Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Period Ended June 30, 2015

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") include the accounts of Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. ® (“ART”) and its subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc. ® ("Micron" and together with ART, the “Company”). ART discontinued operations of its wholly-owned Pennsylvania subsidiary, RMDDxUSA Corp. (“RMDDxUSA”) and that subsidiary’s Prince Edward Island subsidiary, RMDDx Corporation (“RMDDx” and collectively with RMDDxUSA,“WirelessDx”) in the third quarter of 2012. In May 2014, RMDDxUSA filed for bankruptcy and the Chapter 7 discharge order was issued on March 20, 2015 and the case was closed (see Note 10). The WirelessDx results are presented herein as discontinued operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 20, 2015. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The information presented reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  
2.    Earnings per Share ("EPS")
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the average number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.  In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in net income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares.
The following table presents the calculation of both basic and diluted EPS:

Bank Debt
The revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), commercial term loan, two equipment term loans and an equipment line of credit are all under the terms of a multi-year credit facility with a bank as detailed below. The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company is in compliance with at June 30, 2015 .
Revolver
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory.  The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% ( 3.50% at June 30, 2015 ). The original maturity date of the revolver was June 30, 2015, therefore, as of December 31, 2014 the balance of the revolver was classified as a current liability. In June 2015, the revolver was extended for an additional two-year period maturing June 30, 2017 and is therefore classified as a long-term liability on the Company's balance sheet at June 30, 2015 .
Commercial term loan

9



    The commercial term loan has a five year term with a maturity date in March 2018. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.25% per annum, and requires monthly payments of approximately $28,000 .
Equipment line of credit and equipment term loans
The original equipment line of credit allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended March 29, 2014 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $740,999 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of March 29, 2019. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $14,000 , consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.65% .
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended June 26, 2015 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $415,785 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of June 26, 2020. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $8,000 , consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.67% .
On June 19, 2015, the Company entered into a new equipment line of credit for $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. At June 30, 2015 , no amounts had been drawn on the new equipment line of credit. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing on June 19, 2021, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan.
Other Debt
Equipment notes
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018.
Subordinated promissory notes
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The notes are unsecured and require quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum. On the second anniversary following issuance, the interest rate increases to 12% per annum. The notes mature in December 2016 at which point the outstanding balance is due in full. The subordinated promissory notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time following the first anniversary thereof without penalty. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the bank credit facility.
In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $3.51 per share. The warrants expire in December 2016. The proceeds were allocated between the notes and warrants on a relative fair value basis resulting in $416,950 allocated to the notes and $83,050 allocated to the warrants as part of Additional-Paid-in-Capital. The total discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded $6,921 and $13,842 , respectively, of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $40,706 at June 30, 2015 and $54,548 at December 31, 2014 .
7. Income Taxes
The tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are attributable to the U.S. federal and state income taxes on our continuing operations. The Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 . Management expects to reevaluate the allowance on its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015.
The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $7,752,000 and $7,202,000 , respectively, which begin to expire in 2030. The Company also had federal and state tax credit carryovers of $243,000 and $281,000 respectively. The federal and state tax credits begin to expire in 2026 and 2015, respectively. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company's subsidiary, RMDDxUSA, was formally discharged in its bankruptcy proceedings.  The tax attributes associated with this subsidiary expired upon the finalization of the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company's available foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards have been reduced by $1,039,000 and $4,315,000 , respectively.

Net Sales
The Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $5,659,094 , a decrease of $594,663 , or 9.5% , when compared to the consolidated net sales of $6,253,757 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 .
The decrease in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was due primarily to a decrease in sensors net sales. This decrease was the result of a 28.3% decrease in order volume as compared to the same period in 2014 which represented the highest quarterly sensor volume for the previous five year period. The lower volume was due in part to reduced demand from a large customer who notified the Company in the first quarter to expect lower demand in 2015 versus 2014. Additionally, silver surcharge billed decreased 45.1% due to the decrease in volume as well as a 15.8% decrease in the weighted average price of silver for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014.
The decreases in net sales were partially offset by a 52.3% increase in net sales of custom thermoplastic injection molding for the three months ended June 30, 2015, due to increased order volume for military and law enforcement as well as automotive components. Net sales of orthopedic implant components increased 1.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.
The Company's consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $11,517,436 , a decrease of $766,164 , or 6.2% , when compared to the consolidated net sales of $12,283,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 .
The decrease in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was due primarily to a decrease in sensors net sales. The decrease in sensors net sales was due to a 7.1% decrease in volume due in part to reduced demand from a large customer who notified the Company in the first quarter to expect lower demand in 2015 versus 2014. Silver surcharge billed decreased 30.5% due to the decrease in volume as well as a 16.8% decrease in the average price of silver for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Net sales of orthopedic implant components decreased 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 due primarily to production delays encountered in the first quarter of 2015. The production delays were addressed and led to measurable progress in the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, 2014 benefited from $250,000 of Predictor license sales. There were no Predictor sales in 2015.
The decreases in net sales were partially offset by a 39.1% increase in net sales of custom thermoplastic injection molding for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due to largely to increased order volume of automotive as well as military and law enforcement components.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,032,154 , a decrease of $101,869 , or 9.0% , when compared to gross profit of $1,134,023 for the same period in 2014 . Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 18.2% or 0.1 points from 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . Although sensor sales decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , the sensor gross margin increased 5.4 points when compared to the same period in 2014. This was offset by a 6.6 point decrease in gross margin related to orthopedic implant components due primarily to product mix. Additionally, increased expenditures of $137,472 in our manufacturing quality function to support the Company's growth strategy in the three months ended June 30, 2015 , reduced gross profit when compared to the prior period.

