INCORPORATED — MIDWEST (“Xxxxxx — Midwest”), and XXXXXX LABORATORIES, INC. — SOUTHEAST
(“Xxxxxx — Southeast”, and together with Dentex, Green, Keller, and Xxxxxx — Midwest and
each of their respective successors in title and assigns, called the “Borrowers”), by this
promissory note (hereinafter, together with the Schedule annexed hereto, called this
“Note”), jointly and severally and absolutely and unconditionally promise to pay to the
order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (hereinafter, together with its successors in title and assigns,
called the “Bank”), the principal sum of Twenty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000,000), or so much thereof as shall have been advanced by the Bank to the Borrowers by way
of revolving loans under the Revolving Line of Credit under the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter
defined) and that shall remain outstanding from time to time, such payment to be made as
hereinafter provided, and to pay interest on the principal sum outstanding hereunder from time to
time from the date hereof until the said principal sum or the unpaid portion thereof shall have
become due and payable as hereinafter provided.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan
Agreement (as defined below).
The unpaid principal (not at the time overdue) under this Note from time to time outstanding
shall bear interest at the rate or rates from time to time in effect under the Loan Agreement.
Accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount outstanding from time to time under this Note shall
be payable on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement. Advances under this Note, once repaid,
may be reborrowed.
If any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day (as
defined in the Loan Agreement), the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day (unless the Loan Agreement provides otherwise), and with respect to any payment of
principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during any such extension.
On November 7, 2009, the date of the final maturity of this Note, there shall become
absolutely due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, and the
Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the Bank, the balance (if

any) of the
principal hereof then remaining unpaid, all of the unpaid interest accrued hereon and all (if any)
other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
Each overdue amount payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby
shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) bear interest at the rates and on the terms
provided by the Loan Agreement. The unpaid interest accrued on each overdue amount in accordance
with the foregoing terms of this paragraph shall become and be absolutely due and payable by the
Borrowers to the Bank on demand by the Bank. Interest on each overdue amount will continue to
accrue as provided by the foregoing terms of this paragraph, and will (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) be compounded monthly until the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the
payment of such overdue amount shall be discharged (whether before or after judgment).
Each payment of principal, interest or other sum payable on or in respect of this Note or the
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be made by the Borrowers directly to the Bank in U.S. dollars,
for the account of the Bank, at the address of the Bank set forth in the Loan Agreement, on the due
date of such payment, and in immediately available and freely transferable funds. All payments on
or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be made without set-off or
counterclaim and free and clear of and without any deductions, withholdings, restrictions or
conditions of any nature.

and Restated First Line of Credit Note and the Second Amended and Restated Second Line of Credit
Note, issued by the Borrowers to the Bank under the Loan Agreement (the “Prior Notes”) and
is issued in substitution therefor and as an amendment and replacement thereof. Nothing herein or
in any other document shall be construed to constitute payment of the Prior Notes.
This Note is made and delivered by the Borrowers to the Bank pursuant to (i) the Second
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2006 by and among the Borrowers and
the Bank (hereinafter, as originally executed, and as varied or supplemented or amended and

for a statement of the terms and conditions (to the extent not set forth herein) under which the

Agreement (as defined below). This Note evidences the joint and several obligations of the
Borrowers (a) to repay the principal amount of the revolving loans under the Revolving Line of
Credit made by the Bank to the Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (b) to pay interest, as

Note shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Pursuant to and upon the terms contained in Section 10 of the Loan Agreement, the
entire unpaid principal of this Note, all of the interest accrued on the unpaid principal of this
Note and all (if any) other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness

principal of this Note, all of the interest accrued on the unpaid principal of this Note and all
(if any) other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby
shall (if not already due and payable) forthwith become and be due and payable to the Bank without
presentment, demand, protest or any other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly and irrevocably waived by each of the Borrowers, excepting only for notice expressly
provided for in the Loan Agreement.
All computations of interest payable as provided in this Note shall be made by the Bank in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The interest rate in effect from time to time
shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

OTHER COLLECTION CHARGES AND EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED OR SUSTAINED BY THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE.
No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Bank or such
holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of
the same or any other right on any further occasion.
Each of the Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Note hereby irrevocably waive
notice of acceptance, presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit
and all other demands, notices and other

Loan Document, and assent to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other
indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release
of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
The Bank’s books and records concerning the revolving loans under the Revolving Line of
Credit, the accrual of interest thereon, and the repayment of such revolving loans, shall be prima
facie evidence of the indebtedness hereunder.
This Note shall be binding upon each of the Borrowers, and each endorser and guarantor hereof,
and upon their respective successors, assigns and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit
of the Bank and its permitted successors, endorsees, and assigns.
Each of the Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably consents and submits, for itself and
its property, to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A. and of
the United States of America for the District of Massachusetts in connection with any actions or
proceedings brought against the Borrower by the holder hereof arising out of or relating to this
Note.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY MUTUALLY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN
AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR
ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, AND AGREES THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY
OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES

FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANK TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE
AND MAKE THE LOANS.
This Note is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument. This Note and the obligations of
the Borrowers hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted
and determined in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A.
