(h) INSURANCE. Customer shall insure all of the tangible Collateral under a policy or policies of physical damage insurance for the full replacement value thereof against such perils as MLBFS shall reasonably require and also providing that losses will be payable to MLBFS as its interests may appear pursuant to a lender's or mortgagee's long form loss payable endorsement and containing such other provisions as may be reasonably required by MLBFS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of occurrence of such Event of Loss or any time thereafter prior to replacement or line reduction, as aforesaid, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, then MLBFS may at its sole option, exercisable at any time while such Event of Default shall be continuing, require Customer to either replace such Collateral or prepay the Obligations, as aforesaid.

DEFINITIONS. (a) In addition to terms defined elsewhere in this Note, as used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (i) "Closing Date" shall mean the date of advancement of funds hereunder. (ii) "Excess Interest" shall mean any amount or rate of interest (including the Default Rate and, to the extent that they may be deemed to constitute interest, any prepayment fees, late charges and other fees and charges) payable, charged or received in connection with any of the Loan Documents which exceeds the maximum amount or rate of interest permitted under applicable law. (iii) "Interest Rate" shall mean a variable per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin, plus the One-Month LIBOR. "One-Month LIBOR" shall mean, as of the date of any determination, the interest rate then most recently published in the "Money Rates" section of The Wall Street Journal as the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (or if more than one such rate is published, the highest of such rates). The Interest Rate will change as of the date of publication in The Wall Street Journal of a One-Month LIBOR that is different from that published on the preceding Business Day. In the event that The Wall Street Journal shall, for any reason, fail or cease to publish the One-Month LIBOR, MLBFS will choose a reasonably comparable index or source to use as the basis for the Interest Rate.

Customer shall pay the indebtedness under this Note on December 31, 2007 provided that if the Escrow Conditions have been met prior to or on December 31, 2007 then Customer shall pay the indebtedness in 60 consecutive monthly installments commencing on the first day of the second calendar month following the Closing Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until this Note shall be paid in full. The first 59 such installments shall each be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) accrued interest, and (ii) 1/84th of the Loan Amount (with the first such installment including interest accrued from the date of funding), and the 60th installment shall be a balloon in an amount equal to the sum of all accrued interest hereunder, the then unpaid principal balance hereof and all other sums then payable hereunder. Each payment received hereunder shall be applied first to any fees and expenses of MLBFS payable by Customer under the terms of the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, late charges), next to accrued interest at the Interest Rate, with the balance applied on account of the unpaid principal hereof, or in such other manner as the holder hereof may hereinafter determine from time to time for the allocation of such payments thereof. Any part of the principal hereof or interest hereon or other sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Agreement not paid within ten (10) days of the applicable due date shall be subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the overdue amount, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law. All interest shall accrue daily on the outstanding balance and be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed over a 360-day year. All sums payable hereunder shall be payable at 2356 Collections Center Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60693, or at such other place or places as the holder hereof may from time to time appoint in writing. Customer may prepay this Note at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to installments of the Loan Amount in inverse order of maturity. This Note is the Collateral Installment Note referred to in, and is entitled to all of the benefits of the Loan Agreement and any Loan Documents. If Customer shall fail to pay when due any installment or other sum due hereunder, and any such failure shall continue for more than five (5) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the holder hereof to Customer, or if any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the option of the holder hereof (or, upon the occurrence of any Bankruptcy Event, automatically, without any action on the part of the holder hereof), and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to such holder under the Loan Agreement, any Loan Documents, and otherwise, the entire Loan Amount at such time remaining unpaid, together with accrued interest thereon and all other sums then owing by Customer under the Loan Agreement, may be declared to be and thereby become immediately due and payable. It is expressly understood, however, that nothing contained in the Loan Agreement, any other agreement, instrument or document executed by Customer, or otherwise, shall affect or impair the right, which is unconditional and absolute, of the holder hereof to enforce payment of all sums due under this Note at or after maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or shall affect the obligation of Customer, which is also unconditional and absolute, to pay the sums payable under this Note in accordance with its terms. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the Loan Agreement, Customer hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate and all other notices and formalities in connection with this Note. Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, no provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents shall require the payment or permit the collection of Excess Interest. If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated as being provided for, in this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, then: (a) Customer shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; and (b) any Excess Interest that MLBFS may have received under any of the Loan Documents shall, at the option of MLBFS, either be applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance of this Note, or accrued interest hereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), or refunded to the Customer. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, but without limiting the rights and remedies otherwise available to MLBFS hereunder or waiving such Default, the interest payable by Customer hereunder shall at the option of MLBFS accrue and be payable at the Default Rate. The Default Rate, once implemented, shall continue to apply to the Obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and be payable by Customer until the date MLBFS gives written notice (which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld) that such Default has been cured to the satisfaction of MLBFS. This Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois and may be enforced by the holder hereof in any jurisdiction in which the Loan Agreement may be enforced. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Note has been executed by Customer as of the day and year first above written. ORBIT INTERNATIONAL CORP. By: Signature (1) Signature (2) Printed Name Printed Name Title Title
