Re:      $15,000,000 Committed Line of Credit

Dear Duane:

     We are pleased to inform you that PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), has approved your request for a committed line of credit to Environmental Tectonics Corporation (the “Borrower”). This letter agreement amends, restates and replaces (but does not constitute a novation of) the existing Letter Agreement dated November 16, 2006 between the Bank and the Borrower (as heretofore amended, the “Existing Loan Agreement”).

1. Facility and Use of Proceeds. This is a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrower may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, will make advances to the Borrower from time to time until the Expiration Date, in an amount in the aggregate at any time outstanding not to exceed $15,000,000 (the “Line of Credit” or the “Loan”). The “Expiration Date” means June 30, 2009, or such later date as may be designated by the Bank by written notice to the Borrower. Advances under the Line of Credit will be used for working capital or other general business purposes of the Borrower.

     The Borrower may request that the Bank, in lieu of cash advances, issue standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively the “Letters of Credit”) having expiration dates not later than one year after the Expiration Date. The existing Letters of Credit heretofore issued by the Bank and listed on Schedule I (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) hereto shall constitute Letters of Credit for all purposes hereunder. The availability of advances under the 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 Bank’s discretion constitute an advance of principal under the Line of Credit and shall be evidenced by the Note (as defined below). The Letters of Credit shall be governed by the terms of this letter and by a reimbursement agreement, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank, executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank (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. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank fees on the face amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by (x) 1.00% per annum in the case of Existing Letters of Credit and (y) .90% per annum in the case of Letters of Credit issued after the date hereof, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter and on the Expiration Date,

provided that in no event shall such fees for any Letter of Credit be less than the standard minimum amount charged for letters of credit issued by the Bank from time to time for its customers, together with such other customary issuance 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.

2. Note. The obligation of the Borrower to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) in form and content satisfactory to the Bank. This letter (the “Letter Agreement”), the Note, the Reimbursement Agreement and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed from time to time, will constitute the “Loan Documents.” Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Documents.

3. Interest Rate. Interest on the unpaid balance of the Line of Credit advances will be charged at the rates, and be payable on the dates and times, set forth in the Note.

4. Repayment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Line of Credit until the Expiration Date, on which date the outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable. Interest will be due and payable as set forth in the Note, and will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding.

5. Security. The Borrower must cause to be executed and delivered to the Bank, in form and content satisfactory to the Bank as security for the Line of Credit, a restated guaranty agreement, under which H. F. Lenfest (the “Guarantor”) will unconditionally guarantee the due and punctual payment of all indebtedness owed to the Bank by the Borrower under the Line of Credit (the “Guaranty”).

6. Covenants. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank, until payment in full of the Loan and all of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit and termination of the commitment for the Line of Credit:

     (a) The Borrower will promptly submit to the Bank such information as the Bank may reasonably request relating to the Borrower’s affairs (including but not limited to annual Financial Statements (as hereinafter defined) and tax returns for the Borrower and/or any security for the Line of Credit.

     (b) The Borrower will not make or permit any change in its form of organization or any material change in the nature of its business as carried on as of the date of this Letter Agreement.

     (c) The Borrower will notify the Bank in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an act or condition which, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both might become an Event of Default.

     (d) The Borrower will comply with the financial and other covenants included in Exhibit “A” hereto.

     (a) The Borrower’s latest Financial Statements provided to the Bank are true, complete and accurate in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition, assets and liabilities, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and the results of the Borrower’s operations for the period specified therein. The Borrower’s Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied from period to period subject, in the case of interim statements, to normal year-end adjustments. Since the date of the latest Financial Statements provided to the Bank, the Borrower has not suffered any damage, destruction or loss which has materially adversely affected its business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations.

     (b) There are no actions, suits, proceedings or governmental investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower which could result in a material adverse change in its business, assets, operations, financial condition or results of operations and there is no basis known to the Borrower or its officers, directors or shareholders for any such action, suit, proceedings or investigation.

     (c) The Borrower has filed all returns and reports that are required to be filed by it in connection with any federal, state or local tax, duty or charge levied, assessed or imposed upon the Borrower or its property, including unemployment, social security and similar taxes and all of such taxes have been either paid or adequate reserve or other provision has been made therefor.

     (d) The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization and has the power and authority to own and operate its assets and to conduct its business as now or proposed to be carried on, and is duly qualified, licensed and in good standing to do business in all jurisdictions where its ownership of property or the nature of its business requires such qualification or licensing.

     (e) The Borrower has full power and authority to enter into the transactions provided for in this Letter Agreement and has been duly authorized to do so by all necessary and appropriate action and when executed and delivered by the Borrower, this Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms.

     (f) There does not exist any default or violation by the Borrower of or under any of the terms, conditions or obligations of: (i) its organizational documents; (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, franchise, permit, contract, agreement, or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound; or (iii) any law, regulation, ruling, order, injunction, decree,

condition or other requirement applicable to or imposed upon the Borrower by any law or by any governmental authority, court or agency.

8. Fees. Beginning on the first day of the quarter after the date hereof and continuing on the first day of each quarter thereafter until the Expiration Date, the Borrower shall pay a commitment fee to the Bank, in arrears, at the rate of one eighth of one percent (.125%) per annum on the average daily balance of the Line of Credit which is undisbursed and uncancelled during the preceding quarter. For purposes of calculating such fee, outstanding Letters of Credit shall constitute disbursements under the Line of Credit. The commitment fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid on the actual number of days elapsed.

9. Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for the Bank’s expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Bank’s outside and in-house counsel) in documenting and closing this transaction, in connection with any amendments, modifications or renewals of the Line of Credit, and in connection with the collection of all of the Borrower’s Obligations to the Bank, including but not limited to enforcement actions relating to the Loan.

10. Depository. The Borrower will establish and maintain at the Bank the Borrower’s primary depository account.

11. Additional Provisions. Before the first advance under the Loan and/or the issuance of any additional Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank the Note, an Application for each Letter of Credit, the Reimbursement Agreement, an amended and restated subordination and intercreditor agreement from the Guarantor in form and content satisfactory to the Bank and the other required Loan Documents and such other instruments and documents as the Bank may reasonably request, such as certified resolutions, incumbency certificates or other evidence of authority. The Bank will not be obligated to make any advance or issue any additional Letter of Credit under the Line of Credit if any Event of Default or event which with the passage of time, provision of notice or both would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

     Prior to execution of the final Loan Documents, the Bank may terminate this Letter Agreement if a material adverse change occurs with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantor, or any other person or entity connected in any way with the Loan, or if the Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Letter Agreement, or if the Bank reasonably determines that any of the conditions cannot be met.

No modification, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of this Letter Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the party to be charged, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. When accepted, this Letter Agreement and the other Loan Documents will constitute the entire agreement between the Bank and the Borrower concerning the Line of Credit, and shall replace all prior understandings, statements,
