FORM OF
REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
         
     $25,000,000
      Date: May 9, 2008
          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, NATIONAL DENTEX CORPORATION (“Dentex”), GREEN DENTAL LABORATORIES, INC. (“Green”), KELLER GROUP, INCORPORATED (“Keller”), KELLER LABORATORIES, INCORPORATED — MIDWEST (“Keller — Midwest”), and KELLER LABORATORIES, INC. — SOUTHEAST (“Keller — Southeast”, and together with Dentex, Green, Keller, and Keller — Midwest and each of their respective successors in title and assigns, called the “Borrowers”), by this promissory note (hereinafter, together with the Schedule annexed hereto, called this “Note”), jointly and severally and absolutely and unconditionally promise to pay to the order of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A. (hereinafter, together with its successors in title and assigns, called the “Bank”), the principal sum of Twenty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000,000), or so much thereof as shall have been advanced by the Bank to the Borrowers by way of revolving loans under the Revolving Line of Credit under the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and that shall remain outstanding from time to time, such payment to be made as hereinafter provided, and to pay interest on the principal sum outstanding hereunder from time to time from the date hereof until the said principal sum or the unpaid portion thereof shall have become due and payable as hereinafter provided.
          Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement (as defined below).
          The unpaid principal (not at the time overdue) under this Note from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at the rate or rates from time to time in effect under the Loan Agreement. Accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount outstanding from time to time under this Note shall be payable on the dates specified in the Loan Agreement. Advances under this Note, once repaid, may be reborrowed.
     If any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (unless the Loan Agreement provides otherwise), and with respect to any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during any such extension.
          On November 7, 2009, the date of the final maturity of this Note, there shall become absolutely due and payable by the Borrowers hereunder, and the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the Bank, the balance (if

-1-


 

any) of the principal hereof then remaining unpaid, all of the unpaid interest accrued hereon and all (if any) other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby.
          Each overdue amount payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall (to the extent permitted by applicable law) bear interest at the rates and on the terms provided by the Loan Agreement. The unpaid interest accrued on each overdue amount in accordance with the foregoing terms of this paragraph shall become and be absolutely due and payable by the Borrowers to the Bank on demand by the Bank. Interest on each overdue amount will continue to accrue as provided by the foregoing terms of this paragraph, and will (to the extent permitted by applicable law) be compounded monthly until the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of the payment of such overdue amount shall be discharged (whether before or after judgment).
          Each payment of principal, interest or other sum payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be made by the Borrowers directly to the Bank in U.S. dollars, for the account of the Bank, at the address of the Bank set forth in the Loan Agreement, on the due date of such payment, and in immediately available and freely transferable funds. All payments on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without any deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature.
          This Note constitutes the amendment and restatement in their entirety of the Second Amended and Restated First Line of Credit Note and the Second Amended and Restated Second Line of Credit Note, issued by the Borrowers to the Bank under the Loan Agreement (the “Prior Notes”) and is issued in substitution therefor and as an amendment and replacement thereof. Nothing herein or in any other document shall be construed to constitute payment of the Prior Notes.
     This Note is made and delivered by the Borrowers to the Bank pursuant to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2006 by and among the Borrowers and the Bank (hereinafter, as originally executed, and as varied or supplemented or amended and restated from time to time, called the “Loan Agreement”), to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions (to the extent not set forth herein) under which the revolving loans evidenced by this Note were made and are to be repaid and (ii) the Joinder Agreement (as defined below). This Note evidences the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers (a) to repay the principal amount of the revolving loans under the Revolving Line of Credit made by the Bank to the Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Agreement; (b) to pay interest, as herein and therein provided, on the principal amount hereof remaining unpaid from time to time; and (c) to pay other amounts which may become due and payable hereunder or thereunder as herein and therein provided. Reference is hereby made to the Loan Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules annexed thereto) for a complete statement of the terms thereof.

The Borrowers will have an obligation to prepay principal of this Note from time to time if and to the extent required under, and upon the terms contained in, the Loan Agreement. Any partial payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
          Pursuant to and upon the terms contained in Section 10 of the Loan Agreement, the entire unpaid principal of this Note, all of the interest accrued on the unpaid principal of this Note and all (if any) other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby may be declared to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the entire unpaid principal of this Note, all of the interest accrued on the unpaid principal of this Note and all (if any) other amounts payable on or in respect of this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall (if not already due and payable) forthwith become and be due and payable to the Bank without presentment, demand, protest or any other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived by each of the Borrowers, excepting only for notice expressly provided for in the Loan Agreement.
          All computations of interest payable as provided in this Note shall be made by the Bank in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The interest rate in effect from time to time shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
          Should all or any part of the indebtedness represented by this Note be collected by action at law, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other court proceedings, or should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection after default, EACH OF THE BORROWERS HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY TO THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, UPON DEMAND BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT ANY TIME, IN ADDITION TO PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND ALL (IF ANY) OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE ON OR IN RESPECT OF THIS NOTE OR THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED HEREBY, ALL COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND ALL OTHER COLLECTION CHARGES AND EXPENSES REASONABLY INCURRED OR SUSTAINED BY THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE.
     No delay or omission on the part of the Bank or any holder hereof in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other rights of the Bank or such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar or waiver of the same or any other right on any further occasion.
          Each of the Borrowers and every endorser and guarantor of this Note hereby irrevocably waive notice of acceptance, presentment, demand, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, suit and all other demands, notices and other

conditions precedent in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default, collection and/or enforcement of this Note or any collateral or security therefor, except for notices expressly provided for in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and assent to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition or release of any other party or person primarily or secondarily liable.
          The Bank’s books and records concerning the revolving loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, the accrual of interest thereon, and the repayment of such revolving loans, shall be prima facie evidence of the indebtedness hereunder.
          This Note shall be binding upon each of the Borrowers, and each endorser and guarantor hereof, and upon their respective successors, assigns and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of the Bank and its permitted successors, endorsees, and assigns.
     Each of the Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably consents and submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A. and of the United States of America for the District of Massachusetts in connection with any actions or proceedings brought against the Borrower by the holder hereof arising out of or relating to this Note.
     EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY MUTUALLY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, AND AGREES THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANK TO ACCEPT THIS NOTE AND MAKE THE LOANS.
          This Note is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument. This Note and the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted and determined in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, U.S.A.
