All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

This Note evidences certain Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility made from time to time to Borrowers by the Lender under the Loan Agreement, and the Borrowers hereby promise to pay interest at the offices described above on the Loans evidenced hereby at the rates and at the times and in the manner specified therefor in the Loan Agreement.

Repayments of principal hereon, shall be recorded by the Agent on a schedule to this Note or recorded on the Agent’s books and records. Borrowers agree that in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or enforce collection of this Note, the entries so recorded on a schedule to this Note or recorded on the books and records of the Agent shall, absent demonstrable error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by Lender to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.

This Note is issued by the Borrowers under the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and is secured by, among other things, the Collateral, the Amended and Restated ModusLink Pledge Agreement and this Note and the holder hereof is entitled to all of the benefits and security provided for thereby or referred to therein, to which reference is hereby made for a statement thereof.

Voluntary prepayments may be made on this Note, and certain prepayments are required to be made hereon, all in the events, on the terms and with the effects provided in the Loan Agreement.


All of Lender’s rights and remedies are cumulative and non-exclusive. The acceptance by Lender of any partial payment made hereunder after the time when any of the Liabilities hereunder become due and payable will not establish a custom, or waive any rights of Lender to enforce prompt payment thereof. Lender’s failure to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Note shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any waiver of an Event of Default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default hereunder. Borrowers and every endorser waive presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of this Note. Borrowers further waive any and all notice or demand to which Borrowers might be entitled with respect to this Note by virtue of any applicable statute or law (to the extent permitted by law).

This Note is issued in replacement of that certain Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note dated October 31, 2005 in the original principal amount of $25,000,000.00 (the “Prior Note”). The Prior Note shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect by the acceptance by Lender of this Note.

BORROWERS (i) WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE; (ii) IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS NOTE; (iii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT BORROWERS MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING; (iv) AGREE THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (v) AGREE NOT TO INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR ANY OF LENDER’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR PROPERTY, CONCERNING ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN ONE LOCATED IN COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
