All other terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of New York, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the “UCC”).

2.	LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay Agent, for the ratable accounts of Lenders, when due pursuant to the terms hereof, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all loans, advances and other extensions of credit made severally by the Lenders to Borrower under this Agreement, together with interest on the unpaid principal amount of such loans, advances and other extensions of credit at the interest rates set forth herein.

2.2 Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans.

(i) Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, severally, but not jointly, agrees to make available to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (as defined below) during the period from the Closing Date (as defined below) until the Commitment Termination Date (as defined below) its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of advances (each such advance, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”); provided that immediately after each such Revolving Loan is made the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall not exceed the lesser of:

(1) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (as defined in Schedule A hereto) in effect at such time, and

(2) the Borrowing Base (as defined in Schedule C hereto) at such time,

in each case ((1) and (2) above), less Reserves (as defined in Schedule C hereto) imposed from time to time by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment. The Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans of any Lender shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s revolving loan commitment as identified on Schedule A hereto (such revolving loan commitment of each Lender as it may be amended to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Agreement or terminated or reduced in accordance with this Agreement, its “Revolving Loan Commitment”, and the aggregate of all such commitments, the “Revolving Loan Commitments”). Until the Commitment Termination Date, and subject to the conditions specified in this Section 2.2(a), Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.2(a). As used herein, “Commitment Termination Date” means the earliest of (a) April 1, 2011, (b) the date of termination of Lenders’ obligations to make Revolving Loans and to incur Letter of Credit Obligations or permit existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans to remain outstanding pursuant to Section 8.2, and (c) the date of indefeasible prepayment in full by Borrower of the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans and the cancellation and return (or stand-by guarantee) of all Letters of Credit or the cash collateralization of all Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to Schedule D, and the permanent reduction of the Commitments to zero dollars ($0).

(ii) Method of Borrowing. When Borrower desires a Revolving Loan, Borrower will notify Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) no later than (1) in the case of a Revolving Loan to be made as a Base Rate Loan (as defined below), 12:00 noon (New York time) on or before the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the day the Revolving Loan is to be made or (2) in the case of a Revolving Loan to be made as a LIBOR Loan (as defined below), 12:00 noon (New York time) on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the day the Revolving Loan is to be made. Each such notice (a “Notice of Revolving Loan Advance”) must be given in writing (by telecopy or overnight courier) substantially in the form of Exhibit A, and shall include the information required in Exhibit A and such other information as may be required

by Agent. Each Notice of Revolving Loan Advance must also include a duly executed and completed Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Borrowing Base Certificate”). Alternatively, Borrower may request a Revolving Loan using the MyAccount system pursuant to Section 10.15 and Schedule H hereto. Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of any Notice of Revolving Loan Advance believed by Agent to be from any authorized officer of Borrower. Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any Notice of Revolving Loan Advance.

(iii) Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receiving a Notice of Revolving Loan Advance, Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents of such notice and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Revolving Loan. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of the requested Revolving Loan, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, to the Collection Account (as defined below) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the specified date. Agent shall, unless it shall have determined that one of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, has not been satisfied, by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, credit the amounts received by it in like funds to Borrower by wire transfer to the following deposit account of Borrower (or such other deposit account as specified in writing by an authorized officer of Borrower and acceptable to Agent) (the “Designated Deposit Account”):

(iv) Notes. The Revolving Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and Borrower shall execute and deliver a Revolving Note to each Lender. Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay to such Lender the lesser of (a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Lender to or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement or (b) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, in each case together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.3(a).

(v) Letters of Credit. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in Schedule D, Borrower shall have the right to request, and Lenders agree to incur, Letter of Credit Obligations (as such term is defined in Schedule D) as a utilization of the Revolving Loan Commitments. As used herein, the term “Revolving Loans” shall include all Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding from time to time (other than with respect to the accrual of interest with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations).

(vi) Revolving Loans made on Closing Date. The Lenders, severally and not jointly, shall advance to the Borrower on the Closing Date their respective Pro Rata Shares of a Revolving Loan in the amount of $217,246.93, which Revolving Loan shall be advanced in the following manner: (a) the unpaid principal balance on the Closing Date of the “Revolving Loan” under (and as such term is defined in) the Original Loan Agreement in the amount of $217,246.93 shall be automatically converted into $217,246.93 of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans hereunder on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.10 and (b) Oxford shall automatically be deemed to have purchased from GECC on the Closing Date a portion of GECC’s “Revolving Loan” and “Revolving Loan Commitment” under (and as such terms are defined in) the Original Loan Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.11, such that on the Closing Date the Revolving Loan Commitments of each Lender are as set forth on Schedule A.

(b) Term Loans.

(i) Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 4.2(c) hereof with respect to the Subsequent Term Loan, as defined below), each Lender, severally, but not jointly, agrees to make term loans (each a “Term Loan” and collectively, the “Term Loans”; the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans each a “Loan” and, collectively, the “Loans”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until September 30, 2008 (the “Term Loan Commitment Termination Date”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s term loan commitment as identified on Schedule A hereto (such commitment of each Lender as it may be amended to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Agreement or terminated or reduced in accordance with this Agreement, its “Term Loan Commitment”, and the aggregate of all such commitments, the “Term Loan Commitments”; the Revolving Loan Commitments and the Term Loan Commitments, each a “Commitment” and, collectively, the “Commitments”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans made hereunder shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment Amount (as defined in Schedule A hereto). Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Term Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Term Loan. Once a Term Loan is repaid or prepaid, it cannot be reborrowed.

(ii) Term Loan Advances.

(A) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the initial Term Loan shall be made on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to $10,000,000 (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan shall be advanced on the Closing Date in the following manner: (a) the unpaid principal balance of the “Term Loan” under (and as such term is defined in) the Original Loan Agreement advanced to Borrower by GECC under the Original Loan Agreement in the amount of $7,500,000 as of the Closing Date shall be converted into $7,500,000 of the Initial Term Loan hereunder in accordance with Section 2.10, and (b) Oxford shall make an advance to Agent to be advanced as a Term Loan to the Borrower in the amount of $2,500,000. On the Closing Date, Oxford shall automatically be deemed to have purchased from GECC $2,500,000 of the “Initial Term Loan” under (and as such term is defined in) the Original Loan Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.11, such that on the Closing Date the Term Loan Commitments of each of Lender are as set forth on Schedule A.

(B) After the Initial Term Loan, Borrower may request on or before the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date no more than one (1) additional Term Loan, and such subsequent Term Loan must be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (such subsequent Term Loan, if any, the “Subsequent Term Loan”).

(iii) Method of Borrowing. When Borrower desires a Term Loan, Borrower will notify Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) in writing on the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the day the Term Loan is to be made (or such shorter period of time as Agent may agree). Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of such written or telephonic notice believed by Agent to be from any authorized officer of Borrower. Agent and Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any such written notice.

(iv) Funding of Term Loans. Promptly after receiving a request for a Term Loan, Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents of such request and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Term Loan. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Lender, severally and not jointly, shall make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share of the requested Term Loan, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, to the Collection Account prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the specified date. Agent shall, unless it shall have determined that one of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, has not been satisfied, by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day, credit the amounts received by it in like funds to Borrower by wire transfer to the Designated Deposit Account.

(v) Notes. The Term Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Term Note” and, collectively, the “Term Notes”; the Revolving Notes and the Term Notes each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”), and Borrower shall execute and deliver a Term Note to each Lender. Each Term Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to pay to such Lender the lesser of (a) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Term Loans made by such Lender to or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement or (b) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, in each case together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.3(a).

(c) Agent May Assume Funding. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any particular Revolving Loan or Term Loan that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to it on the date of such Revolving Loan or Term Loan in accordance with either Section 2.2(a)(iii) or 2.2(b)(iv), as applicable, and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount for the account of Borrower on such date. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until the day such amount is repaid to Agent, at (i) in the case of Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.3(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a floating rate per annum equal to, for each day from the day such amount is made available to Borrower until such amount is reimbursed to Agent, the weighted average of the rates on overnight federal funds transactions among members of the Federal Reserve System, as determined by Agent in its sole discretion (the “Federal Funds Rate”) for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loan or Term Loan. If such Lender shall repay such corresponding amount to Agent, the amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s loan included in such Revolving Loan or Term Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

2.3 Interest and Repayment.

(a) Interest.

(i) Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date of the applicable Revolving Loan until fully repaid. The outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall

bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) to the extent and so long as any Revolving Loan bears interest based on the Base Rate (as defined below) (such Revolving Loan, a “Base Rate Loan”), the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus 1.25%, or (2) to the extent and so long as any Revolving Loan bears interest based on LIBOR (as defined below) (such Revolving Loan, a “LIBOR Loan”), LIBOR plus 4.00% (such percentage added to LIBOR, the “Applicable Revolving Margin”). Subject to the provisions hereof, all or any portion of the Revolving Loans, at the option of the Borrower exercised by delivering written notice to the Agent, may be made as or converted into a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan; provided that the Borrower shall no longer have the option to have the Revolving Loans bear interest based on LIBOR, and any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan at the conclusion of the applicable one month LIBOR period, if a Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion to suspend Borrower’s LIBOR option. If at the end of any calendar month the Borrower has not delivered written notice to Agent to convert any Revolving Loan as described in the immediately preceding sentence, such Revolving Loan shall be continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan or Base Rate Loan, as applicable, subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

As used herein, “Base Rate” means, for any day, a floating rate equal to the rate designated from time to time by Citibank, N.A. as its “Prime Rate” (or, if Citibank, N.A. ceases designating a “Prime Rate,” Agent shall select a comparable published prime rate of interest in lieu thereof).

