CITIZENS BANK OF MASSACHUSETTS    LOAN AGREEMENT
   October 17, 2006

This Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between Cybex International, Inc., a New York corporation having a principal place of business at 10 Trotter Drive, Medway, Massachusetts 02053 (the “Borrower”) and Citizens Bank of Massachusetts, a Massachusetts banking corporation with its principal place of business at 28 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109 (the “Bank”), with respect to a loan (the “Loan”) in the original principal amount of Thirteen Million Dollars ($13,000.000.00) (the “Loan Amount”) to be evidenced by, among other things, a Commercial Promissory Note to be made by the Borrower payable to the order of the Bank, as amended, extended, and modified from time to time (the “Note”).

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, Borrower and Bank hereby agree as follows:

BACKGROUND

The Borrower has entered into a Lease Agreement dated August 22, 2006 (the “Lease”) with First Industrial Development Services, Inc. (the “Seller”) with respect to Borrower’s lease and purchase of the real property currently known as Lot 1 and Outlot A of Block 1, Ebeling Farm Addition, Owatonna, Minnesota (the “Land”). The Lease requires Seller to construct on the Land a three hundred forty thousand (340,000) square foot manufacturing/office facility (the “Improvements”) for use by Borrower in the manufacture of fitness equipment. The Lease further provides that upon substantial completion of the Improvements (expected to be on or before June 30, 2007) the Borrower will pay the purchase price and complete the acquisition of the Land and Improvements (the “Acquisition”). The Lease allows the construction of the Improvements and contemplates the Acquisition upon substantial completion thereof.

In connection with the financing of the Acquisition, the Borrower has requested and the Bank has agreed (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) to establish the Loan. The advance of the Loan Amount by the Bank (the “Funding”) shall occur only upon satisfaction of the Conditions to Loan Funding set forth in Section 5 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower has requested and the Bank has agreed (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) to fix the rate of interest it will pay on the Loan by entering into a forward rate lock via an interest rate swap agreement (the “Hedging Agreement”). In order to secure the Borrower’s obligations under the Hedging Agreement, the Borrower has agreed to provide the Bank with the Negative Pledge or the Substitute Collateral (each as defined below).

This Agreement is intended to set forth the terms and conditions relating to the Borrower’s purchase of the Hedging Agreement, the establishment of the Loan, and the Funding of the Loan Amount.

 


1. Funding under Note; Term of Note; Interest Rate; Hedging Agreement

(a) Agreement to Advance Funds under Note . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note, the Bank hereby agrees to advance the Loan Amount for the Acquisition. The amounts of all advances under the Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents (as defined in Section 2 below).

(b) Term . The term of the Loan shall be seven (7) years from the date of the Note during which period Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest and principal as more particularly set forth in the Note.

(c) Interest Rate . The Loan Amount shall bear interest at a rate or rates of interest as same may be adjusted as provided in the Note. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual day months.

(d) Hedging Agreement . In connection with the establishment of the Loan, the Borrower has purchased the Hedging Agreement for a period expiring on July 2, 2014, pursuant to which the Borrower shall make payments of interest and principal on the Note. The Hedging Agreement creates certain obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Bank independent of this Loan Agreement and the Note. The Borrower shall comply with all terms, conditions and requirements of the Hedging Agreement as provided therein.

2. Security .

(a) Security . The Note and the other Liabilities (as defined below) shall be secured by (i) a certain Mortgage, Security Agreement and Assignment from the Borrower to Bank (the “Mortgage”) encumbering the real property with all improvements thereon known as Lot 1 and Outlot A of Block 1, Ebeling Farm Addition, Owatonna, Minnesota, (the collateral described in the Mortgage may be referred to as the “Mortgaged Property”). In addition, the Borrower’s Liabilities to the Bank under this Agreement and the Hedging Agreement shall be secured by a Negative Pledge Agreement (the “Negative Pledge”) from Borrower relative to the premises located at 10 Trotter Drive, Medway, Massachusetts 02053 (the “Medway Property”). In lieu of the Negative Pledge the Borrower may, at its option, deliver to the Bank substitute collateral with a valuation of not less than $325,000.00 (the “Substitute Collateral”), which Substitute Collateral must be in form and substance (including, without limitation, a perfected security interest) satisfactory to the Bank in its sole discretion.

(b) Agreement Regarding Negative Pledge/Substitute Collateral . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Bank agrees to release the Negative Pledge/Substitute Collateral upon the advance of the Loan Amount as contemplated hereunder, acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by Borrower and the filing of the Mortgage creating in the Bank a first mortgage interest in and to the Mortgaged Property.

(c) Loan Documents . This Loan Agreement, the Hedging Agreement, the Mortgage, the Note, the Negative Pledge, any documentation necessary to the assignment and perfection of the Substitute Collateral and all other agreements, documents and instruments relating to or securing the Loan are collectively referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.
