LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made on March 28, 2003, by and among FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION (“FCC”, and together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”), a Rhode Island corporation with an office at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, X.X., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000; ARTESYN TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Florida corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 (“Technologies,” individually and, in its capacity as the representative of the other Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, “Borrowers’ Agent”); ARTESYN NORTH AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (“North America”); and ARTESYN COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS, INC., a Wisconsin corporation with its chief executive office and principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Communication Products”). (Technologies, North America and Communication Products are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Appendix A, General Definitions.

R e c i t a l s:

Each Borrower has requested that Lender make available a revolving credit facility to Borrowers, which facility shall be used by Borrowers to finance their mutual and collective business enterprise. In order to utilize the financial powers of each Borrower in the most efficient and economical manner, and in order to facilitate the financing of each Borrower’s needs, Lender will, at the request of any Borrower, make loans to all Borrowers under the credit facilities on a combined basis and in accordance with the provisions hereinafter set forth. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Borrowers believe that the consolidation of all loans under this Agreement will enhance the aggregate borrowing powers of each Borrower and ease the administration of their loan relationship with Lender, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Lender’s willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer each Borrower’s collateral security therefor, on a combined basis as more fully set forth in this Agreement, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request in furtherance of Borrowers’ mutual and collective enterprise.

NOW THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITY

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make a total credit facility of up to $35,000,000 available to Borrowers as follows:

1.1. Revolver Commitment.

1.1.1. Revolver Loans. Lender agrees, to the extent of the Revolver Commitment and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof through the Business Day before the last day of the Term, which Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to Borrowers whatsoever to make any Revolver Loan on or after the Commitment Termination Date or if at the time of the proposed funding thereof the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolver Loans then outstanding and Pending Revolver Loans exceeds, or would exceed after the funding of such Revolver Loan, the Borrowing Base. The Revolver Loans shall bear interest as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. Each Revolver Loan shall, at the option of Borrowers, be made or continued as, or converted into, part of one or more Borrowings that, unless specifically provided herein, shall consist entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans.

1.1.2. Out-of-Formula Loans. If the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at any time should exceed the Borrowing Base at such time (an “Out-of-Formula Condition”), such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and entitled to all of the benefits of the Loan Documents. In the event that Lender is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to make Out-of-Formula Loans, such Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.1.5.

1.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for one or more of the following purposes: (i) to repay to the Agent and Lenders under (and as defined in) the Existing Loan Agreement any Debt outstanding thereunder on the Closing Date; (ii) to pay the fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the transactions described herein; (iii) to pay any of the Obligations; and (iv) for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement or Applicable Law. In no event may any Revolver Loan proceeds be used by Borrowers to purchase or to carry, or to reduce, retire or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose that violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

1.1.4. Revolver Note. The Revolver Loans made by Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Lender and by the Revolver Note. All outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under the Revolver Note shall be due and payable as set forth in Section 4.2 hereof.

1.1.5. Voluntary Reductions of Revolver Commitment. Borrowers shall have the right to permanently reduce the amount of the Revolver Commitment at any time and from time to time upon written notice to Lender of such reduction, which notice shall specify the amount of such reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least 5 Business Days prior to the end of the month and shall be effective only upon Lender’s receipt thereof. The effective date of any voluntary reduction of the Revolver Commitment shall be the first day of a month following the month in which such notice is timely received by Lender. If on the effective date of any such reduction in the Revolver Commitment and after giving effect thereto an Out-of-Formula Condition exists, then the provisions of Section 4.2.1(iii) hereof shall apply, except that any repayments due thereunder shall be due immediately upon such effective date without further notice to or demand upon Borrowers. If the Revolver Commitment is reduced to zero, then such reduction shall be deemed a termination of the Revolver Commitment by Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.2.2 hereof. The Revolver Commitment once reduced may not be reinstated without the written consent of Lender.

1.2. Reserved.

1.3. LC Facility.

1.3.1. Procurement of Letters of Credit. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, Lender agrees to establish the LC Facility, pursuant to which, during the period from the date hereof until (but excluding) the 15th day prior to the last day of the Term and provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall procure from Bank one or more Letters of Credit on Borrowers’ request therefor from time to time, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Borrowers acknowledge that Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Bank’s receipt of (A) the LC Support duly executed and delivered to Bank by Lender, (B) an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit and (C) such other instruments and agreements as Bank may customarily require for the issuance of a letter of credit of equivalent type and amount as the requested Letter of Credit. Lender shall have no obligation to execute any LC Support or to join with Borrowers in executing an LC Application unless (x) Lender receives an LC Request from Borrowers at least 5 Business Days prior to the date on which Borrowers desire to submit such LC Application to Bank and (y) each of the LC Conditions is satisfied on the date of Lender’s receipt of the LC Request and at the time of the requested execution of the LC Application. Any Letter of Credit issued on the Closing Date shall be for an amount in Dollars that is greater than $250,000. In no event shall Lender have any liability or obligation to Borrowers or any Subsidiary for any failure or refusal by Bank to issue, for Bank’s delay in issuing, or for any error of Bank in issuing any Letter of Credit other than due to Lender’s failure or refusal to execute and deliver, or delay in executing and delivering, or for any error in executing or delivering, any LC Support (except for instances in which such failure, refusal or delay is due to the failure of Borrowers to satisfy a condition precedent to the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(ii) Letters of Credit may be requested by Borrowers only if they are to be used (a) to support obligations of Borrowers incurred either in the Ordinary Course of Business or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, on a standby or documentary basis, or (b) for such other purposes as Lender may approve from time to time in writing.

