AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Loan Agreement.

(a) The definition of “Revolver Commitment” in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Revolver Commitment: for any Lender, its obligation to make Revolver Loans and to participate in LC Obligations up to the maximum principal amount shown on Schedule 1.1(a), or as hereafter determined pursuant to each Assignment and Acceptance to which it is a party. “Revolver Commitments” means the aggregate amount of such commitments of all Lenders. Following the Closing Date, the Revolver Commitments shall be automatically increased on the date of any repayment of any portion of the Term Loans to include the amount of such repayment; provided that (i) unless the aggregate Revolver Commitments have been increased pursuant to Section 2.1.7, the Revolver Commitments shall not exceed (A) during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier to occur of the second Business Day following Borrowers’ receipt of proceeds from the Disclosed Sale or April 30, 2008, $100,000,000, or (B) thereafter, $70,000,000, and (ii) in the event the Revolver Commitments have been increased pursuant to Section 2.1.7, the Revolver Commitments shall not exceed (A) during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier to occur of the second Business Day following Borrowers’ receipt of proceeds from the Disclosed Sale or April 30, 2008, $125,000,000, or (B) thereafter, $95,000,000.”


(b) The definition of “Term Loan Maturity Date” in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Term Loan Maturity Date: the earliest to occur of (a) April 30, 2008, (b) the date of consummation of the Disclosed Sale, or (c) the closing date of the Proposed IP Financing.”

(c) Section 2.1.7(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrowers may request an increase in the Revolver Commitments to an amount not more than (i) during the period from the Closing date through the earlier to occur of the second Business Day following Borrowers’ receipt of proceeds from the Disclosed Sale or April 30, 2008, $125,000,000, or (ii) thereafter, $95,000,000, in the aggregate. At the time of sending such notice, Borrowers (in consultation with Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than 10 Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Each Lender shall notify Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase such Commitment. Agent shall notify Borrowers and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of the requested increase, Agent may or Borrowers may, with the prior consent of Agent, invite additional lending institutions that constitute Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and its counsel.”

(d) Section 5.3.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“5.3.1 Payment of Principal. The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be repaid as follows: (i) a principal payment in the amount of $3,000,000 to be made on or before March 31, 2008, and (ii) principal payments on the first Business Day of each month in consecutive monthly installments of $513,889, commencing on February 1, 2008 and continuing until the Term Loan Maturity Date, on which date all principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to the Term Loans shall be due and payable in full. Each installment shall be paid to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Term Loan Lenders. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.”
