Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of any Borrowing (a “Funding Date”) of Revolving LIBOR Loans or Revolving Base Rate Loans, each Lender shall make available its pro rata share of each Revolving Loan in immediately available funds to the Agent, except to the extent such Borrowing is either a reborrowing, in whole or in part, of the principal amount of a maturing Borrowing of Revolving Loans, in which case each Lender shall record the Revolving Loan made by it as a part of such Refunding Borrowing on its books or records or on a schedule to the appropriate Revolving Note, as provided in Section 3.16 hereof, and shall effect the repayment, in whole or in part, as appropriate, of its maturing Revolving Loan through the proceeds of such new Revolving Loan. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Agent shall (i) make the proceeds of each Borrowing available to the Borrower at its account with the Agent or (ii) disburse the proceeds in accordance with the Borrower’s written instructions which are reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

Nothing in this Section 3.8 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its pro rata share of Revolving Loans on the requested date of Borrowing, nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any Revolving Loan hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Revolving Loan. In the event that the applicable conditions for funding set forth hereunder have been satisfied, and a Lender for any reason fails or refuses to fund its pro rata share of a Revolving Loan (the funded portion of such Revolving Loan being hereinafter referred to as a “Non Pro Rata Loan” and such Lender being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”), then, until such time as such Defaulting Lender has fully funded its pro rata share of the subject Revolving Loan or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect of such Non Pro Rata Loan, all of the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non Pro Rata Loans in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its pro rata share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by the Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by the Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender's Commitment), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among the Agent, the Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders and nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of the Borrower to repay all of the Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred or is existing, and notwithstanding any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments.

3.9 Interest Periods. As provided in Section 3.5 hereof, at the time of each request for the Borrowing of Revolving LIBOR Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall select an Interest Period applicable to such Revolving LIBOR Loans from among the available options. The term “Interest Period” means the period commencing on the date a Borrowing of Revolving LIBOR Loans is made and ending on the date, as the Borrower may select, one month, two months or three months thereafter; provided, however, that:

(a) the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Revolving Loan Termination Date;

(b) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, provided, that, if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in the following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(c) for purposes of determining the Interest Period for a Borrowing of Revolving LIBOR Loans, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month in which such an Interest Period is to end or if such an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month.

3.10 Maturity of Revolving LIBOR Loans. Each Revolving LIBOR Loan shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

3.11 Repayment.

(a) Interest under the Revolving Notes shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date applicable to the Revolving Base Rate Loans and the Revolving LIBOR Loans outstanding thereunder. Subject to the Agent’s and the Lenders’ right of acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all principal, interest and other amounts outstanding under the Revolving Notes shall be immediately due and payable on the Revolving Loan Termination Date, without any requirement of notice or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.11(a) hereof, if at any time and for any reason the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Commitment or the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Agent of the existence of, and pay to the Agent the amount of, such excess.

3.12 Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay some or all of the Revolving Loans without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided in Section 3.16 or Section 4.4) and in whole or in part. All prepayments of the Revolving Loans permitted hereunder shall be made on a Business Day upon prior written notice to the Agent which must be received by the Agent (which shall advise each Lender thereof promptly thereafter) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such prepayment in the case of Revolving Base Rate Loans and by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date three Business Days in advance of the date of such prepayment in the case of Revolving LIBOR Loans, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of Revolving LIBOR Loans, accrued interest thereon and any compensation required by Section 3.16 hereof.

3.13 Reborrowings. Any amount paid or prepaid on the Revolving Loans before the Revolving Loan Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again from time to time.

3.14 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to such other and further rights and remedies as provided by law or under any of the Loan Documents, each Revolving Loan or other monetary Obligation shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual days elapsed) from the date such payment was due until such Loan or other monetary Obligation is paid in full, payable on demand at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the Base Rate.

3.15 Record of Borrowings and Payments. Each Lender shall record on its books or records or on a schedule to the appropriate Revolving Note the amount of each Revolving Loan made by it to the Borrower, the Interest Period thereof (if applicable), all payments of principal and interest made by the Borrower, and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the interest rate applicable thereto, and the type of such Revolving Loan. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records of a Lender or on a schedule to any Revolving Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such amounts; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Revolving Loans made hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any Lender and upon such Lender tendering to the Borrower the Revolving Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Revolving Note to such Lender to replace any outstanding Revolving Note and at such time the first notation appearing on a schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such Revolving Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon.

