and prepared by an appraiser satisfactory to Bank.

Agreement.
2.2 Collections Account.
2.2.1 Collections Account. Borrower shall establish a lockbox under the control of
Bank to which all Account Debtors shall forward payments on the Accounts. Borrower shall pay all of
Bank’s standard fees and charges in connection with such lockbox arrangement and Collections
Account as such fees and charges may change from time to time.
21
Borrower shall notify Account Debtors on the Accounts to forward payments on the Accounts to
the lockbox; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continue of an Event of
Default, Bank shall have the right to directly contact Account Debtors at any time to ensure that
payments on the Accounts are directed to the lockbox. All payment items received by Borrower on
Accounts and sale of Inventory and other Collateral shall be held by Borrower in trust for Bank and
not commingled with Borrower’s funds and shall be deposited promptly by Borrower to the Collections
Account. All such items shall be the exclusive property of Bank upon the earlier of the receipt
thereof by Bank or by Borrower. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in and lien upon
all items and balances held in any lockbox, the Disbursements Account and the Collections Account

any checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment which come into Bank’s possession or
control; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations

deemed to have been made by Borrower (prior to any subsequent endorsement by Bank) in negotiation
of the item.
2.2.3 Application of Payments. Payment items received shall be deposited into the
Collections Account, subject to chargebacks for uncollected payment items, and if no Event of
Default exists and no Revolver Loans are then outstanding or have been repaid, Bank shall pay over
such of the proceeds of such payments to a Deposit Account maintained by Borrower at Bank and
designated in writing by Borrower. All funds deposited into the Collections Account on any Business
Day shall be deemed to have been applied by Bank, for interest calculation purposes and for the
purpose of determining the availability of Revolver Loans hereunder, one (1) Business Day following
deposit of such funds, to reduce the then outstanding balance of the Revolver Loans and to pay
accrued interest thereon and to pay any other outstanding Obligations which are then due and
payable hereunder. All amounts received directly by Borrower from any Account Debtor, in addition
to all other cash received from any other source including but not limited to proceeds from any
realization on any Collateral (but excluding the proceeds of any Revolver Loans made hereunder)
shall be held by Borrower pursuant to an express trust (which is hereby created) for the benefit of
Bank, shall be held by Borrower separate and segregated from all other funds of Borrower and shall
be deposited into the Collection Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by
Borrower. No payment item received by Bank shall constitute payment to Bank until such item is
actually collected by Bank and credited to the Collections Account; provided, however, that Bank
shall have the right to charge back to the Collections Account (or any other account of Borrower
maintained at Bank) an item which is returned for inability to collect, plus accrued interest
during the period of Bank’s provisional credit for such item prior to receiving notice of dishonor.

as a consequence of (a) Borrower’s failure to make any payment when due on a LIBOR Loan, (b) any
payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period, or (c) any failure to make a borrowing or conversion of a LIBOR Loan after giving
notice thereof, in each case whether voluntarily, by reason of acceleration or otherwise
(“Indemnified Loss or Expense”). The amount of such Indemnified Loss or Expense shall be determined
by Bank based upon the assumption that Bank funded 100% of the applicable LIBOR Loan in the London
interbank market.

for that Loan.
2.4.2 LIBOR Loan. When a LIBOR Loan is selected, such interest rate shall be fixed for

proposed Revolver Loan or permitted rate conversion not later than 11:00 a.m. (local time in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) (a) on the same business day as each proposed Loan or rate conversion
to a Prime Rate Loan and (b) at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days before each proposed Loan at or
rate conversion to a LIBOR Loan. For each Revolver Loan each such notice shall specify (i) the date

LIBOR Business Day and, in the case of a conversion from a LIBOR Loan, shall be the last day of an
Interest Period, (ii) the amount of each Loan or the amount to be converted, (iii) the interest
rate selected by Borrower from the interest rate options set forth in this Agreement, and (iv)

