Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) with Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to
which Borrower agreed (i) to assume the obligations of Acuity under the Master Agreement and the
Subordinated Note and Security Agreement executed and delivered by Acuity in connection therewith
(the Original Note) and (ii) to enter into a credit agreement on substantially the terms set

Available Amount) on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth
herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

LINE OF CREDIT
Section 1.1. Assumption. Acuity hereby assigns, and Borrower hereby assumes from
Acuity, all rights and liabilities outstanding under the Master Agreement and Original Note,
whether for principal, accrued interest, expenses and otherwise, and Borrower agrees to discharge
all such liabilities in full; provided that Borrower does not assume any liabilities of Acuity or
Froptix pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Master Agreement, and this Agreement shall in no way affect
or diminish such obligations or the rights of Borrower with respect to such obligations. By
executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, Acuity agrees to this assignment and
assumption, and represents and warrants to Borrower and the Frost Group that
there is no default under the Master Agreement or Event of Default (as defined in the Original
Note) under the Original Note as of the date hereof.
Section 1.2. The Line of Credit. From time to time prior to the Maturity Date (as
defined in the Note (as hereafter defined)), subject to the provisions below, the Frost Group shall
make Advances (as hereafter defined) to Borrower, which Borrower shall pay and may reborrow, so
long as the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Available
Amount.
Section 1.3. Warrants. In consideration of the extension of credit hereunder,
Borrower will grant to the Frost Group one or more Warrants (the Warrants), which warrants will
be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with an exercise price
equal to the Parent Per Share Stock Valuation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will provide
such parties the right to buy 333,400 shares of the Borrowers common stock for each million
dollars committed by such party (including amounts loaned to Acuity prior to the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and assumed hereunder).
Section 1.4. Note. The indebtedness of Borrower to the Frost Group will be evidenced
by an amended and restated subordinated note and security agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit B (the Note). The original principal amount of the Note will be $12,000,000;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the face amount of the Note, Borrowers liability under the
Note shall be limited at all times to its actual indebtedness, principal, interest, fees, charges,
expenses and reasonable attorneys fees and costs and other amounts, obligations, covenants and
duties owing by Borrower to the Frost Group (or any permitted assignee) of any kind and description
(whether pursuant to or evidenced by the Note or this Agreement), whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, including Lenders
Expenses (collectively, the Obligations), in each case as then outstanding hereunder and under
the Note. As used herein, Lenders Expenses means all reasonable attorneys fees, costs and
expenses incurred in amending, enforcing or defending the Note (including fees and expenses of
appeal or review), including the exercise of any rights or remedies afforded under the Note or
under applicable law, whether or not suit is brought, whether before or after bankruptcy or
insolvency, including without limitation all fees and costs incurred by the Frost Group in
connection with the Frost Groups enforcement of its rights in a bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding filed by or against Borrower or its property.
Section 1.5. Use of Proceeds. Funds advanced under the Line of Credit shall be used
for working capital or general corporate purposes of Borrower.
Section 1.6. Payment of Outstanding Amount. The aggregate Obligations outstanding on
the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in
accordance with the terms of the Note.
Section 1.7. Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Line of
Credit shall accrue at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded quarterly (the
Interest Rate), and shall be payable on the last day of each calendar month until the repayment
in full of all Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and cancellation of the Note.
- 2 -
Section 1.8. Default Rate. Upon the Maturity Date, whether by acceleration, demand or
otherwise, and at the Frost Groups option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined
in the Note) and during the continuance thereof, the Note shall bear interest at a rate that shall
be five percent (5.0%) in excess of the Interest Rate but not more than the maximum rate allowed by
law (the Default Rate). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall
be entered on the Note. The Default Rate is imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of
defraying the Frost Groups expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the Frost Groups exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder or
under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Frost Group
may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Frost Group of
carrying a loan that is in default. Borrower agrees that the Default Rate is a reasonable forecast
of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Frost Group, and that the
actual harm incurred by the Frost Group cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.
Section 1.9. Subordination Agreement. On the date of this Agreement, Borrower, the
Frost Group and Horizon Technology Funding Company LLC, have entered into a Amended and Restated
Subordination Agreement, attached here to as Exhibit C.

