2.2           Nature and Duration of Loan

The Loan shall be a revolving loan payable in full upon the dates and upon the terms and conditions provided in the Promissory Note.  Borrower may, at its option, reduce the Maximum Available Advance Amount of the Loan by providing written notice to Lender and paying any and all amounts owing to Lender above the reduced Maximum Available Advance Amount.  Lender and Borrower intend the Loan to be in the nature of a line of credit under which Borrower may repeatedly draw and repay funds on a revolving basis in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the Promissory Note.  The right of Borrower to draw funds and the obligation of Lender to advance funds shall not accrue until all of the conditions set forth in Section 4, Conditions to Loan Disbursements, have been fully satisfied, and shall terminate:  (i) upon occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) upon written notice from Borrower to Lender of termination of the Loan, or (iii) upon maturity of the Promissory Note, unless the Promissory Note is renewed or extended by Lender, in which case such termination shall occur upon the maturity of the final renewal or extension of the Promissory Note.  Upon such termination, any and all amounts owing to Lender pursuant to the Promissory Note shall thereupon be due and payable in full.

6.             Borrower shall pay Lender a facility fee of $30,000.00 and legal expenses incurred of $745.00 concurrent with the execution of this Agreement and a facility fee of 0.15% of the Maximum Available Advance Amount then in effect, if any, on June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008.
