Each Loan Party is duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party is in violation of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each Loan Party is duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Authorization; Enforcement. Each Loan Party has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Loan Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of each of the Loan Documents by each Loan Party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action on the part of such Loan Party and no consent or further corporate or limited liability company action is required on its part in connection therewith. Each Loan Document executed and delivered by a Loan Party has been duly executed by it and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(d) No Conflicts.

organizational or charter documents, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Loan Party debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which a Loan Party is a party or by which any property or asset of a Loan Party is bound or affected, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which a Loan Party is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of a Loan Party is bound or affected; except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Parent has made available to the Lender or its respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the SEC Reports not available on the EDGAR system (if any). As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of Parent included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or amendment, as applicable). Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in

the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments or adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate.

(g) Tax Status. Each of the Loan Parties (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of Parent know of no basis for any such claim.

(h) Material Changes. Since the date of the latest financial statements included in the SEC Reports, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) Parent has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in Parents’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) Parent has not altered its method of accounting or the identity of its auditors, (iv) Parent has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock, (v) Parent has not sold any assets outside of the ordinary course of business, (vi) Parent has not made any material capital expenditures and (vi) Parent has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Parent stock option plans. Parent does not have pending before the Commission any request for confidential treatment of information. None of the Loan Parties has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does Parent have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so.

(i) Litigation. There is no Action which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents against any Loan Party or (ii) except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports, would, if there were an unfavorable decision, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party, nor any director or officer thereof (in his or her capacity as such), is or has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, except as specifically disclosed in the SEC Reports. There has not been, and to the knowledge of Parent, there is not pending any investigation by the

Commission involving Parent or any current or former director or officer of Parent (in his or her capacity as such).

(j) Labor Relations. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(j) hereof, no material labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, is imminent with respect to any of the employees of any Loan Party. No Loan Party is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Loan Parties believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the Securities Act) of a Loan Party has notified a Loan Party that such officer intends to leave the Loan Party or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Loan Party. No executive officer of a Loan Party is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject a Loan Party to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

(k) Compliance. No Loan Party (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default under), nor has any Loan Party received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (except to the extent such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, ordinance, rule or regulation of any governmental authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, pollution, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety or employment and labor matters, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Parent is in compliance with all effective requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, that are applicable to it, except where such noncompliance would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Regulatory Permits. The Loan Parties possess all certificates, authorizations, licenses and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess any such certificates, authorizations, licenses or permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and no Loan Party has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization, license or permit.

(m) Title to Assets. The Loan Parties have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to their respective businesses and good and marketable title in all personal property owned or used by them that is material to their respective businesses, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Loan Parties are held by them under valid, subsisting and, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, enforceable leases of which the Loan Parties are in compliance, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Patents and Trademarks.

(i) Schedule 3.1(p) to this Agreement accurately sets forth all material Intellectual Property that is owned and used in the business of the Loan Parties, viewed as a whole, as presently conducted (“Company’s IP”). No Intellectual Property other than the Company’s IP is material to the business of any Loan Party as presently conducted or as presently proposed to be conducted. A Loan Party is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to Company’s IP (with no breaks in the chain of title thereof) free and clear of, to its knowledge, any claim, security interest, lien, pledge, option, charge or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever. Company’s IP has not been used or enforced or failed to be used or enforced in a manner that would result in the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of any Loan Party’s material rights in and to Company’s IP.

(ii) No Loan Party has transferred any rights or interest in, or granted any exclusive license with respect to, any of the Company’s IP to any third party.¹

(iii) To the Loan Parties’ knowledge, all of Company’s IP is currently in compliance in all material respects with all legal requirements (including timely filings, proofs and payments of fees) and is, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, valid and enforceable. No Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of any Loan Party’s businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted has been or is now involved in any pending or threatened cancellation, dispute or litigation of which any Loan Party is aware. No patent of a Loan Party has been or is now involved in any interference, reissue, re-examination or opposition proceeding.

(iv) All of the licenses and sublicenses and consent, royalty or other agreements concerning Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of each Loan Party’s businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted to which any Loan Party is a party or by which any of its assets are bound (other than generally commercially available, non-custom, off-the-shelf software application programs having a retail acquisition price of less than $25,000 per license) (collectively, “License Agreements”) are valid and binding obligations of the Loan Parties that are

parties thereto and, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and there exists no event or condition which, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, will result in a material violation or breach of or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such License Agreement.

(v) Each Loan Party owns or has the valid right to use all of the Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operation of its business as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted. The Loan Parties have a valid and enforceable right to use all third party Intellectual Property and confidential information used or held for use as the Company’s IP.