credit pursuant to the Line of Credit hereunder (an Advance). Any such notice shall be in the
form of the Borrowing Notice set forth as Exhibit D (the Borrowing Notice), shall be
certified by the president of Borrower, and shall set forth the aggregate amount of the requested
Advance. Upon receiving a request for an Advance to which Borrower is entitled hereunder and
under the Note, and provided there is no Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Frost Group
shall make available to Borrower the amount of the requested Advance by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Borrower on the third business day
after receipt of such Borrowing Notice.
Section 1.11. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay the outstanding Obligations under the
Line of Credit at any time without premium or penalty. Prepayments of all or any portion of the
Obligations shall not reduce the Available Amount, and funds may be reborrowed hereunder up to the
Available Amount, subject to the provision hereof and the Note.
Section 1.12. Payment Application. Any and all payments on account of the Obligations
will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and second to outstanding principal and other
sums due hereunder. If Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any
part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy act,
state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment
or payments, the Obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

Section 3.20. Employee Benefit Plans.
3.20.1. Schedule 6.20 of the Schedule of Exceptions sets forth a correct and
complete list of all Borrower Employee Benefit Plans. Each Borrower Employee Benefit Plan,
and its related documents, has been made available to Froptix and Acuity. No Borrower
Employee Benefit Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA, or Section 412 of the Code, is or has
been subject to Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA, or is a multi-employer welfare arrangement
as defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA. Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any
obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, under Title IV of ERISA with respect to
any pension plan as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA. Neither Borrower nor any of it

multi employer plan, as defined in Sections 3(37)(A) and 4001(a)(3) of ERISA and Section
414(f) of the Code or any multiple employer plan within the meaning of Section 210(a) of
ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code. No Borrower Employee Benefit Plan provides for, nor
does Borrower or any of its subsidiaries have any liability for post-employment life
insurance or health benefit coverage for any participant or any beneficiary of a
participant, except as may be required
- 10 -
under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, and at
the expense of the participant or the participants beneficiary.
3.20.2. The Borrower Employee Benefit Plans have been maintained in all material
respects in accordance with their terms and with all provisions of ERISA, the Code
(including rules and regulations thereunder) and other applicable federal and state Laws and
regulations. The exercise price of each option to purchase or acquire from Borrower any of
Borrowers authorized and unissued capital stock was intended to constitute a price which is
equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of
grant, as then determined in good faith by the Borrower board of directors.
3.20.3. There are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits that have been asserted or
instituted against any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan, the assets of any of the trusts under
any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan or the sponsor of any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan, or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, against any fiduciary or administrator of any Borrower
Employee Benefit Plan with respect to the operation of any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan
(other than routine benefit claims), nor does Borrower have any knowledge of facts that
could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such claim or lawsuit.
3.20.4. Neither will the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein (i) result in any payment becoming due to any
current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Borrower Employee
Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any
rights with respect to any such benefits under any Borrower Employee Benefit Plan or (iv)
require any contributions or payments to fund, or any security to secure, any obligations

combination of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other event, that
would not be deductible pursuant to the terms of Section 280G of the Code.
3.20.5. With respect to each Borrower Employee Benefit Plan intended to qualify under
Code Section 401(a) or 403(a), (i) the Internal Revenue Service has issued a favorable
determination letter, which has not been revoked, that any such plan is tax-qualified and
each trust created thereunder has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be
exempt from federal income tax under Code Section 501(a); (ii) nothing has occurred which
would cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any penalty or
tax liability; (iii) no reportable event (within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA) has
occurred; (iv) there has been no termination or partial termination of such plan within the
meaning of Code Section 411(d)(3); and (v) the present value of all liabilities under any
such plan will not exceed the current fair market value of the assets of such plan
(determined using the actuarial assumption used for the most recent actuarial valuation for
such plan).

officer, director or member of his or her immediate family or stockholder of Borrower or member of

more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any of the
foregoing persons. To Borrowers knowledge, none of such persons has any direct or indirect
ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which Borrower is affiliated or with which
Borrower has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with Borrower,
except in connection with the ownership of stock of publicly-traded companies (but not exceeding 2%
of the outstanding capital stock of any such company). No employee, officer, director or member of
his or her immediate family or, to Borrowers knowledge, stockholder of Borrower or member of his
or her immediate family or any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with any of the foregoing
persons, is, directly or indirectly, interested in any material contract with Borrower (other than