13




Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1,828,550 , a decrease of $616,759 , or 25.2% , when compared to gross profit of $2,445,309 for the same period in 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 4.0 points from 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to an 8.6 point decrease in gross margin related to orthopedic implant components as a result of both product mix as well as production delays encountered in the first quarter of 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , gross profit included $250,000 from net sales of Predictor licenses. Additionally, increased expenditures of $253,840 in the Company's manufacturing quality function to support its growth strategy in the six months ended June 30, 2015 , resulted in a decrease to gross profit when compared to the prior period.
Selling and Marketing
The Company's consolidated selling and marketing expenses amounted to $ 262,609 ( 4.6 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $ 240,408 ( 3.8 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , an increase of $ 22,201 , or 9.2% .  For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , marketing and travel expenses increased $14,769 due in part to travel to trade shows related to the Company's orthopedic implant components. The increase was also due in part to the impact of a second quarter 2014 refund of a consulting fee incurred in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in commissions of $11,627 due to lower net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The Company's consolidated selling and marketing expenses amounted to $520,581 ( 4.5% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $532,080 ( 4.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $11,499 , or 2.2% .  For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , travel expenses decreased $15,293 due in part to decreased international travel and travel to trade shows. Additionally, commissions decreased $15,840 due to lower net sales as compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of a second quarter 2014 refund of a consulting fee incurred in 2013.
General and Administrative
The Company's consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased to $ 525,577 ( 9.3 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $ 543,235 ( 8.7 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $ 17,658 , or 3.3% .  The decrease in consolidated general and administrative expenses for three months ended June 30, 2015 was due in part to an $18,176 decrease in wages, taxes, and benefits due in part to the departure of the Vice President of Human Resources in November 2014, partially offset by increases to executive compensation. Additionally, the Company recorded $35,000 less in bonus accruals. These decreases were partially offset by increases of $7,138 in legal fees due in part to the amendment to the certificate of incorporation and $6,501 of general property and liability insurance due to policy renewals. Additionally, directors' fees increased $5,417 as a result of adding a new member to the Company's Board of Directors in April 2015. There were multiple smaller variances in accounting fees, investor relations and consulting fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in the prior year.    
The Company's consolidated general and administrative expenses increased to $1,173,804 ( 10.2% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $1,137,866 ( 9.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , an increase of $35,938 , or 3.2% .   The increase in consolidated general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was due in part to $22,761 related to the engagement of an investor relations firm in June 2014. Additionally, accounting fees and other related costs increased $19,745, due in part to increased software expenses as well as costs related to insuring the Company's trade accounts receivable. Consulting fees also increased $10,418 due largely to professional services related to strategic planning. Insurance expense increased $12,398 due to general property and liability insurance policy renewals. Additionally, the Company incurred an aggregate increase of approximately $15,000 in wages, taxes, and benefits, legal expenses and directors' compensation. These increases were partially offset by $35,000 less in bonus accruals as well as a reduction in bank fees of $10,283 over the same period in the prior year.
Research and Development
The Company's consolidated research and development expenses decreased to $ 62,224 ( 1.1 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $ 85,694 ( 1.4 % of net sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $ 23,470 , or 27.4% . The decrease is due to a decrease of $25,604 for internal research and development costs for the development of new products and capabilities related to medical device components.
The Company's consolidated research and development expenses decreased to $154,785 ( 1.3% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $182,521 ( 1.5% of net sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $27,736 , or 15.2% . The net decrease is due to a reduction in wages, taxes and benefits of $38,950 due primarily to turnover of two employees partially offset by an increase of $10,263 for internal research and development costs for the development of new products and capabilities related to medical device components.
The Company has also dedicated resources to customer funded research and development of new products in the military and law enforcement industry.
Other Income (Expense)