As used herein, “LIBOR” means, for each day during a calendar month, a rate of interest determined by Agent equal to:

(A) the offered rate for deposits in United States Dollars for a term of one (1) calendar month that appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time), on the third full Business Day on which banks in the City of London, England are generally open for interbank or foreign exchange transactions (such Business Day a “LIBOR Business Day”) immediately prior to the first day of such calendar month (unless such date is not a Business Day, in which event the next succeeding Business Day will be used); divided by

(B) a number equal to 1.0 minus the aggregate (but without duplication) of the rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve requirements in effect on the day that is three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to the beginning of such calendar month (including basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or other applicable governmental authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto, as now and from time to time in effect) for Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board) that are required to be maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System.

If such LIBOR interest rates shall cease to be available from Reuters, LIBOR shall be determined from such financial reporting service or other information as Agent shall reasonably select. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LIBOR for the initial monthly period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be determined as of the date that is not later than the third Business Day preceding the Closing Date based upon a one month LIBOR period commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date.

(ii) Term Loans. The Initial Term Loan shall accrue interest in arrears from the Closing Date until the Term Loan is fully repaid at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to 10.65%. The Subsequent Term Loan shall accrue interest in arrears from the Closing Date until the Term Loan is fully repaid at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the Treasury Rate (as defined below) in effect on the day that is three (3) Business Days prior to the making of such Term Loan as determined by Agent and (B) 2.71% plus (ii) 7.94%. As used herein, the term “Treasury Rate” means a per annum rate of interest equal to the rate published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 entitled “Selected Interest Rates” under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” as the three year treasuries constant maturities rate. In the event Release H.15 is no longer published, Agent shall select a comparable publication to determine the U.S. Treasury note yield to maturity.

(iii) All Loans. With respect to all Loans and Obligations hereunder, all computations of interest and fees calculated on a per annum basis shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by Agent and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Payments of Principal and Interest.

(i) Revolving Loans. For the Revolving Loans, Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, at the rate of interest determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a) in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (each such date, a “Scheduled Payment Date”). The entire unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) Term Loans. For each Term Loan, Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, (i) consecutive payments of interest only (payable in arrears) at the rate of interest determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a) on each Scheduled Payment Date commencing on May 1, 2008 and ending on January 1, 2009, and (ii) twenty-seven (27) equal consecutive payments of principal and interest (payable in arrears) at the rate of interest determined in accordance with Section 2.3(a) on each Scheduled Payment Date commencing on February 1, 2009. The amount of each such payment of principal and interest with respect to any Term Loan shall be calculated by the Agent and shall be sufficient to fully amortize the principal and interest due with respect to such Term Loan over such repayment period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid principal and accrued interest with respect to any Term Loan is due and payable in full to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, on the earlier (A) the Commitment Termination Date, or (B) the date that such Term Loan otherwise becomes due and payable hereunder, whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2, the voluntary termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.4(a) or otherwise (the earlier of (A) or (B), the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). Without limiting the foregoing, all Obligations shall be due and payable on the Commitment Termination Date.

(c) Payments. Each payment of interest only or interest and principal that is scheduled to be paid hereunder on a Scheduled Payment Date with respect to the Revolving Loans or any Term Loan is referred to herein as a “Scheduled Payment.” All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Loan Party under any Debt Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, without setoff or counterclaim to the Collection Account before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date when due. All payments received by Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or at any time on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day (subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of Schedule F). Whenever any payment required under this Agreement would otherwise be due on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension. The payment of any Scheduled Payment prior to its due date shall be deemed to have been received on such due date for purposes of calculating interest hereunder. All Scheduled Payments due to Agent and Lenders under Section 2.3(b) shall be effected by automatic debit of the appropriate funds from Borrower’s operating account specified on the EPS Setup Form (as defined below). As used herein, the term “Collection Account” means the following account of Agent (or such other account as Agent shall identify to Borrower in writing):

(d) Withholdings and Increased Costs. All payments shall be made free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges (other than taxes on the overall net income of any Lender and comparable taxes), such that Agent and Lenders will receive the entire amount of any Obligations (as defined below), regardless of source of payment. If Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the introduction of or any change in, after the date hereof, any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order reduces the rate of return on Agent or such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or increases the cost to Agent or such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Revolving Loan or the Term Loan, then Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by Agent or such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) promptly pay to Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction or for such increased cost. A certificate showing computations of the amount of such reduction or such increased cost submitted by Agent or such Lender (with a copy to Agent) to Borrower shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error, provided that, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to payment of any amounts under this Section 2.3(d) unless it has delivered such certificate to Borrower within 180 days after the occurrence of the changes or events giving rise to the increased costs to, or reduction in the amounts received by, Agent or such Lender. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and requirements of law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States as to which payments to be made under this Agreement or under the Notes are exempt from United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Borrower and Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W 8ECI or Form W 8BEN or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States.

(e) Loan Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender resulting from such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Revolving Loan and Term Loan, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Agent shall

maintain in accordance with its usual practice a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record the Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and the Term Loans and any other extensions of credit made by Lenders hereunder, and all payments thereon made by Borrower. The entries made in the Lenders’ accounts and the Loan Account shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or Agent to maintain any such account or the Loan Account shall affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. The Agent shall render to the Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Obligations setting forth the balance of the Loan Account. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent in writing of any objection to any such monthly accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection) within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such monthly accounting shall be presumptively correct and binding upon the Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein, absent manifest error.

(f) Application of Payments and Proceeds of Collateral. Each Scheduled Payment with respect to a Term Loan, when paid, shall be applied first to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the applicable Term Loan and then to unpaid principal balance of such Term Loan. Each Scheduled Payment of interest with respect to a Revolving Loan, when paid, shall be applied to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans. So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, payments consisting of proceeds of Accounts (as such term is defined in Schedule C) received in the ordinary course of business shall be applied to the Revolving Loans. All payments and prepayments applied to a particular Loan in accordance with this Agreement shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. As to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right (in accordance with Section 8.4) to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records.

(g) Payment of Expenses. Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Revolving Loan balance on behalf of Borrower and cause to be paid all fees, expenses, costs and interest owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents if and to the extent Borrower fails to promptly pay any such amounts as and when due, even if the amount of such charges would exceed borrowing availability under the Revolving Loan facility set forth in Section 2.2(a) at such time or would cause the balance of the Revolving Loans to Borrower to exceed the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such charges or would cause the aggregate balance of all Revolving Loans to exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. At Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Loans.

2.4 Prepayments.

(a) Revolving Loan.

(i) Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower may terminate (but not reduce) the Revolving Loan Commitments at any time following the first anniversary of this Agreement upon at least 10 days prior written notice to the Agent; provided that upon such termination all Revolving Loans and all Term Loans and other Obligations hereunder shall be immediately

due and payable in full and all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be cash collateralized or otherwise satisfied in accordance with Schedule D. Upon the date of (a) any voluntary termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (b) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans required under this Agreement (whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, a prepayment premium (as yield maintenance for the loss of a bargain and not as a penalty) equal to (1) if the date of the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments occurs on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, 2% of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, or (2) if the date of the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments occurs after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the Commitment Termination Date, 1% of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. Upon any such prepayment and termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Borrower's right to request Revolving Loans or request that Letter of Credit Obligations be incurred on its behalf shall simultaneously be terminated.

(ii) Mandatory Prepayment. If at any time the outstanding balances of the Revolving Loans exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and (B) the Borrowing Base (less, in each of case (A) and (B), Reserves at such time), Borrower shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Schedule D to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(b) Term Loans. Borrower can voluntarily prepay, upon ten days prior written notice to Agent, any Term Loan after March 31, 2009 in full, but not in part. Upon the date of (a) any voluntary prepayment of a Term Loan in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or (b) any mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan required under this Agreement (whether by acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2, mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Facility under Section 2.4(a) or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitments, a sum equal to (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest with respect to such Term Loan, (ii) the Final Payment Fee (as such term is defined in Section 2.7(d)) for such Term Loan, and (iii) a prepayment premium (as yield maintenance for the loss of a bargain and not as a penalty) equal to: (1) 2% on such prepayment amount, if such prepayment is made on or before the two year anniversary of such Term Loan, and (2) 1 % on such prepayment amount, if such prepayment is made after the two year anniversary of such Term Loan but before the Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the consummation of any acquisition of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets or stock to which the Agent and the Requisite Lenders do not consent that occurs prior to March 31, 2009, the Borrower may prepay any Term Loan, provided that Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitments, a sum equal to (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued interest with respect to such Term Loan, (ii) the Final Payment Fee (as such term is defined in Section 2.7(d)) for such Term Loan, and (iii) a prepayment premium (as yield maintenance for the loss of a bargain and not as a penalty) equal to 8% on such prepayment amount.

2.5 Late Fees. If Agent does not receive any Scheduled Payment or other payment under any Debt Document (other than a Scheduled Payment of interest with respect to the Revolving Loans) from any Loan Party within 3 Business Days after its due date, then, at Agent’s election, such Loan Party agrees to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of all Lenders, a late fee equal to (a) 5% of the amount of such unpaid payment or (b) such lesser amount that, if paid, would not cause the interest and fees paid by such Loan Party under this Agreement to exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate (as defined below) (the “Late Fee”).

2.6 Default Rate. All Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest, at the option of Agent or upon the request of the Requisite Lenders (as defined below), from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to the lesser of (a) 5% above the rate of interest applicable to such Obligations as set forth in Section 2.3(a) immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default and (b) the Maximum Lawful Rate (the “Default Rate”). The application of the Default Rate shall not be interpreted or deemed to extend any cure period or waive any Default or Event of Default or otherwise limit the Agent’s or any Lender’s right or remedies hereunder. All interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

2.7 Lender Fees.

(a) Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable closing fee in an amount equal to $60,000, which fee shall be fully earned when paid, and disbursed to Lenders as follows: $37,500 shall be paid to Oxford and $22,500 shall be paid to GECC.

(b) Revolving Loan Unused Line Fee. On each Scheduled Payment Date prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments, in arrears, a fee for Borrower’s non-use of available funds in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for actual days elapsed) multiplied by the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balances of the Revolving Loans (including Letter of Credit Obligations) outstanding during the period for which such fee is due.

