between VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and WELLS FARGO BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”).

RECITALS

     A. Bank and Borrower previously entered into that certain Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement dated as of January 27, 2004 (as amended from time to time, the “Prior Credit
Agreement”), pursuant to which Bank extended to Borrower a line of credit, with a subfeature
for the issuance of letters of credit (the letters of credit issued thereunder and outstanding on
the date hereof, the “Prior Letters of Credit”), and made certain term loans.

     B. Bank and Borrower wish to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety with
this Agreement to evidence the extension to Borrower of the credit accommodations described below
on the terms and conditions contained herein.

     C. Terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Annex A, and, for
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in
Annex A shall govern.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

CREDIT TERMS

Section 1.1. Line Of Credit.

     (a) Line of Credit. During the Line of Credit Period, Bank hereby agrees, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make advances (“Advances”) to Borrower from
time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum
Line of Credit Amount minus the Letter of Credit Usage (“Line of Credit”). The proceeds of
all advances made hereby shall be used to finance Borrower’s working capital requirements and for
other lawful purposes consistent with the provisions hereof. Borrower’s obligation to repay
advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form
of Exhibit A attached hereto (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are
incorporated herein by this reference.

     (b) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees
from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue sight commercial
or standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and
collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, Bank shall have no obligation to
issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested
Letter of Credit: (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000, or (ii) the Letter of
Credit

1

 

Usage would exceed the Maximum Line of Credit Amount less the then extant amount of
outstanding Advances. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval
by Bank, in its sole discretion. Each commercial Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not
to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, as designated by Borrower; provided, however, that no
commercial Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the Line of Credit
Termination Date. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term not to exceed twelve
(12) months, as designated by Borrower; provided, however, that no standby Letter of Credit shall
have an expiration date subsequent to the Line of Credit Termination Date. Each Letter of Credit
shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements,
applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof.
Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an Advance under the Line of Credit and
shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
applicable to such advances; provided, however, that if Advances under the Line of Credit are not
available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to
Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to
the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances
under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may
debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing. All Prior
Letters of Credit which are outstanding as of the date hereof shall be deemed “Letters of Credit”
hereunder.

     (c) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the Line of Credit
Period borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all
of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided,
however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time
exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above.

Section 1.2. Interest/Fees.

     (a)  Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit shall bear
interest at the rate of interest set forth in the Line of Credit Note.

     (b) Computation and Payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year, actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable at the times and place set forth in each
promissory note or other instrument or document required hereby.

     (c) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank an unused commitment fee on the
15th day of the month immediately following each fiscal quarter end in an amount equal to 0.25% per
annum times the result of (i) the Maximum Line of Credit Amount, less (ii) the sum of (A) the
average daily balance of Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding quarter,
plus (B) the average daily balance of Letters of Credit outstanding during the immediately
preceding quarter.

     (d) Standby Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees upon the
issuance of each standby Letter of Credit equal to 2.0% per annum (computed on the basis of a
360-day year, actual days elapsed) of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or
negotiation of each drawing under any standby Letter of Credit and fees upon the occurrence of

2

 

any other activity with respect to any standby Letter of Credit (including without limitation,
the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any standby Letter of Credit) determined in accordance
with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity.

     (e) Commercial Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank fees upon the
issuance of each commercial Letter of Credit, upon the payment or negotiation by Bank of each draft
under any commercial Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to
any commercial Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or
cancellation of any commercial Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees
and charges then in effect for such activity.

     (f) Collateral Audits; Appraisals.

     (i) Borrower shall pay to Bank its customary fees plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses for each financial or collateral analysis and examination (i.e., audit) of Borrower
and its Subsidiaries performed by personnel employed by Bank (or the actual charges paid or
incurred by Bank if it elects to employ the services of one or more Persons to perform such
audits); provided, however that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse Bank the fees and costs of more
than one (1) audit in any fiscal year.

     (ii) Bank shall have the right to have the Equipment and the Real Property Collateral
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries appraised from time to time by a qualified appraiser
selected by Bank. Borrower shall pay to Bank its customary fees plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses for each appraisal conducted by personnel employed by Bank (or the
actual charges paid or incurred by Bank if it elects to employ the services of one or more
third Persons to appraise the Equipment and Real Property Collateral of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries).

