ARTICLE 2. LOAN.

2.1 Revolving Line of Credit. The Lender agrees to extend the Revolving Loan to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Until the Ending Date, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Advances in accordance with this Agreement.

a. Allowed Amount of Advances. The aggregate principal amount of Advances outstanding at any time under the Revolving Note shall not exceed the lesser of:

1. the difference between (i) the Maximum Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and (ii) the LOC Obligations; or

2. the difference between (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the LOC Obligations; provided however, as follows:

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may reserve against the amount available for Advances under the Revolving Note, thereby limiting the amount that the Borrower may be advanced under the Revolving Note, should Lender determine that such action is necessary or prudent to permit Lender to be repaid all Advances made to Borrower.

b. Mandatory Prepayments. If the principal outstanding under the Revolving Loan, at any time exceeds the Allowed Amount of Advances, then Borrower shall make an immediate payment of principal under the Revolving Loan in an amount sufficient that the principal outstanding under the Revolving Loan will no longer exceed the Allowed Amount of Advances.

c. Procedure for Advances. Borrower may request Advances by telephone through its employees or agents, as hereinafter provided. Each Advance request must be received by Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard time) on the date the Advance is to be made and must specify the amount of the Advance. Lender shall deposit the Advance into Borrower’s Operating Account if Borrower is entitled to the Advance, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Borrower promises to repay the Revolving Loan, with interest, at the time and in the manner and in accordance with the terms provided in the Revolving Note. Borrower has elected to authorize Lender to effect payment of sums due under the Revolving Note and this Agreement by means of debiting Borrower’s account with Lender, account number ###-###-####. This authorization shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to pay such sums when due, without notice, if there are insufficient funds in such account to make payment in full on the due date thereof, or if Lender fails to debit the account.

e. Letter of Credit Subfacility. At Lender’s discretion, Lender shall issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time upon request from the Closing Date until the Ending Date, subject to the following terms and conditions:

3. no Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date more than one year from the date of issuance or beyond the Ending Date unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing or unless Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Lender for drawings under the Letter of Credit has been fully secured by a cash deposit with the Lender;

4. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit Agreement with respect to each Letter of Credit to be issued by Lender, using the Lender’s standard reimbursement agreement form at the time the Letter of Credit is issued. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit, and any reimbursement agreement required by Lender in relation to a Letter of Credit, must be satisfactory to the Lender, in its sole judgment;

5. issuance of the Letter of Credit shall not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Advances to exceed the Allowed Amount of Advances, determined taking into account the increase in the amount of the LOC Obligations caused by the issuance of the Letter of Credit;

6. Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit if any circumstance exists that would entitle Lender not to honor a request for an Advance under the Revolving Loan;

7. upon notice from Lender of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, as to be determined in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, either (a) deliver cash to Lender, in an amount satisfactory to secure all LOC Obligations and all amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under any Letter of Credit Agreement pertaining to such LOC Obligations, or (b) immediately reimburse Lender for the amount of the drawing, plus interest from the date of the drawing at the highest rate of interest then in effect under the Revolving Note. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the Lender for any drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Lender, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or any other Person;

8. unless the Borrower makes reimbursement from another source on the day of the drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Advance under the Revolving Loan in the amount of the drawing, and (i) Lender, at its option, may make such an Advance (irrespective of whether Borrower would then be entitled to an Advance under the terms of this Agreement) and apply the proceeds of the Advance to satisfy the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse Lender for the amount drawn on the Letter of Credit; and (ii) any such Advance shall be repayable, with interest, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Revolving Note; and

9. the provisions of the Letter of Credit Agreement pertaining to each Letter of Credit are deemed incorporated into this Agreement by this reference and shall be binding upon the Lender and Borrower as if fully set forth herein. If a conflict exists between the terms of the Letter of Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of the Letter of Credit Agreement shall control with respect to the Letter of Credit issued pursuant to that Letter of Credit Agreement but not as to other matters governed by this Agreement or such Loan Document.

f. Use of Revolving Loan Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loan shall be used for working capital and to finance the issuance of Letters of Credit, and for no other purposes.

g. Revolving Loan Fees. Borrower promises to pay Lender the following fees in consideration of entering into this Agreement. These fees are in addition to interest payable under the Revolving Note:

1. an up front fee of $12,500.00, payable on the Closing Date;

2. an unused fee for each day that any part of the Maximum Revolving Loan Commitment Amount is unused. The unused fee shall be calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on the first day of the first month after the date of this Agreement.