(iii) Borrowers shall comply with all of the terms and conditions imposed on Borrowers by Bank, whether such terms and conditions are contained in an LC Application or in any agreement with respect thereto, and subject to the rights of Bank, Lender shall have the same rights and remedies that Bank has under any agreements that Borrowers may have with Bank in addition to any rights and remedies contained in any of the Loan Documents. Borrowers agree to reimburse Bank for any draw under any Letter of Credit immediately as hereinafter provided, and to pay Bank the amount of all other liabilities and obligations payable to Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against Bank or any other Person. If Lender shall pay any amount under a LC Support with respect to any Letter of Credit, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, in Dollars on the first Business Day following the date on which payment was made by Lender under such LC Support (the “Reimbursement Date”), an amount equal to the amount paid by Lender under such LC Support, together with interest from and after the Reimbursement Date until payment in full is made by Borrowers at the Default Rate for Revolver Loans constituting Base Rate Loans. Until Lender has received payment from Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause(iii), Lender, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, shall be fully subrogated to (A) the rights and remedies of Bank as issuer of the Letter of Credit under any agreement with Borrowers

-3-

relating to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (B) the rights and remedies of each beneficiary under such Letter of Credit whose claims against Borrowers have been discharged with the proceeds of such Letter of Credit. Whether or not a Borrower submits any Notice of Borrowing to Lender, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested from Lender a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay to Lender all amounts due Lender on any Reimbursement Date and whether or not any Default or Event of Default has occurred or exists, the Revolver Commitment has been terminated, the funding of the Borrowing deemed requested by Borrowers would result in, or increase the amount of, any Out-of-Formula Condition or any of the conditions set forth in Section 10 hereof are not satisfied.

(iv) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Lender for any payment made by Lender under the LC Support shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or improper honor by Bank of any draw request under a Letter of Credit. If presentation of a demand, draft, certificate or other document does not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit and Borrowers contend that, as a consequence of such noncompliance it has no obligation to reimburse Bank for any payment made with respect thereto, Borrowers shall nevertheless be obligated to reimburse Lender for any payment made under the LC Support with respect to such Letter of Credit, but without waiving any claim Borrowers may have against Bank in connection therewith. All disputes regarding any Letter of Credit shall be resolved by Borrowers directly with Bank.

(v) No Letter of Credit shall be extended or amended in any respect that is not solely ministerial, unless all of the LC Conditions are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(vi) Borrowers hereby authorize and direct Bank to deliver to Lender all instruments, documents and other writings and Property received by Bank pursuant to or in connection with any Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Lender’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit and the related LC Application.

1.3.2. Cash Collateral Account. If any LC Outstandings, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding (i) at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) on any date that Availability is less than zero, or (iii) on or at any time after the Commitment Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, on Lender’s request, forthwith deposit with Lender, in cash, an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of all LC Outstandings. If Borrowers fail to make such deposit on the first Business Day following Lender’s demand therefor, Lender may advance such amount as Revolver Loans (whether or not an Out-of-Formula Condition is created thereby). Such cash (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be held by Lender in the Cash Collateral Account and may be invested, in Lender’s discretion, in Cash Equivalents. Each Borrower hereby pledges to Lender and grants to Lender a security interest in all Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all Obligations, whether or not then due or payable. From time to time after cash is deposited in the Cash Collateral Account, Lender may apply Cash Collateral then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as Lender may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by Borrowers to Lender or any Lender with respect to the LC Outstandings. Neither Borrowers nor any other Person claiming by, through or under or on behalf of Borrowers shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account, including any accrued interest, provided that upon termination or

-4-

expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the LC Outstandings, any Cash Collateral remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to Borrowers unless an Event of Default then exists (in which event Lender may apply such Cash Collateral to the payment of any other Obligations outstanding, with any surplus to be turned over to Borrowers).

1.3.3. Indemnifications. In addition to any other indemnity which Borrowers may have to Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and without limiting such other indemnification provisions, Borrowers hereby agrees to indemnify and defend each Lender Indemnitee and to hold each of the Lender Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims which any of the Lender Indemnitees (other than as the actual result of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct) incur or be subject to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of (a) the issuance of, payment or failure to pay or any performance or failure to perform under any Letter of Credit or LC Support or (b) any suit, investigation or proceeding as to which Lender is or may become a party to as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any LC Support or the payment or failure to pay thereunder.

SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

2.1. Interest.

2.1.1. Rates of Interest. Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Revolver Loans from the respective dates such principal amounts are advanced until paid (whether at stated maturity, on acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate indicated below:

(i) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as Base Rate Loans, the Applicable Margin for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time; or

(ii) for Revolver Loans made or outstanding as LIBOR Loans, the Applicable Margin for Revolver Loans that are LIBOR Loans plus the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period selected by Borrowers in conformity with this Agreement.

Upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone and, if so requested by Borrowers, confirm the same in writing. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties and for all purposes. The applicable rate of interest for all Revolver Loans (or portions thereof) bearing interest based upon the Base Rate shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, with such adjustments to be effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate becomes effective. Interest on each Revolver Loan shall accrue from and including the date on which such Revolver Loan is made, converted to a Revolver Loan of another Type or continued as a LIBOR Loan to (but excluding) the date of any repayment thereof; provided, however, that, if a Revolver Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Revolver Loan. The Base Rate on the date hereof is 4.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect hereunder on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 4.75% per annum with respect to any portion of the Revolver Loans bearing interest as a Base Rate Loan.

2.1.2. Conversions and Continuations.

(i) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to the giving of a proper Notice of Conversion/Continuation as hereinafter described, elect (A) to continue all or any part of a

-5-

LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period therefor, to commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, or (B) to convert all or any part of a Revolver Loan of one Type into a Revolver Loan of another Type; provided, however, that no outstanding Revolver Loans may be continued beyond the last day of the Interest Period then in effect for such Revolver Loans as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans when any Default or Event of Default exists. Any conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.