3.16 Funding Indemnity. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Revolving LIBOR Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:

(a) any payment (including prepayment) of a Revolving LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period for any reason, whether before or after an Event of Default, and whether or not such payment is required by any provisions of this Agreement; or

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 6 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow a Revolving LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof, then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed rebuttable presumptive evidence of the correctness thereof.

3.17 Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time after the date hereof any change in applicable Law or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain Revolving LIBOR Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, and such Lender's obligations to make or maintain Revolving LIBOR Loans under this Agreement shall terminate until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Revolving LIBOR Loans. The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Revolving LIBOR Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement.

3.18 Unavailability or Inadequacy of LIBOR. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Revolving LIBOR Loans:

(i) the Agent advises the Borrower that deposits in United States Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Required Lenders advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Revolving LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period, then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Revolving LIBOR Loans shall be suspended.

3.19 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(i) If on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(A) shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to the Revolving Loans, its Revolving Note or its obligation to make Revolving Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments of any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Revolving Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Revolving Loans or its obligation to make Revolving Loans (except for Excluded Taxes); or

(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Revolving LIBOR Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or shall impose on any Lender or on the interbank market any other condition affecting the Revolving Loans, its Revolving Note or such Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Revolving Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Revolving Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction (computed commencing on the effective date of any event mentioned herein). Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to give the Borrower notice of the occurrence of any event mentioned herein.

(ii) If any Lender shall determine that the adoption of or effectiveness after the date hereof of any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any existing Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender (or any of its branches or any entity controlling such Lender (or any of its branches or any entity controlling such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such entity's capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder or for the credit which is the subject matter hereof to a level below that which such Lender or such entity could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such entity's policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy) or as a consequence of an increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender or the Agent (including in each case, without limitation, with respect to the loans or advances made hereunder), then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. Upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.19, such Lender will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error), although any delay in giving any notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligation to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.19.

3.20 Lending Offices. Subject to Section 3.23 below, each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Revolving Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Revolving Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a notice to the Borrower and the Agent.

3.21 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Revolving Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Revolving LIBOR Loan through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market having a maturity corresponding to such Revolving Loan's Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period.

3.22 Late Charge. Without limitation of any other term or provision contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, in the event any principal or interest payment due hereunder or under any of the Revolving Notes or any other Loan Document is not received by the Agent within five days of the applicable due date, the Borrower shall, concurrently with making each such payment, pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders a late charge (the “Late Charge”) equal to five (5%) percent of the amount of the delinquent payment or $25.00, whichever is greater. The Borrower acknowledges that the Late Charge (i) is a material inducement to the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and (ii) represents a reasonable estimate of the costs which will be incurred by the Agent and the Lenders as a result of the additional review, monitoring, administrative and collection efforts occasioned by the delinquent payment. Acceptance by the Agent and the Lenders of payment of a Late Charge shall in no way be construed to be an election of remedies or waiver by the Agent or the Lenders of any of their rights at law or under the terms of this Agreement or the Revolving Notes.

3.23 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 3.16, 3.17 or 3.19, or if any Lender is unable to maintain Revolving LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.19, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate any prohibition on maintaining Revolving LIBOR Loans, or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, or 3.19, as the case may be, in the future.

(b) If any Lender is unable to maintain Revolving LIBOR Loans or requests compensation under Sections 3.16, 3.17, or 3.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.19, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort and provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any payments under Section 4.4 hereof), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 4. FEES.

4.1 Revolving Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a fee equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum multiplied by the difference between the Revolving Commitment and the average daily outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans (the “Revolving Commitment Fee”). The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and shall accrue from the date hereof, to and including, the Revolving Loan Termination Date. The Revolving Commitment Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month.

4.2 Fee Letter. On the Closing Date and thereafter from time to time, the Borrower agrees to pay such fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agent as set forth in the Fee Letter.

4.3 Prepayment Premium. In the event that the Borrower prepays all amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the Revolving Notes (and regardless of whether such pre-payment occurs prior or subsequent to the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, a prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) as follows:

(a) If such prepayment occurs at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Prepayment Premium shall be equal to three percent (3%) of the Revolving Commitment.

(b) If such prepayment occurs at any time after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement but on or prior to the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the Prepayment Premium shall be equal to one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) of the Revolving Commitment.