(c) Final Payment Fee. Upon the repayment in full of all outstanding principal amounts with respect to any Term Loan (whether voluntarily, scheduled or mandatory or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the accounts of Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitments, a fee equal to 1% of the original principal amount of such Term Loan (the “Final Payment Fee”).

(d) Annual Management Fee. On March 31, 2009 and on each anniversary thereof, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its own account, in advance, a non-refundable annual management fee in an amount equal to $25,000, which fee shall be fully earned when paid.

2.8 Maximum Lawful Rate. Anything herein, any Note or any other Debt Document (as defined below) to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder and thereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by Agent and Lenders would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to Agent and Lenders limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders, and in such event Loan Parties shall pay Agent and Lenders interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder is less than the Maximum

Lawful Rate, Loan Parties shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent and Lenders is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Note or any other Debt Document.

2.9 Authorization and Issuance of the Warrants. In addition to that certain Warrant to Acquire 154,545 Shares of Series E Preferred Stock, dated as of March 31, 2008, issued by Borrower to GECC in connection with the Original Loan Agreement (the “Original Warrant”), Borrower has duly authorized the issuance to Lenders (or their respective affiliates or designees) of additional stock purchase warrants substantially in the form of the warrant attached hereto as Exhibit H (collectively, the “New Warrants,” and together with the Original Warrant, the “Warrants”) evidencing Lenders’ (or their respective affiliates or designees) right to acquire shares of Series E Preferred Stock of Borrower at an exercise price of $1.65 per share as follows: (a) Oxford’s New Warrant shall be for 166,667 shares and (b) GECC’s New Warrant shall be for 42,425 shares. The exercise period shall expire ten (10) years from the date such New Warrants are issued.

2.10 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Original Loan Agreement effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are not intended by the parties to be, and shall not constitute, a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Obligations or any other obligations owing to the Lender under the Original Loan Agreement or the other agreements and documents executed in connection therewith. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder are not intended by the parties to be, and shall not constitute, a termination or release of any prior security interests granted to Agent under Section 3.1 of the Original Loan Agreement, but is intended to constitute a restatement and reconfirmation of the prior security interests granted under Section 3.1 of the Original Loan Agreement in favor of Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders hereunder) in and to the Collateral. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities and the terms and conditions thereof described in the Original Loan Agreement shall be amended and replaced by the credit facilities and the terms and conditions thereof described in this Agreement, and all Loans and other Obligations of Borrower outstanding as of the Closing Date under the Original Loan Agreement shall be deemed automatically to be Loans and Obligations of the Borrower outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein (such that all “Revolving Loans” as defined in and outstanding under the Original Loan Agreement on the Closing Date shall become Revolving Loans under this Agreement, and the “Term Loan” as defined in the Original Loan Agreement outstanding on the Closing Date shall be converted into a portion of the Initial Term Loan under this Agreement); provided, however, that interest accruing on the Revolving Loan prior to the Closing Date shall be calculated at the rate of interest specified in the Original Loan Agreement, and interest accruing on the Revolving Loan on and after the Closing Date shall be calculated at the rate of interest specified in Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement amends, restates and replaces the Original Loan Agreement in its entirety.

2.11 Assignment of Portions of Term Loan Commitment. In accordance with that certain Assignment Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between GECC and Oxford (the “Assignment Agreement”), GECC has transferred and assigned to Oxford (a) a portion of GECC’s “Revolving Loan” and “Revolving Loan Commitment” under (and as such terms are defined in) the Original Loan Agreement, and (b) $2,500,000 of GECC’s Term Loan and Term Loan Commitment under (and as such terms are defined in) the Original Loan Agreement.

3.	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

3.1 Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt payment and performance, whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Loans and other debt, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever of Borrower to Agent and Lenders under the Debt Documents (whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, prepayment premiums, indemnities, reimbursements or other sums, and whether or not such amounts accrue after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or after the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not allowed in such case or proceeding), absolute or contingent, now existing or arising in the future, including but not limited to the payment and performance of any outstanding Notes, and any renewals, extensions and modifications of such Loans (such indebtedness under the Notes, Loans and other debt, obligations and liabilities in connection with the Debt Documents are collectively called the “Obligations”), and as security for the prompt payment and performance by each Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations as defined in the Guaranty (as defined below), each Loan Party does hereby grant to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a security interest in the property listed below (all hereinafter collectively called the “Collateral”):

All of such Loan Party’s personal property of every kind and nature (except for Intellectual Property, as defined in, and to the extent excluded pursuant to, Section 3.3) whether now owned or hereafter acquired by, or arising in favor of, such Loan Party, and regardless of where located, including, without limitation, all Accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, financial assets, fixtures, goods, instruments, investment property (including, without limitation, all securities accounts), inventory, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, securities, supporting obligations, cash, cash equivalents, any other contract rights (including, without limitation, rights under any license agreements), or rights to the payment of money, and general intangibles, and all books and records of such Loan Party relating thereto, and in and against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to such property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefor, all proceeds, insurance claims, products, profits and other rights to payments not otherwise included in the foregoing (with each of the foregoing terms that are defined in the UCC having the meaning set forth in the UCC).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the grant of security interest herein shall not extend to and the term “Collateral” shall not include: (i) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is incorporated or organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or territory thereof and (ii) any license, contract or right to the extent and only to the extent that the granting of such security interest is expressly prohibited by any applicable statute, law or regulation, or would constitute a default under the applicable license, contract or right, as applicable, as in effect on the date hereof, but only to the extent that such prohibition or default is enforceable under applicable law (including without limitation Sections 9-406, 9-407 and 9-408 of the UCC); provided that upon the termination or expiration of any such prohibition, such license, contract or right, as applicable, shall automatically be subject to the security interest granted in favor of the Agent hereunder and become part of the "Collateral.”

Each Loan Party hereby represents and covenants that such security interest constitutes a valid, first priority security interest in the presently existing Collateral, and will constitute a valid, first priority security interest in Collateral acquired after the date hereof (subject only to Permitted Liens). Each Loan Party hereby covenants that it shall give written notice to Agent promptly upon the acquisition by such Loan Party or creation in favor of such Loan Party of any commercial tort claim after the Closing Date.

3.2 Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file UCC financing statements with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Agent’s security interest (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) granted hereby.

3.3 Grant of Security Interest in Proceeds of Intellectual Property. The Collateral shall not include any intellectual property of any Loan Party, which shall be defined as any and all copyright, trademark, servicemark, patent, design right, software, trade secret and intangible rights of a Loan Party and any applications, registrations, claims, products, awards, judgments, amendments, renewals, extensions, improvements and insurance claims related thereto (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) now owned or hereafter acquired, or any claims for damages by way of any past, present or future infringement of any of the foregoing; provided however, that the Collateral shall include all cash, royalty fees, other proceeds, Accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights of payment to or on behalf of a Loan Party or proceeds from the sale, licensing or other disposition of all or any part of, or rights in, the Intellectual Property by or on behalf of a Loan Party (“Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent it is necessary under applicable law in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving a Loan Party for Agent (on behalf of itself and Lenders) to have a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property in order for Agent to have (i) a security interest in the Rights to Payment and (ii) a security interest in any payments with respect to Rights to Payment that are received after the commencement of such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit attachment and perfection of Agent’s security interest (on behalf of itself and Lenders) in the Rights to Payment and any payments in respect thereof that are received after the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. Agent hereby agrees on behalf of itself and the Lenders that, if Agent obtains a security interest in the Intellectual Property pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Agent will not exercise any remedies (under the UCC or otherwise) with respect to the Intellectual Property (other than remedies with respect to Rights to Payment or any other proceeds of the Intellectual Property).

3.4 Termination of Security Interest. Subject to Section 10.9, Agent’s lien on the Collateral (on behalf of itself and Lenders) shall continue until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly repaid in full in cash, all of the Commitments hereunder are terminated, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been cash collateralized, cancelled or backed by standby letters of credit in accordance with Schedule D and this Agreement shall have been terminated (the “Termination Date”). Upon the Termination Date, Agent shall, at Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense and without any recourse, representation or warranty, release its liens in the Collateral, and all rights remaining therein, if any, shall revert to Loan Parties.

greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of such Loan Party; (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Loan Party is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Loan Party on its debts as they become absolute and matured; (c) such Loan Party does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond such Loan Party’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; (d) such Loan Party is not engaged in a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or transaction, for which such Loan Party’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital; and (e) is not “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(32) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et. seq), as amended from time to time. The amount of contingent liabilities (such as litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that can be reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

5.11 Taxes; Pension. All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any governmental authority to be filed by each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have been filed with the appropriate governmental authority and all taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid), excluding taxes, levies, assessments and similar charges or other amounts which are the subject of a Permitted Contest. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Loan Party from its respective employees for all periods in compliance with applicable laws and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective governmental authorities. Each Loan Party has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and no Loan Party has withdrawn from participation in, or has permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of a Loan Party, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental authority.

5.12 Full Disclosure. Loan Parties hereby confirm that all of the information disclosed on the Perfection Certificate (as updated from time to time with the consent and approval of Agent) is true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement. No representation, warranty or other statement made by or on behalf of a Loan Party contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which such statement was made, it being recognized by Agent and Lenders that the projections and forecasts provided by Loan Parties in good faith and based upon reasonable and stated assumptions are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results.