(ii) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Revolver Loans under Section 2.1.2(i), Borrowers shall give Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), signed by a Senior Officer of Borrowers’ Agent, at least 1 Business Day before the requested conversion date in the case of a conversion into Base Rate Loans, and at least 3 Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolver Loans to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day) and whether the Revolver Loans are being converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans (and, if so, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto and, in the absence of any specification by Borrowers of an Interest Period, an Interest Period of one month will be deemed specified) or Base Rate Loans. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans.

2.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which interest period shall commence on the date such LIBOR Loan is made and shall end on a numerically corresponding day in the first, second, third or sixth month thereafter; provided, however, that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Revolver Loan of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Revolver Loan shall commence on the date on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period that begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month; and

(v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the last day of the Term.

2.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or Lender’s or Bank’s position in such market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate, then, and in any such event, Lender shall

-6-

forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, the obligation of Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and such affected Revolver Loans then outstanding shall, at the end of the then applicable Interest Period or at such earlier time as may be required by Applicable Law, bear the same interest as Base Rate Loans.

2.1.5. Default Rate of Interest. Borrowers shall pay interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate (i) with respect to the principal amount of any portion of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) that is not paid on the due date thereof (whether due at stated maturity, on demand, upon acceleration or otherwise) until paid in full; (ii) with respect to the principal amount of all of the Obligations (and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all past due interest) from the earlier to occur of (x) a Borrower’s receipt of notice of Lender’s election to charge the Default Rate based upon the existence of any Event of Default, whether or not acceleration or demand for payment of the Obligations has been made, or (y) the commencement by or against any Borrower of an Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not under the circumstances described in clause (i) or clause (ii) hereof Lender elects to accelerate the maturity or demand payment of any of the Obligations, until the applicable event ceases to exist; and (iii) with respect to the principal amount of any Out-of-Formula Loan, whether or not demand for payment thereof has been made by Lender, from the date any such amount constitutes an Out-of-Formula Loan until the date that such amount has been paid. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Default Rate shall apply and accrue on any judgment entered with respect to any of the Obligations and to the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations during any Insolvency Proceeding of a Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Lender attendant upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain or estimate and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Lender for such added cost and expense. Interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

2.2. Fees. In consideration of Lender’s establishment of the Revolver Commitment in favor of Borrowers, Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the following fees:

2.2.1. Closing Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a closing fee of $131,250, which shall be paid concurrently with the initial Revolver Loans hereunder.

2.2.2. Commitment Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a fee (“Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for the Commitment Fee multiplied by the amount by which the Average Revolver Loan Balance for any month (or portion thereof that the Revolver Commitment is in effect) is less than the amount of the Revolver Commitment, such fee to be pro rated for the number of days in such period and paid on the first day of the following month; but if the Revolver Commitment is terminated on a day other than the first day of a month, then such fee payable for the month in which termination shall occur shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.2.3 LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay: (a)(i) to Lender, through its Treasury and International Services Group, for standby Letters of Credit, a per annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for LIBOR Loans based on the average amount available to be drawn under all standby Letters of Credit outstanding and all standby Letters of Credit that are paid or expire during the period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following calendar month; (ii) to Bank, for its own account, all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, processing and administration of standby Letters of Credit, payable as and when assessed by Bank; and (b)(i) to Lender, through its Treasury and International Services Group, for documentary Letters of Credit, a per annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time for LIBOR Loans based on the average amount available to be drawn under all documentary Letters of Credit outstanding and all documentary Letters of Credit that are paid or expire

-7-

during the period of measurement, payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of the following calendar month; and (ii) to Bank, for its own account, for documentary Letters of Credit, all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, processing and administration of documentary Letters of Credit, payable as and when assessed by Bank.

2.2.4. Audit and Appraisal Fees. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with (i) inspections and verifications of the Obligors’ books and records and such other matters pertaining to any Obligor or any Collateral as Lender shall deem appropriate in its reasonable credit judgment up to four times a year and at any time when an Event of Default exists (including, in each case, the standard amount charged by Lender per day ($850 per day as of the Closing Date) for each day that an employee or agent of Lender shall be engaged in an examination or review of any Obligor’s books and records), and (ii) appraisals of the Collateral up to two times a year and at any time when an Event of Default exists. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s rights to conduct audits and appraisals of the Collateral as set forth in Section 9.1.1 hereof.

2.2.5. Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a collateral monitoring fee of $3,000 per month, which fee shall be payable on the Closing Date and the first Business Day of each month thereafter.

2.2.6. General Provisions. All fees shall be fully earned by Lender when due and payable (and, in the case of Letters of Credit, upon each issuance, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit) and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by Applicable Law, shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees provided for in Section 2.2 are and shall be deemed to be for compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.

2.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All fees and other charges provided for in this Agreement that are calculated as a per annum percentage of any amount and all interest shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. For purposes of computing interest and other charges hereunder, all Payment Items and other forms of payment received by Lender shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) on the Business Day Lender receives such items in immediately available funds in the Payment Account, and Lender shall be deemed to have received such Payment Item on the date specified in Section 4.6 hereof.

