The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Loan. The Bank has agreed to make the following credit facility available to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement:

1.1. Facility.

(a) Revolving Line of Credit.

(i) Commitment to Advance. The credit facility is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Bank will, from time to time, make advances to the Borrower and the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow during the Revolving Line of Credit Commitment Period (as hereinafter defined) in a principal amount in the aggregate at any time outstanding not to exceed $6,000,000 or such lesser amount to the extent reduced by the Borrower in accordance with Section 1.1(b) hereof (the “Revolving Line of Credit”). The “Revolving Line of Credit Commitment Period” means the period commencing with the date hereof through and including the earlier of (A) the Expiration Date (as defined herein), and (B) the date on which the Bank’s commitment to make advances under the Revolving Line of Credit terminates under this Agreement. The “Expiration Date” means September 30, 2011, or such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice to the Borrower. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate outstanding advances under the Revolving Line of Credit (the “Revolving Advances”) shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower (the “Note”). Advances under the Revolving Line of Credit will be used by the Borrower for its working capital and other general business purposes.

(ii) Investment Sweep. The Revolving Line of Credit will include an investment and borrowing sweep feature on the terms and conditions of a Working Cash®, Line of Credit, Investment Sweep Rider (the “Sweep Rider”) to be executed and delivered by the Borrower to the Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, the terms of which are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference. The Sweep Rider will remain in effect until such time (if any) as it is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(iii) Letters of Credit. From the date hereof through the date five (5) days prior to the Expiration Date, the Borrower may request that the Bank, in lieu of, or in combination with, cash advances, issue standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) under the Revolving Line of Credit with no such Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance; provided, however, at no time shall the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding exceed $1,000,000; provided, further, that if the expiration date for any Letter of Credit requested by the Borrower is later than the Expiration Date, the Borrower shall on or before the day five (5) days prior to the Expiration Date deposit with the Bank as collateral for the Obligations (as hereinafter defined), cash or marketable securities (acceptable to the Bank and margined in accordance with the Bank’s customary requirements) in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount available to be drawn at such time (determined without regard to whether any conditions to drawing could be met at such time) under each outstanding Letter of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Bank, and grants to the Bank a security

interest in, all such cash and securities as security for the such Obligations. The availability of advances under the Revolving Line of Credit shall be reduced by the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding (whether or not drawn). Each payment by the Bank under a Letter of Credit shall in the Bank’s discretion constitute an advance of principal under the Revolving Line of Credit and shall be evidenced by the Note. The Letters of Credit shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement and by one or more reimbursement agreements, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank (collectively, the “Reimbursement Agreement”). Each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit must be accompanied by the Borrower’s execution of an application on the Bank’s standard forms (each, an “Application”), together with all supporting documentation. Each Letter of Credit will be issued in the Bank’s sole discretion and in a form acceptable to the Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank the Bank’s standard issuance fee, on the face amount of each Letter of Credit upon issuance, together with such other customary fees, commissions and expenses therefor as shall be required by the Bank. This letter is not a pre advice for the issuance of a letter of credit and is not irrevocable.

(b) Termination and Reduction of the Commitment. Upon at least five (5) days prior irrevocable written notice to the Bank, the Borrower may at any time prior to the Expiration Date, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Line of Credit; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Line of Credit shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $250,000 or in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the Revolving Line of Credit may not be reduced or terminated, if, after giving effect thereto and any prepayments of the Revolving Advances made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Advances plus the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding (whether or not drawn) would exceed the Revolving Line of Credit.

(c) Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, commencing on January 1, 2009, during the Revolving Line of Credit Commitment Period, and on the date on which the Revolving Line of Credit shall be permanently terminated or reduced as provided herein, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to twenty-five basis points (.25%) on the average daily amount of the Unused Revolving Line of Credit (as hereinafter defined) of the Bank during the preceding calendar quarter (or shorter period commencing on the date hereof or ending on the last day of the Revolving Line of Credit Commitment Period). “Unused Revolving Line of Credit” means, at any particular time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Revolving Line of Credit over the sum of (a) the Revolving Advances and (b) the face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit (whether or not drawn). The Unused Fee due to the Bank shall commence to accrue on the date hereof and shall cease to accrue on the last day of the Revolving Line of Credit Commitment Period. The Unused Fee shall be (a) computed on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year of 365 days, and (b) paid on the dates due in immediately available funds to the Bank. Once paid the Unused Fee shall not be refundable under any circumstances except in the case of manifest error by the Bank in the computation of the Unused Fee, which error is raised by the Borrower to the Bank within sixty (60) days of payment of such Unused Fee.

1.2. Note. The Note and renewals, extensions, amendments and restatements thereof acceptable to the Bank shall set forth the interest rate, repayment and other provisions, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

2. Security. The security for repayment of the Loan shall include but not be limited to the collateral, guaranties and other documents heretofore, contemporaneously or hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank (the “Security Documents”), which shall secure repayment of obligations under the Loan, the Note and the other Loan Documents (as defined below), including any advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank under the Loan Documents, of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising; and any amendments,

extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing, including attorneys’ fees and expenses (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations”). Unless expressly provided to the contrary in documentation for any other loan or loans, it is the express intent of the Bank and the Borrower that all Obligations including those included in the Loan be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted, such that collateral securing any of the Obligations shall secure repayment of all Obligations and a default under any Obligation shall be a default under all Obligations.

This Agreement, the Note, the Security Documents and all other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, are collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.