14




Other expense, net increased to $66,518 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 , as compared to $23,842 , for three months ended June 30, 2014 , an increase of $42,676 . The increase in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was partially due to a decrease of $20,800 from the gain on the sale of fixed assets.
Other expense, net increased to $118,702 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $91,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , an increase of $27,022 . The increase in other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was partially due to a decrease of $8,094 from the gain on the sale of fixed assets and partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $6,094.
For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded other income of $23,423 as a result of a refund of the remaining portion of the performance guarantee obligation of ART on behalf of RMDDx.
Income Tax Provision
The tax provisions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are attributable to the U.S. federal and state income taxes on our continuing operations. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate from continuing operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0% due to the expected utilization of deferred tax assets previously reserved for with a valuation allowance.
Income from Discontinued Operations
On May 8, 2014, RMDDxUSA filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 (Liquidation) of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the District of Massachusetts and a trustee was assigned to review the assets and liabilities of the company. On March 20, 2015, the Chapter 7 discharge order was issued by the assigned trustee and the case was closed.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015 , net income of $0 and $362,610 , respectively, net of tax, was recorded from discontinued operations as a result of the write-off of the remaining liabilities of $320,056 and the reversal of accumulated other comprehensive income of $42,502 from cumulative translation adjustments from RMDDx Corporation.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.04 per share as compared to $0.09 per share for the same period in 2014 , a decrease of $0.05 per share. The decrease in earnings per share is due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors in the three months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in 2014, partially offset by increased net sales in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.08 per share as compared to $0.18 per share for the same period in 2014 , a decrease of $0.10 per share. The decrease in earnings per share is due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors and orthopedic implant components partially offset by the impact of other income from discontinued operations as a result of the final discharge order related to the bankruptcy of RMDDxUSA as well as the lack of net sales of Predictor licenses in the six months ended June 30, 2015 versus the same period in 2014.
Basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.04 per share compared to $0.09 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $0.05 per share, due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors, partially offset by increased net sales in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.05 per share compared to earnings of $0.18 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , a decrease of $0.23 per share, due largely to the decrease in net sales of sensors and orthopedic implant components as well as the lack of net sales of Predictor licenses.
Basic and diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0.00 per share and $0.13 per share, respectively as compared to $0.00 per share for the same periods in 2014 , due to the final discharge order related to the bankruptcy of RMDDxUSA issued in 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 2014, the Company entered into two operating leases for office equipment. Lease expense under all operating leases was approximately $1,822 and $3,644 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0 for the same periods in 2014 .
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $3,953,865 as of June 30, 2015 , as compared to $1,308,472 at December 31, 2014 , an increase of $2,645,393 .  The increase is due primarily to the reclassification of the revolver from current liabilities to long-term liabilities, increases in accounts receivable and cash, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents were $284,774 and $209,398 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, an increase of $75,376 .  Substantially all of these funds are maintained in bank deposit accounts.

Trade accounts receivable were $4,357,896 and $3,536,747 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, an increase of $821,149 due in part to the timing of, and the increase in, net sales in the month of June 2015 as compared to December 2014, as well as the timing of cash receipts.
Inventories were $2,490,723 at June 30, 2015 , as compared to $2,514,241 at December 31, 2014 , a decrease of $23,518 .  Raw materials decreased $41,511 due to high usage levels during the second quarter of 2015 in custom thermoplastic injection molding. As an offset, work in progress increased $13,062 and finished goods increased $4,931 , due to larger shipments in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Accounts payable increased $325,282 due in part to purchases of raw material inventory driven by increased demand in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $283,897 as compared to December 31, 2014 as discussed below in Operating Cash Flows.
Capital equipment expenditures were $784,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , due to investments in machinery and equipment primarily for the contract manufacturing of orthopedic implant components as well as molding equipment.
I n March 2013, the Company entered into a multi-year credit facility with a Massachusetts bank. Under this credit facility the Company has a revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), a commercial term loan, two equipment term loans and an equipment line of credit. The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company is in compliance with as of June 30, 2015 .
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory.  The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% ( 3.50% at June 30, 2015 ). The balance outstanding on the revolver was $2,391,495 as of June 30, 2015 . In June 2015, the revolver was extended for an additional two-year period maturing June 30, 2017.
    The commercial term loan has a five year term with a maturity date in March 2018. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.25% per annum, and requires monthly payments of approximately $28,000. At June 30, 2015 , the balance of the commercial term loan was $863,612 .
The original equipment line of credit allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended March 29, 2014 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $740,999 was converted to a five-year term loan with monthly payments of approximately $14,000 consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.65% . The balance of the equipment term loan was $571,789 as of June 30, 2015 .
On June 26, 2014, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allowed for advances of up to $1.0 million and included a one-year draw period during which payments were interest only. The draw period ended June 26, 2015 and the then outstanding balance on the equipment line of credit of $415,785 was converted to an equipment term loan with a five-year term, maturing on of June 26, 2020. The equipment term loan requires monthly payments of approximately $8,000, consisting of principal and interest at a fixed rate of 4.67% beginning in July 2015.
On June 19, 2015, the Company entered into a new equipment line of credit for $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. At June 30, 2015 , no amounts had been drawn on the new equipment line of credit. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing on June 19, 2021, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan.
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018. The outstanding balance of these equipment notes at June 30, 2015 was $143,615 .
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The notes are unsecured and require quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum. On the second anniversary following issuance, the interest rate increases to 12% per annum. The notes mature in December 2016 at which point the outstanding balance is due in full. The subordinated promissory notes may be prepaid by the Company at any time following the first anniversary thereof without penalty. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the bank credit facility.
In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $3.51 per share. The warrants expire in December 2016. The proceeds were allocated between the notes and warrants