(vi) To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, the conduct of the Loan Parties’ businesses as currently conducted does not infringe or otherwise impair or conflict with (collectively, “Infringe”) any Intellectual Property rights of any third party or any confidentiality obligation owed to a third party, and, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, the Company’s IP which are necessary for the conduct of any Loan Party’s businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted are not being Infringed by any third party. There is no litigation or order pending or outstanding or, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, threatened or imminent, that seeks to limit or challenge or that concerns the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any of the Company’s IP or, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, the Loan Parties’ use of any Intellectual Property or Confidential Information owned by a third party, and, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, there is no valid basis for the same.

(vii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents will not result in the alteration, loss, impairment of or restriction on any Loan Party’s ownership or right to use any of the Company’s IP which is necessary for the conduct of any Loan Party’s businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted.

(o) Insurance. The Loan Parties are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Loan Parties are engaged. The Loan Parties have no reason to believe that they will not be able to renew their existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business on terms consistent in all material respects with market for similar size companies as the Loan Parties for the lines of business of the Loan Parties at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for.

(p) Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. None of the officers or directors of Parent and, to the knowledge of Loan Parties, none of the employees of the Loan Parties is presently a party to any transaction with a Loan Party (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by,

providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner, which in each case is required to be disclosed in the SEC Reports and has not been so disclosed.

(q) Internal Accounting Controls. Each Loan Party maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Parent has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for Parent and designed such disclosure controls and procedures so that they are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information relating to the Loan Parties is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which Parent’s Form 10-K or 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. Parent’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of Parent’s controls and procedures in accordance with Item 307 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act for the Company’s most recently ended fiscal quarter or fiscal year-end (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). Parent presented in its most recently filed Form 10-K or Form 10-Q the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in Parent’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 308(c) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to Parent’s knowledge, in other factors that would significantly affect Parent’s internal controls. No Loan Party has received any written notice or correspondence from any accountant relating to any potential material weakness in any part of the system of internal accounting controls of Parent

(r) Solvency. Based on the financial condition of the Loan Parties as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (assuming that the Closing shall have occurred), (i) the present fair saleable value of each Loan Party’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of its existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the assets of each Loan Party do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business, including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by such Loan Party, and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash

flow of each Loan Party, together with the proceeds it would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The foregoing representation and warranty is also true and correct as to the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis. No Loan Party intends to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its or their debt).²

(s) Investment Company. Parent is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately following the Closing will not have become, an “investment company,” an Affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(t) Disclosure. The Loan Parties confirm that neither they nor, to their knowledge, any Person acting on their behalf has provided Lender or its agents or counsel with any information that the Loan Parties believe constitutes material, non-public information, except insofar as the existence and terms of the proposed transactions hereunder and the information contained herein or in the other Loan Documents may constitute such information. The Loan Parties understand and confirm that the Lender will rely on the foregoing representations and warranties in effecting transactions in securities of Parent. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lender makes no representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(u) U.S. Real Property Holding Corporation. None of the Loan Parties is, or has ever been, a U.S. real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Parent shall so certify upon the request of Lender.

(v) Foreign Corrupt Practices. No Loan Party nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person acting on behalf of a Loan Party has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, a Loan Party (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended; or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee, except in each case as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Expenses.

(h) Injunctive Relief. Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lender; therefore, the Lender, if the Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

(i) Consequential Damages. Neither the Lender, nor any agent or attorney for it, shall be liable to any Loan Party (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Loan or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(l) Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

(m) Joint and Several Liability.

(i) The Loan Parties agree that their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several, and each Loan Party shall make payment of the Loan by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Loan Party shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Lender to any Loan Party, failure of the Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by the Lender of any collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by the Lender to the other Loan Parties or any collateral for such Loan Party’s obligations or the lack thereof. Each Loan Party waives all suretyship defenses.

(b) Each Subsidiary agrees that if such joint and several liability hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any Liens securing such joint and several liability, would, but for the application of this sentence, be unenforceable under applicable law, such joint and several liability and each such Lien shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause such joint and several liability or such Lien to be unenforceable under applicable law, and such joint and several liability and such Lien shall be deemed to have been automatically amended at all relevant times.

(c) Each Subsidiary hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees it will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Subsidiary and the Parent so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lender under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

SCHEDULE 3(j)

Supplement disclosure regarding Labor Relations

On April 28, 2009 the attorney for Alvin H. Clemens, the Company’s former CEO and former Chairman of the Board of Directors, sent a letter addressed to the Company’s general counsel that alleged, among other things, that Mr. Clemens’s letter of resignation, dated March 31, 2008, was “procured by fraudulent and/or negligent misrepresentations,” that HBDC did not “honor its commitment to agree to a new employment agreement with Mr. Clemens within 15 days” of March 31, 2008, and that the terms of Mr. Clemens’s March 31, 2008 resignation letter were “materially breached by HBDC in numerous respects.” The Company is not aware of any litigation or claim filed against the Company by Mr. Clemens in connection with this matter. The Company believes Mr. Clemens’s allegations are without merit. The April 28, 2009 letter was distributed to all members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