11:00 a.m. (local time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) shall be deemed received on the next Business
Day. Bank’s acceptance of such a request shall be indicated by its making the Loan requested. Such
a Loan shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds by deposit into the
Disbursement Account. Borrower may not request any LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default
exists. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time exceed four (4). Each
LIBOR Loan requested shall be in a

the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether
as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges owed to Bank or any Affiliate of Bank) shall
be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without the requirement for the submission of a Notice of
Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such
Obligations, and Bank may disburse the proceeds of such Revolver Loans by way of direct payment of
the relevant Obligations, and such Revolver Loans shall bear interest as Prime Rate Loans.
(b) Subject to Section 2.5.2(c) below, the presentation for payment of any check or other item
of payment drawn on the Disbursement Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such
account to cover such item shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for
the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation in an
amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment, and Bank may disburse the
proceeds of such Revolver Loans to the Disbursement Account and such Revolver Loans shall bear

Revolver Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed the lesser of the Revolver
Commitment and the Borrowing Base at such time or when any condition precedent in Section 3.2
hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion and without regard to the existence of,
and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default.
2.5.3 Excess Outstandings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Revolver Loans which, when added to the

evidenced by the Revolver Note, (b) bear interest as provided herein, (c) be payable upon demand by
Bank, and (d) be secured by the Collateral and be entitled to all rights and security as provided

and/or make Revolver Loans to Borrower (whether or not in excess of the lesser of the Revolver
Commitment and the Borrowing Base) and apply such amounts to the payment of interest, fees,

rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required to
be maintained by Bank or any corporation controlling Bank as a consequence of, or with reference
to, the Revolver Commitment and other commitments of this type, below the rate which Bank or such
other corporation could have achieved by for such introduction, change or compliance, then within

such reduction; provided, however, Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate Bank under this

duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its

to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on it. Each of Borrower and each other
Person which is a party to any Loan Document (other than Bank) has the power to make and perform
the Loan Documents executed by it and all such instruments will constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Person, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject
only to bankruptcy and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. Borrower is organized
under the laws of Delaware and has not changed the jurisdiction of its organization within the five
years preceding the date hereof except as previously reported to Bank in writing.

agency or any provision of the governing instruments of such Person, and do not and will not, with
the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a breach of, or constitute a default or
require any consent under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of
such Person pursuant to, any law, regulation, instrument or agreement to which any such Person is a
party or by which any such Person or its respective properties may be subject, bound or affected.
4.3 Financial Condition. Other than as disclosed in financial statements delivered on

unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of such Person. All such financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of Borrower
or Subsidiary, as the case may be, as of the date thereof. Borrower is not aware of any material
adverse fact (other than facts which are generally available to the public and not particular to
Borrower, such as general economic trends) concerning the conditions or future prospects of
Borrower or any Subsidiary which has not been fully disclosed to Bank, including any adverse change
in the operations or financial condition of such Person since the date of the most recent financial
statements delivered to Bank. Borrower is Solvent, and after consummation of the transactions set

which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, under
any of the terms or provisions of any part thereof, or under any order, decree, ruling, regulation,
closing agreement or other decision or instrument of any governmental commission, bureau or other
administrative agency or public regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Person, which default
would have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as noted herein, no approval, consent or authorization