16




on a relative fair value basis resulting in $416,950 allocated to the notes and $83,050 allocated to the warrants as part of Additional-Paid-in-Capital. The total discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded $13,842 of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $40,706 at June 30, 2015 and $54,548 at December 31, 2014 .
The borrowing agreement, under the bank facility as described above, contains both financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include maintaining certain debt coverage and leverage ratios. The non-financial covenants relate to various matters including notice prior to executing further borrowings and security interests, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions, guarantees, sales of assets other than in the normal course of business, leasing, changes in ownership and payment of dividends.
No dividends were declared or paid in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 .
The Company believes that cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, the revolving line of credit and other resources, will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months. The Company continues to develop opportunities within new and existing channels where the Company can maximize its return on investments in capital equipment, research and development, marketing and human resources.
Summary of Changes in Cash Position
As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had cash on hand of $284,774 . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash provided by operating activities was $322,045 . Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $768,985 . Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $522,316 . All of the above were from continuing operations. The net cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are discussed in further detail below.
Operating Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash provided by operating activities was $322,045 , due partially to net income of $223,288 as well as an increase in accounts payable of $325,282 , due in part to purchases of raw material inventory driven by increased demand in custom thermoplastic injection molding.
Additionally, accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $283,897 due in part to an increase of $109,650 for inventory received but not invoiced at June 30, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014 . Additionally, accrued payroll, taxes and benefits increased by $119,020 due in part to a seven day accrual at June 30, 2015 as compared to a three day accrual at December 31, 2014 . In addition, current deferred revenue related to tooling increased by $64,790 as a result of previously deferred items becoming current. As on offset, non-current liabilities consisting of non-current deferred revenues related to total tooling decreased $249,619 .
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other assets of $226,802 consisting of current and non-current deferred cost of goods sold related to tooling.
Cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by non-cash add-backs for depreciation and amortization of $730,013 .
These sources of cash were partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable of $824,149 due largely to timing of shipments at the end of the quarter. Additional uses of cash came from a decrease in inventory of $23,518 and cash used in deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets of $76,378 .
In addition, there was a non-cash adjustment for net income from discontinued operations of $362,610 .
Investing Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash used in investing activities was $768,985 . The net cash used was primarily for capital expenditures of $784,157 , largely for machinery and equipment, primarily for the contract manufacturing of orthopedic implant components as well as for molding equipment.
The capital expenditures were partially offset by $20,700 of proceeds from the sale of fixed assets.
Financing Cash Flows
For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash provided by financing activities was $522,316 . Cash was provided by proceeds of $320,000 from the Company's revolver and proceeds from the equipment line of credit of $415,785 , offset by payments on term notes payable of $242,080 . Additionally, there were proceeds of $28,611 from the exercise of stock options.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (“the Certifying Officers”) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based on such evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective.
The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of internal controls, and fraud. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

COMMERCIAL EQUIPMENT LINE OF CREDIT
PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,000,000.00                         Worcester, Massachusetts
June 19, 2015

FOR VALUE RECEIVED Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc. , a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware having a principal place of business at 25 Sawyer Passway, Fitchburg, Massachusetts 01420 and Micron Products Inc. , a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts having a principal place of business at 25 Sawyer Passway, Fitchburg, Massachusetts 01420 (each and collectively, the “Borrower”) jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of UniBank for Savings (with its successors, assigns and any future holder or holders of this Note being the “Lender”) at its offices at 49 Church Street, Whitinsville, Massachusetts 01588 or at such other place as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) , or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances made by the Lender to the Borrower under terms hereinafter set forth, whichever is less, in lawful money of the United States, to pay interest on each advance at a variable per annum rate equal to the Interest Rate (as hereafter defined), unless the Default Rate is in effect in which event the Interest Rate shall be the Default Rate. All advances shall be due and payable as set forth herein, but if not sooner paid, this Note and all amounts due hereunder shall be due and payable on June 19, 2021 (said date as the same may be extended from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, being the “Maturity Date”), without notice or demand.

