ARTICLE 2. THE LOAN

Section 2.01. General Terms.

(A)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will lend to Borrower the principal sum of up to $10,000,000 on a revolving basis. Lender shall make Advances under such Loan from time to time until the Maturity Date.

(B)Subject to the terms hereof, Borrower may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and reborrow under the Loan, from the date of this Agreement until the Maturity Date. If at any time the unpaid principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Commitment, Borrower shall immediately and without demand pay such sums to Lender as are necessary to reduce the principal balance of the Loan to not more than the Commitment.

Section 2.02. The Note. On the date hereof, Borrower will execute and deliver the Note to Lender to evidence Borrower’s Obligations to repay the Loan and the interest thereon.

Section 2.03. Use of Proceeds; Disbursement of the Loan. Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loan solely (a) for general working capital purposes, (b) to reimburse Lender for any expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Loan, and (c) to otherwise pay Lender sums due to Lender under this Agreement or the other instruments, agreements and documents related to this Agreement.

Section 2.04. Payments of Principal. If not earlier demanded pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of each Advance made under the Loan shall be due and payable to Lender on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.05. Interest Rate and Payments of Interest.

(A)Interest shall be calculated and paid as follows:

(1)Interest on the principal balance of the Loan from time to time outstanding will be payable at a per annum rate (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the greater of (i) the Prime

{BH489438.3}

Rate in effect from time to time; or (ii) a floor rate of three and twenty-five hundredths percent (3.25%).

(2)Each time a change to the Prime Rate occurs, the Interest Rate shall change concurrently with such change in the Prime Rate.

(3)Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, by multiplying the product of the principal amount outstanding and the applicable rate by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing by 360, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the 1^st day of each and every calendar quarter (that is, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1) commencing with the first calendar quarter following the first Advance and continuing on the 1^st day of each calendar quarter thereafter until the outstanding principal balance of all Advances have been repaid in full, with the final payment of accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Maturity Date.

(B)If, at any time, the Interest Rate shall be deemed by any competent Governmental Authority to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Laws, then, for such time as the Interest Rate would be deemed excessive, its application shall be suspended and there shall be charged instead the maximum rate of interest permissible under such Laws.

Section 2.06. Payment to Lender. All sums payable to Lender under the Loan shall be paid directly to Lender in United States Dollars and immediately available funds. If Lender shall send to Borrower statements of amounts due hereunder, such statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on Borrower unless Borrower notifies Lender to the contrary within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect. Alternatively, at its sole discretion, Lender may charge against any deposit account of Borrower all or any part of any amount due hereunder.

Section 2.07. Late Fee/Default Rate of Interest. Borrower promises to pay to Lender a late fee equal to three percent (3.00%) of the amount of each installment of principal and/or installment of interest which is received more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof; provided, however, that such late fee shall not be less than $20.00 nor more than the maximum amount (if any) permitted by law. The principal balance of the Loan outstanding after maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to two percent (2.00%) plus the otherwise applicable Interest Rate and shall be calculated pursuant to Section 2.05 hereof. This section does not extend any payment due date expressly stated in this Agreement or any Collateral Document and does not in any way prevent or estop Lender from requiring that payments be made by Borrower strictly when due. Unless accepted by Lender, and unless accompanied by all other amounts then due to Lender, the tender of such payment by Borrower shall not cure the Default arising from the payment default upon which such late charge was assessed.

Section 2.08. Non-Use Fee. Borrower shall pay on an annual basis in arrears to Lender a non-use fee equal to .10% (10 bps) multiplied by the average unused principal amount of the Commitment for the applicable 12-month period (the “Non-Use Fee”), which amount shall be payable no later than 15 days following the first anniversary date of this Agreement. The Non-Use Fee shall be waived if (i) as of the date of calculation, no Default or Potential Default shall

{BH489438.3}

have occurred and be continuing and (ii) Borrower has been obligated under the Loan for $5,000,000 or more for at least six (6) consecutive calendar months of each applicable twelve (12) month period for the life of the Loan.

{BH489438.3}

full extent permitted by applicable Laws, at Lender’s option, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral in any lawful manner.

{BH489438.3}

and Borrower hereby grants to each such participating bank, to the extent of its participation in the Loan, the right to set off deposit accounts maintained by Borrower with such bank.

Section 8.08Applicable Law; Jurisdiction and Venue.
