Interest.
The
unpaid principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate
described in the Interest Rate Rider attached to this Note.
Payment
Schedule.
Interest
is payable beginning NOVEMBER 30, 2009, and on the same date of each consecutive
month thereafter (except that if a given month does not have such a date, the
last day of such month), plus a final interest payment with the final payment of
principal.
Interest
will be computed for the actual number of days principal is unpaid, using a
daily factor obtained by dividing the stated interest
rate by 360.
Notwithstanding
any provision of this Note to the contrary, upon any default or at any time
during the continuation thereof (including failure to pay upon maturity), the
Bank may, at its option and subject to applicable law, increase the interest
rate on this Note to a rate of 5% per annum plus the interest rate otherwise
payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to applicable law,
upon the occurrence of a default by the Borrower or any guarantor involving
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership proceedings or an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, the interest rate on this Note shall automatically
increase to a rate of 5% per annum plus the rate otherwise payable
hereunder.
In no
event will the interest rate hereunder exceed that permitted by applicable law.
If any interest or other charge is finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, the interest or
charge shall be reduced to the maximum permitted by law, and the Bank may credit
any excess amount previously collected against the balance due or refund the
amount to the Borrower.
Subject
to applicable law, if any payment is not made on or before its due date, the
Bank may collect a delinquency charge of 5 .00
% of the unpaid amount. Collection of the late payment fee shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of the Bank's right to declare a default
hereunder.
Without
affecting the liability of any Borrower, endorser, surety or guarantor, the Bank
may, without notice, renew or extend the time for payment, accept partial
payments, release or impair any collateral security for the payment of this
Note, or agree not to sue any party liable on it.
This
Revolving Credit Note constitutes the Note issued under a Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Borrower and the Bank, to

conditions under which loans evidenced hereby were or may be made and a

CREDIT AGREEMENT
This
Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into by and between the undersigned borrower (the "Borrower") and the
undersigned bank (the "Bank")
as of the date set forth on the last page of this Agreement.
ARTICLE
I. LOANS
1.1 Revolving Credit Loans.
From time to time prior to __ NOVEMER
30,
2010
(the "Maturity
Date") or the earlier
termination hereof, the Borrower may borrow from the Bank for working capital
purposes up to the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time of the
lesser of (i)$2,500,000.00 (the
"Loan Amount"), less
letters of credit issued by the Bank, or (ii) if applicable, the Borrowing Base (defined
below). All revolving loans hereunder will be evidenced by a single
promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Bank in the
principal amount of the Loan Amount (the "Note"). Although the Note
will be expressed to be payable in the full Loan Amount, the Borrower will be
obligated to pay only the amounts actually disbursed hereunder, together with
accrued interest on the outstanding balance at the rates and on the dates
specified therein and such other charges provided for herein. In the event that
the principal amount outstanding under the Note exceeds the Borrowing Base at
any time, the Borrower will immediately, without request, prepay an amount
sufficient to eliminate such excess.
1.2 Borrowing Base. The Borrowing
Base, if any, will
be as set forth in an addendum to this Agreement.
1.3 Advances After Maturity or In Excess
of Maximum Loan Amount. The Bank shall have no obligation whatsoever, and
the Bank has no present intention, to make any advance after the Maturity Date
or which would cause the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement to
exceed the maximum loan amount or any other limitations on advances stated in
this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may from time to time,
in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to make an advance after the Maturity
Date or which would cause the principal amount of advances outstanding under
this Agreement to exceed the maximum loan amount or any of the other limitations
on advances. The Borrower is and shall be and remain unconditionally liable to
the Bank for the amount of all advances, including, without limitation, advances
in excess of the maximum loan amount or any other limitation on advances and
advances made after the Maturity Date. Immediately upon the Bank's demand, the
Borrower shall pay to the Bank the amount of any advances made after the
Maturity Date or in excess of the maximum loan amount or any other limitation on
advances contained in this Agreement, together with interest on the principal
amount of such excess advances, for so long as such advances are outstanding, at
the highest interest rate from time to time in effect for such advances. Any
such advances shall not be deemed an extension of this Agreement nor an increase
in the maximum loan amount available for borrowing under this
Agreement.
1.4 Advances and Paying Procedure.
The Bank is authorized and directed to credit any of the Borrower's
accounts with the Bank (or to the account the Borrower designates in writing)
for all loans made hereunder, and the Bank is authorized to debit such account
or any other account of the Borrower with the Bank for the amount of any
principal, interest or expenses due under the Note or other amount due hereunder
on the due date with respect thereto. If, upon any request by the Borrower to
the Bank to issue a wire transfer, there is an inconsistency between the name of
the recipient of the wire and its identification number as specified by the
Borrower, the Bank may, without liability, transmit the payment via wire based
solely upon the identification number.
1.5 Closing Fee. The Borrower will
pay the Bank a one-time closing fee of $ n/a contemporaneously
with execution
of this Agreement. This fee is in addition to all other fees, expenses and other
amounts due hereunder.