(c) If such prepayment occurs at any time after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement there shall be no Prepayment Premium.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Section 4.4. are a material inducement for the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and, among other things, make available to the Borrower the Revolving Loans at the rates of interest provided herein.

4.4 Field Exam Fee. Promptly upon demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent a field examination fee in the amount of $850 per man per day plus the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or its representatives in performing each field examination as provided in Section 8.5 hereof.

4.5 Payment Date. If the due date of any payment under this Section 4 would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such fee shall be due and payable for the period of such extension.

SECTION 5.

COLLATERAL PROCEEDS ACCOUNT; PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

5.1 Collateral Proceeds Account. Within three Business Days following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall issue notices, instructing all FCC Borrowers who remit payment on account of their FCC Loans by wire transfer to remit all loan payments to a special bank account maintained with Sovereign Bank, N.A. (the “Collateral Proceeds Account”) over which the Agent shall have sole dominion and control. In addition, the Borrower shall each day wire transfer all collected funds in the Chase Account to the Collateral Proceeds Account. The collected funds in the Collateral Proceeds Account shall be applied by the Agent to reduce the availability under the Borrowing Base and in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.7 hereof.

(b) Promptly following the request of the Agent, the Borrower shall (i) enter into, and request XX Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank to enter into, an account control agreement granting the Agent sole dominion over, and a perfected Lien on, the Chase Account and the Monies in it and/or (ii) direct all FCC Borrowers who make payment of FCC Loans by check or other instrument to remit all future payments on account of such FCC Loans directly to a lockbox over which the Agent shall have sole access and control in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lockbox Agreement to be entered into between the Borrower and the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. Following the execution and delivery of the Lockbox Agreement and implementation of a lockbox, the Agent shall deposit all amounts from the lockbox into the Collateral Proceeds Account.

5.2 Deposits. For purposes of determining the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans under this Agreement, all funds deposited by 12:00 noon (New York time) each day in the Collateral Proceeds Account (the “Deposited Funds”) shall be applied on the same day to reduce the Obligations, and all funds deposited in the Collateral Proceeds Account after 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be applied on the next succeeding Business Day to reduce the Obligations.

5.3 Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans and all payments of fees and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be made to the Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) at the principal office of the Agent (or such other location as the Agent may designate to the Borrower) for the ratable account of the Lenders except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 of this Agreement. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, without setoff or counterclaim.

5.4 Distribution of Payments; Right to Charge/Set-off. The Agent, in accordance with Section 11.3 hereof, will cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on the Revolving Loans or fees ratably to the Lenders (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 of this Agreement) and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Alternatively, in its sole discretion, the Agent may charge against or debit any deposit account or other Monies of the Borrower on deposit with or in possession of the Agent, including without limitation, the Collateral Proceeds Account, all or any part of any amount due hereunder or under the Revolving Notes. The Agent's and each Lender's right from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder to set off indebtedness owing by the Borrower to the Lenders against Monies, deposits, credits, accounts or other property owned by the Borrower now or at any time in the possession or control of the Agent or any Lender is hereby acknowledged and agreed to by the Borrower.

7.1 Corporate Structure; Business Locations. The Borrower is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the state of its incorporation and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each and every state in which the conduct of its business or the location of its properties requires such qualification.

8.22 Inconsistent or Restrictive Agreements. The Borrower shall not, and shall not suffer, cause or permit the Guarantors to, enter into any agreement which would violate, or cause a breach of, this Agreement or any Loan Documents or the performance by the Borrower of any obligation hereunder or thereunder or which prohibits or would prohibit the creation, incurrence or assumption of any Lien on any of the Collateral.

8.23 Guarantees. The Borrower shall not, and shall not suffer, cause or allow the Guarantors to, assume, guarantee, endorse, contingently agree to purchase or otherwise become liable upon the obligation of any Person, firm or entity except by the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

