Except as set forth in Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(g), the outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall respectively bear interest at the Equipment Floating Rate and the Real Estate Floating Rate, as applicable. 13 (c) MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Notwithstanding the interest payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $12,000 per calendar month (the "Minimum Interest Charge") during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrower shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise calculated under Section 2.4(a) on the date and in the manner provided in Section 2.6. (d) DEFAULT INTEREST RATE. At any time during any Default Period, in the Lender's sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, the principal of the Advances outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Default Rate, effective for any periods designated by the Lender from time to time during that Default Period. (e) RESERVED. (f) RESERVED. (g) USURY. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between the Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. Any determination of the rate(s) of interest for determining whether the loans under the Notes and the Obligations are usurious shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading, during the term of loans if no demand is made, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower in connection with such loans and Obligations, and any excess shall be canceled or credited or refunded as set forth herein. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be automatically considered payment of principal hereunder or the applicable Loan Document (or if any such indebtedness shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower), and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrower and the Lender. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall 14 control every other provision of the Loan Documents and all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, or their successors and assigns. SECTION 2.5 FEES. (a) ORIGINATION FEE. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Lender a fully earned and non-refundable origination fee of $15,000, due and payable upon the execution of this Agreement. The Lender acknowledges receipt of $25,000 toward payment of this fee and the fees, costs and expenses described in Sections 2.5(c) and 9.7. (b) UNUSED LINE FEE. For the purposes of this Section 2.5(b), "Unused Amount" means the Maximum Line reduced by outstanding Revolving Advances . The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused line fee at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the average daily Unused Amount from the date of this Agreement to and including the Termination Date, due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the month and on the Termination Date. (c) AUDIT FEES. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay the Lender, on demand, audit fees in connection with any audits or inspections conducted by the Lender of any Collateral or the Borrower's operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender as its audit fees (which fees are currently $700 per day per auditor), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such audit or inspection. SECTION 2.6 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES; WHEN INTEREST DUE AND PAYABLE. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Interest shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date. SECTION 2.7 CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If any Related Lender determines at any time that its Return has been reduced as a result of any Rule Change, such Related Lender may require the Borrower to pay it the amount necessary to restore its Return to what it would have been had there been no Rule Change. For purposes of this Section 2.7: (a) "Capital Adequacy Rule" means any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive, requirement or request regarding capital adequacy, or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority, central bank or comparable agency, whether or not 15 having the force of law, that applies to any Related Lender. Such rules include rules requiring financial institutions to maintain total capital in amounts based upon percentages of outstanding loans, binding loan commitments and letters of credit. (b) "Return", for any period, means the return as determined by such Related Lender on the Advances based upon its total capital requirements and a reasonable attribution formula that takes account of the Capital Adequacy Rules then in effect. Return may be calculated for each calendar quarter and for the shorter period between the end of a calendar quarter and the date of termination in whole of this Agreement. (c) "Rule Change" means any change in any Capital Adequacy Rule occurring after the date of this Agreement, but the term does not include any changes in applicable requirements that at the Closing Date are scheduled to take place under the existing Capital Adequacy Rules or any increases in the capital that any Related Lender is required to maintain to the extent that the increases are required due to a regulatory authority's assessment of the financial condition of such Related Lender. (d) "Related Lender" includes (but is not limited to) the Lender, any parent corporation of the Lender and any assignee of any interest of the Lender hereunder and any participant in the loans made hereunder. Certificates of any Related Lender sent to the Borrower from time to time claiming compensation under this Section 2.7, stating the reason therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to the Related Lender hereunder to restore its Return shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amounts, the Related Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. SECTION 2.8 VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT; REDUCTION OF THE MAXIMUM LINE; TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT FACILITY BY THE BORROWER. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may prepay the Revolving Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrower may prepay the Term Advances (other than in accordance with Section 2.3), terminate the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Line at any time if it (i) gives the Lender at least 30 days' prior written notice and (ii) pays the Lender the prepayment, termination or line reduction fees in accordance with Section 2.9. Any prepayment of the Term Advances (other than in accordance with Section 2.3) or reduction in the Maximum Line must be in an amount not less than $500,000 or an integral multiple 16 thereof. If the Borrower reduces the Maximum Line to zero, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. Any partial prepayments of the Term Note (other than in accordance with Section 2.3) shall be applied to principal payments due and owing in inverse order of their maturities. Upon termination of the Credit Facility and payment and performance of all Obligations, the Lender shall release or terminate the Security Interest and the Security Documents to which the Borrower is entitled by law. SECTION 2.9 TERMINATION, LINE REDUCTION AND PREPAYMENT FEES; WAIVER OF TERMINATION, PREPAYMENT AND LINE REDUCTION FEES. (a) TERMINATION AND LINE REDUCTION FEES. If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason as of a date other than the Maturity Date, or the Borrower reduces the Maximum Line, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Maximum Line (or the reduction, as the case may be) as follows: (i) three percent (3.0%) if the termination or reduction occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Funding Date; (ii) two percent (2.0%) if the termination or reduction occurs after the first anniversary of the Funding Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Funding Date; and (iii) one percent (1.0%) if the termination or reduction occurs after the second anniversary of the Funding Date. (b) PREPAYMENT FEES. If either Term Note is prepaid for any reason except in accordance with Section 2.3, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the amount prepaid as follows: (i) three percent (3.0%) if prepayment occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Funding Date; (ii) two percent (2.0%) if prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Funding Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Funding Date; and (iii) one percent (1.0%) if prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Funding Date. (c) WAIVER OF TERMINATION, LINE REDUCTION AND PREPAYMENT FEES. The Borrower will not be required to pay the termination, line reduction and prepayment fees otherwise due under this Section 2.9 if such termination, line reduction or prepayment is made because of increased cash flow generated from the Borrower's operations in the ordinary course of business or refinancing by an affiliate of the Lender. SECTION 2.10 MANDATORY PREPAYMENT. Without notice or demand, if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. Any payment received by the 17 Lender under this Section 2.10 or under Section 2.8 may be applied to the Obligations, in such order and in such amounts as the Lender, in its discretion, may from time to time determine; provided that any prepayment under Section 2.8 which the Borrower designates as a partial prepayment of the Term Note shall be applied to principal installments of the Term Note in inverse order of maturity. SECTION 2.11 PAYMENT. All payments to the Lender shall be made in immediately available funds and shall be applied to the Obligations by the Lender on the next Banking Day. All payments not constituting immediately available funds shall be forwarded by the Lender to Regulus West LLC for collection and processing in accordance with the Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.1, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, in its discretion at any time or from time to time without the Borrower's request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations from time to time due and payable. SECTION 2.12 PAYMENT ON NON-BANKING DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be. SECTION 2.13 USE OF PROCEEDS. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances first to repay in full all amounts owing to Bank One and secondly, for ordinary working capital purposes. SECTION 2.14 LIABILITY RECORDS. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, liability records as to the Obligations. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrower establishes the contrary. Upon the Lender's demand, the Borrower will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Obligations that the Borrower then asserts to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrower unless the Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.

At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender's name or in the Borrower's name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

SECTION 9.6 COLLATERAL. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrower is entitled to any surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency.

The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application.

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee's request, the Borrower, or counsel designated by the Borrower and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrower's sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrower's obligation under this Section 9.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrower's other obligations hereunder. SECTION 9.9 PARTICIPANTS.
