This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of June 30, 2004 among SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054, 3D SYSTEMS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its Subsidiary, 3D SYSTEMS, Inc., a California corporation (“3D California”) (the Company and 3D California are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Borrower” and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”), whose address is 26081 Avenue Hall, Valencia, CA 91355 provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrowers and Borrowers will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP in effect on the Effective Date. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay.

Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Advances and drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower and interest on the unpaid principal amount of each thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Committed Revolving Line, minus an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit) (such amount, the “Letter of Credit Amount”) plus (ii) the outstanding FX Reserve. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall request Advances pursuant to the terms of Exhibit A-1.

2.1.2 Letters of Credit Sublimit.

Bank will issue or have issued letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for the Borrowers’ account not exceeding (i) the Committed Revolving Line minus (ii) an amount equal to: (y) the outstanding principal balance of the Advances, plus (z) the FX Reserve; however, the Letter of Credit Amount shall at no time exceed $7,500,000 minus an amount equal to the outstanding FX Reserve. Each Letter of Credit will have an expiry date of no later than 180 days after the Revolving Maturity Date. In any event, if the Bank does not elect to extend the terms of

this Agreement, then all Letters of Credit that are outstanding following the Revolving Maturity Date will be secured by unencumbered cash in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit on terms acceptable to Bank. Each Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

2.1.3 Foreign Exchange Sublimit.

If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line, then the Company, on behalf of the Borrowers, may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrowers commit to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). On the effective date of each FX Forward Contract (and without giving effect to any future changes in the market value of such FX Forward Contract), Bank will subtract 10% of the value of such FX Forward Contract (the “FX Reserve”) from the foreign exchange sublimit, which sublimit shall be an amount equal to (i) $7,500,000 minus (ii) an amount equal to the face amount of then outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit). On the termination date of each FX Forward Contract, the FX Reserve corresponding to such FX Forward Contact shall be released by Bank. Bank may terminate all outstanding FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default is declared and Bank has commenced to exercise its remedies under Section 9.1(a), but only if the Company does not provide cash collateral in an aggregate amount of the FX Reserve or other assurance of performance of the obligations under all outstanding FX Forward Contracts satisfactory to Bank within 10 days after the declaration of such Event of Default.

2.2 Overadvances.

If the Revolving Obligations outstanding under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 exceed the Committed Revolving Line or exceed the applicable sublimits, the Borrowers must immediately pay Bank the excess or, in the case that the Letter of Credit or FX Forward Contract sublimits are exceeded, the Borrowers will cash collateralize such excess.

2.3 Interest Rate, Payments.

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at the Interest Rate as defined in Exhibit A-1. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Obligations shall accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate in effect immediately before the occurrence of such Event of Default. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Payments. Interest due on the outstanding Advances, as well as Bank Expenses payable pursuant to Section 9.4, are payable on the first day of each month. In the event that Bank makes any payments pursuant to Section 9.4, Bank shall provide to Borrower, promptly after any such payment is made, supporting documentation relating to such payment . Bank may debit any of Borrowers’ deposit accounts including Account Number 3300395760 (the “Debiting Account”) for principal and interest payments owing by Borrowers to Bank so long as such debit occurs on the date when such payment is due before 12:00 noon Pacific time. Bank will

promptly notify the Company when it debits an account of a Borrower. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day provided, however, that if the funds in the Debiting Account equal or exceed the amount then due and owing to Bank hereunder, then Bank will debit any payments due before 12 noon on the date any such payment is due. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

2.4 Fees.

Each Borrower will jointly and severally pay:

(a) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses) incurred through and after the date of this Agreement, are payable when due. The amount of Bank Expenses actually invoiced and paid on the Effective Date shall be netted against the unapplied expense deposit previously delivered by the Company to Bank.

(b) Closing Fee. A closing fee in the amount of $37,500 fully earned and payable on the Effective Date.

