received prior commercial loans from Lender or has applied to Lender for a
commercial loan or loans or other financial accommodations, including those
which may be described on any exhibit or schedule attached to this Agreement
("Loan"). Borrower understands and agrees that: (A) in granting, renewing, or
extending any Loan, Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations,
warranties, and agreements as set forth in this Agreement; (B) the granting,
renewing, or extending of any Loan by Lender at all times shall be subject to
Lender's sole judgment and discretion; and (C) all such Loans shall be and
remain subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
TERM. This Agreement shall be effective as of June 1, 2004, and shall continue
in full force and effect until such time as all of Borrower's Loans in favor of
Lender have been paid in full, including principal, interest, costs, expenses,
attorneys' fees, and other fees and charges, or until such time as the parties
may agree in writing to terminate this Agreement.
LINE OF CREDIT. Lender agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to time
from the date of this Agreement to the Expiration Date, provided the aggregate
amount of such Advances outstanding at any time does not exceed the Borrowing
Base. Within the foregoing limits, Borrower may borrow, partially or wholly
prepay, and reborrow under this Agreement as follows:
Conditions Precedent to Each Advance. Lender's obligation to make any
Advance to or for the account of Borrower under this Agreement is subject to the
following conditions precedent, with all documents, instruments, opinions,
reports, and other items required under this Agreement to be in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender:
(1) Lender shall have received evidence that this Agreement and all
Related Documents have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Borrower
to Lender.
(2) Lender shall have received such opinions of counsel, supplemental
opinions, and documents as Lender may request.
(3) The security interests in the Collateral shall have been duly
authorized, created, and perfected with first lien priority and shall be in full
force and effect.
(4) All guaranties required by Lender for the credit facility(ies)
shall have been executed by each Guarantor, delivered to Lender, and be in full
force and effect.
(5) Lender, at its option and for its sole benefit, shall have
conducted an audit of Borrower's Accounts, books, records, and operations, and
Lender shall be satisfied as to their condition.
(6) Borrower shall have paid to Lender all fees, costs, and expenses
specified in this Agreement and the Related Documents as are then due and
payable.
(7) There shall not exist at the time of any Advance a condition which
would constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement, and Borrower shall
have delivered to Lender the compliance certificate called for in the paragraph
below titled "Compliance Certificate."
Making Loan Advances. Advances under this credit facility, as well as
directions for payment from Borrower's accounts, may be requested orally or in
writing by authorized persons. Lender may, but need not, require that all oral
requests be confirmed in writing. Each Advance shall be conclusively deemed to
have been made at the request of and for the benefit of Borrower (1) when
credited to any deposit account of Borrower maintained with Lender or (2) when
advanced in accordance with the instructions of an authorized person. Lender, at
its option, may set a cutoff time, after which all requests for Advances will be
treated as having been requested on the next succeeding Business Day.
Mandatory Loan Repayments. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Advances shall exceed the applicable Borrowing Base, Borrower,
immediately upon written or oral notice from Lender, shall pay to Lender an
amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the
Advances and the Borrowing Base. On the expiration Date, Borrower shall pay to
Lender in full the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances then
outstanding and all accrued unpaid interest, together with all other applicable
fees, costs and charges, if any, not yet paid.
Loan Account. Lender shall maintain on its books a record of account in
which Lender shall make entries for each Advance and such other debits and
credits as shall be appropriate in connection with the credit facility. Lender
shall provide Borrower with periodic statements of Borrower's account, which
statements shall be considered to be correct and conclusively binding on
Borrower unless Borrower notifies Lender to the contrary within thirty (30) days
after Borrower's receipt of any such statement which Borrower deems to be
incorrect.
COLLATERAL. To secure payment of the Primary Credit Facility and performance of
all other Loan, obligations and duties owed by Borrower to Lender, Borrower (and
others, if required) shall grant to Lender Security Interests in such property
and assets as Lender may require. Lender's Security Interests in the Collateral
shall be continuing liens, and shall include the proceeds and products of the
Collateral, including without limitation the proceeds of any insurance. With

of this Agreement, Borrower will execute one or more UCC financing statements
and any similar statements as may be required by applicable law, and Lender will
file such financing statements and all such similar statements in the