3. an annual fee of 1.75% of the face amount of any Letter of Credit issued by Lender under this Agreement, such fee being initially payable at the time of issuance of a Letter of Credit and then being payable on each anniversary date of such issuance date while the Letter of Credit remains outstanding.

4. the fees and costs associated for up to two field examinations performed by the Lender or its agents per calendar year.

4.5 Financing Statements; Possession of Collateral by Lender; Control. At the request of the Lender, Borrower will execute financing statements, continuation statements and other documents with respect to the Collateral pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, in form satisfactory to the Lender, and Borrower will pay the cost of filing the same in all public offices wherever the Lender deems filing to be necessary or desirable.

In addition, upon request of Lender, Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender, or authorize and direct any and all Persons in possession of Collateral, to immediately deliver to Lender all Collateral for which Lender requires possession to perfect its security interest in such Collateral, properly endorsed or acknowledged. Furthermore, Borrower shall take all such actions as may be requested by Lender to allow Lender to exercise control over any Collateral for such purpose of allowing Lender to perfect its security interest in Collateral, which Collateral may include deposit accounts,

Investment Property, letter-of-credit rights and electronic chattel paper. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, and have any other Persons in possession or control of Collateral, execute and deliver to Lender, control or other agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

Borrower hereby grants the Lender the right to audit the books and records of Borrower relating to Collateral at any time and from time to time. Borrower shall (i) promptly furnish the Lender with any information with respect to Collateral requested by Lender; (ii) allow the Lender or its representatives to inspect the Collateral during normal business hours upon forty eight (48) hours prior notice or such shorter notice (including no notice at all) which shall be reasonable under the circumstances, such inspection rights to be provided regardless of where such Collateral may be located or in whose possession such Collateral may be, and to inspect and copy, or furnish the Lender or its representatives with copies of all records relating to the Collateral; (iii) furnish the Lender or its representatives such information as the Lender may request to identify the Collateral, at the time and in the form requested by Lender; and (iv) deliver upon request to Lender shipping and delivery receipts evidencing the shipment of goods and invoices evidencing the receipt of the Collateral and payment for the Collateral.

4.7 No Release. No injury to the Collateral, loss or destruction of the Collateral, failure to perfect or to continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, or release of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral or any part thereof (except as may be permitted under the terms of this Agreement) shall relieve Borrower of any obligation under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower expressly waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral, and shall not be released or discharged of any obligation under the Loan Documents, in whole or in part, by Lender’s failure to protect or preserve the Collateral. No Person (other than Lender), in deciding to enter into this Loan Agreement, has relied on the execution of this Loan Agreement or the granting of a security interest in Collateral by any other Person. Each Person comprised by the term “Borrower” waives notice of any change in financial condition of any Person liable for the Loan or any part thereof, and agrees that maturity of the Loan or any part thereof may be accelerated, extended or renewed one or more times by Lender in its discretion, without notice to the Person and without affecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. Lender shall not be required to bring any action against any other Person or to resort to any other security or to any balance of any deposit account as a condition of enforcing its rights against any of the Collateral.

4.8 Indemnification; Risk of Loss. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by or against the Lender relating to the Collateral, the Borrower will defend, indemnify and keep the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of account debtor or other obligor of the Borrower. The foregoing obligation of the Borrower to indemnify the Lender shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement, but shall not extend to any suit, proceeding or action arising out of the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

In addition, the risk of any loss or damage associated with the Collateral, including without limitation, any Collateral in the possession of Lender shall be borne by the Borrower; provided, that Lender shall be responsible for any loss resulting from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event that Lender is in possession of Collateral, (a) Borrower shall be liable to Lender and shall pay to Lender, upon demand, all reasonable expenses, including the cost of insurance and payment of taxes or other charges, incurred in the custody, preservation, use or operation of the Collateral, and all such expenses shall be secured by the Collateral; and (b) Lender may use and operate the Collateral, as determined in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to preserve the Collateral or its value, (ii) as permitted by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction, or (iii) as otherwise set forth herein or as previously or hereafter agreed to by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall have no duty and be under no obligation to collect any income accruing on the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral.