(c) Unused Line Fee. Beginning on July 1, 2004 and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter during the term of this Agreement, an unused line fee, payable in arrears, in an amount equal to 0.375% per annum multiplied by the difference of: (i) $15,000,000 minus (ii) the average Daily Balance of Revolving Obligations that were outstanding during the immediately preceding calendar quarter, provided, however, that the first payment of such fee shall be prorated from the Effective Date through June 30, 2004; and provided, further, that if this Agreement terminates on a date other than the first day of a quarter, this fee shall be due on the date of termination and it shall be prorated to reflect the partial quarter.

(d) Letter of Credit Fee. A non-refundable letter of credit fee equal to 1.00% per annum (or the pro rata portion thereof for the number of days in any period of less than a year that the applicable Letter of Credit is scheduled to be outstanding in accordance with its terms) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit which is a standby letter of credit plus standard documentation and issuance fees charged by Bank, payable on the issuance date of such Letter of Credit and thereafter annually in advance and fully earned upon payment of such fee.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

Each of the Company and 3D California grants Bank a continuing security interest in all presently existing and later acquired Collateral to secure all Obligations and the performance of each of Borrowers’ duties under the Loan Documents. Except for Permitted Liens, any security interest will be a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower on whose name the applicable account is maintained and Bank, Bank may place a “hold” on any deposit account pledged as Collateral solely after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral will continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations, which obligations shall survive the release of Bank’s lien and security interest in the Collateral).

4.2 Authorization of File.

Each Borrower authorizes Bank to file financing statements without notice to such Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions, as Bank deems appropriate, in order to perfect or protect Bank’s interest in the Collateral.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

As of the Effective Date and on the date of each Advance, each Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization and Authorization.

The Company and each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and qualified and licensed to do business in, and in good standing in, any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Within the last five years, neither Borrower has changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with the formation documents of either Borrower, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Neither Borrower is in default under any agreement to which or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral.

Each of the Borrowers has good title to the Collateral, free of Liens except Permitted Liens or such Borrower has Rights to each asset that is Collateral. Neither of the Borrowers has any other deposit account, other than the deposit accounts described in the Schedule. The

Accounts reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (subject to the reserves against such Accounts described therein) are bona fide, existing obligations. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse), other than as described in the Schedule. In the event that a Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then such Borrower will contemporaneously therewith notify Bank and, if such bailee holds more than $500,000 in Collateral, such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. All Inventory shown on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (net of reserves for obsolete and slow moving items shown thereon) is of a quality and quantity usable in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

5.3 Intellectual Property.

Each Borrower owns all the patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises and formulas, or rights with respect to the foregoing, or each has obtained licenses or assignments of all other rights of whatever nature necessary for the present conduct of its businesses, without any known conflict with the rights of others which, or the failure to obtain which, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5.4 Litigation.

Except as shown in the Schedule, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company’s Responsible Officers, threatened by or against the Company or any Subsidiary in which a likely adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.5 No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.

All consolidated financial statements for the Company, delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects the Company’s consolidated financial condition and its consolidated results of operations. There has not been any Material Adverse Change in the Company’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Bank.

5.6 Solvency.

The fair salable value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of their liabilities, on a consolidated basis; the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and each Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.7 Regulatory Compliance.

(a) Neither Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower is engaged as one

of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).

(b) Each Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(c) Each Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules governing such Borrower, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

(d) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7 attached hereto, none of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s properties or assets has been used by the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally or in any other manner which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(e) The Company and each Subsidiary have timely filed all tax returns required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries, all taxes shown upon such returns as due have been paid and all other material taxes upon each of the Company and its Subsidiaries or their properties, assets, income, and franchises (including Real Property taxes, sales taxes, and payroll taxes) have been paid prior to delinquency, except (i) those taxes being contested in good faith, through appropriate proceedings and for which the relevant Borrower has established adequate reserves under GAAP or (ii) to the extent the failure to file any such tax returns or pay any such tax could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

(f) The Company and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5.8 Subsidiaries.