necessary to perfect or to continue any Security Interest. Lender may at any
time, and without further authorization from Borrower, file a carbon,
photograph, facsimile, or other reproduction of any financing statement for use

authorities; shall furnish to Lender promptly and in any event within thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof a copy of any notice, summons, lien, citation,

there is damage to the environment and/or other natural resources.
Additional Assurances. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory
notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing
statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its
attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect
all Security Interests.
RECOVERY OF ADDITIONAL COSTS. If the imposition of or any change in any law,
rule, regulation or guideline, or the interpretation or application of any
thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority (including any
request or policy not having the force of law) shall impose, modify or make
applicable any taxes (except federal, state or local income or franchise taxes
imposed on Lender), reserve requirements, capital adequacy requirements or other
obligations which would (A) increase the cost to Lender for extending or
maintaining the credit facilities to which this Agreement relates, (B) reduce
the amounts payable to Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents, or
(C) reduce the rate of return on Lender's capital as a consequence of Lender's
obligations with respect to the credit facilities to which this Agreement
relates, then Borrower agrees to pay Lender such additional amounts as will
compensate Lender therefor, within five (5) days after Lender's written demand
for such payment, which demand shall be accompanied by an explanation of such
imposition or charge and a calculation in reasonable detail of the additional
amounts payable by Borrower, which explanation and calculations shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a
part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand;
(B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable
with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity.
NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:
Indebtedness and Liens. (1) Except for trade debt incurred in the normal
course of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this Agreement,
create, incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, including capital
leases, (2) sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a security
interest in, or encumber any of Borrower's assets (except as allowed as
Permitted Liens), or (3) sell with recourse any of Borrower's accounts, except
to Lender.
Continuity of Operations. (1) Engage in any business activities
substantially different than those in which borrower is presently engaged, (2)
cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any
other entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of
the ordinary course of business, or (3) pay any dividends on Borrower's stock
(other than dividends payable in its stock), provided, however that
notwithstanding the foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if
Borrower is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its
shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the shareholders
to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments to satisfy their
liabilities under federal and state law which arise solely from their status as
Shareholders of a Subchapter S Corporation because of their ownership of shares
of Borrower's stock, or purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares
or alter or amend Borrower's capital structure.
Loans, Acquisitions and Guaranties. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or
assets to any other person, enterprise or entity, (2) purchase, create or
acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any
obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.
CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender

any of the Related Documents or any other agreement that Borrower or any
Guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower or any Guarantor dies, becomes
incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar
proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse
change in Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any
Guarantor, or in the value of any Collateral securing any Loan or (D) any
Guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke such
Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in
good xxxxx xxxxx itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have
occurred.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any XXX or Xxxxx accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement:
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
Loan.
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the
Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under
any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement,
or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may
materially affect any of Borrower's or any Grantor's property or Borrower's or
any Grantor's ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Agreement or
the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now
or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time
thereafter.
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for
any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors,
any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
Defective Collateralization. This Agreement or any of the Related Documents
ceases to be in full force and effect (including failure of any collateral
document to create a valid and perfected security interest or lien) at any time
and for any reason.
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or
forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession
or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency
against any collateral securing the Loan. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect
to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes
incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any
Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option,
may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume
unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner
satisfactory to Lender, and in doing so, cure any Event of Default.
Change in Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%)
or more of the common stock of Borrower.
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial
condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan
is impaired.
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default on Indebtedness, is
curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a
notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, it may be
cured (and no Event of Default will have occurred) if Borrower or Grantor, as
the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of
such default: (1) cure the default within fifteen (15) days; or (2) if the cure
requires more than fifteen (15) days, immediately initiate steps which Lender
deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure the default and
thereafter continue and complete all reasonable and necessary steps sufficient
to produce compliance as soon as reasonably practical.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this Agreement or the Related Documents or any
other agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make
further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all
Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any
kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type
described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be
automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and
remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights
and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit
of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to
perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's
right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

Borrowers.

unenforceable as to any other circumstance. If feasible, the offending provision
shall be considered modified so that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If
the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be considered deleted
