2.1.1 Equipment Advances.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank agrees to lend to Borrowers, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, equipment advances (each an “Equipment Advance” and collectively the “Equipment Advances”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Committed Equipment Line. When repaid, the Equipment Advances may not be reborrowed. The proceeds of the Equipment Advances will be used solely to reimburse Borrowers for the purchase of Eligible Equipment purchased within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Equipment Advance provided that the first Equipment Advance may be used to reimburse Borrowers for Eligible Equipment purchased since January 1, 2002 if such first Equipment Advance is completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Closing Date. All Equipment Advances shall be evidenced by the Equipment Term Note to be executed and delivered by Borrowers to Bank on the Closing Date and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Equipment Term Note. Bank’s obligation to lend hereunder shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) the Commitment Termination Date. For purposes of this Section, the minimum amount of each Equipment Advance is One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) and the maximum number of Equipment Advances that will be made is five (5).

On each Funding Date, Bank will specify in the Loan Supplement for each Equipment Advance, the Basic Rate, the Loan Factor, and the Payment Dates.

Borrowers will make payments monthly in advance of principal and accrued interest for each Equipment Advance (collectively, “Scheduled Payments”), on the first Business Day of the month following the Funding Date (or commencing on the Funding Date if the Funding Date is the first Business Day of the month) with respect to such Equipment Advance and continuing thereafter during the Repayment Period on the first Business Day of each calendar month (each a “Payment Date”), in an amount equal to the Loan Factor multiplied by the Loan Amount for such Equipment Advance as of such Payment Date. All unpaid principal and accrued interest is due and payable in full on the last Payment Date with respect to such Equipment Advance. Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. An Equipment Advance may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.1.2(d) and 2.1.2(f).

If any change in the law increases Bank’s expenses or decreases its return from the Equipment Advances, Borrowers will pay Bank (upon request and delivery by Bank to Borrowers of a description of such increased expenses or decreased returns and the methods by which Bank has allocated such increases or decreases to its customers) the amount of such increase or decrease.
(c) Interim Payment. In addition to the Scheduled Payments, on the Funding Date for each Equipment Advance (unless the Funding Date is the first Business Day of the month) Borrowers shall pay to Bank, on behalf of Bank, the projected interest to accrue from the Funding Date to the first Payment Date, at the Basic Rate.
(d) Prepayment Upon an Event of Loss. If any Financed Equipment is subject to an Event of Loss and Borrowers are required to or elect to prepay the Equipment Advance with respect to such Financed Equipment pursuant to Section 6.7, then such Equipment Advance shall be prepaid to the extent and in the manner provided in such section.
(e) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration.

(f) Permitted Prepayment of Loans. Borrowers shall have the option to prepay any Equipment Advance (or all Equipment Advances) advanced by Bank under this Agreement, provided Borrowers (i) provide written notice to Bank of its election to prepay such Equipment Advance at least thirty (30) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays, on the date of the prepayment (A) all outstanding principal; (B) all unpaid accrued interest to the date of the prepayment; (C) a prepayment fee (the “Prepayment Fee”) equal to (i) one and one half of one percent (1.5%) of the amount prepaid if the

2.2 Requests for Advances, Etc.
(a) Each of the Borrowers hereby represents and warrants to Bank that each such Borrower will derive benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of each Credit Extension, both in its individual capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which the Borrowers belong, because the successful operation of the integrated group referred to in this Agreement as “the Borrowers” is dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole.
(b) The Borrowers, in the discretion of their respective managements, are to agree among themselves as to the allocation of the benefits of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions and the purposes for which such benefits and proceeds will be used, provided that no allocation, purpose or use shall be in violation of this Agreement. For administrative convenience, each Borrower is hereby irrevocably appointed by each and every other Borrower as agent for each and every other Borrower for the purpose of requesting Credit Extensions, receiving the benefits of the proceeds of such Credit Extensions, and disbursing the proceeds of such Credit Extensions among the Borrowers. By reason thereof, each Borrower is hereby irrevocably appointed by each and every other Borrower with power and authority through its duly authorized officer or officers (i) to endorse any check (if any) for the proceeds of any Credit Extension for and on behalf of each and every Borrower and in the name of each and every Borrower, and (ii) to instruct Bank to credit the proceeds of any Credit Extension directly to a banking account of one or more of the Borrowers which shall evidence the making of such Credit Extension and shall constitute the acknowledgment by each and every Borrower of the receipt of the proceeds of such Credit Extension. Bank may require from time to time such certificates, reports and other items as Bank may reasonably deem necessary to evidence the allocation of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions among the Borrowers. In particular, Bank may require from time to time that any advances of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions by one or more of the Borrowers be evidenced by one or more promissory notes or other written instruments or agreements between one or more of the Borrowers to evidence intercompany receivables between one or more of the Borrowers. All actions taken by each Borrower in connection with the Credit Extensions and the Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to be the joint and several actions of the Borrowers even though any one Borrower may act from time to time in its name alone. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable without the prior written consent of Bank.
(c) Without implying any limitation on the joint and several nature of the Obligations, Bank agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers may create inter-company indebtedness between and/or among the Borrowers with respect to the allocation of the benefits and proceeds of the advances under this Agreement. The Borrowers agree among themselves, and Bank consents to that agreement, that each and every Borrower shall have rights of contribution from all of the other Borrowers to the extent each such Borrower incurs Obligations in excess of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions received by, or allocated to purposes for the direct benefit of, each such Borrower. All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and are hereby agreed by the Borrowers to be, subordinate in priority and payment to the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, and, unless Bank agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or in part until all of the Obligations have been satisfied, provided, however, that prior to the occurrence of a payment Default, the Borrowers shall be permitted to make payments on account of any such inter-company indebtedness
3
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. Each and every Borrower hereby waives all rights of counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on account of that indebtedness. Unless required by the laws of the United States or the country where such indebtedness is created, each and every Borrower agrees not to evidence that indebtedness or rights by note or other instrument, and shall not secure that indebtedness with any mortgage, security agreement or otherwise.
(d) Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrowers to make Credit Extensions to the Borrowers, all pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers under the provisions of the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions of the Borrowers on file with Bank or as otherwise designated in writing by the Borrowers. Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Bank assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests and confirmations between Bank and the Borrowers in connection with any of Credit Extension, or any other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement.