Borrower shall use its best efforts and shall take any and all steps necessary to collect its Accounts, including without limitation, the filing and pursuit of legal action in furtherance of said collection efforts, and to sell its Inventory for fair market value and on commercially reasonable market terms.

6.13 Collateral. Maintain all tangible Collateral in good condition; insure insurable Collateral for its full replacement cost under an insurance policy acceptable to Lender that names Lender as loss lender payee; execute, deliver and file, or cause the execution, delivery and filing of, any and all documents (including without limitation, financing statements and continuation statements), necessary or desirable for the Lender to create, perfect, preserve, validate or otherwise protect a first priority lien and security interest in the Collateral; maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times, the Lender’s first priority lien and security interest in the Collateral; immediately upon learning thereof, report to the Lender any reclamation, return or repossession of any goods forming a part of the Collateral, any claim or dispute asserted by any debtor or other obligor owing an obligation to Borrower, and any other matters affecting the value or enforceability or collectibility of any of the Collateral; defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Lender, and pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such defense; at Borrower’s sole cost and expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), settle any and all claims, demands and disputes, and indemnify and protect the Lender against any liability, loss or expenses arising from any such claims, demands or disputes or out of any such reclamation, return or repossession of goods forming a part of the Collateral; however, if the Lender shall so elect, the Lender shall have the right

at all times to settle, compromise, adjust or litigate all claims and disputes directly with the Customer or other obligor owing an obligation to Borrower upon such terms and conditions as the Lender deems advisable, and all costs and expenses thereof (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be incurred for the account of Borrower and shall constitute a part of the obligations owed to the Lender and secured pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower’s equipment shall be kept and maintained at the locations set forth in said Schedule 6.13 or such other locations within the United States of America of which Borrower has notified Lender, other than equipment used by Borrower in road shows or other presentations to its Customers in accordance with past business practices. Borrower shall execute all documents or financing statements and take such action as Lender may request to assure that Lender’s first priority security interest in the equipment continues to be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable laws of the jurisdiction to which the equipment is moved.

As of March 31, 2008 and as of each fiscal quarter of Borrower thereafter, a minimum Tangible Net Worth in an amount equal to the Initial TNW Amount, less $500,000.00.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the PWC Audit indicates that the Tangible Net Worth of Borrower as of December 31, 2006 is less than $12,000,000.00, such condition shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

6.15 Financial Covenant; Minimum Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value. Maintain, at all times, an Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value of the BOA Investments in the BOA Collateral Accounts of not less than Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00). If at any time the Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value of the BOA Investments is less than $2,000,000.00, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of the date that the Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value of the BOA Investments falls below $2,000,000.00, either (a) pledge, grant a security interest in and delivery to Lender additional securities so that the Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value of the BOA Investments equals or exceeds $2,000,000.00, or (b) provide cash collateral in an amount such that the Aggregate Adjusted Collateral Value of the BOA Investments equals or exceeds $2,000,000.00.

If an Event of Default

exists hereunder and the Collateral is declining in value or threatens to decline speedily in value, Lender shall have no obligation to notify Borrower of the failure to comply with the covenant set forth in this Section 6.15, nor to provide Borrower with an opportunity to cure such noncompliance, and in such a case Borrower agrees that Lender may immediately at Lender’s sole option (i) declare amounts due under the Revolving Note and/or other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, and/or (ii) sell all or any part of the Collateral and apply the proceeds of such Collateral to the amounts owing under the Revolving Note and/or other Loan Documents.

6.16 Notice of Litigation, Default and Loss. Give immediate notice to the Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or otherwise would constitute an Event of Default, and of any loss or damage to any of the Collateral. Borrower also shall give immediate notice to the Lender of any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or agency (domestic or foreign), commission, board, bureau, arbitrator or arbitration panel which, if adversely determined, could result in a Material Adverse Effect. Immediately upon becoming aware that the holder of any Consolidated Debt or Encumbrance has given notice or taken any action with respect to a claimed breach, default or event of default, a written notice shall be given by Borrower to Lender specifying the notice given or action taken by such holder and the nature of the claimed breach, default or event of default by the Borrower thereunder, and the action being taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto. Borrower shall also give immediate notice to Lender of the incurrence by Borrower of any actual or potential contingent liability, such notice to include, in detail, the basis for and amount of such liability.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6.17 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrower’s website on the internet at the following website address: www.varsitygroup.com/investorrelations.html; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an internet or intranet website, if any, to which Lender has access; provided that: (i) the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Lender if Lender requests the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Lender, and (ii) the Borrower shall notify the Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any annual or quarterly reports, registration statements or of any posting involving a material event or disclosure, and provide to the Lender by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required under this Agreement to the Lender.