2.4. Reimbursement of Expenses.

2.4.1. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for all legal, accounting, appraisal and other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the negotiation and preparation of any of the Loan Documents, any amendment or modification thereto, any waiver of any Default or Event of Default thereunder, or any restructuring or forbearance with respect thereto; (ii) the administration of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent that such fees and expenses are expressly provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (iii) action taken to perfect or maintain the perfection or priority of any of Lender’s Liens with respect to any of the Collateral; (iv) any effort to verify, protect, preserve, or restore any of the Collateral or to collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon any of the Collateral; (v) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or against Lender, any Obligor or any other Person) in any way arising out of or relating to any of the Collateral (or the validity, perfection or priority of any of Lender’s Liens thereon), any of the Loan Documents or the validity, allowance or amount of any of the Obligations (other than such actions arising out of or related to Lender’s actions in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral after it has taken possession thereof); (vi) the protection or enforcement or any

-8-

rights or remedies of Lender in any Insolvency Proceeding; and (vii) any other action taken by Lender to enforce any of the rights or remedies of Lender against any Obligor or any Account Debtors to enforce collection of any of the Obligations or payments with respect to any of the Collateral. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 2.4 shall constitute Obligations that are secured by all of the Collateral and shall be payable on demand to Lender. Borrowers shall also reimburse Lender for expenses incurred by Lender in its administration of any of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 7 hereof or in any of the other Loan Documents. The foregoing shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit, any other provision of any of the Loan Documents regarding the reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred by Lender.

2.4.2. If at any time Lender shall agree to indemnify any Person (including Bank or any Affiliate of Bank) against losses or damages that such Person may suffer or incur in its dealings or transactions with Borrower, or shall guarantee any liability or obligation of a Borrower to such Person, or otherwise shall provide assurances of Borrowers’ payment or performance under any agreement with such Person, including indemnities, guaranties or other assurances of payment or performance given by Lender with respect to Cash Management Agreements, Hedging Agreements, Letters of Credit or any Banking Relationship Debt, then the Contingent Obligation of Lender shall constitute part of the Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and Borrowers shall repay, on demand, any amount so paid or any liability incurred by Lender in connection with any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance, except that repayment with respect to any LC Support shall be due on the Reimbursement Date as provided in Section 1.3.1(iii). Nothing herein shall be construed to impose upon Lender any obligation to provide any such indemnity, guaranty or assurance except to the extent provided in Section 1.3 hereof. The foregoing agreement of Borrowers shall apply whether or not such indemnity, guaranty or assurance is in writing or oral and regardless of Borrower’s knowledge of the existence thereof, and shall be in addition to any of the provision of the Loan Documents regarding reimbursement by Borrowers of costs, expenses or liabilities suffered or incurred by Lender.

2.5. Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Lender or any Participant pays to a bank or other similar institution (including any fees paid by Lender to any Participant) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to a Borrower or any other Person on behalf of a Borrower, by Lender or any Participant, of proceeds of Revolver Loans made by Lender to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection, by Lender or any Participant, of any Payment Item received or delivered to Lender or any Participant on account of the Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may charge such costs, fees and expenses to Borrowers based upon Lender’s good faith estimate of such costs, fees and expenses as they are incurred by Lender.

2.6. Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if (i) any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof shall make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Loan or (ii) at any time Lender determines that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date hereof which adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of Lender or Bank in such market, then Lender shall give, after such determination, Borrowers notice thereof and may thereafter (1) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by Lender, whereupon any request by Borrowers for a LIBOR Loan shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless Lender’s declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (which declaration shall be withdrawn promptly after the cessation of the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above); and (2) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans, under the circumstances of clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.6 insofar as Lender determines the continuance of LIBOR Loans to be impracticable, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be

-9-

converted automatically to Base Rate Loans as of the date of any Borrower’s receipt of the aforesaid notice from Lender.

2.7. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in any such case, after the date hereof, or (b) the compliance with any guideline of or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or made after the date hereof:

(i) Lender shall be subject after the date hereof to any Tax, duty or other charge with respect to any LIBOR Loan or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of payment to Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income or gross receipts of Lender imposed by the jurisdiction in which Lender’s principal executive office or any office of Lender which shall be treated from time to time as either having made or maintained the Revolver Loans is located); or

(ii) any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be imposed on Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Loans), or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by Lender, then Lender shall, promptly after determining the existence or amount of any such increased costs for which Lender seeks payment hereunder, give Borrowers notice thereof and Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written notice from and demand by Lender, pay to Lender, within 5 Business Days after the date specified in such notice and demand, an additional amount sufficient to indemnify Lender against such increased cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrowers shall be required to pay any additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lender against increased costs attributable to U.S. withholding taxes imposed on a Non-U.S. Lender and U.S. “back-up” withholding taxes imposed on a U.S. Lender with respect to LIBOR Loans only to the extent provided in Sections 4.8.1 and 4.8.2(d) hereof and only if, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender, such Lender has complied with the requirements of Section 4.8.2 hereof, and, in the case of a U.S. Lender (other than FCC), such Lender has complied with the requirements of Section 4.8.3 hereof. A certificate as to the amount of such increased costs, submitted to Borrowers by Lender, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

At any time that, because of the circumstances described hereinabove in this Section 2.7 or any other circumstances arising after the date of this Agreement affecting Lender or the London interbank market or Lender’s or Bank’s position in such market, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as determined by Lender, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding LIBOR Loans, then, and in any such event:

(i) Lender shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers of such event;

-10-

(ii) Borrowers’ right to request and Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans shall be immediately suspended and Borrowers’ right to continue a LIBOR Loan as such beyond the then applicable Interest Period shall also be suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and

(iii) Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of the requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

For purposes of this Section 2.7, all references to Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of Lender.

2.8. Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that after the date hereof (a) the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or the subsidiaries thereof, (b) any change in the interpretation or administration of any such Applicable Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (c) compliance by Lender or its holding company with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on Lender’s capital to a level below that which Lender could have achieved (taking into consideration Lender’s and its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that Lender’s capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance) but for such adoption, change or compliance as a consequence of Lender’s commitment to make the Revolver Loans pursuant hereto by any amount deemed by Lender to be material:

(i) Lender shall promptly give notice of its determination of such occurrence to Borrowers; and

(ii) Borrowers shall pay to Lender as an additional fee from time to time, on demand, such amount as Lender certifies to be the amount reasonably calculated to compensate Lender for such reduction.