8.2 Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur, Bank may, without notice to
Borrower, at its option, withhold further Loans or other extensions of credit to Borrower. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Bank may at its option take any or all of
the following actions:
(a) Bank may declare any or all Obligations (other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements,
between Borrower and Bank or any Affiliate of Bank, which shall be due in accordance with and
governed by the provisions of said Swap Agreements) to be immediately due and payable (if not
earlier demanded), terminate its obligation to make Loans and other extensions of credit to
Borrower, reduce the maximum amount of Revolver Loans available to Borrower, bring suit against
Borrower to collect the Obligations, exercise any remedy available to Bank hereunder or at law and
take any action or exercise any remedy provided herein or in any other Loan Document or under
applicable law. No remedy shall be exclusive of other remedies or impair the right of Bank to
exercise any other remedies.
(b) Without waiving any of its other rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Bank
shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (and the Uniform Commercial
Code of any other applicable jurisdiction) and such other rights and remedies as may be available
hereunder, under other applicable law or pursuant to contract. If requested by Bank, Borrower will
promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank.
Borrower agrees that any notice by Bank of the sale or disposition of the Collateral or any other
intended action hereunder, whether required by the Code or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable
notice to Borrower if the notice is mailed to Borrower by regular or certified mail, postage
prepaid, at least five days before the action to be taken. Borrower shall be liable for any
deficiencies in the event the proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral do not satisfy the
Obligations in full.
(c) Bank may demand, collect and xxx for all amounts owed pursuant to Accounts, General
Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents or for
52
proceeds of any Collateral (either in Borrower’s name or Bank’s name at the latter’s option),
with the right to enforce, compromise, settle or discharge any such amounts.
8.3 Receiver. In addition to any other remedy available to it, Bank shall have the
absolute right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to seek and obtain the appointment of a
receiver to take possession of and operate and/or dispose of the business and assets of Borrower
and any costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with such receivership shall bear
interest at the Default Rate, at Bank’s option, and shall be secured by all Collateral.
8.4 Deposits. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower authorizes Bank to
collect and apply against the Obligations when due any cash or Deposit Accounts in its possession.
8.5 Insurance. At its option, Bank may apply any insurance proceeds received by Bank
at any time to the cost of repairs or replacement of Collateral and/or to payment of the
Obligations, whether or not then due, in any order and in such manner as Bank may determine or hold
such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations, except that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Equipment is physically damaged or destroyed,
upon the written request of Borrower, Bank shall release the net cash proceeds from insurance
received by Bank pursuant to this Section 8.5 to Borrower as a result of such damage or destruction
to the extent necessary for the repair, refurbishing or replacement of such Equipment,
provided, that, each of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) no Event of
Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing at the time immediately before or after
giving effect to such release, (ii) such proceeds shall be used solely to repair, refurbish or
replace the property so damaged or destroyed (free and clear of any security interests, liens,
claims or other encumbrances), (iii) the repair, refurbishing or replacement of the property so
damaged or destroyed shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practicable and shall be diligently
pursued to satisfactory completion, (iv) the proceeds shall be held by Bank as cash collateral for
the Obligations and shall be disbursed from such cash collateral from time to time as needed
and/or, at Bank’s option, released by Bank directly to the contractor, subcontractor, materialmen,
laborers, engineers, architects and other Persons rendering services or materials to repair,
refurbish or replace the property so damaged or destroyed, (v) the amount of the insurance proceeds
and Borrower’s unrestricted cash available for such purposes are sufficient in Bank’s reasonable
determination, to allow Borrower to effect such repair, refurbishing or replacement in a
satisfactory manner, (vi) the repair, refurbishing or replacement to which the proceeds are applied
shall cause the Equipment so damaged or destroyed to be of at least equal value and substantially
the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, (vii) the casualty shall have resulted
in payment of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) in insurance proceeds or less, and
(viii) such repair, refurbishing or replacement can, in the good faith estimate of Bank, be
completed prior to the end of the then current term of this Agreement. Upon completion of the work
and payment in full therefor, or upon the failure to commence, or diligently to continue the work
or the replacement of the Collateral, Bank may, at Bank’s option and after prior notice to
Borrower, either apply the amount of any such proceeds then or thereafter in the possession of Bank
to the payment of the Obligations or hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations,
provided, that, nothing contained herein shall limit the right of Bank to apply any
or all of such proceeds to the Obligations at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have
occurred and be continuing. Bank
53
is granted a power of attorney by Borrower with full power of substitution to file any proof
of loss in Borrower’s or Bank’s name, to endorse Borrower’s name on any check, draft or other
instrument evidencing insurance proceeds, and to take any action or sign any document to pursue any
insurance loss claim. Such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.
9. Security Agreement.
9.1 Security Interest.
(a) As security for the payment and performance of any and all Obligations and the performance
of all obligations and covenants of Borrower to Bank and its Affiliates, whether hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, Swap Agreements between Bank or any Affiliate of Bank and Borrower
or otherwise, certain or contingent, now existing or hereafter arising, which are now, or may at
any time or times hereafter be owing by Borrower to Bank or any of Bank’s Affiliates, Borrower
hereby grants to Bank (for itself and its Affiliates) a continuing security interest in and general
lien upon and right of set-off against, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the
Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower.
(b) Except as herein or by applicable law otherwise expressly provided, Bank shall not be