6.18 ERISA. Give prompt notice to Lender of any of the following: (i) of any event or condition, including, but not limited to, any Reportable Event, that constitutes, or might reasonably lead to, a Termination Event; (ii) with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, the receipt of notice as prescribed in ERISA or otherwise of any withdrawal liability assessed against the Borrower, any of its subsidiaries or any of its ERISA Affiliates, or of a determination that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent (both within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA); (iii) the failure to make full payment on or before the due date (including extensions) thereof of all amounts which the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliate is required to contribute to each Plan pursuant to its terms and as required to meet the minimum funding standard set forth in ERISA and the Code with respect thereto; or (iv) any change in the funding status of any Plan that could have a Material Adverse Effect; together, with a description of any such event or condition or a copy of any such notice and a statement by the principal financial officer of the Borrower briefly setting forth the details regarding such event, condition, or notice, and the action, if any, which has been or is being taken or is proposed to be taken by Borrower with respect thereto. Promptly upon request, the Borrower shall furnish to Lender such additional information concerning any Plan as may be reasonably requested, including, but not limited to, copies of each annual report/return (Form 5500 series), as well as all schedules and attachments thereto required to file with the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to ERISA and the Code, respectively, for each “plan year” (within the meaning of Section 3(39) of ERISA). Such notice shall be given in any event within five (5) business days after the occurrence of any event that Borrower is required to report to Lender under this clause.

ARTICLE 8. COLLECTION, DEPOSIT AND ASSIGNMENT OF PAYMENTS.

8.1 Operating Account. While the Loan remains in effect and until such time as Lender has no further obligations hereunder, Borrower shall cause all Payments to be deposited into the Operating Account, subject to the Lender’s option to require Payments to be deposited into a Cash Collateral Account, as provided in Section 8.2.

8.2 Cash Collateral Account. Lender may, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, require the establishment of a Cash Collateral Account, in which event Borrower shall cause all Payments to be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. In furtherance of this covenant, Borrower shall instruct all Customers to make all Payments either by electronic funds transfer directly to the Cash Collateral Account or by check to a post office box or other collection facility under Lender’s control for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account. If any Payments are made directly to the Borrower or otherwise come into the Borrower’s possession, the Borrower shall not commingle any such Payment with the Borrower’s other funds or property, but shall hold the Payment separate and apart in trust for the Lender and shall promptly deliver the Payment to the Lender (appropriately endorsed, if the Payment is in the form of a check) for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account. Interest (if any) earned on sums on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be added to the Cash Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby appoints the Lender and any officer, employee or agent of the Lender as the Lender may from time to time designate as attorneys-in-fact for the Borrower to endorse and sign the name of the Borrower on all checks, drafts, money orders or other Items delivered to the Lender for deposit into the Cash Collateral Account. The Cash Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral, and funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied towards the amounts due and owing under the Revolving Note, this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents as determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, the remaining funds shall be deposited into Borrower’s Operating Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, Payments received by Lender shall be applied as the Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Borrower retains sole responsibility for assuring that Borrower’s Operating Account contains sufficient funds to pay any Items that may be presented for payment from the Operating Account.

8.3 Overdrafts. At Lender’s sole option in each instance, Lender may do one of the following:

a. Lender may make Advances under the Revolving Note to prevent or to cover an overdraft on account of Borrower with Lender. Each such Advance will accrue interest from the date of the Advance or the date on which the account is overdrawn, whichever occurs first, at the interest rate described in the Revolving Note. Lender may make such Advances even if the Advances may cause the balance owing under the Revolving Note to exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Commitment Amount; or

b. Lender may reduce the amount of credit otherwise available under the Revolving Note by the amount of any overdraft on any account of Borrower with Lender.

This section shall not be deemed to authorize Borrower to create overdrafts on any of Borrower’s accounts with Lender.

