Each Advance shall be in the amount of $1,000.00 or an integral multiple thereof. Within the limits of the Line of Credit, the Borrowers may obtain Advances, prepay, and obtain new Advances under this Section 2.01. The obligation to repay the Advances and to pay interest and other charges, fees and expenses thereon is evidenced by the Borrowers’ $4,000,000.00 Revolving Credit Promissory Note dated the date hereof and payable to the order of the Bank (together with any amendments, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, called the “Revolving Note”).

Each Borrower shall have the right to request and receive Advances hereunder up to the full Borrowing Base, and each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for the repayment of entire balance of the Revolving Note regardless of whether not or not it received some, all or none of the proceeds of the Advances.

    Section 2.02    Borrowing Base, Borrowing Base Certificate. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the debt evidenced by this Agreement must never exceed the lesser of the following amounts: (i) $4,000,000.00, or (ii) the then-current Borrowing Base.

    Within 15 days of the end of each calendar month, Borrowers shall provide Bank with (i) a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth all information required by the Bank for the purpose of calculating the Borrowing Base, (ii) one or more aging reports detailing the status of the Borrowers’ Accounts Receivable, and (iii) internally prepared financial statements detailing the financial performance of the Borrowers for the previous calendar month and on a year-to-date basis.

    The Borrowing Base Certificates and aging reports shall be completed with amounts determined as of the last day of the previous month and shall be signed by the Borrowers. A sample Borrowing Base Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference. The aging report shall take such form and contain such information as the Bank shall require, in the Bank’s sole discretion. Bank shall have the right to require modifications to the form of the Borrowing Base Certificate and the aging report at any time and from time to time. Unless Bank objects to the form or content of a Borrowing Base Certificate, which objection may be made at any time and from time to time, the Borrowing Base will be calculated based on the information set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate.

Section 2.03     Making the Advances. Each Advance shall be made on the request of a Borrower, which request may be made (i) in writing, (ii) by telephone, or (iii) pursuant to the Bank’s established on-line banking procedures. On-line requests shall be processed in accordance with the Bank’s on-line banking procedures, as such procedures may be amended or modified from time to time. All written and telephonic requests from a Borrower to the Bank shall specify the date of the requested Advance and the amount thereof and shall be received by the Bank no later than noon of the day on which the Advance is to be made. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Bank shall disburse the amount of any requested Advance by crediting the same to one of the Borrowers’ checking accounts at the Bank or in such other manner as the Bank and requesting Borrower may from time to time agree. Any request for an Advance shall be deemed to be a representation that to the best of the Borrowers
5



knowledge, the statements set forth in Sections 3.02(c) and 3.02(d) are correct as of the date of such request.

In addition to the foregoing, Advances may also be made in accordance with any “sweep” agreement now or hereafter executed by one or both of the Borrowers and Bank; provided, however, that if any such sweep agreement is signed, then such sweep agreement shall provide that the sweep account shall have a minimum balance of $100,000.00 before any funds from such account are applied to the Line of Credit.

Section 2.04     Use of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers may use the proceeds of the Advances for any lawful business purpose. It is anticipated that the Borrowers will use the Line of Credit for working capital needs, or to fund acquisitions.

Section 2.05    Payment, Balance and Setoff.

    (a)    Borrowers shall make monthly interest payments to Bank as required by the terms of the Revolving Note.

    (b)    All principal, interest and other amounts due under the Revolving Note and the Credit Documents shall, if not paid sooner, be due and payable on the Date of Final Maturity. From time to time at the request of Borrowers, the Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) extend the Date of Final Maturity.

(c)     Borrowers agree that the amount shown on the books and records of the Bank as being the unpaid balance of principal, accrued interest and other charges, fees and expenses under the Revolving Note and this Agreement shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

(d)    Borrowers agree that all payments due on the Revolving Note shall be automatically deducted from an account maintained with the Bank by one or both of the Borrowers. Borrowers agree to sign any and all documents necessary to authorize such payments. If the funds in such account are not sufficient to make any payment, Borrower shall make such payment from other sources. If the Borrower fails to cover any shortfall from other funds, then Bank may collect interest and other charges, fees and expenses under the Revolving Note and this Agreement by charging any of Borrowers’ accounts at the Bank; provided, however, that Bank shall first provide the Borrower at least two (2) business days notice of its intent to charge such amounts to Borrower’s account(s) with the Bank.

Section 2.06     Origination Fee/Document Review Fee. Borrowers agree to pay Bank an origination fee in the amount of $20,000.00 in connection with the loan evidenced by this Agreement. Borrowers also agree to pay Bank a document review fee in the amount of $750.00 in connection with the loan evidenced by this Agreement. The fees shall be considered fully earned on the date hereof and Borrowers shall not be entitled to a refund or rebate of any portion of the fees for any reason. The fees set forth above shall be in addition to all amounts paid by Borrowers to Bank in accordance with Section 7.03 hereof (including, without limitation, any attorney fees).

Section 2.07 Depository Requirements. During the entire term of this Agreement, Borrowers shall maintain all of their checking, savings, and other depository and operating accounts with the Bank, unless Bank provides a waiver in writing to allow for an exception. If either Borrower fails to comply with the requirement of this Section 2.07, the Bank may increase

the rate at which interest accrues on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Note by two percent (2%) per annum.