10.1 Termination of Commitment; Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent may, and, upon the written request of the Required Lenders shall, by written notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of the Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against the Borrower, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement (provided, that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.5 hereof, the actions provided for in clauses (i) and (ii) below shall occur automatically without the giving of any notice): (i) declare the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Commitment of each Lender shall forthwith terminate immediately and all amounts due to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall forthwith become due and payable without any other notice of any kind; (ii) declare the principal of and accrued interest in respect of all Revolving Loans and all Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder to be, whereupon the same shall become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and/or (iii) enforce, as Agent, any or all of the remedies created pursuant to the Loan Documents and take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.2 Rights of Secured Creditor. The Agent and the Lenders shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies given to them under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes and the other Loan Documents, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction and all rights and remedies allowed by all applicable Laws, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive, to the extent permitted by said Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and the Lenders may, without any requirement of notice, setoff any and all amounts owing by the Borrower or any Guarantor to it against any deposit account or any other collateral and property of the Borrower or any Guarantor which may now or hereafter be in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of any Lender or the Agent or any of their affiliates, or in transit to any of them, and such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon such stated or accelerated maturity as aforesaid even though such setoff is not noted on the records of such Lender or the Agent until a later time. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE ANY LENDER OR THE AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY OF THEIR RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS, COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. In addition to all such rights and remedies, the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by the Agent after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Agent or any Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by Law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations then owing. Any sale of the Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause any Collateral to remain on the Borrower's premises, at the Borrower's expense, pending sale or other disposition of such Collateral. The Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower's premises, at the Borrower's expense, or elsewhere on such occasion or occasions as the Agent may see fit.

10.3 Entry Upon Premises; Access. If an Event of Default then exists, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, the Agent may take possession of any or all of the Collateral, wherever it might be found and for that purpose, the Agent shall have the right to enter upon the premises of the Borrower where the Collateral is located (or is believed to be located) without any obligation to pay rent to the Borrower, or any other place or places under the control of the Borrower where the Collateral is believed to be located and kept, and remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of the Agent or any agent of the Agent, for such time as the Agent may desire, in order to effectively collect or liquidate the Collateral, and/or the Agent may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Agent. If an Event of Default then exists, the Agent shall have the right to obtain access to the Borrower's data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the Agent deems appropriate which is related to the preservation or disposition of the Collateral or to the collection of the Obligations.

10.4 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral. Any notice required to be given by the Agent of a sale, lease or other disposition or other intended action by the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral which is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid and duly addressed to the Borrower at the address specified in Section 12.13, at least ten days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to the Borrower of any such action. The net proceeds realized by the Lenders upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like and the attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agent or the Lenders in connection therewith, shall be applied as provided herein toward satisfaction of the Obligations. The Lenders shall account to the Borrower for any surplus realized upon any such sale or other disposition, and the Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect the Agent's Lien on the Collateral until the Obligations are fully paid. The Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other parties. To the extent the Borrower has the power, without violating the terms of any agreement existing as of the Closing Date, to grant such a license, the Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, the Borrower's labels, patents, production certificates, type certificates, supplemental certificates, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, tradestyles, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral.

10.5 Collection of Loans Receivable. After an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, in addition to and without limiting any other rights of the Agent with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Agent is authorized and empowered (which authorization and power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the last to occur of termination of this Agreement and payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations) in its sole and absolute discretion:

(i) To endorse in the Borrower's name or any Guarantor’s name and to collect any chattel paper, checks, notes, drafts, instruments or other items of payment tendered to or received by the Agent in payment of any Loan Receivable included in the Collateral;

(ii) To notify, either in the Agent's name, the Borrower's name or any Guarantor’s name, and/or to require the Borrower to notify, any FCC Borrower or any other Person obligated under or in respect of any Loan Receivable included in the Collateral, of the fact of the Agent's Lien thereon and of the collateral assignment thereof to the Agent;

(iii) To direct, either in the Agent's name, the Borrower's name or any Guarantor’s name, and/or to require the Borrower or any Guarantor to direct, any FCC Borrower or other Person obligated under or in respect of any Loan Receivable to make payment of any amounts due or to become due thereunder or with respect thereto directly to the Collateral Proceeds Account or as the Agent shall otherwise direct; and

(iv) To demand, collect, surrender, release or exchange all or part of any Loan Receivable or any amounts due thereunder or with respect thereto, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the initial period) any and all sums which are now or may hereafter become due or owing upon or with respect to any Loan Receivable included in the Collateral, or enforce, by suit or otherwise, payment or performance of any receivable either in the Agent's own name or in the name of the Borrower or any Guarantor.

Under no circumstances shall the Agent be under any duty to act in regard to any of the foregoing matters. The costs and expenses relating to any of the foregoing matters, including reasonable attorneys' fees and out-of-pocket expenses, shall be borne solely by the Borrower whether the same are incurred by the Agent or the Borrower.