ARTICLE 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

9.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement:

a. Borrower shall fail to pay, when due, any sum payable under the Revolving Note, and such failure shall continue for five (5) Business Days; or

e. there shall be a default or event of default under any indebtedness or obligation of Borrower to any third party in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) that causes that third party to declare such indebtedness or other obligation due prior to its scheduled date of maturity; or

f. there shall occur a default or event of default under any existing or future loan, indebtedness or obligation of Borrower to Lender; or

g. the PWC Audit should reflect a tangible net worth for Borrower, as of December 31, 2006, of less than Twelve Million and 00/100 Dollars ($12,000,000.00); or

j. any loss, theft, damage or destruction of any material portion of the Collateral for which there is either no insurance coverage or for which, in the opinion of the Lender, there is insufficient insurance coverage; or

k. thirty five percent (35%) or more of the voting control in Borrower is directly or indirectly sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered or otherwise conveyed without the prior written consent of the Lender; or

l. any of the following events or conditions shall occur: (1) any “accumulated funding deficiency,” as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code, whether or not waived, shall exist with respect to any Plan, or any lien shall arise on the assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate in favor of the PBGC or a Plan; (2) a Termination Event shall occur with respect to a Single Employer Plan, which, in the Lender’s opinion, is likely to result in the termination of such Plan for purposes of Title IV of ERISA; (3) a Termination Event shall occur with respect to a Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, which in the Lender’s opinion, is likely to result in (i) the termination of such Plan for purposes of Title IV of ERISA, or (ii) the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate incurring any liability in connection with a withdrawal from, reorganization of (within the meaning of Section 4241 of ERISA), or insolvency or (within the meaning of Section 4245 of ERISA) such Plan; or (4) any prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breach of fiduciary responsibility shall occur which may subject the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate to any liability under Section 406, 409, 502(i), or 502(l) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or under any agreement or other instrument pursuant to which the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has agreed or is required to indemnify any Person against any such liability; or

m. Borrower or any other Person standing as a guarantor for the Loan or providing security for the Loan shall fail to observe or perform any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or in any other agreement (including, without limitation, any Swap Agreement) with the Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates to be observed or performed on its part and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice of the existence of such default is given by Lender. The cure period described in this paragraph is inapplicable to the Events of Default listed in the paragraphs above.

If one of the foregoing events or circumstances occurs to which a cure period applies, Lender will not exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement to collect the Loan except as Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect its interests in the Collateral, but Lender shall not be required to make any new Advances, loans or other financial accommodations unless and until the default is timely cured under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any right to cure a default is applicable only to defaults for which a cure period has been provided, and only to the occurrence of a single default during any one calendar year period. Borrower shall have no right to cure more than one default in any one calendar year period, nor shall Borrower have the right at any time to cure any default for which no cure period has been provided.

9.2 Rights and Remedies of the Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender may, at its option, exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies:

a. Declare this Agreement and the Lender’s obligation to make or extend any Advances on the Revolving Loan to be terminated, and declare the entire unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loan, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be accelerated, and to be immediately due and payable (except that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising out of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings in which the Borrower is the debtor, such acceleration shall occur automatically and immediately without any declaration or other action on the part of the Lender) whereupon the Revolving Loan, all such accrued interest, and all such amounts shall become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, anything contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding;

b. Take possession or control of, store, lease, operate, manage, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in accordance with the remedies provided to secured parties under the Uniform Commercial Code, this Agreement, the Loan Documents or other applicable law. In taking possession of the Collateral, the Lender may enter the Borrower’s premises and otherwise proceed without legal process, and the Borrower shall on the Lender’s demand, promptly assemble and make the Collateral available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender. The Lender

shall be entitled to immediate possession of all books and records evidencing or pertaining to any of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender may disclaim any warranty relating to title, possession, quiet enjoyment or any other warranty of the like, including without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose;