5.13 Accounts. Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts are Qualified Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Borrower with respect to any Account or Accounts. Unless otherwise indicated in writing to Agent, with respect to each Qualified Account, Borrower represents that:

(a) the Account satisfies all criteria for inclusion as a Qualified Account;

(b) the Account is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and is not evidenced by a judgment;

(c) the Account arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts, certification, participation, permit, or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between Borrower and the account debtor with respect thereto;

(d) the Account is for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in a duplicate claim or invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Agent;

(e) the Account, and Agent’s security interest in such Account, is not, and will not (by voluntary act or omission by Borrower), be in the future, subject to any offset, lien, deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim, recoupment or any other adverse condition, and each such Account is absolutely owing to Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason;

(f) there are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way impair the validity or enforceability of any Accounts or tend to reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the claim or invoice and statements delivered to Agent with respect thereto;

(g) to Borrower’s knowledge, (i) the account debtor under the Account had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was executed, and (ii) such account debtor is solvent;

(h) to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or actions which are pending or threatened against any account debtor under the Account which might result in any material adverse change in such account debtor’s financial condition or the collectibility of such Account;

(i) the Account has been billed and forwarded to the applicable account debtor for payment in accordance with applicable laws and compliance and conformance with any and all requisite procedures, requirements and regulations governing payment by such account debtor with respect to such Account;

(j) Agent has a perfected, first-priority security interest in such Accounts to secure the Obligations;

(k) Borrower has not made, and will not make, any agreement with any account debtor for any extension of the time for payment of the Account, any compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any release of any account debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except a discount or allowance for prompt or early payment allowed by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business consistent with its historical practices and as previously disclosed to Agent in writing; and

(l) Borrower has obtained all licenses, permits and authorizations that are necessary in the generation of such Accounts.

6.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

6.1 Good Standing. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 7.3 or 7.5, each Loan Party shall maintain its and each of its Subsidiaries’ existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and maintain qualification in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, in full force all licenses, approvals and agreements, the loss of which could

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. “Subsidiary” means, with respect to a Loan Party, any entity the management of which is, directly or indirectly controlled by, or of which an aggregate of more than 50% of the outstanding voting capital stock (or other voting equity interest) is, at the time, owned or controlled, directly or indirectly by, such Loan Party or one or more Subsidiaries of such Loan Party, and, unless the contest otherwise requires each reference to a Subsidiary herein shall be a reference to a Subsidiary of Borrower.

6.2 Notice to Agent. Loan Parties shall provide Agent with (a) notice of any change in the accuracy of the Perfection Certificate or any of the representations and warranties provided in Section 5 above, immediately upon the occurrence of any such change, (b) notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, promptly (but in any event within 3 days) after the date on which any officer of a Loan Party obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any such event, (c) copies of all statements, reports and notices made available generally by Borrower to its security holders or to any holders of Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below), all notices sent to Borrower by the holders of such Subordinated Indebtedness, and all documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any securities exchange or governmental authority exercising a similar function, promptly, but in any event within 3 days of delivering or receiving such information to or from such persons, (d) a report of any legal actions pending or threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary that could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $100,000 or more promptly, but in any event within 3 days, upon receipt of notice thereof, (e) at the time of the delivery of the monthly financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(a) below, for the prior month period, a written summary of all new applications and registrations that Borrower has made or filed in respect of any Intellectual Property or a change in status of any outstanding application or registration, and upon Agent’s request, copies of the actual applications or registrations, and (f) at the time of the delivery of the monthly financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(a) below, for the prior month period, written notice with a summary of the content of any statements, reports and notices delivered to or by a Loan Party in connection with any Material Agreement, and upon Agent’s request, copies of the actual statements, reports or notices; provided that, during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall provide the information set forth in subsection (e) and (f) hereof at such times as requested by Agent.

6.3 Financial Statements and Collateral Reports.

(a) Financial Statements. If Borrower is a private company, it shall deliver to Agent and Lenders (a) unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 35 days of each month end, in a form reasonably acceptable to Agent and certified by Borrower’s president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer, and (b) its complete annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP and certified by an independent certified public accountant selected by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to Agent within 120 days of the fiscal year end or, if sooner, at such time as Borrower’s Board of Directors receives the certified audit. If Borrower is a publicly held company, it shall deliver to Agent and Lenders quarterly unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements and annual audited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 5 days after the statements are required to be provided to the SEC, and if Agent requests, Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders monthly unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days after the end of each month. All such statements are to be prepared using GAAP (subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and normal year end audit adjustments) and, if Borrower is a publicly held company, are to be in compliance with applicable SEC requirements. All financial statements delivered pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be accompanied by a compliance certificate, signed by the chief financial officer of Borrower, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, and a management discussion and analysis in the form of Borrower’s

existing board report previously furnished to the Agent. Borrower shall deliver to Agent and Lenders (i) as soon as available and in any event not later than 35 days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower, an annual operating plan for Borrower, on a consolidated basis, approved by the Board of Directors of Borrower, for the current fiscal year, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (ii) such budgets, sales projections, or other financial information as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request from time to time and generally prepared by Borrower in the ordinary course of business.

(b) Collateral Reports. Borrower shall deliver to Agent and each Lender the Collateral Reports (including Borrowing Base Certificates) at the times and in the manner set forth in Schedule E hereto.

6.4 Insurance. Borrower, at its expense, shall maintain, and shall cause each Subsidiary to maintain, insurance (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, and business interruption insurance) with respect to all of its properties and businesses (including, the Collateral), in such amounts and covering such risks as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and in any event with deductible amounts, insurers and policies that shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrower shall deliver to Agent certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage, together with endorsements to such policies naming Agent as a lender loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Each policy shall provide that coverage may not be canceled or altered by the insurer except upon 30 days prior written notice to Agent and shall not be subject to co-insurance . Borrower appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact to make, settle and adjust all claims under and decisions with respect to Borrower’s policies of insurance, and to receive payment of and execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with insurance payments; provided, however, that Agent shall not act as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The appointment of Agent as Borrower’s attorney in fact is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. Proceeds of insurance shall be applied, at the option of Agent, to repair or replace the Collateral or to reduce any of the Obligations if (a) such proceeds are received at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such proceeds are received but such proceeds exceed in the aggregate $250,000 in any calendar year.

6.5 Taxes. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, timely file all tax reports and pay and discharge all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it, or its income or profits or upon its properties or any part thereof, before the same shall be in default and before the date on which penalties attach thereto, except to the extent such taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies are the subject of a Permitted Contest.

6.6 Agreement with Landlord/Bailee. Unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in writing, each Loan Party shall obtain and maintain such Access Agreement(s) with respect to any real property on which (a) a Loan Party’s principal place of business, including, without limitation, any new location for the Borrower’s chief executive office, (b) a Loan Party’s books or records or (c) Collateral with an aggregate value in excess of $100,000, is located (other than real property owned by such Loan Party) as Agent may require. Upon Agent’s reasonable request, the Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent that rental payments with respect to any real property described in the immediately preceding sentence were made and a certification that no default or event of default exists under any such lease.

6.7 Protection of Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party shall take all necessary actions to: (a) protect, defend and maintain the validity and enforceability of its Intellectual Property to the extent material to the conduct of its business now or heretofore conducted by it or proposed to be conducted by it, (b) promptly advise Agent in writing of material infringements of its Intellectual Property and, should the Intellectual Property be material to such Loan Party’s business, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, (c) not allow any Intellectual Property material to such Loan Party’s business to be abandoned, forfeited or dedicated to the public without Agent’s written consent, and (d) notify Agent promptly, but in any event within 3 days, if it knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) material to its business may become abandoned or dedicated, or if any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Loan Party’s ownership of any Intellectual Property material to its business, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same. Each Loan Party shall remain liable under each of its Intellectual Property licenses pursuant to which it is a licensee (“Licenses”) to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. None of Agent or any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any such License by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, the granting of a lien, if any, in such License or the receipt by Agent (on behalf of itself and Lenders) of any payment relating to any such License. None of Agent or any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Loan Party under or pursuant to any License, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any License, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.8 Special Collateral Covenants.

(a) Each Loan Party shall remain in possession of its respective Collateral solely at the location(s) specified on the Perfection Certificate; except that Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, shall have the right to possess (i) any chattel paper or instrument that constitutes a part of the Collateral, (ii) any other Collateral in which Agent’s security interest (on behalf of itself and Lenders) may be perfected only by possession and (iii) any Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with this Agreement and the other Debt Documents. Agent may inspect (and representatives of any Lender may accompany Agent on any such inspection) any of the Collateral during normal business hours, and in the absence of a Default or an Event of Default, after giving Borrower reasonable prior notice. If Agent asks, each Loan Party will promptly notify Agent in writing of the location of any Collateral.

(b) Each Loan Party shall (i) use the Collateral only in its trade or business, (ii) maintain all of the Collateral in good operating order and repair, normal wear and tear excepted, and (iii) use and maintain the Collateral only in material compliance with manufacturers’ recommendations and all applicable laws.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower and the Guarantors may hold tangible Collateral outside of the continental United States, so long as the value of such Collateral, when

added to (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any intercompany loans made by Borrower to the Foreign Subsidiaries (as such term is defined below) during the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.7(c)(v) and (y) the aggregate amount of any Investments by Borrower in the Foreign Subsidiaries during the term of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.7(c)(viii), shall not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate.

(d) Each Loan Party shall pay promptly when due all taxes, license fees, assessments and public and private charges levied or assessed on any of the Collateral, on its use, or on this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. At its option, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default Agent may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance, insurance and preservation of the Collateral and effect compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. Each Loan Party agrees to reimburse Agent, on demand, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such payment or performance and agrees that such reimbursement obligation shall constitute Obligations.

(e) Each Loan Party shall, at all times, keep accurate and complete records of the Collateral, and Agent shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all of Loan Parties’ books and records relating to the Collateral during normal business hours, and in the absence of a Default or an Event of Default, after giving the applicable Loan Parties reasonable prior notice.

(f) Each Loan Party agrees and acknowledges that any third person who may at any time possess all or any portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to hold, and shall hold, the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Agent (on behalf of itself and Lenders). Agent may at any time give notice to any third person described in the preceding sentence that such third person is holding the Collateral as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Agent (on behalf of itself and Lenders).