Borrower will pay a loan facility fee equal to:
$ n/a per
annum, payable annually in advance; (or)

difference between the Loan Amount and the actual daily unpaid principal amount
of the Note outstanding from time to time, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the
last business day of each third calendar month, and at maturity;
(or)
n/a To
per annum of the actual daily unpaid principal amount of the Note outstanding
from time to time,
payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last business day of each third calendar
month, and at maturity.
The loan
facility fee is payable
for the entire period that this Agreement is in effect, regardless of whether
any amounts are outstanding hereunder at any given time.
1.7 Expenses and Attorneys' Fees.
Upon demand, the Borrower will immediately reimburse the Bank and any
participant in the Obligations (defined below) ("Participant") for all
attorneys' fees and all other costs, fees and out-of-pocket disbursements
incurred by the Bank or any Participant in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, defense and enforcement of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents (defined below), including attorneys' fees
and all other costs and fees (a) incurred before or after commencement of

are less than the requirements set forth above, computed at a rate equal to the
rate set forth in the Note.

Bank will not be obligated to make (or continue to make) advances hereunder
unless (i) the Bank has received executed originals of the Note and all other

ARTICLE
II. WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
While any
part of the credit granted to the Borrower under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents is available or any obligations under any of the Loan Documents
are unpaid or outstanding, the Borrower continuously warrants and agrees as
follows:
2.1 Accuracy of Information. All
information, certificates or statements given to the Bank pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be true and complete when
given.
2.2 Organization and Authority;
Litigation. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower
in accordance with their terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a parry (i) are
within the borrower's power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all appropriate
entity action; (iii) do not require the approval of any governmental agency; and
(iv) will not violate any law, agreement or restriction by which the Borrower is
bound. If the Borrower is not an individual, the Borrower is validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, has all
requisite power and authority and possesses all licenses necessary to conduct
its business and own its properties. There is no litigation or administrative
proceeding threatened or pending against the Borrower which would, if adversely
determined, have a material adverse effect on the Borrower's financial condition
or its property.
2.3 Existence; Business Activities;
Assets; Change of Control. The Borrower will (i) preserve its existence,
rights and franchises; (ii) not make any material change in the nature or manner
of its business activities; (iii) not liquidate, dissolve, acquire another
entity or merge or consolidate with or into another entity or change its form of
organization; (iv) not amend its organizational documents in any manner that may
conflict with any term or condition of the Loan Documents; and (v) not sell,
lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets.
Other than the transfer to a trust beneficially controlled by the transferor, no
event shall occur which causes or results in a transfer of majority ownership of
the Borrower while any Obligations are outstanding or while the Bank has any
obligation to provide funding to the Borrower.
2.4 Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock;
Speculation. Advances by the Bank hereunder will be used exclusively by
the Borrower for working capital and other regular and valid purposes. The
Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of the Bank, redeem,
purchase, or retire any of the capital stock or declare or pay any dividends, or
make any other payments or distributions of a similar type or nature including
withdrawal distributions. The Borrower will not use any of the loan proceeds to
purchase or carry "margin" stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of any of the proceeds will be
used for speculative investment purposes, including, without limitation,
speculating or hedging in the commodities and/or futures market.
2.5 Environmental Matters. Except
as disclosed in a written schedule attached to this Agreement (if no schedule is
attached, there are no exceptions), there exists no uncorrected violation by the
Borrower of any federal, state or local laws (including statutes, regulations,
ordinances or other governmental restrictions and requirements) relating to the
discharge of air pollutants, water pollutants or process waste water or
otherwise relating to the environment or Hazardous Substances as hereinafter
defined, whether such laws currently exist or are enacted in the future
(collectively "Environmental
Laws"). The term "Hazardous Substances" will
mean any hazardous or toxic wastes, chemicals or other substances, the
generation, possession or existence of which is prohibited or governed by any
Environmental Laws. The Borrower is not subject to any judgment, decree, order
or citation, or a parry to (or threatened with) any litigation or administrative
proceeding, which asserts that the Borrower (i) has violated any Environmental
Laws; (ii) is required to clean up, remove or take
remedial or other action with respect to any Hazardous Substances (collectively