c. Notify any or all Customers to make any Payments due to Borrower from such Customers directly to the Lender and render performance to or for the benefit of Lender of any obligations of such Customers to Borrower. To facilitate direct collection, Borrower hereby appoints the Lender and any officer or employee of the Lender, as the Lender may from time to time designate, as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to (i) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and take therefrom any Payments on or proceeds of Accounts; (ii) take over Borrower’s post office boxes or make such other arrangements, in which Borrower shall cooperate, to receive Borrower’s mail, including notifying the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as the Lender shall designate; (iii) endorse the name of Borrower in favor of the Lender upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other evidences of payment or Collateral that may come into the Lender’s possession; (iv) sign and endorse the name of Borrower on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Accounts, on verifications of Accounts sent to any Customer, to drafts against any Customer, to assignments of Accounts, and to notices to any Customer; and (v) do all acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including signing the name of Borrower on any instruments required by law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and on financing statements as permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code of any appropriate state. Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts of such attorneys-in-fact, and neither the Lender nor any other such attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission, or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law of any such attorney-in-fact. This power, being coupled with an interest and given to secure an obligation, is irrevocable so long as the Loan remains unsatisfied, or any Loan Document remains effective, as solely determined by the Lender. Lender shall have no obligation or duty to pursue any Person other than Borrower for the amounts owing under or in connection with the Loan, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any Persons pledging property to secure the Loan. To the extent such rights may now or hereafter exist, Borrower waives the right to require Lender to pursue any Persons other than Borrower to pay the amounts owing under the Revolving Note, Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents;

d. In the Lender’s own name, or in the name of Borrower, demand, collect, receive, sue for and give receipts and releases for, any and all amounts due on Accounts, but the Lender shall not, under any circumstances, be liable for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom;

e. Endorse as the agent of Borrower any chattel paper, documents or instruments forming all or any part of the Collateral;

f. Make formal application for the transfer of all of Borrower’s permits, licenses, approvals, agreements and the like relating to the Collateral or to Borrower’s business to the Lender or to any assignee of the Lender or to any purchaser of any of the Collateral;

g. Obtain appointment of a receiver for all or any of the Collateral, Borrower hereby consenting to the appointment of such a receiver and agreeing not to oppose any such appointment. Any receiver so appointed shall have such powers as may be conferred by the appointing authority including any or all of the powers, rights and remedies which the Lender is authorized to exercise by the Loan Documents, and shall have the right to incur such obligations and to issue such certificates therefor as the appointing authority shall authorize;

h. Take any other action which the Lender deems necessary or desirable to protect and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral;

i. File any legal action or lawsuit and obtain a judgement for any and all amounts owing under the Revolving Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and in conjunction with any such action, Lender may pursue any ancillary remedies provided by law, including without limitation, attachment, garnishment, execution and levy;

j. With respect to any Investment Property (including without limitation, the BOA Investments and/or the BOA Collateral Accounts), in addition to any other remedies set forth in this Agreement:

1. To transfer to or register in Lender’s name or the name of any nominee all or any part of the Investment Property of Borrower, without notice to Borrower and with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the security interest created hereunder;

2. To sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, all or any of the Investment Property of Borrower, in one or more parcels, on any securities exchange on which any of the Investment Property may be listed, at public or private sale, at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Lender may deem satisfactory. If any of such Collateral is sold by Lender upon credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Lender may resell such Collateral. In no event shall Borrower be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any such Collateral until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been received by Lender. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold free from any lien or Encumbrance, including any equity or right of redemption of Borrower, and Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all rights to require Lender to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the amounts owing under the Revolving Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

3. To exercise, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) all voting, consensual and other rights and powers pertaining to the Borrower’s Investment Property including without limitation, the BOA Investments and BOA Collateral Accounts (whether or not transferred into the name of Lender), at any meeting of shareholders, partners, members or otherwise, and (ii) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property, as if Lender were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, reclassification, combination of shares or interest, similar rearrangement or other similar fundamental change in the structure of the applicable issuer, or upon the exercise by Borrower or Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property), and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Lender may determine, and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of such Investment Property, all without liability except to account for any property actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option or give any such consent, waiver or ratification and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing; and for the foregoing purposes, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender, upon request, all such proxies and other instruments as Lender may request to enable Lender to exercise such rights and powers; AND IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING AND WITHOUT LIMITATION THEREOF, BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS LENDER AS THE TRUE AND LAWFUL PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF BORROWER, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION IN THE PREMISES, TO EXERCISE AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT ALL SUCH VOTING, CONSENSUAL AND OTHER RIGHTS AND POWERS TO WHICH ANY HOLDER OF ANY INVESTMENT PROPERTY WOULD BE ENTITLED BY VIRTUE OF HOLDING THE SAME, WHICH PROXY AND POWER OF ATTORNEY, BEING COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST, IS IRREVOCABLE AND SHALL BE EFFECTIVE FOR SO LONG AS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN EFFECT.