A certificate of Lender claiming entitlement to compensation as set forth above will be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate will set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation, the additional amount or amounts to be paid to Lender (including the basis for Lender’s determination of such amount), and the method by which such amounts were determined. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method. For purposes of this Section 2.8, all references to Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of Lender.

2.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than due to a default by Lender or as a result of Lender’s refusal to honor a LIBOR Loan request due to circumstances described in Sections 2.6 or 2.7 hereof) a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, LIBOR Loans does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), or if any repayment (including any conversions pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof) of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if for any reason Borrower defaults in its obligation to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, within 10 days after Lender’s demand therefor, an amount (if a positive number) computed pursuant to the following formula:

-11-

L = (R-T) x P x D

360

where

		L =		amount payable
		R =		interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Loan unborrowed or prepaid
		T =		effective interest rate per annum at which any readily marketable bond or other obligations of the United States, selected at Lender’s sole discretion, maturing on or nearest the last day of the then applicable or requested Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and in approximately the same amount as such LIBOR Loan, can be purchased by Lender on the day of such payment of principal or failure to borrow
		P =		the amount of principal paid or the amount of the LIBOR Loan requested or to have been continued or converted
		D =		the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as of the date of such prepayment or the number of days in the requested Interest Period

Borrowers shall pay such amount upon presentation by Lender of a statement setting forth the amount and Lender’s calculation thereof pursuant hereto, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error. For purposes of this Section 2.9, all references to Lender shall be deemed to include any bank holding company or bank parent of Lender.

2.10. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by Lender of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrowers to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender does not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrowers of such Excess, and (ii) no Borrower shall seek or

-12-

pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 2.10.

SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

3.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. Borrowings under the Revolver Commitment established pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof shall be made and funded as follows:

3.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.

(i) Whenever Borrowers desire to make a Borrowing under Section 1 of this Agreement (other than a Borrowing resulting from a conversion or continuation pursuant to Section 2.1.2), Borrowers shall give Lender prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of such Borrowing request (a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto and signed by a Senior Officer of Borrowers’ Agent. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be given by Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. at the office of Lender designated by Lender from time to time (a) on the Business Day of the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (b) at least 3 Business Days prior to the requested funding date of such Borrowing, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Revolver Loans made by Lender on the Closing Date shall each be in excess of $250,000 and shall be made as Base Rate Loans and thereafter may be made or continued as, or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice thereof) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (b) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c) whether the Borrowing is to consist of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, (d) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (e) the account of Borrowers to which the proceeds of such Borrowing are to be disbursed. Borrowers may not request any LIBOR Loans if a Default or Event of Default exists.

(ii) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees or other charges, including the repayment of any LC Outstandings and any amounts owing to Bank or any other Affiliate of Lender) shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without the requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay, such Obligations, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed by way of direct payment of the relevant Obligation and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrowers to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent set forth in Section 10.2 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion

-13-

and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) If Borrowers elect to establish a Deposit Account (including a Controlled Disbursement Account) with Bank or any Affiliate of Bank, or Borrowers otherwise incur Banking Relationship Debt, then the presentation for payment by Bank of any check or other item of payment drawn on the Controlled Disbursement Account or the becoming due of any Banking Relationship Debt at a time when there are insufficient funds in such Deposit Account to cover such item or Banking Relationship Debt shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request (without any requirement for the submission of a Notice of Borrowing) for Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation or becoming due of any Banking Relationship Debt and in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the items presented for payment or the amount of Banking Relationship Debt that has become due, and the proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed to the Controlled Disbursement Account or other Deposit Account with Bank or any Affiliate of Bank and shall bear interest as Base Rate Loans. Lender shall not have any obligation to honor any deemed request for a Revolver Loan after the Commitment Termination Date or when an Out-of-Formula Condition exists or would result therefrom or when any condition precedent in Section 10.2 hereof is not satisfied, but may do so in its discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether such Revolver Loan is funded after the Commitment Termination Date.

(iv) As an accommodation to Borrowers, Lender may permit telephonic requests for Borrowings and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by Borrowers (which shall be made or sent by a Senior Officer of Borrowers’ Agent); provided, however, that, Borrowers shall confirm each such telephonic request for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans by delivery of the required Notice of Borrowing to Lender by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 5:00 p.m. on the same day. Lender shall have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrowers as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by a Borrower and Lender shall not have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.

3.1.2. Disbursement Authorization. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested by any Borrower, or deemed to be requested pursuant to Section 3.1.1, as follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 3.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Lender in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrowers in the case of the initial Borrowing, and, in the case of each subsequent Borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by any Borrower and Lender from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from a Borrower; and (ii) the proceeds of each Revolver Loan requested under Section 3.1.1(ii) shall be disbursed by Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. Any Revolver Loan proceeds received by any Borrower or in payment of any of the Obligations shall be deemed to have been received by all Borrowers.

3.2. Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Loans.

3.2.1. Number of LIBOR Loans. In no event may the number of LIBOR Loans outstanding at any time exceed 4.

-14-

3.2.2. Minimum Amounts. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 3.1.1(i), and each continuation of or conversion to LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 2.1.2 hereof, shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount.

3.2.3 LIBOR Lending Office. Lender’s initial LIBOR Lending Office is set forth below its name on the signature pages hereof. Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to designate a different office of itself or of any Affiliate as Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office, and to transfer any outstanding LIBOR Loans to such LIBOR Lending Office. No such designation or transfer shall result in any liability on the part of Borrowers for increased costs or expenses resulting solely from such designation or transfer (except any such transfer that is made by Lender pursuant to Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 hereof, or otherwise for the purpose of complying with Applicable Law). Increased costs for expenses resulting from a change in Applicable Law occurring subsequent to any such designation or transfer shall be deemed not to result solely from such designation or transfer.

