                                                                January 21, 2005

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION ("Borrower")
promises to pay to the order of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank")
at its office at 333 South Grand Avenue, Suite 940, Los Angeles, California
90071, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful
money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the
principal sum of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000), or so much thereof as may
be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each
advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

      This Revolving Line of Credit Note (this "Note") replaces the Line of
Credit Note originally issued on January 27, 2004 pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 27, 2004 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement") between Borrower and
Bank. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are
used herein as therein defined. Reference hereby is made to the Loan Documents
for a description of the assets in which a Lien has been granted, the nature and
extent of the security and the guaranties, the terms and conditions upon which
the Liens and each guaranty were granted and the rights of the holder of this
Note in respect thereof.

      DEFINITIONS:

      As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set
forth at the place defined:

      (a) "Applicable Margin" means, as of any date of determination, (i) 1.50%
minus (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom and the reduction in the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan contemplated by this clause (ii) was not
effected with the net cash proceeds from an Advance or a sale of assets (other
than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business) (A) if the aggregate
principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding is less than $15,000,000 but
greater than or equal to $10,000,000, 0.25%, (B) if the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loan outstanding is less than $10,000,000 but greater than or
equal to $5,000,000, 0.50%, and (C) if the aggregate principal amount of the
Term Loan outstanding is less than $5,000,000, 0.75%.

      (b) "Prime Rate" means at any time the rate of interest most recently
announced within Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, with the
understanding that the Prime Rate is one of Bank's base rates and serves as the
basis upon which effective rates of interest are

                                       3



calculated for those loans making reference thereto, and is evidenced by the
recording thereof after its announcement in such internal publication or
publications as Bank may designate.

INTEREST:

      (a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a
fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect from time to time
plus the Applicable Margin. Each change in the Prime Rate shall become effective
on the date such change is announced within Bank.

      (b) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on
the first day of each month, commencing February 1, 2005.

      (c) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or
such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by
acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the
basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above
the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

      (a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the
term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings,
and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this
Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note;
provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall
not at any time exceed the principal amount set forth above or such lesser
amount as shall at any time be available hereunder, as set forth in the Credit
Agreement. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be
the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of
principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be
endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal
balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on Line of Credit
Termination Date.

      (b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum
stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of (i)
Robert A. Virtue, Robert Dose, Doug Virtue or Bassey Yau, any one of them acting
alone, who are authorized to request Advances and direct the disposition of any
Advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by
the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to
Advances deposited to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower, which
advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to
or for the benefit of Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than
those authorized to request Advances may have authority to draw against such
account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person
requesting an Advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

      (c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be
credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding
principal balance hereof.

PREPAYMENT:

                                       4



      (a) Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note at any time,
in any amount and without penalty.

      (b) The principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable as
follows and without set off, counterclaim or reduction of any kind:

            (i) the amount, if any, by which the LC Usage Amount at any time
      exceeds the lesser of the Maximum Line of Credit Amount or the Borrowing
      Base at such date shall be payable immediately; and

            (ii) the principal Indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable on
      the Line of Credit Termination Date.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

      Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this
Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall
constitute an "Event of Default" under this Note.

sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be
joint and several.

      (b) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of California.
