Interest Period may be
elected that would extend beyond the maturity date of this Term Loan Note. The
rate of interest so elected shall be in effect for the respective applicable
LIBOR Interest Period. The Borrower shall be responsible for all Break Costs
including without limitation those applicable if during any period in which a
LIBOR based rate or rates is or are in effect, if the principal amount
outstanding under this Term Loan Note bearing interest at such respective rate
or rates is ever less than the principal amount stated in the respective
election notice or notices for such period.

      Interest shall continue to accrue after maturity, acceleration, and
judgment at the rate required hereby until this Term Loan Note is paid in full.
All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty
(360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

                                       43
<PAGE>

      The rate of interest on this Term Loan Note may be increased under the
circumstances provided in the Credit Agreement. The right of Bank to receive
such increased rate of interest shall not constitute a waiver of any other right
or remedy of Bank.

      PAYMENTS. Payments of all accrued interest under this Term Loan Note shall
be due on the first day of each month, commencing on __________, 20__. In
addition, monthly principal payments, each equal to $____________, shall be due
on the first day of each month, commencing on ___________, 20__. All remaining
outstanding principal and accrued interest under this Term Loan Note shall be
due and payable in full on_______________________.

      All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at the address for Bank
first shown above or such other place as Bank may from time to time specify in
writing in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately
available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and
without deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.

      All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses
and other amounts due to the Bank (excluding principal and interest), then to
accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided,
however, that after default, payments will be applied to the obligations of
Borrower to Bank as Bank determines in its sole discretion.

      LATE CHARGE. If the entire amount of any required principal and/or
interest payment is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due,
Borrower shall pay to the Bank a late fee equal to five percent (5%) of the
overdue amount.

      PREPAYMENT. This Term Loan Note is prepayable to the extent allowed by,
and on the terms provided by the Credit Agreement.

      MAXIMUM RATE. All agreements between Borrower and Bank are hereby
expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or
otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Bank for the use or the
forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum permissible
under applicable law. 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 Note shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date. In this
regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank in the
execution, delivery and acceptance of this Note to contract in strict compliance
with the laws of the State of New York from time to time in effect. If, under or
from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any
of the related loan documents or security documents at the time of performance
of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such
validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if, under or from
circumstances whatsoever Bank should ever receive as interest an amount which
would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance evidenced
hereby and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every
other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Bank.

<PAGE>

      HOLIDAYS. If this Note or any payment hereunder becomes due on a Saturday,
Sunday or other holiday on which Bank is authorized to close, the due date for
the Note or payment shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, but
any interest or fees shall be calculated based upon the actual time of payment.

      EVENTS OF DEFAULT. This Term Loan Note shall become immediately due and
payable in full, without further presentment, protest, notice, or demand, upon
the happening of any Event of Default as provided in the Credit Agreement.

      DEFAULT RATE. Upon any Default or after maturity or after judgment has
been rendered with respect to the Obligations, or upon an Event of Default, the
unpaid principal of all Obligations shall, at the option the Bank, bear interest
at a rate which is four (4) percentage points per annum greater than that which
would otherwise be applicable.

      SET-OFF. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and
right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to Bank, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits,
collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody,
safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank of
America Corporation, its successors and assigns, or in transit to any of them.
At any time during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, without
demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the
same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and
regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Loan. ANY AND
ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO
ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF
SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER
OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

      MODIFICATION OF TERMS. The terms of this Term Loan Note cannot be changed,
nor may this Note be discharged in whole or in part, except by a writing
executed by Bank. In the event that Bank demands or accepts partial payments of
this Term Loan Note, such demand or acceptance shall not be deemed to constitute
a waiver of the right to demand the entire unpaid balance of this Term Loan Note
at any time in accordance with the terms hereof. Any delay or omission by Bank
in exercising any rights hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such rights.

      MISCELLANEOUS. To the fullest extent permissible by law, Borrower waives
presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of non-payment, and except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all other demands or notices
otherwise required by law in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default, or enforcement of this Term Loan Note. Borrower consents
to extensions, postponements, indulgences, substitutions or releases of
collateral, and substitutions or releases of other parties primarily or
secondarily liable herefor, and agrees that none of the same shall affect
Borrower's obligations under this Term Loan Note which shall be unconditional.

      COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay on demand all reasonable expenses of
Bank in connection with the preparation, administration, default, collection,
waiver or amendment of loan

                                       45

of its rights, remedies or options hereunder, including, without limitation,

accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees or
expenses, and any fees or expenses associated with travel or other costs
relating to any appraisals of examinations conducted in connection with the loan
evidenced by this Term Loan Note of any collateral therefor, and the amount of
all such expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to
principal hereunder (including any default rate) and be an obligation secured by
any collateral.

      LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Bank as
to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Term Loan Note, and, in
the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation
of this Term Loan Note, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement note
in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

      CHOICE OF LAW. This Term Loan Note, and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder, shall be construed, interpreted, governed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York (excluding the laws applicable
to conflicts or choice of law).

      ENFORCEMENT/WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THIS TERM LOAN NOTE MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK LOCATED IN MONROE COUNTY OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND
CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND SERVICE OF PROCESS
IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH FOR
NOTICES GIVEN UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH
COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

      BORROWER AND BANK (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS TERM LOAN NOTE) MUTUALLY HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS NEW TERM LOAN NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,
COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY
PARTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS,
STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BANK RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NEITHER PARTY WILL SEEK TO
CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT
BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL ,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN
ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT,
OR ATTORNEY OF BANK HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD
NOT, IN THE

                                       46

EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS
WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO ACCEPT THIS TERM LOAN NOTE
AND MAKE THE LOAN CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER.

Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

     This Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made the 13th day of July 2005 (the “Effective
Date”) between ProLogis (“ProLogis”) and John W. Seiple, Jr. (“Executive”);

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, ProLogis has entered into that certain Merger Agreement dated as of June 5, 2005 with
Palmtree Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Catellus Development Corporation (the “Merger
Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, ProLogis and Executive have agreed that Executive’s employment with ProLogis will
terminate as of midnight December 31, 2005 (the “Termination Date”) and will be announced at
ProLogis’s discretion on or prior to January 1, 2006 and that, during the period beginning on the
Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date (the “Continuing Service Period”), Executive will
provide certain consulting services to ProLogis and will participate in certain integration
activities relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”); and

     WHEREAS, ProLogis has determined that it is appropriate to provide certain separation benefits
to Executive in connection with his termination and as consideration for Executive’s release of
claims against ProLogis and its affiliates;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, it is
hereby agreed and covenanted by ProLogis and Executive as follows:

     1. Duties. Executive hereby agrees that, for the portion of the Continuing Service
Period prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Pre-Merger Service Period”), Executive shall
have the same title with ProLogis as he had immediately prior to the Effective Date but he shall
provide only those services expressly requested from time to time by the Chief Executive Officer of
ProLogis (the “CEO”); provided, however, that during the Pre-Merger Service Period, Executive’s
service commitment shall not exceed his service commitment immediately prior to the Effective Date
and, during such period, he will not be assigned duties that are materially inconsistent with his
duties for ProLogis immediately prior to the Effective Date (although the duties that he is
requested to perform may be fewer than those he performed immediately prior to the Effective Date).
As of the effective time of the Merger, Executive shall resign his officer title and
responsibilities with ProLogis and, for the portion of the Continuing Service Period beginning at
the effective time of the Merger, he shall remain an employee of ProLogis through midnight of
December 31, 2005 but, during such period, he shall only be requested to provide advice relating
to, and shall be available for consultation regarding, ProLogis’s North American development
activities, market trends and integration activities relating to the Merger to the extent requested
by the CEO. The resignation by Executive of his officer title and responsibilities shall not
affect any benefits or entitlements due Executive under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the CEO may, at any time during the Continuing Service Period, request that Executive
cease to perform any or all duties for ProLogis and/or that he provide any or all of his duties
from a location other than on the premises of ProLogis or any of its affiliates;

 

 

provided, however, that the performance or non-performance of duties by Executive shall not
affect ProLogis’s obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to its obligation to
make payments or provide benefits to Executive pursuant to this Agreement.

     2. Payments. In exchange for Executive’s performance of services under this Agreement
and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, he shall be entitled to the following
payments and benefits:

	 	(a)	 	For the Continuing Service Period, Executive shall continue to be paid his base
salary as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and he shall continue to
participate in ProLogis employee benefit plans and programs in which he participated
immediately prior to the Effective Date subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Executive shall be paid $350,000 (the “Target Bonus”) which shall be in full
satisfaction of any annual target performance bonus to which he may otherwise be
entitled under ProLogis’s annual performance bonus program. The Target Bonus shall be
paid to Executive in January, 2006.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The 18,000 performance share awards granted to Executive under the ProLogis
1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) in 2004 and described as Performance Shares
Earned 12/31/05 in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference,
shall be deemed earned and fully vested as of the Effective Date as though all
performance targets applicable thereto had been met. The foregoing performance share
awards will be settled in January, 2006.
	 