obligated to exercise any degree of care in connection with any Collateral in its possession, to
take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in any of the Collateral or to preserve any rights
therein against prior parties, and Borrower agrees to take such steps. In any case Bank shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it shall have taken such steps for the care and
preservation of the Collateral or rights therein as Borrower may have reasonably requested Bank to
take and Bank’s omission to take any action not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure
to exercise reasonable care. No segregation or specific allocation by Bank of specified items of
Collateral against any liability of Borrower shall waive or affect any security interest in or Lien
against other items of Collateral or any of Bank’s options, powers or rights under this Agreement
or otherwise arising.
(c) Bank may at any time and from time to time, with or without notice to Borrower, (i)
transfer into the name of Bank or the name of Bank’s nominee any of the Collateral, (ii) notify any
Account Debtor or other obligor of any Collateral to make payment thereon direct to Bank of any
amounts due or to become due thereon and (iii) receive and direct the disposition of any proceeds
of any Collateral.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Account, Instrument, Chattel Paper or other
obligation or property of any kind due from, owed by or belonging to, a Sanctioned Person or (ii)
no lease in which the lessee is a Sanctioned Person shall be Collateral or shall be credited toward
the payment of the Obligations.
9.2 Financing Statements; Power of Attorney. Borrower authorizes Bank at Borrower’s
expense to file any financing statements and/or amendments thereto relating to the Collateral
(without Borrower’s signature thereon) which Bank deems appropriate that (a) indicate the
Collateral (i) as “all assets” of Borrower or words of similar effect, if appropriate, regardless
of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of
54
Article 9 of the Code, or (ii) by specific Collateral category, and (b) provide any other
information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office
acceptance of any financing statement or amendment. Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its
attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statements and/or control agreements in Borrower’s
name and to perform all other acts, at Borrower’s expense, which Bank deems appropriate to perfect
and to continue perfection of the security interest of Bank. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to endorse, present and collect on behalf of Borrower and in Borrower’s
name any draft, checks or other documents necessary or desirable to collect any amounts which
Borrower may be owed. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge,
Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks and advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and Borrower’s rights under all
licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit. The proceeds realized from the
sale or other disposition of any Collateral may be applied, after allowing two (2) Business Days
for collection, first to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred
by Bank for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection, removal, storage, sale and
delivering of the Collateral; secondly, to interest due upon any of the Obligations; and thirdly,
to the principal amount of the Obligations and to any other Obligations then outstanding. If any
deficiency shall arise, Borrower shall remain jointly and severally liable to Bank therefor.
9.3 Entry. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to any act by Bank or its agents in
entering upon any premises for the purposes of either (a) inspecting the Collateral or (b) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, taking possession of the Collateral, and in such
event Borrower hereby waives its right to assert against Bank or its agents any claim based upon
trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any premises where the Collateral may be
located. Bank agrees that, if an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, Bank will
provide Borrower with twenty-four (24) hours prior notice of inspections and will conduct
inspections only during normal business hours,
9.4 Other Rights. Borrower authorizes Bank without affecting Borrower’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document from time to time (a) to take from any party and hold
additional Collateral or guaranties for the payment of the Obligations or any part thereof, and to
exchange, enforce or release such collateral or guaranty of payment of the Obligations or any part
thereof and to release or substitute any endorser or guarantor or any party who has given any
security interest in any collateral as security for the payment of the Obligations or any part
thereof or any party in any way obligated to pay the Obligations or any part thereof; and (b) upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default to direct the manner of the disposition of the Collateral
and the enforcement of any endorsements, guaranties, letters of credit or other security relating
to the Obligations or any part thereof as Bank in its sole discretion may determine.
9.5 Accounts. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Bank may notify any Account Debtor of Bank’s security interest and may direct such
Account Debtor to make payment directly to Bank for application against the Obligations. Any such
payments received by or on behalf of Borrower at any time, whether before or after default, shall
be the property of Bank, shall be held in trust for Bank and not
55
commingled with any other assets of any Person (except to the extent they may be commingled
with other assets of Borrower in an account with Bank) and shall be immediately delivered to Bank
in the form received. Bank shall have the right to apply any proceeds of Collateral to such of the
Obligations as it may determine.
9.6 Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to require
marshaling of its assets.
9.7 Control. Borrower will cooperate with Bank in obtaining control of, or control
agreements with respect to, Collateral for which control or a control agreement is required for
perfection of the Bank’s security interest under the Code.
10. Miscellaneous.
10.1 No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are
cumulative and are in addition to any other remedies provided by law, any Loan Document or
otherwise.
10.2 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein
shall survive the making of the Loan hereunder and the delivery of the Note, and shall continue in
full force and effect so long as any Obligations is outstanding, there exists any commitment by
Bank to Borrower, and until this Agreement is formally terminated in writing.
10.3 Indemnity By Borrower; Expenses. In addition to all other Obligations, Borrower
agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Bank and its Affiliates and all of their
respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents from and against any
and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, costs and expenses, and fees,
costs and expenses for investigations and experts) incurred by such indemnitees, whether prior to
or from and after the date hereof, as a result of or arising from or relating to (a) the due