Section 1.3. Collection Of Payments.

     Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all interest and fees due under the Line of Credit by
charging Borrower’s deposit account number 4648-052785 with Bank, or any other deposit account
maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds
in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall
be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

5

Section 7.11. Arbitration.

     (a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to
binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their
respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract
or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which
are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization,
administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement,
enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

     (b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in
California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by
the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting
choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the
AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the
AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least
$1,000,000 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration
shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial
disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional

20

 

procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the
“Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms
and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to
arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by
such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C.
§91 or any similar applicable state law.

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

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

     (e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in
accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant
to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date
and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of
the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final

21

 

determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for
the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

     (f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding
and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

     (g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and
expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness
secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of
the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the
arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue
to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Consolidated
EBITDA for any relevant period shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately
following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(f); provided,
however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such
Section, then Pricing Tier 1 shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such
Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered. The Applicable Margin in effect from
the Closing Date through the date that the Compliance Certificate (and audited financial

1

 

statements) required to be delivered for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 is delivered to
Bank shall be determined based upon Pricing Tier 1.

     (b) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing for
one (1), two (2), three (3), six (6), nine (9) or twelve (12) months, as designated by Borrower,
during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest
determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a
principal amount less than $1,000,000; and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend
beyond the Line of Credit Termination Date. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not
a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

     (c) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest
whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	LIBOR =
	 	Base LIBOR	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 

100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
	 	 

     (i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits
quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate
is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans
making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on
said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate
Term and in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate
Term applies. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the
Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank
Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate
offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

     (ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency
Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted
by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate
Term.

     (d) “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced within
Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one
of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated
for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its
announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.

INTEREST:

     (a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) at a
fixed rate per annum determined by Bank equal to LIBOR in effect on the first day of the

2

 

applicable Fixed Rate Term plus the Applicable Margin. When interest is determined in
relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on
the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR selection
hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed
Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either
manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations
shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

     (b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed
Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation
to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any
portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert
all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate
Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to
select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the
end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate
option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR
selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term; provided, however, that if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may not elect to continue or convert any Advance
outstanding hereunder into a LIBOR rate loan. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such
other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection,
(A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than
three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to
10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if
Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a
fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank,
the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a
redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is
made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower
shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal
amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

     (c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand,
in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings,
interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed
by any Governmental Authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental,
emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any Governmental
Authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority and related in any manner
to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of
the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable
allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

     (d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first
day of each month, commencing March 1, 2008.

     (e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier
date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the
outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased
rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent
(4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

     (a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this
Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of
the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with
or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note
shall not at any time exceed the principal amount set forth above or such lesser amount as shall at
any time be available hereunder, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The unpaid principal
balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder
hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may
be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note
shall be due and payable in full on Line of Credit Termination Date.

     (b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated
above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of (i) Robert A. Virtue, Robert
Dose, Doug Virtue or Bassey Yau, any one of them acting alone, who are authorized to request
Advances and direct the disposition of any Advances until written notice of the revocation of such
authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with
respect to Advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances,
when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of
Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request Advances may
have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine
whether any person requesting an Advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

     (c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first,
to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments
credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note
which bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the
outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR,
with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first.

PREPAYMENT:

     (a) Prime Rate. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears
interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty.

4

 

     (b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears
interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of $1,000,000;
provided, however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less
than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance
thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such
portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed
Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately
upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the
month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows
for each such month:

     (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount
prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the
last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.

     (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which
would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such
Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such
term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.

     (iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that
difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

     Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional
costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such
costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above described
prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment
costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due,
the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two
percent (2%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360 day
year, actual days elapsed). Each change in the rate of interest on any such past due prepayment
fee shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank.

     (c) The principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable as follows and without set
off, counterclaim or reduction of any kind:

     (i) the amount, if any, by which the LC Usage Amount at any time exceeds the Maximum
Line of Credit Amount at such date shall be payable immediately; and

     (ii) the principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable on the Line of Credit
Termination Date

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

     Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined
event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this
Note.

5

 

MISCELLANEOUS:

     (a) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this
Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.

     (b) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.