3.3. Borrowers’ Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Technologies as, and Technologies shall act under this Agreement as, the agent and representative of itself and each other Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement, including requesting Borrowings, selecting whether any Revolver Loan or portion thereof is to bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan, and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from Lender. Lender may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, disbursement instructions, reports, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Technologies, whether in its own name, on behalf of any Borrower or on behalf of “the Borrowers,” and Lender shall have no obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on such Borrower of any such request, instruction, report, information, notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ liability for the Obligations be affected, provided that the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not be construed so as to preclude any Borrower from directly requesting Borrowings or taking other actions permitted to be taken by “a Borrower” hereunder. Lender may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of “Artesyn Technologies, Inc.” hereunder, and each Borrower expressly agrees to such arrangement and confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations.

3.4. All Revolver Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Revolver Loans shall constitute one general Obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Document) shall be secured by Lender’s Lien upon all of the Collateral.

SECTION 4. PAYMENTS; NATURE OF EACH BORROWER’S LIABILITY

4.1. General Repayment Provisions. All payments (including all prepayments) of principal of and interest on the Revolver Loans, LC Outstandings and other Obligations that are payable to Lender shall be made to Lender in Dollars without any offset or counterclaim and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 hereof, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any present or future Taxes, and, with respect to payments made other than by application of balances in the Payment Account, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the due date (and payment made after such time on the due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

4.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans.

4.2.1. Payment of Principal. The outstanding principal amounts with respect to the Revolver Loans shall be repaid as follows:

-15-

(i) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of Base Rate Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender, unless timely converted to a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Agreement, immediately upon (a) each receipt by Lender or a Borrower, from and after the earlier of (i) the first date after the Closing Date on which Adjusted Availability is less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, of any proceeds of Collateral, to the extent of such proceeds, and (b) the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) Any portion of the Revolver Loans consisting of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender, unless converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, immediately upon (a) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (b) the Commitment Termination Date. In no event shall Borrowers be authorized to make a voluntary prepayment with respect to any Revolver Loan outstanding as a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless (x) otherwise agreed in writing by Lender or Borrowers are otherwise expressly authorized or required by any other provision of this Agreement to pay any LIBOR Loan outstanding on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (y) Borrowers pay to Lender concurrently with any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan any amount due Lender under Section 2.9 hereof as a consequence of such prepayment. If, from and after the earlier of (i) the first date after the Closing Date on which Adjusted Availability is less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender receives proceeds of any of the Collateral and there are no Revolver Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans, Lender may hold such proceeds as Cash Collateral for the Obligations and apply the same to the payment of any Base Rate Loans thereafter made or to any LIBOR Loans as the same become due and payable whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if an Out-of-Formula Condition shall exist, Borrowers shall, on the sooner to occur of Lender’s demand or the first Business Day after a Borrower has obtained knowledge of such Out-of-Formula Condition, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolver Loans by an amount equal to such excess; and, if such payment of Base Rate Loans is not sufficient to eliminate the Out-of-Formula Condition, then Borrowers shall immediately either (a) deposit with Lender, for application to any outstanding Revolver Loans bearing interest as LIBOR Loans as the same become due and, payable (whether at the end of the applicable Interest Periods or on the Commitment Termination Date) cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition, to be subject to Lender’s Lien thereon and rights of offset with respect thereto, or (b) pay the Revolver Loans outstanding as LIBOR Loans to the extent necessary to eliminate such Out-of-Formula Condition and also pay to Lender any and all amounts required by Section 2.9 hereof to be paid by reason of the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

4.2.2. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Revolver Loans shall be due and payable on (i) the first calendar day of each month (for the immediately preceding month), computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, with respect to any Revolver Loan (whether a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan) and (ii) the last day of the applicable Interest Period in the case of a LIBOR Loan. Accrued interest shall also be paid by Borrowers on the Commitment Termination Date. With respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.1.2 on a day when interest would not otherwise have been payable with respect to such Base Rate Loan, accrued interest to

-16-

the date of such conversion on the amount of such Base Rate Loan so converted shall be paid on the conversion date.

4.3. Reserved.

4.4. Payment of Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, including the LC Outstandings and Extraordinary Expenses incurred by Lender, shall be repaid by Borrowers to Lender as and when provided in the Loan Documents, or, if no date of payment is otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, on demand.

4.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender or Lender receives payment from the proceeds of any Collateral or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff (or any part thereof) are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of any loss by Lender, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been made received and any such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4.5 shall survive any termination of the Revolver Commitment and payment in full of the Obligations.

4.6. Application of Payments and Collateral Proceeds. All Payment Items received by Lender by 12:00 noon, Hartford, Connecticut time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All Payment Items received by Lender after 12:00 noon, Hartford, Connecticut time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments and Collateral proceeds at any time or times hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower does hereby irrevocably agree that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and Collateral proceeds received at any time or times hereafter by Lender or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Lender may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Lender upon any of its books and records. If as the result of Lender’s collection of proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral as authorized by Section 7.2.6 a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be available to Borrowers at any time or times for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists.

4.7. Loan Account; Account Stated.

4.7.1 Loan Account. Lender shall establish an account on its books (the “Loan Account”) and shall enter all Revolver Loans as debits to the Loan Account and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrowers on any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to Lender, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

4.7.2 Statements of Account. Lender will account to Borrowers monthly with a statement of Revolver Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and such accounting rendered by Lender shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers unless Lender is notified by Borrowers in writing to the contrary within 30 days after the date each accounting is deemed to have been sent pursuant to Section 12.9. Such notice shall only be deemed an objection to

-17-

those items specifically objected to therein. Failure of Lender to render any such account shall in no way affect the rights of Lender hereunder.