	 	(d)	 	To the extent not previously vested pursuant to the terms thereof, all
equity-based awards granted to Executive under the LTIP, and all outstanding stock
options, performance share awards and restricted shares (including any dividend
equivalent units attributable thereto), that are granted or awarded under the
respective agreements as of the Effective Date shall be deemed fully earned and vested
as of the Effective Date. These awards include the Stock Options, Restricted Shares
and Performance Share set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and any similar awards
previously granted or awarded to Executive prior to the Effective Date. With respect
to all stock options, Executive shall have until December 31, 2006 to exercise such
stock option awards. All restricted shares and performance shares will be settled in
January, 2006.
	 
	 	(e)	 	As soon as practicable after December 31, 2005 but in no event later than
January 31, 2006, Executive shall be paid a $2.5 million cash payment.
	 
	 	(f)	 	ProLogis agrees to allow Executive to direct the distribution of performance shares and restricted shares to a family trust or similar entity, to the extent
permitted for similarly situated executives under the terms of the LTIP.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Executive be entitled to

2

 

release of claims in the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Release”) and such Release becomes
effective. The Release is hereby incorporated into this Agreement and forms a part of this
Agreement.

     3. Confidential Information; Other Obligations of Executive.

	 	(a)	 	Executive agrees that, during the Continuing Service Period and at all times
thereafter:

	 	(i)	 	Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or
agency of competent jurisdiction, except as necessary to carry out his duties
to ProLogis and its affiliates, or except to the extent that Executive has
express authorization from ProLogis, Executive agrees to keep secret and
confidential indefinitely, all Confidential Information, and not to disclose
the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm, or business
entity, or to use it in any way.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	To the extent that any court or agency seeks to have Executive
disclose Confidential Information, he shall promptly inform ProLogis, and he
shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential
Information until ProLogis has been informed of such requested disclosure, and
ProLogis has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. To the extent
that Executive obtains information on behalf of ProLogis or any of its
affiliates that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to ProLogis’s
attorneys, Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the
confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3(a)
shall be construed so as to prevent Executive from using, in connection with
his employment for himself or an employer other than ProLogis or any of its
affiliates, knowledge which was acquired by him during the course of his
employment with ProLogis and its affiliates, and which is generally known to
persons of his experience in other companies in the same industry.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential
Information” shall include all non-public information (including, without
limitation, information regarding litigation and pending litigation) concerning
ProLogis and its affiliates which was acquired by or disclosed to Executive
during the course of his employment with ProLogis.

	 	(b)	 	Prior to each of the Effective Date and the Date of Termination , Executive
shall ensure that he has submitted proper documentation evidencing all of the vacation
and personal time taken by him during the 2005 calendar year prior to the Effective
Date and/or Date of Termination, as applicable, and, prior to each of the Effective
Date and the Date of Termination, he shall submit documentation for

3

 

	 	 	 	business expenses that are subject to reimbursement by ProLogis for all periods
prior to the Effective Date and/or Date of Termination, as applicable.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Prior to the Date of Termination or upon the earlier request of ProLogis,
Executive will promptly return to ProLogis any and all records, documents, physical
property, information or other materials relating to the business of ProLogis and its
affiliates obtained by him during the course of his employment with ProLogis; provided,
however, that Executive shall be entitled to retain his cell phone telephone number and
ProLogis hereby conveys any ownership rights that ProLogis may have to such number to
Executive.

     4. Noncompetition. For the Restricted Period (as defined below), Executive will not,
without ProLogis’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, for Executive’s own account or
for or on behalf of any other person or entity, whether alone or as principal, agent, officer,
director, employee, partner, employer, consultant, investor, or otherwise:

	 	(a)	 	engage or participate in, assist in the management of, provide advisory or
other services to, own any stock or any other ownership interest in, or make any
financial investment in any business or entity which is Competitive with ProLogis (as
defined below) or purchase any property which could reasonably be used to provide or
develop a business that is Competitive with ProLogis; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	solicit or attempt to hire or employ, in any fashion (whether as an employee,
independent contractor or otherwise), any employee of ProLogis or its affiliates, or
solicit or induce, or attempt to solicit or induce, any of ProLogis’s or its
affiliates’ employees, consultants, clients, customers, vendors, suppliers or
independent contractors to terminate their relationship with ProLogis and/or its
affiliates; provided, however, that Executive shall not be considered to have violated
this paragraph 4(b) if a subsequent employer of Executive engages in any activity
prohibited by this paragraph without Executive’s participation. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, Executive shall be considered to have “participated” in an action
if he personally engages in the prohibited activity or if his employer engages in a
prohibited activity and Executive has knowledge of it and personally engages in the
prohibited activity, including by providing advice, guidance or a referral relating to
the prohibited activity.
	 