10.6 Rescission. If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Revolving Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by laws, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Revolving Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived by the Required Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Required Lenders may elect, in their sole discretion, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Required Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

10.7 Application of Payments. All monies received by the Agent or any of the Lenders from the exercise of any rights or remedies shall, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, be applied as follows:

A. First, to the payment of all reasonable expenses (to the extent not paid by the Borrower) actually incurred by the Agent or any of the Lenders in connection with the exercise of such rights or remedies, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of collection, attorneys' fees and court costs, all costs incurred by the Agent or any of the Lenders directly or indirectly in carrying out the terms, covenants and agreements contained in any Loan Document, together with interest thereon as provided therein, and all other costs and expenses described in Section 8.A.6 hereof;

B. Next, to the payment of any outstanding fees due to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder or any other Loan Document;

C. Next, to the payment of interest then accrued and unpaid on the Revolving Notes, ratably to each Lender in accordance with its pro rata share;

D. Next, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Notes, ratably to each Lender in accordance with its pro rata share;

E. Next, to all of the other Obligations, ratably in the proportion which such other Obligations owed to the Agent or a Lender bears to all such other Obligations; and

F. The surplus, if any, unless a court of competent jurisdiction decrees otherwise, to the holder(s) of any junior liens and to the Borrower, as appropriate.

10.8 Right to Transfer Collateral. The Agent may transfer Collateral into its name or that of its nominee and may receive the income and any distributions thereon and hold the same as Collateral for the Obligations, or apply the same to any defaulted obligation whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.

10.9 Bank Costs. The Borrower also agrees to pay all Bank Costs incurred with respect to the collection of any of the Obligations and the enforcement of the rights of any Lender or the Agent hereunder.

SECTION 11. AGENCY PROVISIONS.

11.1 Appointment.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Sovereign Bank, N.A., as Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 11.1

(b) The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (other than as expressly set forth in Section 11.9 or in Section 11.13 of this Agreement). In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as Agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of fiduciary, agency or trust with or for the Borrower.

11.2 Nature of Duties. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to impose upon the Agent any obligation in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. In no event shall the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to any liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents unless the Agent is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to the Agent with respect thereto. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and the continuance of the Revolving Loans and its Commitment hereunder, and made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect to the Borrower, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.

11.3 Distribution; Application; Apportionment. Not less than once during each week, or more frequently at the Agent’s election (each a “Settlement Date”), the Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone, telecopy or email of the amount of each Lender’s pro rata share of all principal, interest and fees received by the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders since the prior Settlement Date. Such payments received by the Agent shall be paid to the Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day following each Interest Payment Date, provided that the Agent shall pay to such Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Open Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Revolving Loans, from the next Business Day following receipt (or deemed receipt) of such funds by the Agent until such funds are paid to such Lenders. Payments received by the Agent after 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next Business Day. So long as there does not exist an Event of Default, all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Revolving Loans and any Late Charges with respect thereto, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement, and all payments in respect of any other Obligations shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective pro rata shares or otherwise as provided herein. The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate counterpart signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Acceptance, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided, that, the Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including without limitation instructions from the Required Lenders or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may elect, in writing, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or any other Person.

11.4 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither the Agent, any Affiliate of the Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants, shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that the Agent shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its express obligations hereunder. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 11.3 of this Agreement, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or for the financial condition of the Borrower. The Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning or to ascertain either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the Borrower, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the property of the Borrower. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

11.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, other than a default in the payment of principal or interest on the Revolving Loans hereunder unless it has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall in its sole discretion deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders.

11.6 Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

11.7 Indemnification. To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's pro rata share; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, administration, or enforcement of or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under any Loan Document. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.7 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In the event that after payment and distribution of any amount by the Agent to the Lenders, any Lender or third-party, including the Borrower, any creditor of the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from the Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to the Agent or disbursed by the Agent to the Lenders, then the Lenders, in proportion to their respective pro rata shares, shall reimburse the Agent for all such amounts.

11.8 Agent Individually. With respect to its pro rata share of the Revolving Commitments hereunder and the Revolving Loans made by it, the Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto.

11.9 Successor Agent; Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to this Sections 11.9. Upon any such notice of resignation by the Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30 Business Day period, the retiring Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent.

