COMMERCIAL TIME NOTE (Revolving)

(Ohio version)

Amount        City, State        Date

$600,000.00

For Value Received, Shopsmith, Inc., (“Borrower”), whose mailing address is 6530 Poe Avenue, Dayton, OH 45414, promises to pay to the order of NATIONAL CITY BANK, SUCCESSOR BY MERGER TO THE PROVIDENT BANK (“Bank”), having a banking office at 6 North Main Street, Dayton, OH 45412, Attention: Commercial Loan Division, Locator No. 21-2215, at the address specified on the bills received by Borrower from Bank or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate in writing, Six Hundred Thousand and No One-Hundredths Dollars ($600,000.00) (or, if less, the unpaid principal balance shown on an attachment to this Note or on Bank’s loan account records) payable on August 15, 2005, in lawful money of the United states, together with interest payable commencing on June 30, 2005, and Monthly thereafter and at maturity.

This note represents an arrangement that allows Borrower to obtain advances without giving Bank a separate note for each advance. Bank will record the date and amount of each advance on an attachment to this Note or on Bank’s loan account records. Borrower agrees that each advance so recorded shall be prima facie evidence that an advance was made on the date and in the amount indicated. The number of advances and the amount of each advance are not limited; provided, however, that the maximum unpaid principal balance outstanding at any time shall not exceed the face value of this Note.

Prior to maturity, principal and any overdue interest shall bear interest computed daily (on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate which id One and One Half of One Percent (1.50%) per annum above the Prime Rate.

If any payment is required to be made on a day which is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be due on the next immediately following Banking Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the applicable rate.

Prepayment: (a) Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal of this Note in whole or part, provided, that (i) each such prepayment shall be in the principal sum of One Thousand and No Hundredths Dollars ($1,000.00) or any integral multiple thereof of an amount equal to the then aggregate unpaid balance of this Note and (ii) concurrently with the prepayment of the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, Borrower shall prepay the accrued interest on the principal being prepaid. (b) Each prepayment of the principal of this Note may be made without premium or penalty.

If Borrower fails to pay any amount due hereunder, or any fee in connection herewith, in full within ten (10) days after its due date, Borrower, in each case, will incur and shall pay a late fee equal to the greater of twenty dollars ($20.00) or five percent (5%) of the unpaid amount. The payment of a late charge will not cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under this Note.

Bank shall have the right to apply payments in respect of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note with such allocation to the respective parts thereof and the respective due dates thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may from time to time deem advisable. Remittances in payment of any part of the amounts owing under this Note shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefore, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by the holder hereof in immediately available U.S. funds and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by the holder hereof of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due on this Note shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and shall not in any way excuse the existence of a default.

If this Note is not paid in full at maturity (whether by lapse of time, acceleration of maturity or otherwise) the interest rate otherwise in effect hereunder shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum, provided that in no event shall the

Page 21


 

principal of and interest on this Note bear interest after maturity at a rate less than the interest rate actually in effect hereunder immediately after maturity.

The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a) Borrower’s Bank Debt or any part thereof shall not be paid in full promptly when due (whether by lapse of time, acceleration of maturity or otherwise); (b) any Obligor shall die or be dissolved; (c) any representation or warranty made by any Obligor in this Note or Related Writing shall be false or erroneous in any material respect; (d) any Obligor shall fail or omit to perform or observe any agreement made by that Obligor in this Note or any Related Writing; (e) a judgement shall be entered against any Obligor in any court of record; (f) any deposit account of any Obligor is attached or levied upon; (g) any voluntary petition by or involuntary petition against any Obligor shall be files pursuant to any chapter of any bankruptcy code or any Obligor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (h) any Obligor enters into any merger or consolidation or sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of such Obligor’s assets in any manner other than in the ordinary course of business; (i) any indebtedness (other than any evidenced by this Note) of any Obligor shall not be paid when due, or there shall occur any event, condition, or other thing which gives (or which with the lapse of any applicable grace period, the giving of notice, or both would give) any creditor the right to accelerate or which automatically accelerates the maturity of any such indebtedness; (j) the security afforded by the collateral securing this Note at any time in the sole opinion of the Bank becomes insufficient; (k) there shall occur any event, condition or other thing that has, or in Bank’s judgement, is likely to have, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties, or business operations of any Obligor or on Bank’s ability to enforce or exercise any agreement or right arising under, out of, or in connection with any Related Writing; or (l) any property in which any Obligor now has or hereafter acquires any rights or which now or hereafter secures any Bank Debt shall be or become encumbered by any mortgage, security interest, or other lien, except any mortgage, security interest, or other lien consented to by Bank. Upon the occurrence of and Event of Default, the holder of this Note may, in its sole discretion, declare this Note to be due and payable and, if applicable, that Borrower no longer be permitted to obtain advances; and the principal of and interest on this Note shall thereupon become immediately payable in full, without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower hereby waives.
