REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE
     
$65,000,000   West Covina, California
March 12, 2008
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at San Gabriel Valley Regional Commercial Banking Office, 1000 Lakes Drive, Suite 250, West Covina, California, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Sixty Five Million Dollars ($65,000,000), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.
     This Revolving Line of Credit Note (this “Note”) is the Line of Credit Note issued pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 12, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) between Borrower and Bank. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined. Reference hereby is made to the Loan Documents for a description of the assets in which a Lien has been granted, the nature and extent of the security and the guaranties, the terms and conditions upon which the Liens and each guaranty were granted and the rights of the holder of this Note in respect thereof.
     DEFINITIONS:
     As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined:
     (a) “Applicable Margin” means the following percentages per annum, based upon the Consolidated EBITDA as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by Bank pursuant to Section 4.3(f) of the Credit Agreement:
                     
    Trailing 12 month        
Tier   Consolidated EBITDA   LIBOR Margin   Prime Rate Margin
I  
<$17,999,999
    2.50       0.0  
II  
$18,000,000 to $19,999,999
    2.25       0.0  
III  
$20,000,000 to $21,999,999
    2.00       -0.25  
IV  
> $22,000,000
    1.75       -0.50  
Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Consolidated EBITDA for any relevant period shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(f); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then Pricing Tier 1 shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered. The Applicable Margin in effect from the Closing Date through the date that the Compliance Certificate (and audited financial

1


 

statements) required to be delivered for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 is delivered to Bank shall be determined based upon Pricing Tier 1.
     (b) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing for one (1), two (2), three (3), six (6), nine (9) or twelve (12) months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than $1,000,000; and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the Line of Credit Termination Date. If any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
     (c) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula:
             
 
  LIBOR =   Base LIBOR    
 
     
 
100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage
   
     (i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate is quoted by Bank for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.
     (ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.
     (d) “Prime Rate” means at any time the rate of interest most recently announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank’s base rates and serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the recording thereof after its announcement in such internal publication or publications as Bank may designate.
INTEREST:
     (a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank equal to LIBOR in effect on the first day of the

2


 

applicable Fixed Rate Term plus the Applicable Margin. When interest is determined in relation to the Prime Rate, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank. With respect to each LIBOR selection hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.
     (b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, it may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, Borrower may convert all or a portion thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder or wishes to select a LIBOR option for all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance hereof, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection, the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term; provided, however, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may not elect to continue or convert any Advance outstanding hereunder into a LIBOR rate loan. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Prime Rate interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.
     (c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any Governmental Authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any Governmental Authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

     (d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing March 1, 2008.
     (e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.
BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:
     (a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount set forth above or such lesser amount as shall at any time be available hereunder, as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on Line of Credit Termination Date.
     (b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of (i) Robert A. Virtue, Robert Dose, Doug Virtue or Bassey Yau, any one of them acting alone, who are authorized to request Advances and direct the disposition of any Advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to Advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request Advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an Advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.
     (c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate, if any, and second, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied to the oldest Fixed Rate Term first.
PREPAYMENT:
     (a) Prime Rate. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Prime Rate at any time, in any amount and without penalty.

4


 

     (b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of $1,000,000; provided, however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:
     (i) Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.
     (ii) Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.
     (iii) If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.
     Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum two percent (2%) above the Prime Rate in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360 day year, actual days elapsed). Each change in the rate of interest on any such past due prepayment fee shall become effective on the date each Prime Rate change is announced within Bank.
     (c) The principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable as follows and without set off, counterclaim or reduction of any kind:
     (i) the amount, if any, by which the LC Usage Amount at any time exceeds the Maximum Line of Credit Amount at such date shall be payable immediately; and
     (ii) the principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable on the Line of Credit Termination Date
EVENTS OF DEFAULT:
     Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.

MISCELLANEOUS:
     (a) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.
     (b) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