11.10 Authorization to Enter Into Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

11.11 Authorization to Act. The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Agent's Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

11.12 Authorization to Release Lien. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations which have matured and which the Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Borrower shall certify to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which the Borrower or any Guarantor did not own an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Agent at the direction of all the Lenders. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.12.

11.13 Confirmation of Agent’s Authority. Without in any manner limiting the Agent's authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by all Lenders (as set forth in Sections 10.1, 11.5 and 11.12 hereof), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Borrower, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Agent under clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 11.12 above. So long as no Event of Default is then existing, upon receipt by the Agent of any such written confirmation from all the Lenders of its authority to release any particular items or types of Collateral, and in any event upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five 5 Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon such Collateral; provided, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower in respect of) all rights and interests retained by the Agent or any Lender, including without limitation, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

11.14 No Obligations Regarding Collateral. The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 11.14 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent's own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender.

11.15 Announcements. The Borrower and each Lender hereby authorize the Agent with reasonable input from the Borrower and the Lenders to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders, including, without limitation, announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as the Agent may deem appropriate with reasonable input from the Borrower and the Lenders.

11.16 Actions Against Collateral. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder with respect to exercising claims against or rights in any Collateral without the consent of the Required Lenders.

Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance of the Assignment and Acceptance, and upon the effective date specified therein, (a) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (b) the Lender-assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the execution, delivery, approval and acceptance of the Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee equal to $3,500; provided, however, that no administrative fee shall be required if the assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender-assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under, any Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements and such other Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) the assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Document as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to on the counterpart signature pages hereof a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record the names and addresses of each Lender and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, such Lender from time to time. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the records of the Agent as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee and its receipt of the administrative fee pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof, if applicable, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been properly completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders.

(e) Without the requirement of any prior consent by or prior notice to the Borrower or any Guarantor, each Lender may grant participations in all or any portion of its interest in the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Notes and/or such Lender’s obligation to lend monies hereunder to one or more institutions or other persons; provided, however, that in such event, (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement, (iv) the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to voting rights under this Agreement except for voting rights with respect to the amendment or modification of those provisions of this Agreement for which the consent of all Lenders would be required; provided, however, if and to the extent a Lender sells a participation in all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of such Lender, such Affiliate shall be entitled to full voting rights hereunder and such Lender shall relinquish its voting rights hereunder; and (v) any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 3.16 but shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under such Section than the Lender granting such participation would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred. No such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section 12.1(e). Any Lender may furnish to any prospective participant with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving Notes or any prospective transferee/assignee of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents any information concerning the Borrower in such Lender’s possession from time to time, provided that such Lender shall require such prospective participant or transferee/assignee to maintain the confidentiality of any information that is proprietary or confidential.

The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Guarantors to execute such notes, agreements and other documents which may be necessary in order to effectuate any such assignment, sale or transfer by any Lender and shall otherwise take all actions and steps as may be necessary to consummate such assignment or transfer. Upon the execution and delivery of appropriate assignment documentation, amendments and any other documentation required by any Lender or the Agent in connection with such assignment, and the payment by assignee of the purchase price agreed to by such Lender-assignor and assignee, such assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of such Lender-assignor hereunder (and under any and all other Loan Documents executed in connection herewith) to the extent that such rights and obligations have been assigned by the Lender-assignor pursuant to the assignment documentation between such Lender-assignor and assignee, and the Lender-assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder to a corresponding extent.

(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, any Lender or the Agent may at any time and from time to time pledge, endorse, assign, or transfer all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents, including any portion of the Revolving Notes to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act. 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or enforcement thereof shall release any Lender or the Agent from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

12.2 Ratable Sharing. Subject to Sections 3.8 and 11.3 of this Agreement and unless otherwise specifically stated herein, the Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their pro rata shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Obligations or the Collateral, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, set-off, banker's lien or otherwise (all of which rights are expressly acknowledged by the Borrower), receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the obligations held by it which is greater than its pro rata share of the payments on account of the Obligations, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their pro rata shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participation shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 12.2 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

12.3 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise required by Law, each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or the Revolving Notes shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment hereunder, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (excluding any such tax imposed on the overall net income of any Lender or its Lending Office). If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender or the Agent would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent or that Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Agent on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

(b) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under § 1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the "Regulations")) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code. The term "Withholding Certificate" means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under § 1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in §1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each Lender, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower under the Revolving Loans for the account of such Lender; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. Notwithstanding the submission of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code.