4.8. Gross Up for Taxes.

4.8.1 Grossing-up of Payments. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (a) the sum payable to Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions, and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law, provided, however, that no additional sums shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (a) hereof except to the extent that any change in any Applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof after the date hereof (in the case of FCC) or after the date of an assignment pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) results in an increase in the rate of any such deduction or withholding from that in effect as of the date of this Agreement or as of the date of such assignment, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender.

4.8.2. Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax for Non-U.S. Lenders.

(a) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers on or prior to the date of an assignment pursuant to which it becomes a Lender, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers (in the reasonable exercise of their discretion), two original copies of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a Form W-8 BEN, and, in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to Borrowers that it is not a “bank” (as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code), a certificate of such Lender certifying that such Lender is not (1) a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (2) a ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Borrower or (3) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), in each case together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code or the Treasury Regulations (the “Regulations”) issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Non-U.S. Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to Borrowers on or prior to the date of the assignment pursuant to which it becomes a Lender or on such later date when such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers (in the reasonable exercise of their discretion), (1) two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender under subsection (a) of this Section 4.8.2, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (2) two original copies of IRS Form W-8 IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any

-18-

information, if any, such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code or the Regulations thereunder, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse of time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Borrowers two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of such payment, or (2) notify Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(d) Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Lender under clause (a) of Section 4.8.1 hereof, (1) with respect to any Tax required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption that such Lender chooses to transmit with an IRS Form W-8 IMY pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of this Section 4.8.2 or (2) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of subsections (a), (b)(1) or (c)(1) of this Section 4.8.2; provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of subsection (a) of this Section 4.8.2 on or prior to the date such Lender became a Lender, nothing in this subsection (d) shall relieve Borrowers of their obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.8.1 hereof in the event that, as a result of any change in any Applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in subsection (a) of this Section 4.8.2.

4.8.3. Evidence of Exemption from “Back-up” Withholding for U.S. Lenders. Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrowers, on or prior to the date of the assignment pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each Lender other than FCC), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers (in the reasonable exercise of their discretion), two original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed, by such U.S. Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is not subject to the “back-up” withholding provisions of Section 3406 of the Code.

4.9 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

4.9.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers of, all of the Revolver Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Revolver Loans received or the manner in which Lender accounts for such Revolver Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Revolver Loans to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that Lender is relying on the joint and several liability of Borrowers in extending the Revolver Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of

-19-

the Revolver Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall forthwith pay the same, without notice or demand.

4.9.2. Unconditional Nature of Liability. Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Revolver Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Obligor or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any Instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Lender, (iv) the failure by Lender to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or Lender’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Obligor for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or waiver of any Default or Event of Default thereunder, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of Lender’s claims for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Obligor. At any time an Event of Default exists, Lender may proceed directly and at once, without notice to any Obligor, against any or all of Obligors to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Obligor or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision that might otherwise require Lender under Applicable Law to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or Obligor before pursuing such Borrower or another Obligor. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

4.9.3. No Reduction in Liability for Obligations. No payment or payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by Lender from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed (except to the extent Obligations are satisfied) to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement, each of which shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Revolver Loans and other Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitment is terminated.

4.9.4. Contribution. Each Borrower is unconditionally obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. If, as of any date, the aggregate amount of payments made by a Borrower on account of the Obligations and proceeds of such Borrower’s Collateral that are applied to the Obligations exceeds the aggregate amount of Revolver Loan proceeds actually used by such Borrower in its business (such excess amount being referred to as an “Accommodation Payment”), then each of the other Borrowers shall be obligated to make contribution to such Borrower (the “Paying Borrower”) in an amount equal to (A) the product derived by multiplying the sum of each Accommodation Payment of each Borrower by the Allocable Percentage of the Borrowers

-20-

from whom contribution is sought less (B) the amount, if any, of the then outstanding Accommodation Payment of such Contributing Borrower (such last mentioned amount which is to be subtracted from the aforesaid product to be increased by any amounts theretofore paid by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder, and to be decreased by any amounts theretofore received by such Contributing Borrower by way of contribution hereunder); provided, however, that a Paying Borrower’s recovery of contribution hereunder from the other Borrowers shall be limited to that amount paid by the Paying Borrower in excess of its Allocable Percentage of all Accommodation Payments then outstanding of all Borrowers. As used herein, the term “Allocable Percentage” shall mean, on any date of determinations thereof, a fraction the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of Borrowers who are parties to this Agreement on such date and the numerator of which shall be 1; provided, however, that such percentages shall be modified in the event that contribution from a Borrower is not possible by reason of insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise by reducing such Borrower’s Allocable Percentage equitably and by adjusting the Allocable Percentage of the other Borrowers proportionately so that the Allocable Percentages of all Borrowers at all times equals 100%.

4.9.5. Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Obligor, and any successor or assign of any other Obligor, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the payment in full of all of the Obligations.

SECTION 5. TERM AND TERMINATION

5.1. Term of Revolver Commitment. Subject to Lender’s right to cease making Revolver Loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers when any Default or Event of Default exists or upon termination of the Revolver Commitment as provided in Section 5.2, the Revolver Commitment shall be in effect for a period of 5 years from the date hereof through the close of business on March 28, 2008 (the “Term”).

5.2. Termination.

5.2.1. Termination by Lender. Lender may terminate the Revolver Commitment without notice upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default; provided, however, that the Revolver Commitment shall automatically terminate as provided in Section 11.2.