(g) Each Loan Party shall, during normal business hours, from time to time upon one Business Day’s prior notice as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate: (a) provide Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to the properties, facilities, advisors and employees (including officers) of each Loan Party and to the Collateral, (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Loan Party’s books and records, and (c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees and agents, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the Accounts and other Collateral of any Loan Party. If a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if access is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral as reasonably determined by Agent, each such Loan Party shall provide such access to Agent and to each Lender at all times and without advance notice. Each Loan Party shall make available to Agent and its auditors or counsel, as quickly as is possible under the circumstances, originals or copies of all books and records that Agent may reasonably request.

6.9 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party shall, upon request of Agent, furnish to Agent such further information, execute and deliver to Agent such documents and instruments (including, without limitation, UCC financing statements) and shall do such other acts and things as Agent may at any time reasonably request relating to the perfection or protection of the security interest created by this Agreement or for the purpose of carrying out the intent of this Agreement and the other Debt Documents.

With regard to the projections delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such projections shall be based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable and fair in light of current conditions and current facts known to the Borrower, it being recognized that such financial information as it relates to future events are not to be viewed as facts or factual information and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from projected results.

8.2 Lender Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Agent may, and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders shall, without notice, suspend either or both of the Revolving Loan facility with respect to additional Revolving Loans or the Term Loan facility with respect to additional Term Loans, whereupon any additional Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made or incurred in Agent’s sole discretion (or in the sole discretion of the Requisite Lenders, if such suspension occurred at their direction). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders shall, (1) terminate the Commitments, (2) declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and (3) and require that the Letter of Credit Obligations be cash collateralized in the manner set forth in Schedule D, without demand or notice to any Loan Party and the accelerated Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate pursuant to Section 2.6, provided that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 8.1(g) above, the Commitments shall be automatically terminated and the Obligations shall be automatically accelerated. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have (on behalf of itself and Lenders) all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and under any other applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent shall have the right to, and at the written request of the Required Lenders shall, (a) notify any account debtor with respect to any Account or any obligor on any instrument which constitutes part of the Collateral to make payments to Agent (for the benefit of itself and Lenders), (b) with or without legal process, enter any premises where the Collateral may be and take possession of and remove the Collateral from the premises or store it on the premises, (c) sell the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in part, and have the right to bid and purchase at such sale, or (d) lease or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Collateral, applying proceeds from such disposition to the Obligations in accordance with Section 8.4.

Agent may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at a Loan Party’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs. Any notice that Agent is required to give to a Loan Party under the UCC of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given in accordance with this Agreement at least 10 days prior to such action. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s designated officers or employees) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney to: (i) take any of the actions specified above in this paragraph; (ii) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security that may come into Agent’s possession; (iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Agent determines to be reasonable; and (iv) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Loan Party that Agent may deem necessary or desirable to

enforce its rights in or to any of the Collateral or to perfect or better perfect Agent’s security interest (on behalf of itself and Lenders) in any of the Collateral. The appointment of Agent as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Termination Date.

8.3 Additional Remedies.

9.	THE AGENT.

9.1 Appointment of Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints GECC (together with any successor Agent pursuant to Section 9.9) as Agent under the Debt Documents and authorizes the Agent to (a) execute and deliver the Debt Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from Loan Parties, (b) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent under such Debt Documents and (c) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 9 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and none of Loan Parties nor any other person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents, Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other person. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Debt Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Debt Document or otherwise a fiduciary or trustee relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Debt Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by GECC or any of its affiliates in any capacity.

(b) Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Debt Documents (including in any other bankruptcy, insolvency or

similar proceeding), and each person making any payment in connection with any Debt Document to any Lender is hereby authorized to make such payment to Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of Agent and Lenders with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Lender), (iii) act as collateral agent for Agent and each Lender for purposes of the perfection of all liens created by the Debt Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, other than any release of a security interest in the Collateral requiring the consent of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders under Sections 10.8(b) or 10.8(c) (provided that Agent may so release such security interest if such consent is obtained), (v) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the liens created or purported to be created by the Debt Documents, (vi) except as may be otherwise specified in any Debt Document, exercise all remedies given to Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether under the Debt Documents, applicable law or otherwise and (vii) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Debt Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Debt Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other person (including any Lender). Any such person shall benefit from this Article 9 to the extent provided by Agent.

(c) If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Debt Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Debt Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or any Debt Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to any potential liability under any law, statute or regulation or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Debt Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

9.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or representatives shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Debt Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until such Note has been assigned in accordance with Section 10.1; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, whether or not selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, (d) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Debt Documents; (e) shall not

have any duty to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) or to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Debt Document, whether any condition set forth in any Debt Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Loan Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from Borrower or any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default”; (f) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Debt Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Debt Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties.

9.3 GECC and Affiliates. GECC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include GECC in its individual capacity. GECC and its affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries, any of their Affiliates and any person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower, any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or any such Affiliate, all as if GECC were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. GECC and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between GECC as a Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Loans and GECC as Agent, and expressly consents to, and waives, any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 6.3 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives, any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

9.5 Indemnification. Lenders shall and do hereby indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Debt Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Debt Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Loan Parties. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.6 Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within 30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Debt Documents.

9.7 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 9.8(e), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time upon the direction of Agent, without notice to Borrower or any other person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Obligations. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest. The term “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to any Lender at any time, (1) with respect to the Revolving Loans, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender then in effect (or, if such Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving

Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to such Lender) by (y) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to all Lenders), (2) with respect to the Term Loans, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender then in effect (or, if such Term Loan Commitment is terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to such Lender) by (y) the Total Term Loan Commitment Amount then in effect (or, if the Total Term Loan Commitment is terminated, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to all Lenders), and (3) with respect to all Loans, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Commitment of such Lender then in effect (or, if such Commitment is terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans owing to such Lender) by (y) the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders then in effect (or, if the Commitments of the Lenders are terminated, the outstanding principal amount of Loans owing to all Lenders).

9.8 Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a) Advances; Payments.

(i) Term Loans. If Agent receives any payment with respect to a Term Loan for the account of Lenders on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment with respect to a Term Loan for the account of Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day. To the extent that any Lender has failed to fund any such payments and Loans (a “Non-Funding Lender”), Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower.

(ii) Revolving Loans. On the 2^nd Business Day of each calendar week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Revolving Lender by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of Revolving Lenders with respect to each applicable Revolving Loan. Agent shall pay to each Revolving Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender) such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Revolving Lender on the Revolving Loans held by it. To the extent that any Non-Funding Lender has failed to fund any such payments and Revolving Loans, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from Borrower with respect to the Revolving Loans.

(b) Return of Payments.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount (including interest accruing on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Obligation) from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Debt Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to a Loan Party or such other person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Loan, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lender” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Debt Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such person, all of the Commitments and all of the outstanding Loans of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement (as defined below).

(d) Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to Borrower, with notice of any Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any Event of Default; provided that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower is required to provide financial statements to Lenders in accordance with Section 6.3 hereto and agree that Agent shall have no duty to provide the same to Lenders.

(e) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Debt Documents (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders.

(f) Subordination Agreement. Each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Medtronic Subordination Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions thereof.

10.

MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1 Assignment. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.1, any Lender may make an assignment to an assignee of, or sell participations in, at any time or times, the Debt Documents, its Commitment, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder; provided, however, that a Lender may only assign an equal proportion of its Revolving Loans and Terms Loans and its Revolving Loan Commitment and Term Loan Commitment. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Qualified Assignee (as defined below), require the consent of each Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) require the execution of an assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent (an “Assignment Agreement”); (iii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Commitment and/or Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iv) be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or an affiliate of an existing Lender or is of the assignor’s (together with its affiliates’) entire interest of the Loans or is made with the prior written consent of Agent; and (v) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 10.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment and Loans, as applicable, or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Commitments and Obligations, Agent shall so notify Borrower and Borrower shall, upon the request of Agent, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being assigned. Agent may amend Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect assignments made in accordance with this Section.

As used herein, “Qualified Assignee” means (a) any Lender and any affiliate of any Lender and (b) any commercial bank, savings and loan association or savings bank or any other entity which is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) which extends credit or buys loans as one of its businesses, including insurance companies, mutual funds, lease financing companies and commercial finance companies, in each case, which has a rating of BBB or higher from S&P and a rating of Baa2 or higher from Moody’s at the date that it becomes a Lender and in each case of clauses (a) and (b), which, through its applicable lending office, is capable of lending to Borrower without the imposition of any withholding or similar taxes; provided that no person proposed to become a Lender after the Closing Date and determined by Agent to be acting in the capacity of a vulture fund or distressed debt purchaser shall be a Qualified Assignee, and no person or Affiliate of such person proposed to become a Lender after the Closing Date and that holds any subordinated debt or stock issued by Borrower shall be a Qualified Assignee.

10.2 Notices. All notices, requests or other communications given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto below such parties’ name or in the most recent Assignment Agreement executed by any Lender (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party delivered in accordance with this Section), and shall be deemed given (a) on the date of receipt if delivered by hand, (b) on the date of sender’s receipt of confirmation of proper transmission if sent by facsimile transmission, (c) on the next Business Day after being sent by a nationally-recognized overnight courier, and (d) on the fourth Business Day after being sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. As used herein, the term “Business Day” means and includes any day other than Saturdays, Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New York, New York are required or authorized to be closed.

10.3 Correction of Debt Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in all blanks in this Agreement or the Debt Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

10.4 Performance. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding, jointly and severally, upon all parties described as the “Borrower” and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns.

10.5 Payment of Fees and Expenses. Loan Parties agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse upon demand for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses in connection with (a) the investigation, preparation, negotiation, execution, administration of, or any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of, this Agreement or any other Debt Document incurred by Agent and, for any amendment that increases the Commitments or adds additional Lenders, such additional Lenders, (b) the administration of the Loans and the facilities hereunder and any other transaction contemplated hereby or under the Debt Documents incurred by Agent and (c) the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Debt Document incurred by Agent and Lenders, in each case of clauses (a) through (c), including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, the allocated cost of in-house legal counsel (without duplication), reasonable fees and expenses of consultants, auditors and appraisers and UCC and other corporate search and filing fees and wire transfer fees. Borrower further agrees that such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

10.6 Indemnity.

(a) Each Loan Party shall and does hereby jointly and severally indemnify and defend Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, attorneys, agents and affiliates (each an “Indemnitee”) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, expenses, penalties, claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation, related reasonable attorneys’ fees and, without duplication, the allocated costs of in-house legal counsel) of any kind whatsoever arising, directly or indirectly, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee as a result of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, no Loan Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitiee with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other applicable governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless the Borrower, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans.