k. Borrower acknowledges that any failure to comply with its obligation regarding the Collateral, including (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) collection of the Accounts, shall cause irreparable harm to the Lender for which the Lender has no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that the Lender shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction or other equitable relief to enforce the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement; and

l. In addition to the foregoing, and not in substitution therefor, exercise any one or more of the rights and remedies exercisable by the Lender under other provisions of this Agreement, under

any of the other Loan Documents, or provided by applicable law (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Uniform Commercial Code), including without limitation, generally enforcing any or all of the Borrower’s rights and remedies against any Customers, provided that Lender shall be under no obligation to do so.

9.3 Application of Proceeds. Any proceeds from the collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be applied in the following order of priority:

First, to the payment of all expenses of collecting, storing, leasing, operating, managing, selling or disposing of the Collateral, and to the payment of all sums which the Lender may be required or may elect to pay, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon such Collateral or any part thereof, and of all other payments which the Lender may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document (including in each such case legal costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses);

Second, to the payment of all obligations on the Revolving Loan under this Agreement, and under the other Loan Documents, and to the payment of any other obligations due to the Lender, in such order as the Lender may determine in its sole discretion; and

Third, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of the Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all obligations due to the Lender.

9.4 Collection/Enforcement Costs. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement or defense of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, legal costs and attorneys’ fees (whether or not suit is instituted), paralegal and expert witness fees and costs, and arbitration fees and costs, and in connection with the collection of any sums from Borrower.

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

10.1 Additional Actions and Documents. Borrower shall take or cause to be taken such further actions, shall execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and shall obtain such consents as may be necessary or as the Lender may reasonably request in order fully to effectuate the purposes, terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether before, at or after the closing of transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, including without limitation, executing such documents and taking such further actions as requested by Lender to evidence or perfect the security interest(s) granted in accordance with this Agreement, to maintain a first priority security interest in the Collateral for the benefit of Lender, or to effectuate the rights of Lender hereunder.

10.2 Expenses. Borrower shall, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (i) reimburse the Lender and save the Lender harmless against liability for the payment of all out-of-pocket expenses arising in connection with: (a) the preparation, execution, delivery or filing of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; or (b) the administration, defense or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; or (c) the preservation or exercise of any rights (including the right to collect and dispose of the Collateral) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (ii) pay and hold the Lender and each subsequent holder of the Revolving Note harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp taxes or similar document taxes or recording taxes and any and all charges with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying, or failure to pay, such taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the expenses covered by this paragraph include the Lender’s legal fees, the costs of audits or examinations conducted by the Lender’s employees and any arbitration fees or court costs.

If the Borrower comprises more than one Person, notice to the Borrower at the address specified above in this section for Varsity Group Inc. shall constitute notice to all such Persons, and each Person signing below as the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Varsity Group Inc. as that Person’s agent to receive notices from the Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Each party may designate by notice in writing a new address to which any notice, demand, request or communication thereafter may be so given, served or sent. Each notice, demand, request or communication which is mailed, delivered or transmitted in the manner described above shall be deemed sufficiently given, served, sent or received for all purposes at such time as it is delivered: (i) to the United States Postal Service, in the case of a notice given by certified mail; (ii) to Federal Express or any other commercially recognized overnight delivery service, in accordance with the terms and procedures for such delivery.

Any notices required under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be deemed reasonable if mailed by the Lender to the Persons entitled thereto at their last known address at least ten (10) days prior to disposition of the Collateral and, in the case of a private sale of Collateral, need state only that the Lender intends to negotiate such a sale.

10.4 Severability. If fulfillment of any provision of the Loan Documents or performance of any transaction related thereto, at the time such fulfillment or performance shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then the obligation to be fulfilled or performed shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision contained in any Loan Document operates or would operate prospectively to invalidate any Loan Document, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held ineffective, as though not herein or therein contained, and the remainder of the Loan Documents shall remain operative and in full force and effect.

