Principal Amount: $508,000.00 Date of Note: July 21, 2006
PROMISE TO PAY. Procyon Corporation ("Borrower") promises to pay to Bank of
America, N.A. ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United States of
America, the principal amount of Five Hundred Eight Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($508,000.00), together with interest at the rate of 7.250% per annum on the
unpaid principal balance from July 21, 2006, until paid in full.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in 180 payments of $4,668.41 each payment.
Borrower's first payment is due August 21. 2006, and all subsequent payments are
due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower's final payment will be
due on July 21, 2021, and will be for all principal and all accrued interest not
yet paid. Payments include principal and interest. Unless otherwise agreed or
required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid
interest; then to principal; then to any late charges; and then to any unpaid
collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a
365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by
the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will
pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may
designate in writing.
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the
following prepayment penalty: Borrower may prepay up to twenty percent (20%) of
the face amount of this Note in any Annual Period without the payment of a
prepayment fee or premium. "Annual Period" means the period commencing on the
date of this Note and ending twelve (12) months thereafter, and each subsequent
twelve-month period. Prepayments in any Annual Period which exceed, in the
aggregate, twenty percent (20%) of the face amount of this Note ("Excess
Prepayments") must be accompanied by payment of a prepayment fee as follows:
During the first Annual Period, 5% of the Excess Prepayments;
During the second Annual Period, 4% of the Excess Prepayments;
During the third Annual Period, 3% of the Excess Prepayments;
During the fourth Annual Period, 2% of the Excess Prepayments;
During the fifth Annual Period, 1% of the Excess Prepayments.
No prepayment fee will be assessed after the fifth Annual Period. Partial
prepayments shall be applied to the most remote payment of principal due under
this Note. Except for the foregoing, Borrower may pay all or a portion of the
amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make
payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the
principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments.
Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without
recourse", or similar language. if Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower
will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment
instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the
amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full
satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: Bank of
America, N.A.; CCS-Small Business/Premier; FL9-100-03-15; X.X. Xxx 00000;
Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
4.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,
increase the interest rate on this Note 6.000 percentage points, if and to the
extent that the increase does not cause the interest rate to exceed the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law.

Default") under this Note:

Note.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,

to repay this Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any
of the related documents.

proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the

(a) This Dispute Resolution Provision concerns the resolution of any
controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort
or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise
out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or
modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a
"Claim"). For the purposes of this Dispute Resolution Provision only, the term
"parties" shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of
Lender involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation
described or evidenced by this agreement.
(b) At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved
by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9,
U.S. Code) (the "Act"). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides
that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services
disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof
("AAA"), and the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision. In the event of any
inconsistency, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision shall control. If
AAA is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii)
enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Lender may designate
another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the
provider of arbitration.
(d) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise
required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property
collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the
state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall
be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars

days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of
commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty
(30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a
showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an
additional sixty (601 days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to
any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and have judgment entered and
enforced.
(e) The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining
any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred.
For purposes of the application of any statutes of limitation, the service on
AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the
filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or
whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s), except

or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral;
(iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of
law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief,
writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary
remedies.

right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal
of the Claim to arbitration.
(h) Any arbitration or trial by a judge of any Claim will take place on an
individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action

Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver may be
determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to
the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the
agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or
found unenforceable, then the parties' agreement to arbitrate shall be null and
void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the
limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge
and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated.

PROMISSORY NOTE
(Continued)
Page 3
Borrower an invoice of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date ("Billed
Amount"). (The "Billing Date" will be a date that is a specified number of
calendar days prior to the Due Date, which number of days will be mutually
agreed from time to time by Lender and Borrower.) The calculation of the Billed
Amount will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or
payments will be made between the Billing Date and the Due Date, and that there
will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. On the Due Date Lender will
debit the Designated Account for the Billed Amount, regardless of the actual
amount due on that date ("Accrued Amount"). If the Due Date does not fall on a
Business Day, Lender shall debit the Designated Account on the first Business
Day following the Due Date. For purposes of this Agreement, "Business Day" means
a day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are
authorized to close or are in fact closed in the state where the Lender's
lending office is located. If the Billed Amount debited to the Designated
Account differs from the Accrued Amount, the difference will be treated as
follows: If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount
for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the underpayment.
Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such underpayment. If the
Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the
following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the overpayment.
Regardless of any such difference, interest will continue to accrue based on the
actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. Lender will not pay
interest on any overpayment.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct
from Borrower's account numbered 005567938115 the amount of any loan payment. If
the funds in the account are insufficient to cover any payment, Lender shall not
be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment. At any time and for any
reason, Borrower or Lender may voluntarily terminate Automatic Payments.
TERMINATION OF AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. In the event that Borrower terminates the
Automatic Payment arrangement with Lender, Borrower agrees that the interest
rate under the Note will increase, at the discretion of the Lender, by one
percentage point (1.00%) per annum over the rate of interest stated in the Note,
and the amount of each interest installment will be increased accordingly. The
effective rate of interest under the Note shall not in any event exceed the
maximum rate permitted by law.