(c) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any calendar month (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Debt Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) Borrower

shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) Borrower shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination of any borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender from and against all losses (other than lost profits), costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss (excluding loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant calendar month; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.7 Rights Cumulative. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. NONE OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY BORROWER UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY AGENT, REQUISITE LENDERS OR ALL LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

10.8 Entire Agreement; Amendments, Waivers.

(a) This Agreement and the other Debt Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with respect to such subject matter. Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

(b) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, and except as provided in clauses (c) and (d) below, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Debt Document, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Borrower and Lenders having more than (x) 50% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders or (y) if such Commitments have expired or been terminated, 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (the “Requisite Lenders”); provided, however, that so long as a party that is a Lender hereunder on the Closing Date does not assign any portion of its Commitment or any Loan, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Requisite Lender. Except as set forth in clause (c) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

(c) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Debt Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase or decrease any Commitment of any Lender or increase or decrease the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount or Total Term Loan Commitment Amount (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Obligation or the amount of any fees payable hereunder (other than waiving the imposition of the Default Rate), (iii) postpone the date fixed for or waive or reduce any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, or any fees hereunder, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or consent to a transfer of all or substantially all of the Intellectual Property, in each case, except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Debt Documents (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (v) subordinate the lien granted in favor of the Agent securing the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (vi) release a Loan Party from, or consent to a Loan Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder and under the other Debt Documents or any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders) or (vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive Section 8.4, 9.7 or 10.8(b) or (c).

(d) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement that increases the percentage advance rates set forth in the definition “Borrowing Base” set forth in Schedule C, or that makes less restrictive the nondiscretionary criteria for exclusion from Qualified Accounts set forth in Schedule C, or that amends this clause (d), shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, Borrower and the Revolving Lenders having more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of all Revolving Lenders; provided, however, that so long as any Revolving Lender hereunder on the Closing Date does not assign any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment, such Revolving Lender’s consent shall be required for any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent under this clause (d).

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10.8 to the contrary, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting or modifying the rights or obligations of Agent hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Borrower, Agent and Requisite Lenders.

10.9 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 2.3(d), 9.5, 10.5 and 10.6 and the other indemnities contained in the Debt Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other Debt Documents evidencing any of the Obligations shall not affect the right of Agent to retain the Collateral for such other Obligations as may then exist or as it may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future. This Agreement and the grant of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to Section 3.1 shall automatically be reinstated if Agent or any Lender is ever required to return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations (all as though such payment had never been made).

10.10 Use of Logo. Each Loan Party authorizes Agent to use its name, logo and/or trademark without notice to or consent by such Loan Party, in connection with certain promotional materials that Agent may disseminate to the public. The promotional materials may include, but are not limited to, brochures, video tape, internet website, press releases, advertising in newspaper and/or other periodicals, lucites, and any other materials relating the fact that Agent has a financing relationship with Borrower and such materials may be developed, disseminated and used without Loan Parties’ review. Nothing herein obligates Agent to use a Loan Party’s name, logo and/or trademark, in any promotional materials of Agent. Loan Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any governmental authority relating to a public offering of the securities of Borrower) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to General Electric

Capital Corporation, GE Healthcare Financial Services, Inc. or of any of their affiliates, the Debt Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein without at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to and the prior written consent of Agent unless, and only to the extent that, Loan Parties or such Affiliate is required to do so under applicable law and then, only after consulting with Agent prior thereto.

10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS AMONG LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND/OR LENDERS RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED AMONG LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND/OR LENDERS.

THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.12 Governing Law.

SCHEDULE C

BORROWING BASE

“Account” has the meaning given to such term in the UCC.

“Borrowing Base” means, on any date, a dollar amount equal to 85% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Borrower’s Qualified Accounts.

“Outstanding Balance” means, with respect to any Account, and as of any date of determination thereof, the amount equal to the book value of such Account minus (without duplication) (a) all cash collections and other proceeds of such Account received thereunder and (b) all discounts or other modifications that reduce the amount due on such Account, all as determined by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment consistent with its underwriting practices and procedures.

“Qualified Account” means an Account of Borrower, or portion thereof, that Agent, in its reasonable credit judgment, deems to be qualified for inclusion in the Borrowing Base. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Account shall be a Qualified Account if:

(a) the Account does not arise from the sale of goods or the performance of services by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business;

(b) the Account remains unpaid more than sixty (60) days following its due date or ninety (90) days following its original invoice date;

(c) the Account is subject to any defense, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, contra account, credit balance, deduction, discount, credit, chargeback, freight claim, allowance, or adjustment of any kind, but only to the extent of such defense, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, contra account, credit balance, deduction, discount, credit, chargeback, freight claim, allowance, or adjustment;

(d) if the Account arises from the sale of goods by Borrower, (i) the sale was not an absolute sale, (ii) the sale was made on consignment or on approval or on a sale-or-return or bill-and-hold basis, (iii) the sale was made subject to any other repurchase or return agreement, (iv) the goods sold and giving rise the Account have not been shipped to the account debtor with respect to such Account or its designee, or (v) any part of any goods sold and giving rise to the Account has been returned, rejected, lost, or damaged, but only to the extent of the actual offset or defense arising from such returned, rejected, lost or damaged goods;

(e) the Account is subject to any Lien (other than Liens in favor of Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders);

(f) any Loan Party knows or should have known of the bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, or insolvency of the account debtor;

(g) the Account is evidenced by chattel paper or an instrument of any kind, or has been reduced to judgment;

(h) the Account is an Account of an account debtor having its principal place of business or executive office outside the United States or is payable in other than U.S. dollars;

(i) the account debtor with respect to such Account is an Affiliate of Borrower;

(j) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate balance of all Accounts owing from the account debtor obligated on the Account are outstanding more than sixty (60) days following its due date or ninety (90) days following its original invoice date;

(k) fifty percent (50%) or more of the aggregate unpaid Accounts from any single account debtor are not deemed Qualified Accounts under this Agreement;

(l) the Account, together with all other Accounts owing to the same account debtor and its Affiliates, as of any date of determination exceeds 10% of all Qualified Accounts, but only to the extent of such excess;

(m) any covenant, representation or warranty contained in the Debt Documents with respect to such Account has been breached;

(n) the Account has not been billed;

(o) the Account is the obligation of an account debtor that is the United States government or a political subdivision thereof, or any state, county or municipality or department, agency or instrumentality thereof unless Agent, in its sole discretion, has agreed to the contrary in writing and Borrower, if necessary or desirable, has complied with respect to such obligation with the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, or any applicable state, county or municipal law restricting assignment thereofor;

(p) any of the representations or warranties set forth in the Agreement and pertaining to the Account is untrue; or

(q) the Account fails to meet such other specifications and requirements which may from time to time be established by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment.

“Reserves” means reserves established by Agent in its reasonable credit judgment from time to time pursuant to Section 2.2(a) with respect to known or anticipated liabilities, offsets, or liquidity needs of Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Reserves established to ensure the payment of accrued interest, fees, expenses and other liabilities (including without limitation rent reserves with respect to any leased locations) shall be deemed to be an exercise of Agent’s good faith credit judgment. Reserves may be established against the Borrowing Base and the Total Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as determined to be appropriate by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment.

SCHEDULE D

LETTERS OF CREDIT

(a) The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Letter of Credit Obligations” means all outstanding obligations incurred by the Lenders at the request of Borrower, whether direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, due or not due, in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit by the L/C Issuer as set forth in this Schedule D with respect to any Letter of Credit. The amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations shall equal the maximum amount that may be payable by Lenders thereupon or pursuant thereto.

“Letters of Credit” means documentary or standby letters of credit issued for the account of Borrower by any L/C Issuer, and bankers’ acceptances issued by Borrower, for which Lenders have incurred Letter of Credit Obligations.

(b) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment (a “Revolving Lender”) agrees to incur, from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, upon the request of Borrower and for Borrower’s account, Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by a bank or other legally authorized Person selected by or acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion (each, an “L/C Issuer”) for Borrower’s account and guaranteed by the Revolving Lenders. The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least of (i) $2,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”), (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment (less Reserves at such time) less the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans at such time, and (iii) the Borrowing Base (less Reserves at such time) less the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans at such time. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise determined by Agent in its sole discretion (including with respect to customary evergreen provisions), and Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the Commitment Termination Date.

(i) In the event that the L/C Issuer makes or is required to make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit, (1) it shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower thereof, (2) Agent shall pay the L/C Issuer the amount of such payment within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, and (3) such payment shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan under Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding Borrower's failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2, and each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with this Agreement. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to Agent for Agent's own account its Pro Rata Share of any such Revolving Loan or payment by Agent to the L/C Issuer shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Agent its Pro Rata Share thereof, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available such other Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

(ii) If Borrower shall be unable to incur Revolving Loans as contemplated by paragraph (c)(i) above because of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(g) or otherwise or if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Revolving Lender to be deemed to have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to the L/C Issuer, then (A) immediately and without further

action whatsoever, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the L/C Issuer an undivided interest and participation equal to such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share (based on its Revolving Loan Commitment) of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (B) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the L/C Issuer an undivided interest and participation in such Revolving Lender's Pro Rata Share (based on its Revolving Loan Commitment) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance. Each Revolving Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans, and Agent shall reimburse the L/C Issuer for such payment and disbursements as set forth in clause (i) above.