	 	(c)	 	For purposes of this Agreement,

	 	(i)	 	For purposes of paragraph 4(a), the term “Restricted Period”
shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December
31, 2006.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For purposes of paragraph 4(b), the term “Restricted Period”
shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December
31, 2007.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	During the portion of the Restricted Period that occurs during
the Continuing Service Period, a business or entity shall be considered

4

 

	 	 	 	“Competitive with ProLogis” if it engages in any of the businesses in which
ProLogis or any of its affiliates engages, including the business of owning,
managing, developing, leasing or operating bulk distribution and warehouse
properties or the design of business strategies for such purpose.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	During the portion of the Restricted Period following the
Continuing Service Period, a business entity shall be considered “Competitive
with ProLogis” if it is a public or private business that focuses primarily on
the ownership, management, development, leasing or operation of bulk
distribution or warehouse properties with a market capitalization or total
assets of at least $1.5 billion.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Executive’s ownership of no more than 5% of any class of
securities of any publicly traded company shall not be treated as breach of the
provisions of paragraph 4(a).

     5. Equitable Remedies. Executive acknowledges that ProLogis would be irreparably
injured by a violation of paragraph 3(a) or Section 4 and he agrees that ProLogis, in addition to
any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, shall be entitled to a
preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining
Executive from any actual or threatened breach of either paragraph 3(a) or Section 4. If a bond is
required to be posted in order for ProLogis to secure an injunction or other equitable remedy, the
parties agree that said bond need not be more than a nominal sum.

     6. Indemnity. Executive shall be entitled to indemnity from (a) all third party
claims and (b) coverage under the directors and officers liability insurance coverage maintained by
ProLogis (as in effect from time to time), each to the same extent as other current or former
officers and directors of ProLogis; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6 shall be
construed to require ProLogis to continue to maintain any such directors and officers liability
insurance coverage.

     7. Nonalienation. The interests of Executive under this Agreement are not subject in
any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment, or garnishment by creditors of Executive or Executive’s beneficiary. Nothing in this
paragraph 7 shall limit the Executive’s rights or powers to dispose of his property by will or
limit any rights or powers which his executor or administrator would otherwise have.

     8. Withholding. All payments and benefits under this Agreement are subject to
withholding of all applicable taxes; provided, however, that with respect to any stock
distributions, in lieu of any withholding from such distributions, Executive shall have the option
to pay ProLogis directly for amounts that would otherwise be withheld from such distributions to
the extent that Executive had such right prior to the Effective Date.

     9. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or cancelled only by mutual agreement of
the parties in writing without the consent of any other person. So long as Executive lives, no
person, other than the parties hereto, shall have any rights under or interest in this Agreement or
the subject matter hereof.

5

 

     10. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Colorado, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any
state.

     11. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement,
and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted
(but only to the extent that such provision cannot be appropriately reformed or modified).

     12. Waiver of Breach. No waiver by either party hereto of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement by the other party, or of compliance with any condition or provision of this
Agreement to be performed by such other party, will operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach by such other party of any similar or dissimilar provisions and conditions at the
same or any prior or subsequent time. The failure of either party hereto to take any action by
reason of such breach will not deprive such party of the right to take action at any time while
such breach continues.

     13. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of,
ProLogis and its successors and assigns and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger,
consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of ProLogis’s assets and
business, and the successor shall be substituted for ProLogis under this Agreement.

     14. Arbitration of All Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to this Agreement (or the breach thereof) shall be settled by final, binding and non-appealable
arbitration in Colorado by three arbitrators. Except as provided in this Section 14, the
arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association
(the “Association”) then in effect. One of the arbitrators shall be appointed by ProLogis, one
shall be appointed by Executive, and the third shall be appointed by the first two arbitrators. If
the first two arbitrators cannot agree on the third arbitrator within 30 days of the appointment of
the second arbitrator, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the Association.

     15. Fees and Expenses. If either party hereto retains counsel for the purpose of
enforcing any provision of this Agreement or defending against any allegations of any breach of
this Agreement by the other party, then the prevailing party shall be entitled to be reimbursed by
the other party for all costs and expenses incurred thereby, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Any reimbursement pursuant to this Section 15 shall be
made by the party responsible therefore promptly upon submission by the prevailing party to the
non-prevailing party of appropriate documentation evidencing the costs and expenses to be
reimbursed pursuant to this Section 15.

     16. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement,
including any Exhibit(s) hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, if any, between
the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, the Executive
Protection Agreement.

6

 

     17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Executive has hereunto set his hand and ProLogis has caused these presents
to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the date and year first above written.