12.4 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document shall be effective without the written agreement of the Required Lenders (after notice to all Lenders, which notice may be oral) and the Borrower, and no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Required Lenders (after notice to all Lenders, which notice may be oral), which the Required Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. The Required Lenders and the Agent may, from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement, the Revolving Notes or the Loan Documents executed by the Borrower, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of the Lenders, the Agent or the Borrower thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Default or Event of Default thereunder. Each such amendment, modification, waiver or supplemental agreement approved by or entered into by the Required Lenders and the Agent shall be binding upon each Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Agent, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Required Lenders, may extend the Borrower’s time to comply with any non-financial covenants for up to fifteen (15) Business Days; and (b) the waiver of an Event of Default described in Section 9.1 or any Event of Default relating to the Borrower’s financial covenants under Section 8.1, or any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision relating to any of the following (each a “Major Event”) shall be effective only if consented to or approved by or on behalf of all Lenders:

(i) any increase of the Revolving Commitments, any Lender's Commitment or the final maturity of the Revolving Loans;

(ii) any reduction of interest rates applicable to the Revolving Loans;

(iii) the forgiveness of any amount payable or receivable by the Lenders under Sections 2, 3, 4 or 5 hereof;

(iv) the definition of “Required Lenders”;

(v) release any Collateral from the Agent’s Lien, excluding any Collateral which is permitted to be sold or otherwise disposed of by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(vi) the consent required to release any Guarantor;

(vii) any change to Section 12.12 hereof permitting the Borrower to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of fewer than all the Lenders;

(viii) any modification to the definition “Borrowing Base”;

(ix) any modification of any duties or obligations of the Agent hereunder; and

(x) the provisions contained in this Section 12.4.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 11 hereof or any other provision referring to the Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Agent. The Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.4 shall be binding on each Lender and each assignee, transferee or recipient of the Agent's or any Lender's Commitment or the Loans at the time outstanding.

12.5 Assignment to Agent. In the event that the Agent requests the consent of a Lender hereunder and such consent is denied, then the Agent may, in its sole discretion, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and interests hereunder (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Revolving Loans owing to it), to the Agent or a designated Lender for a price equal to the Lender’s pro rata share of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due to such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid to such Lender when collected from the Borrower. If the Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its rights and interest to the Agent or a designated Lender, the Agent shall so notify such Lender within 45 days following the Lender’s denial of such consent, and the Lender shall assign its rights and interest by no later than five Business Days following receipt of such notice by execution and delivery of an Assignment and Acceptance.

12.6 Discretionary Advances.

(a) Notwithstanding (a) the existence of an Event of Default, (b) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent to making of Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement have not been satisfied, or (c) any other provision of this Agreement, the Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Loans at any time to exceed the Borrowing Base by up to ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base for up to sixty (60) consecutive days (the “Out-of-Formula Revolving Loans”), provided that, the principal amount of all outstanding Out-of-Formula Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitment. If the Agent is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to make such Out-of-Formula Revolving Loans, such Out-of-Formula Revolving Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Base Rate; provided, however, if the Lenders do make Out-of-Formula Revolving Loans, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits for Revolving Loans specified in Section 2.1 hereof. For purposes of this Section 12.6(a), the discretion granted to the Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Borrowing Base was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible Accounts Receivable” becomes ineligible, collections of Accounts Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Loans are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event the Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Loans to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall repay such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Loans made after the Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(b) In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Loans permitted in Section 12.6(a), the Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof have not been satisfied, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolving Loans do not exceed the lesser of (i) one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Borrowing Base, or (ii) the Revolving Commitment.

12.7 Usury. The Borrower shall not be obligated to pay and no Lender nor the Agent shall collect interest at a rate higher than the maximum permitted by law or the maximum that will not subject any Lender or the Agent to any civil or criminal penalties. If, because of the acceleration of maturity the payment of interest in advance or any other reason, the Borrower is required, under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under such provisions shall immediately and automatically be reduced to such maximum rate and any payment made in excess of such maximum rate, together with interest thereon at the rate provided herein from the date of such payment, shall be immediately and automatically applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note as of the date on which such excess payment was made. If the amount to be so applied to reduction of the unpaid principal balance exceeds the unpaid principal balance, the amount of such excess shall be refunded by such Lender or the Agent to the Borrower.