"Remedial Action"); or
(iii) is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any Remedial Action, as
a potentially responsible party. Except as disclosed on the Borrower's
environmental questionnaire provided to the Bank, there are not now, nor to the
Borrower's knowledge after reasonable investigation have there ever been, any
Hazardous Substances (or tanks or other facilities for the storage of Hazardous
Substances) stored, deposited, recycled or disposed of on, under or at any real
estate owned or occupied by the Borrower during the periods that the Borrower
owned or occupied such real estate, which if present on the real estate or in
soils or ground water, could require Remedial Action. To the Borrower's
knowledge, there are no proposed or pending changes in Environmental Laws which
would adversely affect the Borrower or its business, and there are no conditions
existing currently or likely to exist while the Loan Documents are in effect
which would subject the Borrower to Remedial Action or other liability. The
Borrower currently complies with and will continue to timely comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws; and will provide the Bank, immediately upon
receipt, copies of any correspondence, notice, complaint, order or other
document from any source asserting or alleging any circumstance or condition
which requires or may require a financial contribution by the Borrower or
Remedial Action or other response by or on the part of the Borrower under
Environmental Laws, or which seeks damages or civil, criminal or punitive
penalties from the Borrower for an alleged violation of Environmental
Laws.
2.6 Compliance with Laws. The
Borrower has complied with all laws applicable to its business and its
properties, and has all permits, licenses and approvals required by such laws,
copies of which have been provided to the Bank.
2.7 Restriction on Indebtedness.
The Borrower will not create, incur, assume or have outstanding any
indebtedness for borrowed money (including capitalized leases) except (i) any
indebtedness owing to the Bank and its affiliates, and (ii) any other
indebtedness outstanding on the date hereof, and shown on the Borrower's
financial statements delivered to the Bank prior to the date hereof, provided
that such her indebtedness will not be increased.
2.8 Restriction on Liens. The
Borrower will not create, incur, assume or permit to exist any mortgage, pledge,
encumbrance or other lien or levy upon or security interest in any of the
Borrower's property now owned or hereafter acquired, except (i) taxes and
assessments which are either not delinquent or which are being contested in good
faith with adequate reserves provided; (ii) easements, restrictions and minor We
irregularities which do not, as a practical matter, have an adverse effect upon
the ownership and use of the affected property; (iii) liens in favor of the Bank
and its affiliates; and (iv) other liens disclosed in writing to the Bank prior
to the date hereof.
2.9 Restriction on Contingent
Liabilities. The Borrower will not guarantee or become a surety or
otherwise contingently liable for any obligations of others, except pursuant to
the deposit and collection of checks and similar matters in the ordinary course
of business.
2.10
Insurance. The Borrower
will maintain insurance to such extent, covering such risks and with such
insurers as is usual and customary for businesses operating similar properties,
and as is satisfactory to the Bank, including insurance for fire and other risks
insured against by extended coverage, public liability insurance and workers'
compensation insurance; and will designate the Bank as loss payee with a
'Lender's Loss Payable' endorsement on any casualty policies and take such other
action as the Bank may reasonably request to ensure that the Bank will receive
(subject to no other interests) the insurance proceeds on the Bank's
collateral.
2.11
Taxes and Other Liabilities.
The Borrower will pay and discharge, when due, all of its taxes,
assessments and other liabilities, except when the payment thereof is being
contested in good faith by appropriate procedures which will avoid foreclosure
of liens securing such items, and with adequate reserves provided
therefor.
2.12
Financial Statements and
Reporting. The financial statements and other information previously
provided to the Bank or provided to the Bank in the future are or will be
complete and accurate and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. There has been no material adverse change in the
Borrower's financial condition since such information was provided to the Bank.
The Borrower will (i) maintain accounting records in accordance with generally
recognized and accepted principles of accounting consistently applied throughout
the accounting periods involved; (ii) provide the Bank with such information
concerning its business affairs and financial condition (including insurance
coverage) as the Bank may request; and (iii) without request, provide the Bank
with such specific financial statements, certifications and/or information as
may be set forth in an addendum to this Agreement.
2.13
Inspection of Properties and
Records; Fiscal Year. The Borrower will permit representatives of the
Bank to visit and inspect any of the properties and examine any of the books and
records of the Borrower at any reasonable time and as often as the Bank may
reasonably desire. The Borrower will not change its fiscal year.
2.14
Financial Status.
Financial Covenants, if any, will be as set forth in an addendum to this
Agreement.

Agreement and the Note must be paid in full for a period of at
least
n/a consecutive
days during each fiscal year.