(iii) The obligations of Revolving Lenders under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be for the benefit of Agent and L/C Issuer and may be enforced by L/C Issuer.

(d) Cash Collateral.

(i) If Borrower is required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 8.2 of this Agreement, Borrower will pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and Revolving Lenders cash or cash equivalents acceptable to Agent (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding. Such Cash Collateral shall be held by Agent and pledged to, and subject to the control of, Agent, for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuer. Borrower hereby pledges and grants to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. This Agreement, including this Schedule D, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

(ii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower shall either (A) provide Cash Collateral therefor in the manner described above, or (B) cause all such Letters of Credit and guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned, or (C) deliver to L/C Issuer a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guarantee of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are satisfactory to Agent and L/C Issuer in their respective reasonable discretion.

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited as Cash Collateral by Borrower, whether before or after the Commitment Termination Date, Agent may apply such funds then held by it to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrower to Agent and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrower, to any other Obligations then due and payable.

(iv) Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by Borrower to Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any remaining Cash Collateral shall be applied to other Obligations then due

and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations any remaining amount shall be paid to Borrower or as otherwise required by law. Interest, if any, earned on Cash Collateral shall be held as additional collateral.

(e) Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the benefit of Revolving Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Revolving Margin multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on each Scheduled Payment Date and on the Commitment Termination Date. In addition, Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer, on demand, such fees (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of the L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

(f) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower shall give Agent at least five (5) Business Days' prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of Credit (which shall be acceptable to the L/C Issuer) and such other reimbursement agreements, Letter of Credit applications and other documents as Agent and the L/C Issuer shall otherwise request. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Letter of Credit applications by Borrower and approvals by Agent and the L/C Issuer may be made and transmitted pursuant to electronic codes and security measures mutually agreed upon and established by and among Borrower, Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(g) Obligation Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Agent and Revolving Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligations of each Revolving Lender to make payments to Agent with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such obligations of Borrower and Revolving Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph (h)(ii)(C) below) or the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty;

(v) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; or

(vi) any other circumstance or event whatsoever that is similar to any of the foregoing.

(h) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.

(i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless Agent and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and allocated costs of internal counsel without duplication) that Agent or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or applicable governmental authority, in each case other than to the extent as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii) As between Agent and any Lender and Borrower, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that in the case of any payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, Agent shall be liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Agent’s or any Lender's rights or powers hereunder or under this Agreement.

(iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by Borrower in favor of the L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between Borrower and the L/C Issuer; provided that in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any such application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

(a) Other than with respect to the Lockbox Account, which shall be governed by clause (b) below, no Loan Party shall directly or indirectly maintain or establish any deposit account or securities account, unless Agent, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the depository institution or securities intermediary at which the account is or will be maintained enter into a deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (an “Account Control Agreement”) (which agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) such depository institution or securities intermediary has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against such deposit or securities account (except as agreed to by Agent), other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (ii) such depository institution or securities intermediary shall comply with all instructions of Agent without further consent of such Loan Party or Loan Parties, as applicable, including, without limitation, an instruction by Agent to comply exclusively with instructions of the Agent with respect to such account (such notice, a “Notice of Exclusive Control”)), prior to or concurrently with the establishment of such deposit account or securities account (or in the case of any such deposit account or securities account maintained as of the date hereof, on or before the Closing Date). Agent may only give a Notice of Exclusive Control with respect to any deposit account (other than the Lockbox Account) or securities account at any time at which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the provisions of this clause (a), no Loan Party shall be obligated to execute an Account Control Agreement with respect to (1) any deposit account used exclusively for payroll or withholding tax purposes and (2) any deposit accounts maintained outside of the United States that do not at any time have a balance in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate for all such foreign deposit accounts. At Agent’s request, Borrower shall establish and maintain a segregated deposit account for payroll and withholding tax purposes.

(b) (i) On or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall (1) establish a new deposit account (the “Lockbox Account”) with Silicon Valley Bank, N.A. or another depository institution acceptable to Agent (the “Lockbox Bank”) into which all collections of Accounts shall be paid directly, (2) provide irrevocable standing wire transfer instructions to the Lockbox Bank, which instructions shall provide that all funds in the Lockbox Account will be transferred on a daily basis to the Collection Account, and (3) cause such Lockbox Account to become subject to an Account Control Agreement satisfying the conditions described in clause (a) above.

(ii) Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, (1) Borrower shall establish and maintain a lockbox (a “Lockbox”) with the Lockbox Bank that corresponds to the Lockbox Account, (2) Borrower shall instruct all account debtors to make payments directly to the Lockbox for deposit into the Lockbox Account or to the Lockbox Account (and within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, all collections on all Accounts shall be paid directly into the Lockbox), and (3) the Agent, the Borrower and the Lockbox Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, which shall provide, among other things, that (i) the Lockbox Bank shall comply exclusively with all instructions of Agent without further consent of the Borrower, (ii) the Lockbox Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the Lockbox Account (except as agreed to by Agent), other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of the Lockbox Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (iii) the Lockbox Bank agrees to transfer all funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account on a daily basis (such agreement, the “Lockbox Account Agreement”).

(iii) If the Borrower is unable to satisfy the requirements of clause (b)(ii) above with Silicon Valley Bank, N.A. on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, Borrower shall:

(x) on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date, (1) open a new Lockbox Account and establish a new Lockbox with a depository institution acceptable to Agent (the “New Bank”), (2) instruct all account debtors to make payments directly to such new Lockbox for deposit into such new Lockbox Account (and within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, all collections on all Accounts shall be paid directly into the Lockbox), and (3) open new corresponding deposit accounts at the New Bank to replace all existing deposit account at Silicon Valley Bank, N.A.; and

(y) on or before the date that is 150 days after the Closing Date, close all deposit accounts maintained at Silicon Valley Bank, N.A.

(d) All funds transferred from the Collection Account for application to the Revolving Loans shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Loans in the manner set forth in this Agreement, but for purposes of calculating interest shall be subject to a three (3) Business Day clearance period. If a credit balance exists with respect to the Collection Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall be available to Borrower at any time or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists.

(e) The failure to comply with any provision of this Schedule F shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

SCHEDULE G

FORM OF WARRANT

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUBJECT TO SECTION 6 BELOW, NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE ____________ SHARES OF SERIES ____________ CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

________ ___, 2008

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, ____________

(“Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase ____________ shares of fully paid and nonassessable Series ____________ Convertible Preferred Stock of ____________, a ________ corporation (the “Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the term “Preferred Stock” shall mean Company’s presently authorized Series ____________ Convertible Preferred Stock, ____________ par value per share, and any stock into which such Preferred Stock may hereafter be converted or exchanged and the term “Warrant Shares” shall mean the shares of Preferred Stock which Holder may acquire pursuant to this Warrant and any other shares of stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock may hereafter be converted or exchanged.

1. Warrant Price. The “Warrant Price” shall initially be ____________ per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below.

2. Conditions to Exercise. The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:00 P.M. Pacific time on the tenth anniversary of the date of this Warrant (the “Expiration Date”).

3. Method of Exercise or Conversion; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant.

(a) Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company (as set forth in Section 19 below) and by payment to Company, by certified or bank check, or wire transfer of immediately available funds, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be in the name of, and delivered to, Holder hereof, or as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 30 days after exercise of this Warrant and at Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Warrant Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not

have been exercised, shall also be issued to Holder hereof within 30 days after exercise of this Warrant.

(b) Conversion. In lieu of exercising this Warrant as specified in Section 3(a), Holder may from time to time convert this Warrant, in whole or in part, into Warrant Shares by surrender of the original of this Warrant (together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto) at the principal office of Company, in which event Company shall issue to Holder the number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:


X =		Y (A-B)
		A

Where:

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of Company’s Preferred Stock (at the date of such calculation).

B = Warrant Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

(c) Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 3, Fair Market Value of one share of Company’s Preferred Stock shall mean:

(i) In the event of an exercise in connection with an Initial Public Offering, the per share Fair Market Value for the Preferred Stock shall be the offering price at which the underwriters initially sell common stock of Company (“Common Stock”) to the public multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; or

(ii) The average of the closing bid and asked prices of Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary, the last reported sale price quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on any other exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal for the three (3) trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; or

(iii) In the event of an exercise in connection with a merger, acquisition or other consolidation in which Company is not the surviving entity, the per share Fair Market Value for the Preferred Stock shall be the value to be received per share of Preferred Stock by all holders of the Preferred Stock in such transaction as determined by the Board of Directors; or

(iv) In any other instance, the per share Fair Market Value for the Preferred Stock shall be as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of Company’s Board of Directors.

In the event of 3(c)(iii) or 3(c)(iv), above, Company’s Board of Directors shall prepare a certificate, to be signed by an authorized officer of Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and method of determination of the per share Fair Market Value of the Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors will also certify to Holder that this per share Fair Market Value will be applicable to all holders of Company’s Preferred Stock. Such certification must be made to Holder at least thirty (30)

business days prior to the proposed effective date of the merger, consolidation, sale, or other triggering event as defined in 3(c)(iii) or 3(c)(iv).

(d) Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be deemed to have been automatically converted in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof (even if not surrendered) as of immediately before its expiration, involuntary termination or cancellation if the then-Fair Market Value of a Warrant Share exceeds the then-Warrant Price, unless Holder notifies Company in writing to the contrary prior to such automatic exercise.

(e) Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of Company.

(i) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of Company, or sale of outstanding Company securities by holders thereof, where the holders of Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the successor or surviving entity after the transaction. For purposes of this Section 3(e), “Affiliate” shall mean any person or entity that owns or controls directly or indirectly ten percent (10%) or more of the voting capital stock of Company, any person or entity that controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such persons or entities, and each of such person’s or entity’s officers, directors, joint venturers or partners, as applicable.