12.8 Merger and Integration Clause. This Agreement and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and specifically supersedes in its entirety all other proposals, discussions, representations or prior agreements or understandings with respect to the terms of credit facilities hereunder or any other matter which is the subject matter of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

This Agreement, the Revolving Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be construed and interpreted in such manner as to be effective, enforceable and valid under all applicable Laws. If any provision of this Agreement, the Revolving Notes or the other Loan Documents shall be held invalid, prohibited or unenforceable under any applicable Laws of any applicable jurisdiction, such invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability shall be limited to such provision and shall not affect or invalidate the other provisions hereof or thereof or affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, and to that extent, the provisions hereof and thereof are severable.

The Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any Indemnified Liabilities from time to time within 30 days after demand.

REVOLVING NOTE

$___________

June __, 2013

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FULL CIRCLE CAPITAL CORPORATION (the “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay on or before the Revolving Loan Termination Date (as defined in that certain Credit Agreement dated June __, 2013 (as the same may be amended hereafter, the “Agreement”) by and among Sovereign Bank, N.A. as agent (the “Agent”), the lenders party or signatory thereto and the Borrower), to the order ____________________(the “Lender”), at the office of the Agent located at 00 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, or at such other location as the Agent shall designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of the lesser of (i) ______________________00/100 Dollars ($_____________), or (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Agreement. Terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

The Borrower further agrees to pay interest in like money at such office on the unpaid principal amount hereof from time to time at a rate or rates per annum and at such times as are provided in the Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.16 and 4.4 of the Agreement, this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at one time or from time to time, without premium or penalty in accordance with the provisions set forth therein.

In the event the Agent receives a payment of interest or principal within five (5) Business Days after its due date, such payment shall be subject to a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of the amount of the delinquent payment or $25.00, whichever is greater. The Borrower acknowledges that such late charge (i) is a material inducement to the Agent and the Lender to enter into the Agreement and (ii) represents a reasonable estimate of the costs which will be incurred by the Agent and the Lender as a result of the additional review, monitoring, administrative and collection efforts occasioned by the delinquent payment. Acceptance by the Agent and the Lender of payment of the late charge shall in no way be construed to be an election of remedies or waiver by the Agent or the Lender of any of their rights at law or under the terms of this Note or the Agreement.

This Note is secured by the Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Agreement, this Note may, in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Agreement, become immediately due and payable if any of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing:

(1) Failure by the Borrower to make any payment of (a) principal or (b) interest, fees or other amounts due under this Note, on the date when due or within five (5) Business Days of any date when due; or

(2) An Event of Default (as defined therein) shall have occurred under the Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent may, in addition to such other and further rights and remedies as provided by law or under any of the Loan Documents, collect interest on such overdue amount from the date of such maturity until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. The Borrower acknowledges that: (i) the Default Rate is a material inducement to the Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Commitment; (ii) the Lender would not make the Revolving Loans in the absence of the agreement of the Borrower to pay the Default Rate; (iii) the Default Rate represents compensation for increased risk to the Lender that the Revolving Loans will not be repaid; and (iv) the Default Rate is not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of (a) the cost to the Lender in allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the ongoing review, monitoring, administration and collection of the Revolving Loans and (b) compensation to the Lender for losses that are difficult to ascertain.

This Note is the Revolving Note referred to in, and evidences certain indebtedness incurred by the Borrower to the Lender under, the Agreement, to which reference is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the due date of this Note or any payment thereon may be accelerated. The holder of this Note is entitled to all of the benefits and security provided in the Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein.

This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

Should the indebtedness represented by this Note or any part hereof be collected at law or in equity, or in bankruptcy, receivership, or any other court proceeding, or should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection upon default, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to the principal and interest due and payable hereon, all reasonable costs of collecting or attempting to collect this Note, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

This Note shall be and remain in full force and effect and in no way impaired until the actual payment thereof to the Lender, its successors or assigns.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt of any such payment by the Lender would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the Lender limiting the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected by the Lender.

The Borrower and all endorsers and guarantors of this Note hereby waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor of this Note.

This Note is binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns.

This Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflict of laws principles.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Revolving Note to be duly executed by its authorized representative as of the day and year above written.