of any other Person.
Section 3.22. Insurance. Borrower has in full force and effect general commercial,
fire and casualty insurance policies and insurance against other hazards, risks and liabilities to
persons and property to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar businesses
similarly situated and sufficient in amount to allow it to replace any of its material properties
or assets that might be damaged or destroyed or sufficient to cover liabilities to which Borrower
may reasonably become subject.
Section 3.23. Environmental and Safety Laws. Borrower is in compliance with all
applicable environmental Laws, rules and regulations except for noncompliance that, individually or
in the aggregate, would not or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
on Borrower. There is no environmental litigation or other environmental proceeding pending or, to
Borrowers knowledge, threatened, by any governmental regulatory authority or others with respect
to the business of Borrower. No state of facts exists as to environmental matters or Hazardous
Substances that involves the reasonable likelihood of a material capital expenditure by Borrower or
that may otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. To Borrowers knowledge, no
Hazardous Substances have been used, treated, stored or disposed of, or otherwise deposited, in or
on the properties owned or leased by Borrower in violation of any applicable environmental Laws.
Section 3.24. No Assets; No Liabilities. Except as specifically disclosed in the SEC
Reports, Borrower has the right to own (including without limitation, tangible and intangible,
personal and real property) and is not involved in the operation of any business or property.
Other than as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports and those liabilities related to this
Agreement set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions, Borrower has no direct or indirect material
liability, Indebtedness or obligation (including without limitation, known or unknown, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated or due or to become due) except relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby.
- 12 -
Section 3.25. Disclosure. All disclosures provided by Borrower are true and correct
in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. To Borrowers knowledge, no event or
circumstance has occurred or information exists with respect to Borrower or its business,
properties, operations or financial conditions, which, under applicable Law, rule or regulation,
requires public disclosure or announcement by Borrower but which has not been so publicly announced
or disclosed.
Section 3.26. Trading Matters. The Borrower Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB.
There is no action or proceeding pending or, to Borrowers knowledge, threatened against Borrower

provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are nevertheless held to be
prohibited, invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision will be effective to the
fullest extent possible excluding the terms affected by such prohibition, invalidity or
unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Agreement. If the prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability referred to in the prior
sentence requires such provision to be excluded from this Agreement in its entirety, the balance of

Section 5.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and
governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of Florida.
Section 5.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO ALSO WAIVES ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND THAT MIGHT, BUT FOR
THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF THE OTHER PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE
ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS,
BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED OR HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO REVIEW THIS WAIVER WITH ITS RESPECTIVE LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY
WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH SUCH LEGAL
- 16 -
COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A
TRIAL BY THE COURT.
Section 5.11. Further Assurances; Access. The Frost Group and Borrower will from time
to time and at all times hereafter make, do, execute, or cause or procure to be made, done and

Agreement. Upon reasonable written notice, Borrower shall afford the officers, employees and
authorized agents and representatives of the Frost Group reasonable access, during normal business
hours, to the offices, properties, books, records and such additional financial and operating data

Group may from time to time reasonably request.
Section 5.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all exhibits hereto and thereto
constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof and no party will be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties,
representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
Section 5.13. Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right power
or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, or upon any breach or default of any other
party under this Agreement, will impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or
non-defaulting party nor will it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an
acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor will any
waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in
writing and will be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. Except as
otherwise set forth herein, all remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise
afforded to any party, will be cumulative and not alternative.
Section 5.14. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person or entity.
Section 5.15. Equitable Relief. The parties hereto recognize that, if such party
fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may
prove to be inadequate relief to the other parties. Each party hereto therefore agrees that the
other parties are entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief and any other
equitable remedy a court of competent jurisdiction may deem appropriate in any such case.
Section 5.16. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is deemed
to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict
construction will be applied against any party.
Section 5.17. Public Announcements. No public announcements shall be made by any
party hereto relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the Borrower and the Frost Group, such consent not to be unreasonably
- 17 -
withheld, except where required by applicable law; provided, however, that in the event of
such a legally required disclosure, the disclosing party will consult with the other consenting
party with respect to the text of such disclosure and will provide the other consenting party with
a copy of the disclosure prior to its publication.
Section 5.18. Expenses. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that Lenders Expenses
shall be Obligations subject to the provisions hereof.
Section 5.19. Exhibits and Schedule of Exceptions. All exhibits, annexes and
schedules, including the Schedule of Exceptions, annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby
incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. A disclosure in
any particular Schedule of the Schedule of Exceptions or otherwise in this Agreement will be deemed
adequate to disclose another exception to a representation or warranty made herein if the
disclosure identifies the exception with reasonable particularity so that any exception to any
other Schedule is reasonably apparent.
