2. PROMISE TO PAY. For value received, I promise to pay you or your order, at your address, or at such other location as
you may designate, amounts advanced from time to time under the terms of this Note up to the maximum outstanding principal
balance of $5,500,000.00 (Principal), plus interest from the date of disbursement, on the unpaid outstanding Principal
balance until this Note is paid in full and you have no further obligations to make advances to me under the Loan.
I may borrow up to the Principal amount more than one time.
3. ADVANCES. Advances under this Note are made according to the following terms and conditions.
A. REQUESTS FOR ADVANCES. My requests are a warranty that I am in compliance with all the Loan Documents. When
required by you for a particular method of advance, my requests for an advance must specify the requested amount
and the date and be accompanied with any agreements, documents, and instruments that you require for the Loan.
Any payment by you of any check, share draft or other charge may; at your option, constitute an advance on the
Loan to me. All advances will be made in United States dollars. I will indemnify you and hold you harmless for
your reliance on any request for advances that you reasonably believe to be genuine. To the extent permitted by
law, I will indemnify you and hold you harmless when the person making any request represents that I authorized
this person to request an advance even when this person is unauthorized or this person's signature is not
genuine.
I or anyone I authorize to act on my behalf may request advances by the following methods.
(1) I make a request in person.
(2) I make a request by phone.
(3) I make a request by mail.
(4) I write a check or share draft.
B. ADVANCE LIMITATIONS. In addition to any other Loan conditions, requests for, and access to, advances are subject
to the following limitations.
(1) OBLIGATORY ADVANCES. You will make all Loan advances subject to this Agreement's terms and conditions.
(2) ADVANCE AMOUNT. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Note, advances will be made in
exactly the amount I request.
(3) DISBURSEMENT OF ADVANCES. On my fulfillment of this Note's terms and conditions, you will disburse the
advance in any manner as you and I agree.
(4) CREDIT LIMIT. I understand that you will not ordinarily grant a request for an advance that would cause the
unpaid principal of my Loan to be greater than the Principal limit. You may, at your option, grant such a
request without obligating yourselves to do so in the future. I will pay any over advances in addition to
my regularly scheduled payments. I will repay any over advance by repaying you in full within 10 days after
the overdraft occurs.
(5) RECORDS. Your records will be conclusive evidence as to the amount of advances, the Loan's unpaid principal
balances and the accrued interest.
4. INTEREST. Interest will accrue on the unpaid Principal balance of this Note at the rate of 7.428 percent (Interest
Rate) until August 2, 2007, after which time it may change as described in the Variable Rate subsection.
2
A. INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. If you declare a default under the terms of the Loan, including for failure to pay in
full at maturity, you may increase the Interest Rate payable on the outstanding Principal balance of this Note.
In such event, interest will accrue on the outstanding Principal balance at the variable Interest Rate in effect
from time to time, plus an additional 6.000 percent, until paid in full.
B. MAXIMUM INTEREST AMOUNT. Any amount assessed or collected as interest under the terms of this Note will be
limited to the maximum lawful amount of interest allowed by state or federal law, whichever is greater. Amounts
collected in excess of the maximum lawful amount will be applied first to the unpaid Principal balance. Any
remainder will be refunded to me.
C. ACCRUAL. Interest accrues using an Actual/360 days counting method.
D. VARIABLE RATE. The Interest Rate may change during the term of this transaction.
(1) INDEX. Beginning with the first Change Date, the Interest Rate will be based on the following index: 30-day
LIBOR based on the British Banker's Association average of interbank offered rates for dollar deposits in
the London market based on quotations at sixteen major banks.
The Current Index is the most recent index figure available on each Change Date. You do not guaranty by
selecting this Index, or the margin, that the Interest Rate on this Note will be the same rate you charge
on any other loans or class of loans you make to me or other borrowers. If this Index is no longer
available, you will substitute a similar index. You will give me notice of your choice.
(2) CHANGE DATE. Each date on which the Interest Rate may change is called a Change Date. The Interest Rate may
change August 2, 2007 and daily thereafter.
(3) CALCULATION OF CHANGE. On each Change Date you will calculate the Interest Rate, which will be the Current
Index plus 2.100 percent. The result of this calculation will be rounded to the nearest .001 percent.
Subject to any limitations, this will be the Interest Rate until the next Change Date. The new Interest
Rate will become effective on each Change Date. The Interest Rate and other charges on this Note will never
exceed the highest rate or charge allowed by law for this Note.
(4) LIMITATIONS. The Interest Rate changes are subject to the following limitations:
(a) LIFETIME. The Interest Rate will never be less than 4.500 percent.
(5) EFFECT OF VARIABLE RATE. A change in the Interest Rate will have the following effect on the payments: The
amount of scheduled payments and the amount of the final payment will change.
5. PAYMENT. I agree to pay all accrued interest on the balance outstanding from time to time in regular payments beginning
August 30, 2007, then on the same day of each month thereafter. Any payment scheduled for a date falling beyond the last day
of the month, will be due on this last day. A final payment of the entire, unpaid outstanding balance of Principal and
interest will be due June 30, 2008.
Payments will be rounded to the nearest $.01. With the final payment I also agree to pay any additional fees or charges owing
and the amount of any advances you have made to others on my behalf. Payments scheduled to be paid on the 29th, 30th or 31st
day of a month that contains no such day will, instead, be made on the last day of such month.
Interest payments will be applied first to any I owe other than late charges, then to accrued, but unpaid interest, then to
late charges. Principal payments will be applied first to the outstanding Principal balance, then to any late charges. If you
and I agree to a different application of payments, we will describe our agreement on this Note. The actual amount of my
final payment will depend on my payment record.
3
6. PREPAYMENT. I may prepay this Loan in full or in part at any time. Any partial prepayment will not excuse any later
scheduled payments until I pay in full.
7. LOAN PURPOSE. The purpose of this Loan is to change the interest rate.
8. ADDITIONAL TERMS. A. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER AUTHORIZATION:
I authorize you to charge my Account No. for all payments due on this Loan as set forth in the PAYMENT section of this Note.
You may continue to charge the Account until the Loan is paid or until I provide you with notice of cancellation.
I understand and agree that if a payment due date falls on a non-business day, the payment amount will be debited from the
Account and credited to the Loan as a loan payment on the next day you are open for regular business.
I further understand and agree that if the Account does not have a sufficient balance on a day that a payment is to be
debited from the Account and credited to the Loan, you may, at your option, suspend further efforts to debit the Account and
look to me for the payment and all subsequent payments until such time as all payments under the Loan are, current. In no
event will availability of any credit line that I may have with you be used in determining whether the Account has a
sufficient balance.
At your option and sole discretion, you may resume charging the Account without further instruction from me once all payments
are current. In the event that you do not resume charging to the Account, you will notify me in writing that this
authorization has been cancelled. Such cancellation of this authorization does not excuse me from making timely payment under
the terms of the Loan.
In any event, you, at your option, may cancel this authorization at any time.
B. IMPORTANT NOTICE: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the USA
PATRIOT Act requires all banks to obtain and verify the identity, of each person, or business that opens an
account. When I open an account you will ask me for information that will allow you to properly identify me and
you will verify that information. If you cannot properly verify identity within 30 calendar days, you reserve the
right to deem all of the balance and accrued interest due and payable immediately.
9. SECURITY. The Loan is secured by the following, previously executed, security instruments or agreements: Loan Agreement
dated 10/14/04 and any amendments thereof; Security Agreement dated 10/14/04 covering Business Assets.

B. NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Your course of dealing, or your forbearance from, or delay in, the exercise of any of your
rights, remedies, privileges or right to insist upon my strict performance of any provisions contained in this
Note, or any other Loan Document, shall not be construed as a waiver by you, unless any such waiver is in writing
and is signed by you.
13. REMEDIES. After I default, and after you give any legally required notice and opportunity to cure the default, you may
at your option do any one or more of the following.
A. ACCELERATION. You may make all or any part of the amount owing by the terms of this Note immediately due.
B. SOURCES. You may use any and all remedies you have under state or federal law or in any Loan Document.

E. TERMINATION. You may terminate my right to obtain advances and may refuse to make any further extensions of
credit.
F. SET-OFF. You may use the right of set-off. This means you may set-off any amount due and payable under the terms
of this Note against any right I have to receive money from you.
My right to receive money from you includes any deposit or share account balance I have with you; any money owed
to me on an item presented to you or in your possession for collection or exchange; and any repurchase agreement
or other non-deposit obligation. "Any amount due and payable under the terms of this Note" means the total amount
to which you are entitled to demand payment under the terms of this Note at the time you set-off.
Subject to any other written contract, if my right to receive money from you is also owned by someone who has not
agreed to pay this Note, your right of set-off will apply to my interest in the obligation and to any other
amounts I could withdraw on my sole request or endorsement.
Your right of set-off does not apply to an account or other obligation where my rights arise only in a
representative capacity. It also does not apply to any Individual Retirement Account or other tax-deferred
retirement account.
You will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because you set-off against any of
my accounts. I agree to hold you harmless from any such claims arising as a result of your exercise of your right
of set-off.
G. WAIVER. Except as otherwise required by law, by choosing any one or more of these remedies you do not give up
your right to use any other remedy. You do not waive a default if you choose not to use a remedy. By electing not
to use any remedy, you do not waive your right to later consider the event a default and to use any remedies if
the default continues or occurs again.
14. COLLECTION EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES. On or after Default, to the extent permitted by law, I agree to pay all
expenses of collection, enforcement or protection of your rights and remedies under this Note or any other Loan Document.
Expenses include, but are not limited to, attorneys' fees, court costs and other legal expenses. These expenses are due and
payable immediately. If not paid immediately, these expenses will bear interest from the date of payment until paid in full
at the highest interest rate in effect as provided for in the terms of this Note. All fees and expenses will be secured by
6
the Property I have granted to you, if any. In addition, to the extent permitted by the United States Bankruptcy Code, I
agree to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by you to protect your rights and interests in connection with any
bankruptcy proceedings initiated by or against me.

products, and may earn such fees on other services that I buy through you or your affiliate.