This Note evidences the Borrower’s indebtedness under the $1,000,000 Equipment Line of Credit made by the Bank to the Borrower of even date herewith as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement among the Borrower and the Bank dated March 29, 2013 (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), incorporated herein by reference (the “2015 Equipment Line of Credit”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower may request advances and borrow funds under the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit during the period from the date hereof until the earlier of: (i) June 19, 2016 or (ii) the date upon which the amount of all advances under this Note are equal to the face amount of this Note (such date as it may be extended in writing from time to time, in the Bank’s sole discretion, being referred to herein as the “2015 Equipment Conversion Date”). The Borrower’s privilege to

-14-
    

Exhibit 10.61

request advances and borrow funds under the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit shall terminate on the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date or, at the Bank’s option, an earlier Default or Event of Default. The aggregate amount of all advances advanced under the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit shall not exceed $1,000,000.00. Advances which are repaid may not be reborrowed. Should the amount of said advances at any time exceed the maximum amount permitted herein, the Borrower shall be obligated to immediately pay to the Bank the amount of such excess together with accrued and unpaid interest.

Interest on the outstanding principal of all advances hereunder shall be due and payable commencing one month from the date hereof and continuing monthly thereafter on the same day or last day, whichever shall first occur, of each succeeding month (each a “Payment Date”) until the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date.
    
Commencing with the first Payment Date after the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date, principal and interest shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments the number of which shall be equal to the number of months remaining between the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date and the Maturity Date and of which all but the last (the “Final Payment”) shall be in such amount as is necessary to amortize the outstanding principal balance of this Note with interest thereon at the rate applicable from time to time hereunder based upon an assumed direct reduction amortization schedule equal to six (6) years from the date of this Note. Each such monthly installment of principal and interest shall be subject to adjustment by the Lender from time to time in order to insure that payments are sufficient to properly amortize the then outstanding principal balance of this Note with interest thereon based upon the applicable assumed amortization schedule and changes in the rate of interest applicable from time to time to the principal balance of this Note. The Lender may adjust any monthly installment upon written notice to the Borrower if a failure to so adjust would result in less than the total amount of all accrued interest due being paid on any Payment Date (as hereafter defined).

The first of said consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest shall be due and payable on the first Payment Date after the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date and the remainder of said monthly payments shall be due on the same day or last day, whichever shall first occur, of each succeeding month thereafter (each a “Payment Date”). The Final Payment shall be in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owing hereunder. The Final Payment, unless sooner paid, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, without notice or demand.

This Note has been executed and delivered subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

1. Definitions . For purposes of this Note, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

reimbursement obligations of any Borrower, actual or contingent, in respect of letters of credit or banker’s acceptances issued by the Lender for the account of or guaranteed by any Borrower, all obligations of any partnership of joint venture as to which any Borrower is or may become liable and any so called SWAP contracts entered into by or given by any Borrower to the Lender, regardless of how they arise or by what agreement or instrument they may be evidenced or whether evidenced by any agreement or instrument, any and all obligations arising under any foreign exchange contracts, interest rate cap, floor or hedging agreements, or similar agreements, all obligations of any Borrower to the Lender arising out of or in connection with any Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) Agreements relating to the processing of ACH transactions, all obligations of any Borrower to the Lender to repay overdrafts whether or not such obligations are related to the transactions described in the Notes and other Loan Documents, and includes obligations to perform acts and refrain from taking action as well as obligations to pay money. The term “Obligations” shall also include without limitation all accrued interest and all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, costs and expenses relating to the appraisal and/or valuation of assets and all costs and expenses incurred or paid by the Lender in exercising, preserving, defending, collecting, administering, enforcing or protecting any of its rights under the Obligations or hereunder or with respect to the Collateral or in any litigation arising out of the transactions evidenced by the Obligations. The term “Obligations” shall be construed in its broadest and most comprehensive sense.

1.11 “Open Credits” mean the face amount of all letters of credit or bankers acceptances issued by the Lender for the account of any Borrower or guaranteed by any Borrower.

1.12 “Prime Rate” means the highest per annum rate of interest published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time as the Prime Rate. In the event that the reference rate of interest currently referred to in the Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” shall no longer exist or no longer referred to as the “Prime Rate”, or in the event the Lender or a future holder of the Note shall no longer use the Wall Street Journal published Prime Rate as its reference rate of interest, then such term shall be deemed to refer to the comparable fluctuating reference rate of interest adopted or used in lieu thereof by the Lender or any such future holder, whether such rate be referred as to the “prime rate”, “base rate” or otherwise.

2. Interest Rate . Except as hereinafter provided, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at a fluctuating per annum rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate plus one quarter of one percent (0.25%) until the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date. On the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date, the per annum rate of interest shall be automatically adjusted to a fixed per annum rate equal to the greater of: (i) the Base Rate as at the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date plus three percentage points (3.00) or (ii) four and one quarter of one percent (4.25%), at which time the interest rate shall be fixed until the Maturity Date. Changes in the rate of interest resulting from changes in the Prime Rate shall take place immediately without notice or demand of any kind. For all purposes of this Note, the Lender’s written notice or

-17-
    

Exhibit 10.61

statement to the Borrower of the applicable rate of interest shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

