  (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 Borrower’s account through BillPayer 2000®. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate such payments from Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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.

Accordingly, this Note shall not be construed as a novation or extinguishment of, the obligations arising under the Prior Note, and its issuance shall not affect the priority of any security interest granted in connection with the Prior Note.
     5. NOTE PROCESSING FEE. Lender may charge, and Borrower agrees to pay on the above Effective Date, a note processing fee in the amount of $500.00.

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.
Lender’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s obligations or Lender’s rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender. Lender may perform Borrower’s 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. Borrower’s 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.
