          shall not  select a Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest  Period  that

          would extend beyond the Line of Credit  Expiration Date. Each interest

          rate is a rate per annum. At the end of any Line of Credit  Applicable

          Interest Period,  the interest rate will revert to the Regular Line of

          Credit Interest Rate, unless Borrower has designated  another Optional

          Line of  Credit  Interest  Rate  for that  Line of  Credit  LIBO  Rate

          Portion.

 

          Designation  of a Line of Credit  LIBO Rate  Portion  shall be made by

          delivery or telephone facsimile transmission to Bank of written notice

          signed  by  an  Authorized   Officer  of  such   election,   including

          designation  of the amount of the  proposed  Line of Credit  LIBO Rate

          Portion,  the proposed Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest Period and

          the proposed effective date of the election. The notice shall be given

          at least three (3) Banking  Days in advance of the  effective  date of

          the  election.  The  election  shall also be subject to the  following

          requirements:

 

     i.   The Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest  Period during which the LIBO

          Rate will be in effect will be three (3)  months,  so long as no Event

          of Default has occurred and is  continuing.  In  determining a Line of

          Credit Applicable  Interest Period, a month means a period that starts

          on one  Banking  Day in a  month  and  ends  on and  includes  the day

          preceding the numerically corresponding day in the next month. For any

          month in which there is no such numerically corresponding day, then as

          to that month, such day shall be deemed to be the last calendar day of

          such month. Any Line of Credit Applicable  Interest Period which would

          otherwise  end on a non-Banking  Day shall end on the next  succeeding

          Banking  Day unless  that is the first day of a month,  in which event

          such Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest Period shall end on the next

          preceding Banking Day.

 

     ii.  Each Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion  shall be for an amount not less

          than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).

 

     iii. The  "LIBO  Rate"  shall  mean,  for each  Line of  Credit  Applicable

          Interest  Period with  respect to a Line of Credit LIBO Rate  Portion,

          the per annum rate  determined  by the Bank as of the first day of the

          Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest Period to be equal to the rate at

          which  U.S.  dollar  deposits  can be  acquired  by Bank in the London

          Interbank   Eurocurrency  Market  two  (2)  Banking  Days  before  the

          commencement of such Line of Credit  Applicable  Interest Period in an

          amount comparable to such Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion.

 

     iv.  No Line of Credit LIBO Rate Portion bearing  interest at the LIBO Rate

          may be  converted  to a  different  rate  during  the  Line of  Credit

          Applicable Interest Period.

     v.   Each  prepayment  of a Line  of  Credit  LIBO  Rate  Portion,  whether

          voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied

          by the  amount  of  accrued  interest  on the  amount  prepaid,  and a

          prepayment  fee equal to the amount  (if any) by which the  additional

          interest  which would have been  payable on the amount  prepaid had it

          not been  paid  until  the last day of the Line of  Credit  Applicable

          Interest Period exceeds the interest which would have been recoverable

          by Bank by  placing  the  amount  prepaid  on deposit in the LIBO Rate

          Market for a period  starting  on the date on which it was prepaid and

          ending on the last day of the interest  period for such Line of Credit

          LIBO Rate Portion.  Any such calculation  shall be made by Bank in the

          same manner in which such  calculation is made in respect to all other

          customers  of Bank  and Bank  shall,  upon the  request  of  Borrower,

          deliver  to  Borrower  all  backup  information  showing  how any such

          prepayment fee is calculated.

     a.   Line of Credit.

 

     i.   Borrower  shall pay  interest  monthly in  arrears on the  outstanding

          balance under the Line of Credit  commencing on September 1, 2005, and

          then on the first  Banking Day of each month  thereafter,  except that

          interest  accruing at the Optional Line of Credit  Interest Rate shall

          be due at the end of the applicable Interest Rate Period.

 

     ii.  Borrower shall pay in full, all principal,  interest and other charges

          outstanding  under the Line of Credit no later than the Line of Credit

          Expiration Date.

3.5      Fees.

 

     a.   Facility Fee. Borrower agrees to pay the amount of Eight-Five Thousand

          Dollars  ($85,000.00)  to Bank as a loan  fee for the  Line of  Credit

          ("Facility Fee").

 

     b.   Renewal Fee.  Borrower agrees to pay a fee equal to one-quarter of one

          percent (0.25%) of the Bank's  committed amount for the Line of Credit

          upon any renewal of the Line of Credit.

 

     c.   Unused Commitment Fee. For the Line of Credit,  Borrower agrees to pay

          a fee  ("Unused  Commitment  Fee") equal to the product of one-half of

          one percent  (0.50%)  multiplied by the difference  between  Seventeen

          Million Dollars  ($17,000,000.00) and the amount of credit extended to

          Borrower,  determined by the Average Loan Balance,  as defined  below,

          maintained during the Line of Credit Availability Period. For purposes

          of this section,  the "Average Loan Balance" is calculated by dividing

          the sum of the daily loan  balances  on the Line of Credit  during the

          applicable  period by the number of days in that  period.  This fee is

          due and payable each  calendar  quarter in arrears,  and is due on the

          tenth (10th) day of each of the  following  months  during the Line of

          Credit  Availability  Period:   October,   January,  April  and  July,