3. Advances, Notice Of Borrowing .

3.1 When the Borrower desires to borrow hereunder, it shall give the Lender notice specifying the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Banking Day) and the amount to be borrowed. If any advance is made, the Lender shall record on the books and records of the Lender an appropriate notation evidencing such advance, each repayment on account of the principal thereof and the amount of interest paid; and the Borrower authorizes the Lender to maintain such records or make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the books and records as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount owing to the Lender pursuant to this Note, absent manifest error. Amounts borrowed under this Note may not be reborrowed. Unless a Default or an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower may borrow and repay under this Note; provided, however, that: (i) each request by the Borrower for an advance hereunder shall be accompanied by an invoice evidencing the price and specifications of the equipment being purchased; (ii) at no time shall the outstanding principal balance of this Note exceed an amount equal to the face amount of this Note minus the aggregate amount of all Open Credits (the “2015 Equipment Maximum Availability”); (iii) at no time shall advances be requested which would cause the outstanding principal balance of this Note to exceed the 2015 Equipment Maximum Availability; (iv) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date; and (v) any privilege to request advances hereunder shall terminate on the 2015 Equipment Conversion Date.

3.2 [Intentionally omitted].

3.3 Any advance hereunder shall not exceed eighty percent (80%) of the invoice amount of the equipment being purchased with the proceeds of the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit.

3.4 The making of any advances by the Lender to the Borrower under the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit in excess of the 2015 Equipment Maximum Availability is for the Borrower’s benefit and does not in any way effect the unconditional obligation of the Borrower to repay such advances under the terms of this Note and the other applicable Loan Documents. Without limiting any other rights available to the Lender under the Loan Documents, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender upon DEMAND (whether or not an Event of Default exists) the principal balance of the 2015 Equipment Line of Credit outstanding in excess of the 2015 Equipment Maximum Availability together with all accrued and unpaid interest.

4. Interest Rate/Payments .


-18-
    

Exhibit 10.61

4.1. Interest Rate, Payment of Interest . So long as no Event of Default has occurred and subject to the terms hereof, each advance hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate called for and calculated pursuant to the terms of this Note.

4.2. Accounts; Records. The Lender is authorized (but not required) to charge principal and interest and all other amounts due under this Note to any account of any Borrower with the Lender when and as it becomes due. All advances made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be evidenced by an appropriate notation on the books and records of the Lender, which records shall reflect each repayment on account of the principal thereof, and the amount of interest paid; and the Borrower authorizes the Lender to maintain such records or make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the books and records of the Lender, as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount owing to the Lender pursuant to this Note, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure by the Lender to make any such notation with respect to any advance or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

4.3 Additional Payments . If the Lender in its reasonable judgment determines that the effect of an applicable law or government regulation, guideline or order or the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof (such as, for example, a change in official reserve requirements which the Lender is required to maintain in respect of loans or deposits or other funds procured for funding such loans) is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or continuing a Loan hereunder or to reduce the amount of any payment of principal or interest receivable by the Lender thereon, then the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand such additional amounts as the Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, to be required to compensate the Lender for such additional costs or reduction. Any additional payment under this section will be computed from the effective date at which such additional costs have to be borne by the Lender. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this section setting forth the basis and method of determining such amounts shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the determination by the Lender set forth therein if made reasonably and in good faith. The Borrower shall pay any and all amounts so certified to it by the Lender within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate.

5. 360 Day Year / Default Rate . All computations of interest under this Note shall be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and the actual number of days elapsed. To the extent allowed by applicable law, after the occurrence of any Event of Default, after the Maturity Date or after judgment has been rendered on this Note, all outstanding principal and unpaid interest shall bear, until paid, interest at a rate per annum equal to four (4.000) percentage points greater than the Interest Rate called for and calculated pursuant to the terms of this Note (the “Default Rate”).

6. Late Charge . If a regularly scheduled payment is fifteen (15) days or more late, Borrower will be charged five percent (5.000%) of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or twenty five dollars ($25.00), whichever is greater. If the Lender demands payment of

-19-
    

Exhibit 10.61

the Loan and the Borrower does not pay the Loan within fifteen (15) days after the Lender’s demand, the Borrower will be charged either five percent (5.000%) of the unpaid principal plus accrued unpaid interest or twenty five dollars ($25.00), whichever is greater.

7. Expenses . The Borrower further promises to pay to the Lender, as incurred, and as an additional part of the unpaid principal balance, all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (which may include, without limitation, the allocable cost of the Lender’s internal legal counsel) incurred: (a) in the protection, modification, collection, defense or enforcement of all or part of this Note or any guaranty hereof or any other Loan Document; (b) in the foreclosure or enforcement of any mortgage or security interest which may now or hereafter secure either the debt hereunder or any guaranty thereof; (c) with respect to any action taken to protect, defend, modify or sustain the lien of any such mortgage or security agreement; (d) with respect to any litigation or controversy arising from or connected with this Note or any mortgage or security agreement or collateral which may now or hereafter secure this Note; or (e) with respect to any act to protect defend, modify, enforce or release any of its rights or remedies with regard to, or otherwise effect collection of, any collateral which may now or in the future secure this Note or with regard to or against the Borrower or any endorser, guarantor or surety of this Note.

