                               EXTENSION AGREEMENT

            THIS  EXTENSION  AGREEMENT  is made and entered  into as of June 24,
2005, by and among LYNCH SYSTEMS, INC. ("Borrower"), a South Dakota corporation;
LYNCH  CORPORATION,  an Indiana  corporation  ("Guarantor");  and SUNTRUST  BANK
("Lender"), a Georgia banking corporation.

                                    RECITALS:

            Lender and  Borrower  entered  into a certain  Amended and  Restated
Credit  Agreement  dated  June 10,  2002 (as at any time  amended,  the  "Credit
Agreement"),  pursuant  to which  Lender made  available a revolving  credit and
letter of credit  facility to  Borrower,  which  revolving  credit and letter of
credit  facility  is  secured  by  security  interests  in and liens upon all or
substantially  all of the assets of Borrower and are guaranteed  unconditionally
by Guarantor.

            Lender made a term loan (the "Term  Loan") to Borrower as  evidenced
by a certain  Term Loan  Promissory  Note,  dated August 4, 2003 in the original
principal amount of $498,000 (as at any time amended, the "Term Note"),  payment
of which is secured by, among other  things,  a lien upon and security  title to
certain real  property of Borrower  pursuant to the terms of a certain  Security
Deed and Agreement made as of March 30, 2001, between Borrower and Lender (as at
any time amended, the "Security Deed"; together with the Term Note and all other
agreements  and  instruments  executed in connection  therewith,  the "Term Loan
Documents").

            Events of Default  under (and as  defined  in) the Credit  Agreement
exist  and are  continuing,  in  consequence  of which  Lender  is  entitled  to
terminate  further advances to Borrower,  to declare the entire balance owing to
it from  Borrower to be  immediately  due and payable,  to enforce its liens and
security interests in the collateral  securing its claims against Borrower,  and
to enforce its claims against Guarantor.

            All of the liabilities and  obligations  under the Credit  Agreement
and the Term Note became due and payable on May 31, 2005.

            Borrower and  Guarantor  desire that Lender  extend the due date for
repayment of the Obligations to the Termination  Date (as hereinafter  defined);
continue to make credit available to Borrower prior to the Termination Date; and
allow  Borrower to use Cash  Collateral  (as  hereinafter  defined) prior to the
Termination Date.

            Lender  is  willing  to  extend  the due date for  repayment  of the
Obligations,  to continue  making  credit  available to  Borrower,  and to allow
Borrower  to use  Cash  Collateral  under  the  terms  and  conditions  of  this
Agreement.

            NOW,  THEREFORE,  for  TEN  DOLLARS  ($10.00)  in hand  paid  and in
consideration  of the premises and the mutual covenants  herein  contained,  the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

Obligations totaled $406,005.53, in each case exclusive of interest, fees, other

counterclaim  on the date  hereof,  the same is hereby  waived);  (c)  Events of
Default  have  occurred  and  now  exist  under  the  Credit  Documents  and are
continuing by reason of Borrower's  failure to cause the  Obligations to be Paid
in Full on May 31, 2005, and Borrower's  breach of its obligations under Section

executed by Borrower are legal,  valid and binding  obligations  of Borrower and
are  enforceable  against  Borrower  in  accordance  with their  terms;  (e) the

the Guaranty is a legal,  valid and binding  obligation  of the Guarantor and is
enforceable  against  Guarantor in  accordance  with its terms;  (g) each of the

(h) prior to executing this Agreement,  each Obligor  consulted with and had the
benefit of advice of legal counsel of its own selection and each has relied upon
the advice of such  counsel,  and in no part upon any  representation  of Lender
concerning the legal effects of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

            3. AGREEMENT TO EXTEND.  If and for so long as each of the Extension
Conditions is satisfied,  Lender agrees that during the Extension Period it will
not, solely by reason of the existence on this date of the Stipulated  Defaults,
(i) exercise any default remedy  available to Lender under any of the other Loan
Documents or Applicable  Law to enforce  collection  from Obligors of any of the
Obligations  or to  foreclose  its  security  interest in any of the  Collateral
during  the  Extension  Period;  or (ii)  enforce  Section  10.14 of the  Credit
Agreement,  which requires the deposit to the Cash Collateral  Account of monies
equal to 102% of the undrawn  amount of outstanding  Letters of Credit,  but the
foregoing  shall  not in any  event be  deemed  to  constitute  a waiver  of any
Lender's  right to require  the  deposit of such  monies to the Cash  Collateral
Account on or after the Termination Date or in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6 of this  Agreement.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall be construed to
alter the demand  nature of that  portion of the  Obligations  payable on demand
under the terms of any of the Loan Documents.

            4. EXTENSION  CONDITIONS.  The following conditions shall constitute

Take-Out  Financing  on or  before  the last  day of the  Extension  Period  and
periodically  apprises  Lender of the status of its  attempts  to  procure  such
Take-Out Financing.

            5.  TERMINATION  OF  EXTENSION.  If any one or more of the Extension
Conditions is not satisfied,  then (i) Lender's agreement to extend the maturity
of the Obligations shall at Lender's election,  but without further notice to or
demand  upon  Obligors,   terminate,  (ii)  all  of  the  Obligations  shall  be
immediately  due and  payable  without  any  further  notice to or  demand  upon

            6. FINANCING DURING EXTENSION PERIOD; USE OF CASH COLLATERAL.

               (a)  During  the  period  from  the  date   hereof   through  the

to the Credit  Agreement or otherwise,  but may obtain renewals or extensions of
existing Letters of Credit and may obtain the issuance of new Letters of Credit,

shall have no obligation to extend credit to Borrower at any time.

               (b)  During  the  period  from  the  date   hereof   through  the
Termination  Date,  but only for so long as each of the Extension  Conditions is
and remains satisfied, Borrower shall be permitted to utilize Cash Collateral in
the ordinary course of business to pay costs and expenses of its operations, but

of Loans;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  that  Borrower  shall cease  spending,  using or
otherwise  disposing  of any  Cash  Collateral  and  shall  turn  over  all Cash
Collateral  then or  thereafter  in its  possession  to Lender on the earlier to
occur of (i) the Termination Date or (ii) the date on which any of the Extension

Collateral for any other purpose.

            7. APPLICABLE RATE OF INTEREST.

               (a) From and  after  the date of this  Agreement,  and  except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7, interest shall accrue (i) on the principal
amount of the Revolver  Obligations  outstanding from time to time at a variable

term sheet,  proposal letter or other writing  definitively  evidencing the fact
that Borrower is engaged in active  discussions  with a bank or other  financial

the Term Loan Obligations shall be increased by 100 basis points, effective July
1, 2005.

               (c) If by July 31, 2005,  Borrower has not delivered to Lender an

money unless at the time of such incurrence,  and from the proceeds thereof, all

the Obligors,  Borrower  shall pay to Lender the amount of such  Overadvance  in
immediately available funds.
