REVOLVING NOTE

1.DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Revolving Note (the “Note”), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

1.1 Borrower: TECHNIPOWER LLC 14 Commerce Drive Danbury, CT 06810

1.2 Lender: CITIZENS BANK OF MASSACHUSETTS 28 State Street Boston, MA 02109

1.3 Loan Amount: Not to exceed $1,500,000.00

1.4 Interest Rate: See Section 3 below.

1.5 Maturity Date: June 1, 2007

1.6 Loan Agreement: A certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender.

1.7 Loan, Loan Documents and Event of Default   shall have the same meanings as in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Documents are incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

2.DEBT: For value received, Borrower hereby promises to pay to the order of Lender the Loan Amount, or so much as has been advanced by Lender from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement, together with interest on all unpaid balances from the date of such advances made under this Note at the interest rate set forth in this Note, together with all other amounts due hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The Loan is a revolving line of credit loan, such that Borrower may from time to time, borrow and re-borrow principal under the Note so long as the outstanding aggregate revolving loans do not exceed the Credit Limit then in effect as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

3.INTEREST: During the term of this Note the aggregate outstanding principal amount outstanding under the an shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate.

4.PAYMENTS: Borrower shall make payments of interest only on the amounts advanced by Lender under this Note monthly in arrears while any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby is unpaid on the first day of the month following the date of this Agreement (the “First Payment Date”) and thereafter on each monthly anniversary of the First Payment Date. Payments of principal shall be made from time to time as required pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Upon the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire then unpaid balance of principal and interest under this Note. Any payments on this Note, whether such payment is of a regular installment or represents a prepayment (if permitted hereunder), shall be made in currency of the United States of America, in immediately available funds, to Lender at Lender’s address set forth or at such other address as Lender may from time to time designate in writing.

5.DEFAULT INTEREST: After an Event of Default, at the election of the Lender, interest shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Prime Rate and three (3.0%) percent.

6.DELINQUENCY CHARGES: Overdue principal and interest payments shall be subject to a late charge of three percent (3.0%) (which such charge (i) shall only apply to the overdue portion of such principal and interest and (ii) shall only be payable if and only if the overdue portion of such principal and interest remains unpaid for 10 calendar days after the date on which it was originally due to be paid). Such amount shall be secured by the Security Agreement. Borrower agrees that any such delinquency charges shall not be deemed to be additional interest or penalty, but shall be deemed to be liquidated damages because of the difficulty in computing the actual amount of damages in advance.

7.COSTS AND EXPENSES UPON DEFAULT: After default, in addition to outstanding principal, accrued interest and delinquency charges, Lender shall be entitled to collect all of its costs of collection, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the protection or realization of collateral or in connection with any of Lender’s collection efforts, whether or not suit on this Note is filed, and all such costs and expenses shall be payable on demand and until paid shall also be secured by the Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS: Unless an Event of Default has occurred, all payments hereunder shall be applied first to delinquency charges, costs of collection and enforcement and other similar amounts due, if any, under this Note and under the other Loan Documents, then to interest which is due and payable under this Note and the remainder, if any, to principal due and payable under this Note. If an Event of Default has occurred, such payments may be applied to sums due under this Note or under the other Loan Documents in any order and combination that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine.

9.PERMITTED PREPAYMENT: The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part, at any time and to re-borrow such amounts as permitted by the terms of the Loan Agreement.

10.COSTS; ILLEGALITY OF LOAN: In addition to principal, interest and delinquency charges, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the protection, realization or enforcement of any of Lender’s rights against Borrower and against any collateral given Lender to secure this Note or any other liabilities of Borrower to Lender (whether or not suit or foreclosure is instituted by or against Lender).

2

Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender on demand (i) all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with, and any stamp or other taxes or charges (including filing fees) payable with respect to, this Note and the enforcement hereof; and (ii) any amount necessary to compensate it for (a) any losses or costs (including funding costs) sustained by it as a consequence of any default by Borrower hereunder;; and (b) any increased costs Lender may sustain in maintaining the borrowing evidenced hereby due to the introduction of, or any change in, law or applicable regulations (including the interpretation thereof) or due to the compliance by Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or governmental authority. In addition, if it shall become unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert it to be unlawful, for Lender (or any bank which is directly or indirectly funding Lender with respect to the Loan) to maintain the borrowing evidenced hereby, Borrower agrees to prepay this Note in full together with accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder on demand.

11.WAIVERS: BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR OF THIS NOTE SEVERALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WANE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL LAW WITH RESPECT TO ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY WHICH LENDER MAY DESIRE TO USE, and, further, severally and irrevocably waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this Note, diligence in collection, commencement of suit against any obligor, notice of protest, and protest of this Note and all other notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of the payment of this Note, before or after the maturity of this Note, with or without notice to Borrower, and agree that Borrower’s liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver or modification granted or consented to by Lender. Borrower consents to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications that may be granted by Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of this Note, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the collateral for this Note, or any part thereof, with or without substitution of said collateral. Any delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right under this Note shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, and any waiver granted or consented to on one occasion shall not operate as a waiver in the event of any subsequent default.

BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY SEVERALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDINGS HEREAFTER INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR IN RESPECT OF THIS NOTE OR ARISING OUT OF ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT EVIDENCING, GOVERNING OR SECURING THIS NOTE, INCLUDING ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS.

3

12.NO USURY: Lender and Borrower intend to comply at all times with applicable usury laws. If at any time such laws would ever render usurious any amounts called for under this Note or the other Loan Documents, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intention that Borrower shall not be required to pay interest on this Note at a rate in excess of the maximum lawful rate, that the provisions of this Section 12 shall control over all other provisions of this Note and the Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith, that such excess amount shall be credited to the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note has been fully paid, refunded by Lender to Borrower), and the provisions hereof shall be reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible under this Note reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any further documents, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery by Lender of the fullest amount otherwise called for under this Note. Any such crediting or refund shall not cure or waive any default by Borrower under this Note or the other Loan Documents. If at any time following any reduction in the interest rate payable by Borrower there remains unpaid any principal amount under this Note and the maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law is increased or eliminated, then the interest rate payable under this Note shall be readjusted, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, so that the dollar amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the dollar amount of interest which would have been paid by Borrower without giving effect to the reduction in interest resulting from compliance with applicable usury laws. Borrower agrees that in determining whether or not any interest payable under this Note or the other Loan Documents exceeds the highest rate allowed by law, any non-principal payment (except payments specifically stated in this Note or in the other Loan Documents to be “interest”), including, without limitation, prepayment fees and delinquency charges, shall, to the maximum extent allowed by law, be an expense, fee or premium rather than interest. The term “applicable law”, as used in this Note shall mean the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the state in which the Collateral is located (if other than The Commonwealth of Massachusetts) or the laws of the United States, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future.

13.ACCELERATION AND OTHER REMEDIES: If:

(a) Borrower fails to pay any sum within five (5) days of when due under this Note; or

(b) an “Event of Default”, as said term is defined in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document (including any applicable grace or cure periods), occurs;

then, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at its option, declare the entire unpaid balance of this Note together with interest accrued thereon, to be immediately due and payable and Lender may proceed to exercise any rights or remedies that it may have under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other rights and remedies which Lender may have at law, equity or otherwise.

14.JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY: The liabilities of Borrower and any guarantor of this Note are joint and several; provided, however, the release by Lender of Borrower or any one or more guarantor shall not release any other person obligated on account of this Note. Each reference in the within Note to Borrower and any guarantor is to such person individually and also to all such persons jointly. No person obligated on account of this Note may seek contribution from any other person also obligated unless and until all liabilities to Lender from the person from whom contribution is sought have been satisfied in full.

4

15.SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS: This Note shall be binding upon Borrower and upon its respective heirs, successors, assigns and representatives, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, endorsees, and assigns.

16.SECURITY: This Note is secured by the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Security Agreement, and all amendments, modifications, supplements, substitutions, additions, renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. Any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Lender to Borrower and any cash, securities, instruments, or other property of Borrower which now or hereafter are at any time in the possession or control of Lender, constitute additional security to Lender for the liabilities of Borrower to Lender including, without limitation, the liability evidenced hereby, and may be applied or set off by Lender against such liabilities at any time from and after an Event of Default hereunder whether or not other collateral is available to Lender.

17.COLLECTION: Any check, draft, money order or other instrument given in payment of all or any portion hereof may be accepted by Lender and handled by collection in the customary manner, but the same shall not constitute payment hereunder or diminish any rights of Lender except to the extent that actual cash proceeds of such instrument are unconditionally received by Lender and applied to this indebtedness in the manner elsewhere herein provided.

18.AMENDMENTS: This Note may be changed or amended only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

19.GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION: This Note is given to evidence debt for business or commercial purposes, is being delivered to Lender at one of its offices in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be governed by and construed under the laws of said Commonwealth. Borrower, each partner, or any partner of such partner, officer, director and employee of Borrower, hereby submit to personal jurisdiction in said Commonwealth for the enforcement of Borrower’s obligations hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, and waive any and all personal rights under the law of any other state to object to jurisdiction within such Commonwealth for the purposes of litigation to enforce such obligations of Borrower. In the event such litigation is commenced, Borrower agrees that service of process may be made, and personal jurisdiction over Borrower obtained, by service of a copy of the summons, complaint and other pleadings required to commence such litigation upon Borrower at the address set forth in the preamble to this Note.

20.CAPTIONS: All paragraph and subparagraph captions are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision herein.
