Re:    $8,500,000.00 Committed Line of Credit
Dear Mr. Libratore:
     We are pleased to inform you that PNC Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), has approved your request for a committed line of credit to Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc and Liberator Medical Supply, Inc. (collectively, the “Borrower”). We look forward to this opportunity to help you meet the financing needs of your business. All the details regarding your line of credit are outlined in the following sections of this letter.
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 $8,500,000.00 (the “Line of Credit” or the “Loan”). The “Expiration Date” means February 11, 2013, 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 availability of advances under the Line of Credit will be subject to a borrowing base formula and other provisions as set forth in a Borrowing Base Rider dated on or about the date of this Letter Agreement between the Borrower and the Bank, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference (the “Borrowing Base Rider”). At no time shall the sum of outstanding advances under the Line of Credit exceed the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Borrowing Base Rider). Pursuant to the Borrowing Base Rider, the Borrower will be required to deliver periodic Borrowing Base Certificates, reporting on its accounts and inventory in accordance with defined eligibility standards, as a condition to advances under the Line of Credit.
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 and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered pursuant hereto, as each may be amended, modified, extended or renewed
Form 7A — Multistate Rev. 1/02

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 or has previously caused the following to be executed and delivered to the Bank in form and content satisfactory to the Bank as security for the Loan:
     (a) guaranty and suretyship agreements, under which Practica Medical Manufacturing, Inc., Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc. and Liberator Health and Wellness, Inc. (individually or collectively, the “Guarantor”) will unconditionally jointly and severally guarantee the due and punctual payment of all indebtedness owed to the Bank by the Borrower.
     (b) a security agreement granting the Bank a first priority perfected lien on the Borrower’s existing and future assets, wherever located, as more fully described in the security agreement. If letter of credit rights have been assigned to the Bank, a consent to the assignment must be executed by the issuer of the applicable letter(s) of credit.
     If all or any portion of the tangible collateral is located on property which is not owned by the Borrower or which is subject to a mortgage in favor of another lender, the Borrower will deliver to the Bank a Landlord’s or Mortgagee’s Waiver, as applicable, for each such location, each of which shall be acceptable in form and content to the Bank.
     Hazard insurance must be maintained on all inventory, equipment and real property securing the Loan in such amounts and with such coverages as are acceptable to the Bank, containing a standard lender loss payable or mortgagee clause in favor of the Bank.
     The Loan will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with all other present and future Obligations (as defined in the Loan Documents) of the Borrower to the Bank.
6. Covenants. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank, until payment in full of the Loan 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 Loan.
     (b) Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor will make or permit any change in its form of organization, the nature of its business as carried on as of the date of this Letter Agreement or in its senior management or equity ownership.
     (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.

     (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.

The Borrower will reimburse the Bank for the Bank’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred or to be incurred at any time in conducting UCC, title and other public record searches, and in filing and recording documents in the public records to perfect the Bank’s liens and security interests. The Borrower shall also 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 Loan, 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.

11. Additional Provisions. Before the first advance under the Loan, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank the Note 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 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, any collateral for the Loan 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.