preparation, execution and/or performance of any of the Loan Documents or of any document executed
in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and the perfection of Bank’s Liens in the
Collateral, maintenance of the Loan by Bank, and any and all amendments, modifications, and
supplements of any of the Loan Documents or restructuring of the Obligations, (b) any suit,
investigation, action or proceeding by any Person (other than Borrower), whether threatened or
initiated, asserting a claim for any legal or equitable remedy against any Person under any
statute, regulation or common law principle, arising from or in connection with Bank’s furnishing
of funds to Borrower under this Agreement, (c) Bank’s preservation, administration and enforcement
of its rights under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for Bank in connection therewith, whether suit be brought or not and
whether incurred at trial or on appeal, and all costs of repossession, storage, disposition,
protection and collection of Collateral, (d)
56
periodic field exams, audits and appraisals performed by Bank pursuant to Section 5.5 hereof,
(e) any civil penalty or fine assessed by OFAC against Bank or any Affiliate of Bank and all

defense thereof by Bank or such Affiliate, as a result of the funding of Loans or the extension of
credit, the acceptance of payments due under the Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement or acceptance
of Collateral, and/or (f) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated
thereby, other than for such loss, damage, liability, obligation, penalty, fee, cost or expense
arising from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Borrower should fail to
pay any tax or other amount required by this Agreement to be paid or which may be reasonably
necessary to protect or preserve any Collateral or Borrower’s or Bank’s interests therein, Bank may
make such payment and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand, may at Bank’s option be
debited against any Deposit Account of Borrower at Bank or converted to a Loan hereunder, shall
bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid and shall be deemed to be
Obligations entitled to the benefit and security of the Loan Documents. In addition, Borrower
agrees to pay and save Bank harmless against any liability for payment of any state documentary
stamp taxes, intangible taxes or similar taxes (including interest or penalties, if any) which may
now or hereafter be determined to be payable in respect to the execution, delivery or recording of
any Loan Document or the making of any Loan, whether originally thought to be due or not, and

applicability of such tax. Borrower’s obligation for indemnification for all of the foregoing

laws of another jurisdiction may, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, govern the perfection,
priority and enforcement of security interests in the Collateral.
10.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of Borrower and Bank, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that
Borrower may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, and

interest, the effective interest shall be deemed reduced to, and shall be, such maximum lawful

upon any Collateral or collateral of any surety or guarantor, or any appraisement, evaluation,
stay, extension, homestead, redemption or exemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to
prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement. Borrower, for itself and all who may at any
time claim through or under Borrower, hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by
law the benefit of all such laws. All rights of Bank and all obligations of Borrower hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from any provision of the Loan Documents, (b) any exchange,
release or non-perfection of any other collateral given as security for the Obligations, or any