8. Prepayment . The Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty or premium.

9. Mandatory Prepayment / Application of Payments .

9.1. The Borrower shall be required to prepay ON DEMAND all advances made under this Note to the extent the aggregate of all such advances exceeds the amounts permitted hereunder. In addition the Borrower shall pay, if applicable, charges incurred pursuant to the terms hereof.

9.2. All payments, including any prepayments shall, at the option of the Lender, be applied first to interest on the unpaid principal of all advances due under this Note, and then to the payment of all fees, costs, and expenses incurred by the Lender or owing to the Lender by the Borrower arising out of the loan transaction evidenced by this Note which have not been paid or reimbursed to the Lender, and then to the balance on account of the principal due under this Note.

Prepayments of principal (whether voluntary or involuntary) shall be applied to unpaid principal installments under this Note in inverse order of their maturity and shall not affect the obligation to pay regular installments due hereunder until the entire indebtedness is paid in full.

10. Loan Agreement . This Note has been executed and delivered in accordance with the Loan Agreement which sets forth further terms and conditions upon which the entire unpaid principal hereof and all interest hereon may become due and payable prior to the Maturity Date, and generally as to further rights of the Lender and duties of the Borrower with respect hereto. Capitalized terms not defined herein which are defined terms in the Loan Agreement shall have

-20-
    

Exhibit 10.61

the meanings set forth therein. No reference to the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents or to any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay principal or interest or other amounts owing under this Note.

11. Default .

11.1.    The happening of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:

11.1.1. Failure to make any payment of principal or interest or any sum due under this Note or any other promissory note or instrument made by the Borrower or any one or more of them in favor of the Lender; or

11.1.2. Failure by any Borrower to observe or perform any covenant contained herein; or

11.1.3 A default or the occurrence of an event of default in any other Loan Document including, without limitation, an Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement.

11.2. Upon and after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the availability of advances hereunder shall, at the option of the Lender, be deemed to be automatically terminated. Upon and after an Event of Default, at the option of the Lender, the whole of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, including principal and interest, and all other amounts which may be or become due or owing by the Borrower to the Lender shall, at the option of the Lender, immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, or other notice of dishonor of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

12. Waivers, Consent to Jurisdiction . Each Borrower agrees that no delay or failure on the part of the Lender in exercising any power, privilege, remedy, option or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other power, privilege, remedy or right; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power, privilege, remedy, option or right hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, privilege, remedy, option or right. The rights and remedies expressed herein are cumulative, and may be enforced successively, alternately, or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which holder may or would otherwise have under the provisions of all applicable laws, and under the provisions of all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender.

Each Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note. Each Borrower hereby assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to the addition or release of any party or person

-21-
    

Exhibit 10.61

primarily or secondarily liable, and to the addition, release and/or substitution of all or any portion of any collateral now or hereafter securing this Note.

Each Borrower hereby waives such rights as it may have to notice and/or hearing under any applicable federal or state laws pertaining to the exercise by Lender of such rights as the Lender may have regarding the right to seek prejudgment remedies and/or deprive Borrower of or affect the use of or possession or enjoyment of Borrower’s property prior to the rendition of a final judgment against the Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any right it may have to require Lender to provide a bond or other security as a precondition to or in connection with any prejudgment remedy sought by Lender, and waives any objection to the issuance of such prejudgment remedy based on any offsets, claims, defenses or counterclaims to any action brought by the Lender.

EACH BORROWER AND LENDER MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO MAKE THE LOAN AND ACCEPT THIS NOTE.

Each Borrower hereby agrees that the following courts: State Court - Any state or local court of the Governing State; Federal Court - United States District Court for the District of the Governing State; or at the option of Lender, any court in which Lender shall initiate legal or equitable proceedings and which has subject matter jurisdiction over the matter in controversy, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between Borrower and Lender pertaining directly or indirectly to this Note or to any matter arising in connection with this Note. Each Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or proceeding commenced in such courts, hereby waiving personal service of the summons and complaint, or other process or papers issued therein, and agreeing that service of such summons and complaint, or other process or papers, may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth herein. Should Borrower fail to appear or answer any summons, complaint, process or papers so served within thirty (30) days after the mailing thereof, it shall be deemed in default and an order and/or judgment may be entered against it as demanded or prayed for in such summons, complaint, process or papers. The exclusive choice of forum set forth herein shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Note to enforce the same in any appropriate jurisdiction.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Governing State.


-22-
    

Exhibit 10.61

13. Maximum Permissible Interest Rate . The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay and the Lender shall not collect interest at a rate higher than the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that will not subject the Lender to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the acceleration of maturity the payment of interest in advance or any other reason, the Borrower is required, under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such maximum rate and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein from the date of such payment, shall be immediately and automatically applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the date on which such excess payment was made. If the amount to be so applied to reduction of the unpaid principal balance exceeds the unpaid principal balance, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by the Lender to the Borrower.