8 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Any one of the following is an Event of Default:
8.1 Payment Default.
If Borrowers fail to pay any of the Obligations when due and such failure shall continue for three (3) Business Days. During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);
8.2 Covenant Default.
If any Borrower does not perform any obligation in Section 6 or violates any covenant in Section 7; or if any Borrower does not perform or observe any other material term, condition or covenant in this Agreement, any Loan Documents, or in any agreement between any Borrower and Bank; and in each such case, as to any default under a term, condition or covenant that can be cured, has not cured the default within fifteen (15) days from the earlier of (i) notice from Bank of such default to a Responsible Officer of the Company or (ii) actual knowledge of such default by an officer of any Borrower, provided, however, if the default cannot be cured within fifteen (15) days or cannot be cured after the defaulting Borrower’s attempts within such fifteen (15) day period, and the default may be cured within a reasonable time, then the defaulting Borrower has an additional period (of not more than thirty (30) days) to attempt to cure the default. During the additional time, the failure to cure the default is not an Event of Default (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);
8.3 Material Adverse Change.
If there (i) occurs a material adverse change in the business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (ii) is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations or (iii) is a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral.
11
8.4 Attachment.
If any material portion of any Borrower’s assets is attached, seized, levied on, or comes into possession of a trustee or receiver and the attachment, seizure or levy is not removed in ten (10) days, or if any Borrower is enjoined, restrained, or prevented by court order from conducting a material part of its business or if a judgment or other claim becomes a Lien on a material portion of any Borrower’s assets, or if a notice of lien, levy, or assessment is filed against any of any Borrower’s assets by any government agency and not paid within ten (10) days after such Borrower receives notice. These are not Events of Default if stayed or if a bond is posted pending contest by such Borrower (but no Credit Extensions will be made during the cure period);
8.5 Insolvency.
If any Borrower becomes insolvent or if any Borrower begins an Insolvency Proceeding or an Insolvency Proceeding is begun against any Borrower and not dismissed or stayed within forty-five (45) days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before any Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed);
8.6 Other Agreements.
If there is a default in any agreement between any Borrower and a third party that gives the third party the right to accelerate any Indebtedness exceeding $3,000,000 or that could cause a Material Adverse Change;
8.7 Judgments.
If a money judgment(s) in the aggregate of at least $3,000,000 is rendered against any Borrower and is unsatisfied and unstayed for 10 days (but no Credit Extensions will be made before the judgment is stayed or satisfied);

Any circumstance described in Sections 8.4, 8.5 or 8.7 occurs to any Material Subsidiary of any Borrower.
9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
9.1 Rights and Remedies.
When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);
(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Borrower and Bank;
(c) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it
12
available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;
(d) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Borrower, Bank or its Affiliate it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower;
(e) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral;
(f) Exercise a right of set off or bank lien as to any monies of any Borrower deposited in any accounts of any nature maintained by any Borrower with Bank or any Affiliate of Bank, without advance notice, regardless of whether such accounts are general or special. Each Borrower, Bank and any Affiliate of Bank at which any such accounts are maintained agree that such Affiliate shall comply with any instructions given by Bank with respect to the disposition of funds held in any such account without further consent of any Borrower; and
(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.
9.2 Power of Attorney.
Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, each Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; and (iii) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign each Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred if Borrower has refused to do so upon the Bank’s request. Bank’s appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3 Omitted.
9.4 Bank Expenses.
If any Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.
If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative.
Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in
13
equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand Waiver.
Each Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrowers are liable.