Neither Borrower owns any Stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.9 Full Disclosure.

No written representation, warranty or other statement of either Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Bank (taken together with all such written certificates and written statements to Bank) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading, it being recognized by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by the Company have been provided by the Company in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions that are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected and forecasted results.

6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each Borrower will do all of the following for so long as Bank has an obligation to lend, or there are outstanding Obligations:

6.1 Government Compliance.

Each Borrower will maintain its and all Subsidiaries’ legal existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, except for the Subsidiaries listed in Schedule 6.1 and such other Subsidiaries as are no longer useful to the conduct of the Company’s consolidated business. Each Borrower will comply, and have each Subsidiary comply, with all laws, ordinances and regulations to which it is subject, noncompliance with which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business or operations or would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

6.2 Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates.

(a) The Company will deliver to Bank: (i) a company prepared consolidated and consolidating balance sheet and income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows covering the Company’s consolidated operations during the period, certified by a Responsible Officer and in a form acceptable to Bank as soon as available, but no later than the earlier of: (y) 45 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter (excluding the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter), or (z) within 5 days after the filing of such financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (ii) as soon as available, but no later than 90 days after the last day of the Company’s fiscal year, audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP, consistently applied, together with an unqualified opinion on the financial statements from an independent certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Bank; (iii) as soon as available, but no later than 90 days after the last day of the Company’s fiscal year, a company prepared consolidating balance sheet and income statement covering the Company’s consolidated operations during the fiscal year, certified by a Responsible Officer, (iv) within 5 days after filing, copies of all reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the SEC; (v) a prompt report of any legal actions pending or threatened in writing against the Company or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs to the Company or any Subsidiary of $1,000,000 or more; (vi) as soon as available but no later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year the Company’s financial projections for the upcoming year and, following approval thereof by the Company’s Board of Directors written notice of such approval together with a description of any material deviations from the projections delivered to the Bank; (vii) budgets, sales projections, operating plans or other financial information Bank reasonably requests; and (viii) prompt notice of any material change in the composition of the Intellectual Property, including any subsequent ownership right of the Company or a domestic Subsidiary in or to any material (in the Company’s good faith business judgment) registered Copyright, Patent or Trademark not shown in any intellectual property security agreement between Borrower and Bank or knowledge of an event that materially adversely affects the value of the Intellectual Property.

(b) Within 45 days after the last day of each fiscal quarter, the Company will deliver to Bank with the quarterly financial statements a Compliance Certificate signed by a Responsible Officer in the form of Exhibit C.

(c) Bank has the right to audit the Collateral at the Company’s expense, but the audits will be conducted no more often than every six months unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.3 Inventory; Returns.

All Inventory shown on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (net of reserves for obsolete and slow moving items shown thereon) will be of a quality and quantity usable in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and presented with a value thereon at the lesser of cost or the net realizable value thereof, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Returns and allowances between each Borrower and its account debtors will follow such Borrower’s customary practices as they exist at execution of this Agreement. Each Borrower must promptly notify Bank of all returns, recoveries, disputes and claims, that involve more than $2,000,000 in the aggregate for which provision have not already been made in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

6.4 Taxes.

The Company will make, and cause each Subsidiary to make, timely payment of all federal, state, and local taxes or assessments and will deliver to Bank, promptly on demand, appropriate certificates attesting to the payment thereof, except to the extent (i) such taxes are being contested in good faith, through appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves have been established under GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay any such tax could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

6.5 Insurance.

Each Borrower will keep its business adequately insured as determined by the Company in the exercise of its prudent business judgment, provided that any such insurance policies shall be of the type and provide coverage substantially similar to other insurance policies maintained by companies in Borrowers’ industry.