10.5 Survival. It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that all covenants, agreements, statements, representations, warranties and indemnities made by Borrower in the Loan Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of all Advances and extensions of credit thereunder.

10.6 Waivers. No waiver by the Lender of, or consent by the Lender to, a variation from the requirements of any provision of the Loan Documents shall be effective unless made in a written instrument duly executed on behalf of the Lender by its duly authorized officer, and any such waiver shall be limited solely to those rights or conditions expressly waived.

10.7 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender described in any of the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Lender or the then holder of the Revolving Note otherwise would have at law or in equity or otherwise. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

10.8 Entire Agreement; Modification; Benefit. This Agreement, the Schedules hereto, and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters contemplated herein, supersede all prior oral and written agreements with respect to the matters contemplated herein, and may not be modified, deleted or amended except by written instrument executed by the parties. All terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; however, Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

10.9 Setoff. In addition to any rights or remedies of the Lender provided by law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, or any event or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, at any time or times without prior notice to Borrower, to set off, appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness or claims at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, in such amounts as the Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower to the Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not the Lender has made any demand for payment, and although such obligations and liabilities may be contingent or unmatured.

10.10 Construction. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (excluding the choice of law rules thereof) except to the extent that the UCC provides for either (a) the application of the laws of the state in which Borrower maintains its chief executive office, (b) the application of the laws of the state in which the collateral is located, (c) the application of the laws of the state in which the Debtor is located as determined under the UCC, or (d) otherwise mandates the application of the laws of another state or jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges that all parties hereto participated equally in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that, accordingly, no court construing this Agreement shall construe it more stringently against one party than against the other.

10.11 Pronouns. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the Person may require.

10.12 Headings. Article, section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement for any purpose, and shall not in any way define or affect the meaning, construction or scope of any of the provisions hereof.

10.13 Payments. If any payment or performance of any of the obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest thereon (if applicable) shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

10.14 Execution. To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required; and it shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or the signatures of all Persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart; but it shall be sufficient that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or the signatures of the Persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to produce or account for any particular number of counterparts; but rather any number of counterparts shall be sufficient so long as those counterparts contain the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.

10.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to any provision of this Agreement requiring that disputes be submitted to arbitration, the Borrower irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Maryland over any suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court, or any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Final judgment in any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

10.16 Service of Process. The Borrower consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Borrower’s address specified in or designated in this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that such service (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Borrower in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of the Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the Lender may have to bring proceedings against the Borrower in the courts of any jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

10.17 Sale of Loan Documents; Disclosure of Information. Borrower hereby consents to and agrees that Lender may disclose to any Person any and all information connected with or related to the Loan or other Loan Documents for the purpose of selling or assigning any rights of Lender in the Loan Documents. The information which may be disclosed by Lender includes but is not limited to all Loan Documents, credit files and correspondence files and all other writings and oral communications which Lender wishes to disclose, in its sole and absolute discretion. Borrower also hereby consents to and agrees that Lender may sell or assign any rights of Lender in any or all of the Loan Documents pursuant to such terms and conditions as may be acceptable to Lender in its sole

and absolute discretion, to any interested Person, and nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall prevent, delay or otherwise impede or effect the right of Lender to immediately sell or assign any rights of Lender in the Loan Documents on such terms as it deems acceptable.

10.18 ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This paragraph concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this Agreement; (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this arbitration provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this Agreement.

(b) At the request of any party to this Agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. The arbitration will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class action.

(c) Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this paragraph. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this paragraph shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider or arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, any party to this Agreement may substitute another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.

(d) The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this Agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90 days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed, judgment entered and enforced.

(e) The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the application of the statute of limitations, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) This paragraph does not limit the right of the any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but no limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.

(g) The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration.

(h) By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement for the parties entering into this Agreement.

10.19 Releases. (a) Upon full and complete satisfaction of all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due which are to survive termination of the Agreement), including without limitation, full payment of all amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided Lender has no further obligations under this Agreement to make any further Advance hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, this Agreement shall expire and all obligations under this Agreement (other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) shall terminate. Upon written request of Borrower, confirmation by Lender of the termination of this Agreement will be provided by Lender to Borrower following the termination of the Agreement, all at the sole cost and expense of Borrower.