would otherwise have.
6.2 Relationship to her Documents.
The warranties, covenants and other obligations of the Borrower (and the
rights and remedies of the Bank) that are outlined in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents are intended to supplement each other. In the event of any
inconsistencies in any of the terms in the Loan Documents, all terms will be
cumulative so as to give the Bank the most favorable rights set forth in the
conflicting documents, except that if there is a direct conflict between any
preprinted terms and specifically negotiated terms (whether included in an
addendum or otherwise), the specifically negotiated terms will
control.
6.3 Successors. The rights,
options, powers and remedies granted in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Bank and their respective
successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the
Bank and the successors and assigns of the Bank, including without limitation
any purchaser of any or all of the rights and obligations of the Bank under the
Note and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower may not assign its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents without the prior
written consent of the Bank.
6.4 Disclosure. The Bank may, in
connection with any sale or potential sale of all or any interest in the Note
and other Loan Documents, disclose any financial information the Bank may have
concerning the Borrower to any purchaser or potential purchaser. From time to
time, the Bank may, in its discretion and without obligation to the Borrower,
any Guarantor or any other third party, disclose information about the Borrower
and this loan to any Guarantor, surety or other accommodation party. This
provision does not obligate the Bank to supply any information or release the
Borrower from its obligation to provide such information, and the Borrower
agrees to keep all Guarantors, sureties or other accommodation parties advised
of its financial condition and other matters which may be relevant to their
obligations to the Bank.
6.5 Indemnification. Except for
harm arising from the Bank's willful misconduct, the Borrower hereby indemnifies
and agrees to defend and hold the Bank harmless from any and all losses, costs,
damages, claims and expenses of any kind suffered by or asserted against the
Bank relating to claims by third parties arising out of the financing provided
under the Loan Documents or related to any collateral (including, without
limitation, the Borrower's failure to perform its obligations relating to
Environmental Matters described in Section 2.5 above). This indemnification and
hold harmless provision will survive the termination of the Loan Documents and
the satisfaction of the Obligations due the Bank.
6.6 Notice of Claims Against Bank;
Limitation of Certain Damages. In order to allow the Bank to mitigate any
damages to the Borrower from the Bank's alleged breach of its
duties under the Loan Documents or any other duty, if any, to the
Borrower, the Borrower agrees to give the Bank immediate written notice of any
claim or defense it has against the Bank, whether in tort or contract, relating
to any action or inaction by the Bank under the Loan Documents, or the
transactions related thereto, or of any defense to payment of the Obligations
for any reason. The requirement of providing timely notice to the Bank
represents the parties' agreed-to standard of performance regarding claims
against the Bank. Notwithstanding any claim that the Borrower may have against
the Bank, and regardless of any notice the Borrower may have given the Bank,
the Bank will not be liable to
the Borrower for consequential and/or special damages arising therefrom,
except those damages arising from the Bank's willful
misconduct.
6.7 Notices. Notice of any record
shall be deemed delivered when the record has been (a) deposited in the United
States Mail, postage pre-paid, (b) received by overnight delivery service, (c)
received by telex, (d) received by telecopy, (e) received through the
intern, or (l when personally delivered.
6.8 Payments. Payments due
under the Note and other Loan Documents will be made in lawful money of the
United States. All payments may be applied by the Bank to principal, interest
and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in any order which the Bank
elects.
6.9 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction;
Interpretation; Joint Liability; Severability. This Agreement and all
other Loan Documents will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Oregon except to the
extent superseded by Federal law. THE BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITUATED IN THE COUNTY OR FEDERAL
JURISDICTION OF THE BANK'S BRANCH WHERE THE LOAN WAS ORIGINATED, AND WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS,
WITH REGARD TO ANY ACTIONS, CLAIMS, DISPUTES OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE COLLATERAL, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY
TRANSACTIONS ARISING THEREFROM, OR ENFORCEMENT AND/OR INTERPRETATION OF ANY OF
THE FOREGOING. Nothing herein will
affect the Bank's rights to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or
limit the Bank's right to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the
competent courts of any other jurisdiction or jurisdictions. This Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any amendments hereto (regardless of when executed)
will be deemed effective and accepted only upon the Bank's receipt of the
executed originals thereof. If there is more than one Borrower, the liability of
the Borrowers will be joint and several, and the reference to 'Borrower will be
deemed to refer to all Borrowers. Invalidity of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity of any other provision.

NOTICE
OF FORCED PLACED INSURANCE
WARNING
Unless
you provide us with evidence of the insurance coverage as required by our
contract or loan agreement, we may purchase insurance at your expense to protect
our interest. This insurance may, but need not, also protect your interest. If
the collateral becomes damaged, the coverage we purchase may not pay any claim
you make or any claim made against you. You may later cancel this coverage by
providing evidence that you have obtained property coverage
elsewhere.
You are
responsible for the cost of any insurance purchased by us. The cost of this
insurance may be added to your contract or loan balance. If the cost is added to
your contract or loan balance, the interest rate on the underlying contract or
loan will apply to this added amount. The effective date of coverage may be the
date your prior coverage lapsed or the date you failed to provide proof of
coverage.
The
coverage we purchase may be considerably more expensive than insurance you can
obtain on your own and may not satisfy any need for property damage coverage or
any mandatory liability insurance requirements imposed by applicable
law.
For purposes of this warning, "you"
means any of the undersigned borrower(s) or grantor(s)/mortgagor(s)/debtor(s),
and "we" or "us" means U.S. BANK