At Bank’s request, each Borrower will deliver certified copies of policies and evidence of all premium payments. Proceeds payable under any policy providing coverage for property losses will, at Bank’s option following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be payable to Bank on account of the Obligations. At any time during which an Event of Default does not then exist, all proceeds in respect of casualty insurance shall be advanced to the Company or its Subsidiaries to be used solely for the prompt repair or replacement of the damaged or destroyed property that gave rise to casualty claim.

The Company will give Bank 10 Business Days prior written notice of any change in the chief executive office of the Company or any domestic Subsidiary, which chief executive office is, as of the Effective Date, identified on Schedule 6.6(b).

6.7 Primary Accounts.

The Borrowers will maintain their primary depository, operating, and investment accounts with Bank. The foregoing notwithstanding, Bank understands and agrees that (i) the Borrowers currently maintain their primary depository, operating and investment accounts with U.S. Bank, (ii) the Borrowers will continue to maintain such accounts while the Borrowers’ notify their account debtors and transition the collection of Accounts from U.S. Bank to Bank and (iii) the retention of such accounts is not a default under this Agreement.

9. BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) Declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable; notify any Person owing either Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and verify the amount of the Account. The Borrowers must collect all payments in trust for Bank and, if requested by Bank, immediately deliver the payments to Bank in the form received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit;

(d) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. The Borrowers will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. The Borrowers grant Bank a license to enter and occupy any of their premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of the Borrowers it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of either Borrower;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank is granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, either Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section,

each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit; and

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2 Power of Attorney.

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, each Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse such Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign each Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Intentionally Omitted.

9.4 Bank Expenses.

If (i) a Borrower fails to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, in each case to the extent required to be paid or furnished hereunder, (ii) an Event of Default then exists, and (iii) the failure to make such payment impairs either Bank’s access to the Collateral or the value of the Collateral, Bank may make all or part of the payment or obtain insurance policies required in Section 6.5 or pay any other amounts required to preserve the Collateral, and take any action under insurance policies Bank deems prudent. Any amounts paid by Bank are Bank Expenses, are due and payable in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and will bear interest at the then applicable rate at all times starting on the sixth Business Day immediately following the due date of such Bank Expenses and will be secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

If Bank complies with reasonable banking practices and Section 9-207 of the Code, it is not liable for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other person. The Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 Remedies Cumulative.

Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence. No waiver is effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it was given.

9.7 Demand Waiver.

Except for such notices and demands as are expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, the Borrowers waive demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which the Borrowers are liable.

10. NOTICES

All notices or demands by any party about this Agreement or any other related agreement must be in writing and be personally delivered or sent by an overnight delivery service, by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telefacsimile to the addresses set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. A party may change its notice address by giving the other party written notice.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California.

EACH BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS.

12.3 Time of Essence.

Time is of the essence for the performance of all obligations in this Agreement.

12.6 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, are an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.7 Survival.

All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force while any Obligations remain outstanding. The obligations of the Company in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank will survive until all statutes of limitations for actions that may be brought against Bank have run; provided, however, if all Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations) Bank will release all liens upon and security interests in the Collateral.

12.8 Confidentiality.

In handling any confidential information, Bank will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made (i) to Bank’s subsidiaries or affiliates in connection with their business with Borrower, (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the loans (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts in obtaining such prospective transferee or purchasers agreement of the terms of this provision), (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order, (iv) as required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit and (v) as Bank considers appropriate exercising remedies under this Agreement.

4. Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rate Loans; Etc.

Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon demand by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Supplement in respect of any Loans (other than changes which affect taxes measured by or imposed on the overall net income of Bank by the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or

A-1-4

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Supplement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of the Loan Agreement which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 4. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 4 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon the request of Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the sole good faith opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, costs or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by Borrower to borrow a Loan on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing hereunder.

(d) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (a “Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by Bank, Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) If at any time Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that: (i) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the LIBOR Rate Loan, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, and upon the giving of such notice Bank’s obligation to make the LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, unless Bank and the Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans. If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Loans, or to perform its obligations hereunder, upon demand by

A-1-5

Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 4(a) of this Exhibit A-1).