(ii) Cash Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the sole consideration is cash, Holder may either (a) exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) permit the Warrant to expire upon the consummation of such Acquisition. Company shall provide Holder with written notice of any proposed Acquisition together with such reasonable information as Holder may request in connection with such contemplated Acquisition giving rise to such notice, which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) business days prior to the closing of the proposed Acquisition.

(iii) Asset Sale. In the event of an Acquisition that is an arms length sale of all or substantially all of Company’s assets (and only its assets) to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Company (a “True Asset Sale”), Holder may either (a) exercise its conversion or purchase right under this Warrant and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or (b) permit the Warrant to continue until the Expiration Date if Company continues as a going concern following the closing of any such True Asset Sale. Company shall provide Holder with written notice of any proposed asset sale together with such reasonable information as Holder may request in connection with such asset sale giving rise to such notice, which is to be delivered to Holder not less than ten (10) business days prior to the closing of the proposed asset sale.

(iv) Assumption of Warrant. Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than those particularly described in subsections (ii) and (iii) above, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price and/or number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted accordingly.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder and Company.

(a) Representations and Warranties by Holder. Holder represents and warrants to Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

(i) Evaluation. Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to Company so that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in Company and has the capacity to protect its interests.

(ii) Resale. Except for transfers to an affiliate of Holder, Holder is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein.

(iii) Rule 144. Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

(iv) Accredited Investor. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

(v) Opportunity To Discuss. Holder has had an opportunity to discuss Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review Company’s facilities. Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by Company, were intended to describe the aspects of Company’s business and prospects which Company believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description.

(b) Representations and Warranties by Company. Company hereby represents and warrants to Holder that the statements in the following paragraphs of this Section 4(b) are true and correct (a) as of the date hereof and (b) except where any such representation and warranty relates specifically to an earlier date, as of the date of any exercise of this Warrant.

(i) Corporate Organization and Authority. Company (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing in its jurisdiction of incorporation, (b) has the corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted; and (c) is qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions where such qualification is required.

(ii) Corporate Power .

(iii) Authorization; Enforceability. All corporate action on the part of Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under this Warrant and for the authorization, issuance and

delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant has been taken and this Warrant constitutes the legally binding and valid obligation of Company enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(iv) Valid Issuance of Warrant and Warrant Shares. This Warrant has been validly issued and is free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer set forth herein and under applicable state and federal securities laws. The Warrant Shares issuable upon conversion of this Warrant, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Warrant for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Warrant and under applicable state and federal securities laws. Subject to applicable restrictions on transfer, the issuance and delivery of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant are not subject to any preemptive or other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances except as specifically set forth in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or this Warrant. The offer, sale and issuance of the Warrant Shares, as contemplated by this Warrant, are exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements of applicable United States federal and state security laws, and neither Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf has or will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

(v) No Conflict. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Warrant will not result in (a) any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice (1) any provision of Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws; (2) any provision of any judgment, decree, or order to which Company is a party, by which it is bound, or to which any of its material assets are subject; (3) any contract, obligation, or commitment to which Company is a party or by which it is bound; or (4) any statute, rule, or governmental regulation applicable to Company, or (b) the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of Company.

(vi) Capitalization. The capitalization table of Company attached hereto as Annex A is complete and accurate as of the date hereof (after giving effect to the issuance of this Warrant) and reflects (a) all outstanding capital stock of Company and (b) all outstanding warrants, options, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire or issue any equity securities or convertible securities of Company. Company has reserved ____________ shares of Common Stock for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

(vii) Warrant Price. The Warrant Price is no greater than the lowest price at which Company has issued Series ____________ Convertible Preferred Stock to an unrelated third party in an arm’s length transaction.

5. Legends.

(a) Legend. Each certificate representing the Warrant Shares shall be endorsed with substantially the following legend:

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED (UNLESS SUCH TRANSFER IS TO AN AFFILIATE OF HOLDER) UNLESS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, A “NO ACTION” LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER, A

TRANSFER MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR (IF REASONABLY REQUIRED BY COMPANY) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

Company need not enter into its stock records a transfer of Warrant Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to allow the transfer of any of the Warrant Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

(b) Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 5(a) of this Warrant shall be removed and Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to Holder if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available or (ii) Holder provides to Company an opinion of counsel for Holder reasonably satisfactory to Company, a no-action letter or interpretive opinion of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reasonably satisfactory to Company, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Company, to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction such as Rule 144.

6. Condition of Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. It shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or exercise, Holder shall provide Company with a representation in writing that Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Preferred Stock to be issued upon exercise for investment purposes only and not with a view to any sale or distribution, or will provide Company with a statement of pertinent facts covering any proposed distribution. As a further condition to any transfer of this Warrant or any or all of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, other than a transfer registered under the Act, Company may request a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to Company and its counsel, reciting the pertinent circumstances surrounding the proposed transfer and stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to an affiliate of Holder. As further condition to each transfer, at the request of Company, Holder shall surrender this Warrant to Company and the transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like tenor and date, executed by Company.

7. Adjustment for Certain Events. The number and kind of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Warrant Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows:

(a) Reclassification or Merger. In case of (i) any reclassification or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any merger of Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger with another corporation in which Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or (iii) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to Holder a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to Holder of this Warrant), or Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that Holder shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Warrant Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise or conversion of this

Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, change, merger or sale by a holder of the number of shares of Preferred Stock then purchasable under this Warrant, or in the case of such a merger or sale in which the consideration paid consists all or in part of assets other than securities of the successor or purchasing corporation, at the option of Holder, the securities of the successor or purchasing corporation having a value at the time of the transaction equivalent to the value of the Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the transaction. Any new Warrant shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 7. The provisions of this subparagraph (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, mergers and transfers.

(b) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If Company at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding and unexpired shall subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a combination.

(c) Stock Dividends and Other Distributions. If Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall (i) pay a dividend with respect to Preferred Stock payable in Preferred Stock, then the Warrant Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or (ii) make any other distribution with respect to Preferred Stock (except any distribution specifically provided for in Sections 7(a) and 7(b)), then, in each such case, provision shall be made by Company such that Holder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were Holder of the Warrant Shares as of the record date fixed for the determination of the shareholders of Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

(d) Adjustment of Number of Shares. Upon each adjustment in the Warrant Price, the number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted, to the nearest whole share, to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment in the Warrant Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Warrant Price immediately thereafter.

(e) Adjustment for Dilutive Issuance. The Warrant Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or, if the Warrant Shares are Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Warrant Shares, shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time in the manner set forth in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation as if the Warrant Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment. The provisions set forth for the Warrant Shares in Company’s Certificate of Incorporation relating to the above in effect as of the date hereof may not be amended, modified or waived, without the prior written consent of Holder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the Warrant Shares in the same manner as such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with all other shares of the same series and class as the Warrant Shares.

(f) Adjustment for Pay-to-Play Transaction. In the event that Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides, or is amended to so provide, for the amendment or modification of the rights, preferences or privileges of the Preferred Stock, or the reclassification, conversion or exchange of the Preferred Stock, in the event that a holder thereof fails to participate in an equity financing transaction (a “Pay-to-Play Provision”), and in the event that such Pay-to-Play Provision becomes operative, this Warrant shall automatically and without any action required become exercisable for that number and type of shares of equity securities as would have been issued or exchanged, or would have remained outstanding, in respect of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder had this Warrant been exercised in full prior to such event, and had Holder participated in the equity financing to the maximum extent permitted.

8. Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any Warrant Price or the kind or number of securities issuable under this Warrant shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Company shall prepare a certificate signed by an officer of Company setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and number or kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to Holder as set forth in Section 19 hereof.

9. Financial and Other Reports. From time to time up to the earlier of the Expiration Date or the complete exercise of this Warrant, Company shall furnish to Holder, if Company is a private company, (a) unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days of each month end, in a form acceptable to Holder and certified by Company’s president or chief financial officer, and (b) Company’s complete annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements certified by an independent certified public accountant selected by Company and satisfactory to Holder within 120 days of the fiscal year end or, if sooner, at such time as Company’s Board of Directors receives the audit. If Company is a publicly held company, it shall deliver to Holder quarterly unaudited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements and annual audited consolidated and, if available, consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements, certified by a recognized firm of certified public accountants, within 5 days after the statements are required to be provided to the SEC, and if Holder requests, Company shall deliver to Holder monthly unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flow statements within 30 days after the end of each month. All such statements are to be prepared using GAAP and, if Company is a publicly held company, are to be in compliance with SEC requirements. At the time of Company’s delivery of quarterly financial statements in accordance with this Section 9, Company shall also deliver to Holder an updated capitalization table of Company in the form attached hereto as Annex A.

10. Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 6 and applicable federal and state securities laws. Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred. Holder shall not have any right to transfer any portion of this Warrant to any direct competitor of Company.

11. Registration Rights. Company grants registration rights to Holder of this Warrant for any Common Stock of Company obtained by Holder upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, or subsequent conversion of the Preferred Stock, in parity to the registration rights granted to other holders of the Preferred Stock and agrees that Holder shall be added as a party to that certain ____________ dated as of ____________ of Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and that the Warrant Shares shall be

“Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement. [CONFORM PARAGRAPH AS APPROPRIATE]

12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional share of Preferred Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise or conversion hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

13. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Preferred Stock upon the exercise or conversion of this Warrant shall be made without charge to Holder for any United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of Holder.

14. No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise. Except as expressly provided herein, this Warrant does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of Company prior to the exercise hereof.

15. Registry of Warrant. Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of Company, and Company and Holder shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

16. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu hereof.

17. Miscellaneous.

(a) Issue Date. The provisions of this Warrant shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respect as if it had been issued and delivered by Company on the date hereof.

(b) Successors. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of Company.

(e) Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any dispute between the parties concerning the terms and provisions of this Warrant, the party prevailing in such dispute shall be entitled to collect from the other party all costs incurred in such dispute, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

18. No Impairment. Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of Holder hereof against impairment. Without limiting the breadth of the foregoing, Company will not cause the Series ____________ Convertible
