(Third Revision) |
1. PROMISE TO PAY. On or before July 30, 2007 (the Maturity Date), the undersigned,
Lanvision, Inc., an Ohio corporation located at 10200 Alliance Road, Suite 200, Cincinnati,
Hamilton County, Ohio 45242 (Borrower) for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of
Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 38 Fountain Square Plaza, Cincinnati,
Hamilton County, Ohio 45263 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp
(together with its successors and assigns, the Lender) the sum of Two Million and 00/100 Dollars
($2,000,000.00) (the Borrowing), plus interest as provided herein, less such amounts as shall
have been repaid in accordance with this Note which is a revision and restatement of that note
originally executed on July 30, 2004 and revised and restated on September 2, 2005. The outstanding
balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face
amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
As used herein, Local Time means the time at the office of Lender specified in this Note.
Principal and interest payments shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this
Note from Borrowers account through BillPayer 2000®. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate
such payments from Borrowers account located at Fifth Third Bank, routing number 042000314 account
number 729-02425. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of BillPayer 2000® shall be governed by
the BillPayer 2000® Terms and Conditions, a copy of which Borrower acknowledges receipt. Borrower
further acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through BillPayer 2000® throughout
the term of this Note. Each payment hereunder shall be applied first to advanced costs, charges and
fees, then to accrued interest, and then to principal.
Principal shall be due and payable in 2 installments, each in the amount of $1,000,000.00, due on
July 30, 2006 and July 30, 2007; provided that the entire principal balance, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder
shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the
Note.
As of September 2, 2005, the principal sum outstanding shall bear interest at a floating rate per
annum equal to the rate of interest per annum established from time to time by Fifth Third Bank at
its principal office as its Prime Rate, whether or not Fifth Third Bank shall at times lend to
borrowers at lower rates of interest or, if there is no such prime rate, then such other rate as
may be substituted by Fifth Third Bank for the prime rate (the Interest Rate). In the event of a
change in said Prime Rate, the Interest Rate shall be changed immediately to such new Prime Rate.
Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days
elapsed, and shall be payable on the last day of each quarter beginning on October 31, 2005.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate
charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state
and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable
law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to
reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to
Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the
highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
2. SECURITY AGREEMENT.To secure repayment of this Note and all other Obligations (as
defined below) together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof, Borrower hereby
grants Lender a continuing security interest in all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to
the following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the Collateral):
(i) any and all property in which Lender and/or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (including
without limitation Fifth Third Securities, Inc.) is at any time granted a lien for any Obligation
including, without limitation, all

collateral specified in any of the documents executed in connection with this Note, (ii) all
property in possession of Lender and/or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (including without
limitation Fifth Third Securities, Inc.) including, without limitation, money, securities,
instruments, documents, letters of credit, chattel paper, or other property delivered to Lender in
transit, for safekeeping, or for collection or exchange for other property, (iii) all rights to
payment from, and claims against, Lender and/or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (including
without limitation Fifth Third Securities, Inc.), and (iv) any and all additions, substitutions,
dividends, distributions (in the form of cash, property, stock or other securities) and other
rights related or in addition to the foregoing, and any and all proceeds therefrom (the
Distributions). Borrower agrees to immediately deliver to Lender all documents, certificates and
instruments evidencing the Distributions and any additional documentation requested by Lender to
perfect and protect Lenders security interest therein, and until such delivery Borrower shall hold
the same in trust for Lender. Borrower also grants Lender a security interest in all of the
Collateral as agent for all affiliates of Fifth Third Bancorp for all Obligations of Borrower to
such affiliates. Said security interest shall not be enforced to the extent prohibited by the Truth
in Lending Act as implemented by Federal Reserve Regulation Z.
3. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used
for business purposes.
4. REVISION AND RESTATEMENT. This Note is issued, not as a payment toward, but as a
continuation of, the obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to that certain note dated July 30,
2004 and the revised note dated September 2, 2005 in the principal amount of $2,000,000.00
(together with all prior amendments thereto or restatements thereof the Prior Note). Accordingly,

connection with the Prior Note.

(i) Nonpayment by the Borrower of any Rate Management Obligation when due or the
breach by the Borrower of any term, provision or condition contained in any Rate Management
Agreement.
(j) Any sale, conveyance or transfer of any rights in the Collateral securing the
Obligations, or any destruction, loss or damage of or to the Collateral in any material
respect.
11. REMEDIES. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to any other
remedy permitted by law, Lender may at any time, without notice, apply the Collateral to this Note
or such other Obligations, whether due or not, and Lender may, at its option, proceed to enforce
and protect its rights by an action at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceedings;
provided that this Note and the Obligations shall be accelerated automatically and immediately if
the Event of Default is a filing under the Bankruptcy Code.
Lenders rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately,
and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall
operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude
any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or
indulgence by Lender of any Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing and signed by
Lender, nor shall a waiver on one occasion be construed as a waiver of any other occurrence in the
future.
12. LATE PAYMENTS; DEFAULT RATE; FEES. If any payment is not paid when due (whether
by acceleration or otherwise) or within 10 days thereafter, undersigned agrees to pay to Lender a
late payment fee as provided for in any loan agreement or 5% of the payment amount, whichever is
greater with a minimum fee of $20.00. After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a
fixed charge of $25.00, or Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice, increase the Interest
Rate by three percentage points (3%) (the Default Rate), whichever is greater. Lender may impose
a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any
reason. In addition, Lender may charge loan documentation fees as may be reasonably determined by
the Lender.
13. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay all or part of this Note, which prepaid amounts
shall be applied to the amounts due in reverse order of their due dates. Partial prepayments shall
not excuse any subsequent payment due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Borrower repays
all of the outstanding principal of this Note prior to the maturity dates thereof with the proceeds
of a loan from another financial institution, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a prepayment penalty
equal to two percent (2%) of the original principal amount of this Note.
14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Borrower agrees that there are no conditions or understandings
which are not expressed in this Note and the documents referred to herein.
15. SEVERABILITY. The declaration of invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not
affect any part of the remainder of the provisions.
16. ASSIGNMENT. Borrower agrees not to assign any of Borrowers rights, remedies or
obligations described in this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower agrees
that Lender may assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Note without notice
to, or prior consent from, the Borrower.
17. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrowers
obligations or Lenders rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender.
Lender may perform Borrowers obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or
remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall
not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrowers obligations under this Note shall not be
affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any
of the obligations belonging to any co- borrower, endorser or guarantor or (ii) any of its rights
against any co- borrower, guarantor or endorser.
18. WAIVER OF BORROWER. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of dishonor, notice of
protest and notice of default are hereby waived by Borrower, and any endorser or guarantor hereof.
Each of Borrower, including but not limited to all co-makers and accommodation makers of this Note,
hereby waives all suretyship defenses including but not limited to all defenses based upon
impairment of Collateral and all suretyship defenses described in Section 3-605 of the Uniform
Commercial Code (the UCC). Such waiver is entered to the full extent permitted by Section 3-605
(i) of the UCC.