14. Replacement Documents . Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note or any other security document(s) which is not of public record and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other document(s), the Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other document(s) in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

-23-
    

Exhibit 10.61

15. Transfer and Assignment .

15.1.    The Lender may at any time pledge, endorse, assign, or transfer all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents including any portion of this Note to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act. 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or enforcement thereof shall release the Lender from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

15.2.    The Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time, and without any Borrower’s consent, to sell, assign, endorse, or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more lenders or other entities (each an “Assignee”), and each Borrower agrees that it shall execute, or cause to be executed such documents including without limitation, amendments to this Note and to any other documents, instruments, and agreements executed in connection herewith as the Lender shall deem necessary to effect the foregoing. In addition, at the request of the Lender or any such Assignee, the Borrower shall issue one or more new promissory notes, as applicable, to any such Assignee and, if the Lender has retained any of its rights and obligations hereunder following such assignment, to the Lender, which new promissory notes shall be issued in replacement of, but not in discharge of, the liability evidenced by the note held by the Lender prior to such assignment and shall reflect the amount of the respective commitments and loans held by such Assignee and the Lender after giving effect to such assignment. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments, and any other documentation required by the Lender in connection with such assignment, and the payment by such Assignee of the purchase price agreed to by Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a party to this Note and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Lender hereunder (and under any and all other guaranties, documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by the Lender pursuant to the assignment documentation between the Lender and such Assignee, and the Lender shall be released from its obligation hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent.

15.3.    The Lender shall have the unrestricted right at any time and from time to time, and without the consent of or notice to the Borrower to grant to one or more institutions or other persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Lender’s obligations to lend hereunder and/or any or all of the loans held by the Lender hereunder. In the event of any such grant by the Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower, the Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. The Lender shall furnish any information concerning the Borrower in its possession from time to time to any prospective assignees and Participants, provided that the Lender shall require any such prospective assignee or Participant to maintain the confidentiality of such information.


-24-
    

Exhibit 10.61

16. Setoff . Each Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a lien, security interest, and a right of setoff as security for all of the Obligations, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral, and property of any Borrower, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping, or control of the Lender or any entity under the control of the Lender, or in transit to any of them. At any time, without demand or notice, the Lender may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of the Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS, OR OTHER PROPERTY OF EACH BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. The Lender shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for, or guarantees of, the Obligations or to resort to any such security or guarantee in any particular order and each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent that it lawfully can: (a) any right it might have to require the Lender to pursue any particular remedy before proceeding against them; and (b) any right to the benefit of, or to direct the application of the proceeds of any collateral until the Obligations are paid in full.

17. Security . This Note and all other Obligations are secured by all assets of each Borrower whenever arising or created in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement and all other documents which create or perfect security interests in assets or properties of any Borrower. This Note and all other Obligations are further secured by that certain specific equipment of the Borrower to be purchased with the proceeds of the Loan.

18. Extension of Relevant Dates . In the event that any relevant date upon which a payment is due and payable under this Note or which affects any interest rate option of the Borrower shall fall on a date which is not a Banking Day, then any such relevant date may be extended by the Lender in accordance with the Modified Following Banking Day Convention and interest shall continue to accrue, and the relevant due dates shall also be extended, for the period of that extension at the interest rate or rates then in effect. For purposes hereof, the “Modified Following Banking Day Convention” shall mean the convention for adjusting any relevant date if it would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Banking Day. When used in conjunction with the term, “Modified Following Banking Day Convention”, and a date, such term shall mean that an adjustment will be made if that date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Banking Day so that the date will be the first following day that is a Banking Day.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinabove contained, if application of the Modified Following Banking Day Convention would cause any payment due under the terms of this Note to be due and payable in a calendar month which differs from the month in which the payment would otherwise have been due, then, at the Lender’s option, the Modified Following Banking Day Convention shall not apply and such payment shall be due and payable on the immediately preceding Banking Day.

19. Joint and Several Obligations; Miscellaneous . This Note and all representations and covenants of the Borrower herein shall be the joint and several obligation of the Borrower

-25-
    

Exhibit 10.61

and each provision of this Note shall apply to each and all jointly and severally and to the property and liabilities of each and all. This Note is the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms governing this Note. No modification or amendment hereof shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender and the Borrower. If any provision of this Note shall to any extent by held invalid or unenforceable, then only such provision shall be deemed ineffective and the remainder of this Note shall not be affected. The provisions of this Note shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors of each and every Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
    
20. Acknowledgment of Borrower . The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Note, and attests that each advance is to be used for general commercial purposes and that no part of such proceeds will be used, in whole or in part, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as such term is defined in Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R. Parts 221 and 224.

21. COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADVANCES EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE ARE PART OF A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION.