5.2.2. Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 15 days prior written notice to Lender, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver Commitment; provided, however, no such termination by Borrowers shall be effective until Borrowers have satisfied all of the Obligations and executed in favor of and delivered to Lender a general release of all Claims that Borrowers may have against Lender. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing. Borrowers may elect to terminate the Revolver Commitment in its entirety only. No section of this Agreement or Type of Revolver Loan available hereunder may be terminated by Borrowers singly.

5.2.3. Termination Charges. On the effective date of termination of the Revolver Commitment pursuant to Section 5.2.2, Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Lender (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest, fees and other charges owing under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents), as liquidated damages for the loss of the bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 1.00% of the Revolver Commitment if termination occurs during the first Loan Year, and 0.50% of the Revolver Commitment if termination occurs during

-21-

the second Loan Year. In no event shall any termination charge be payable if the effective date of termination occurs at any time after the last day of the second Loan Year.

5.2.4. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of termination of the Revolver Commitment by Lender or by Borrowers, all of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lender shall have no obligation to make any Revolver Loans or to procure any Letter of Credit. All undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of each Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any such termination and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations to Lender, in full, and Lender has received from Obligors a full release of Claims in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. For purposes of this Agreement, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been satisfied until all Obligations for the payment of money have been paid to Lender in same day funds and all Obligations that are at the time in question contingent (including all LC Outstandings that exist by virtue of an outstanding Letter of Credit) have been fully cash collateralized in favor of Lender, in a manner and with a financial institution acceptable to Lender, or Lender has received as beneficiary a direct pay letter of credit in form and from an issuing bank reasonably acceptable to Lender and providing for direct payment to Lender of all such contingent Obligations at the time they become fixed (including reimbursement of all sums paid by Lender under any LC Support). Notwithstanding the payment in full of the Obligations, Lender shall not be required to terminate its security interests in any of the Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Lender may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of any Payment Items applied to the Obligations, Lender shall have received either (i) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person deemed financially responsible by Lender whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Lender from any such loss or damage; or (ii) such monetary reserves and Liens on the Collateral for such period of time as Lender, in its reasonable credit judgment, may deem necessary to protect Lender from any such loss or damage. The provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 4.5, 4.8 and 5.2.4 and all obligations of Borrowers to indemnify Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several and shall in all events survive any termination of the Revolver Commitment.

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL SECURITY

6.1. Grant of Security Interest in Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Lender, for the benefit of itself as Lender and as agent for Bank and each Affiliate of Lender and Bank, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of such Borrower’s personal property, including all of the following Property and interests in Property of such Borrower, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising and wheresoever located:

(i) all Accounts Collateral;

(ii) all Goods, including all Inventory and all Equipment;

(iii) all Instruments;

(iv) all Chattel Paper;

(v) all Documents;

(vi) all General Intangibles;

-22-

(vii) all Deposit Accounts;

(viii) all Investment Property (but excluding any portion thereof that constitutes Margin Stock unless otherwise expressly provided in any Security Documents);

(ix) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(x) all Supporting Obligations;

(xi) all monies now or at any time or times hereafter in the possession or under the control of Lender or a bailee or Affiliate of Lender, including any Cash Collateral in the Cash Collateral Account;

(xii) all accessions to, substitutions for and all replacements, products and cash and non-cash proceeds of (i) through (xi) above, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral and claims against any Person for loss of, damage to, or destruction of any of the Collateral; and

(xiii) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs, and other computer materials and records) of such Borrower pertaining to any of (i) through (xii) above.

6.2. Lien on Deposit Accounts. As additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon and hereby collaterally assigns to Lender all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to each Deposit Account of Borrowers and in and to any deposits or other sums at any time credited to each such Deposit Account, including any sums in any blocked account or any special lockbox account and in the accounts in which sums are deposited. In connection with the foregoing, each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each such bank or other depository to pay or deliver to Lender upon its written demand therefor made at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and without further notice to such Borrower (such notice being hereby expressly waived), all balances in each Deposit Account maintained by Borrowers with such depository for application to the Obligations then outstanding, and the rights given Lender in this Section shall be cumulative with and in addition to Lender’s other rights and remedies in regard to the foregoing Property as proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney to collect any and all such balances to the extent any such payment is not made to Lender by such bank or other depository after demand thereon is made by Lender pursuant hereto.

6.3. Real Estate Collateral. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants, transfers and assigns to Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and Lien upon, all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of real Property to which such Borrower is a party, whether as lessor or lessee, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof.

6.4. Other Collateral. In addition to the items of Property referred to in Section 6.1 above, the Obligations shall also be secured by the Cash Collateral to the extent provided herein and all of the other items of Property from time to time described in any of the Security Documents as security for any of the Obligations.

-23-

6.5. No Assumption of Liability. The security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement is granted as security only and shall not subject Lender to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation of liability of Borrowers with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

6.6. Lien Perfection; Further Assurances. Promptly after Lender’s request therefor, Borrowers shall execute or cause to be executed and deliver to Lender such instruments, assignments, title certificates or other documents as are necessary under the UCC or other Applicable Law (including any motor vehicle certificate of title acts) to perfect (or continue the perfection of) Lender’s Lien upon the Collateral and shall take such other action as may be requested by Lender to give effect to or carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to execute and file in any jurisdiction any financing statement or amendment thereto on such Borrower’s behalf, including financing statements that indicate the Collateral as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set forth in this Section 6. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its authorization for Lender to have filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statement or amendment thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties agree that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof.

6.7. Foreign Subsidiary Stock; Exclusions for Certain Contracts and Leases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.1 above, the types or items of Collateral described in such Section (i) shall include only 65% of the Equity Interests of any First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary and (ii) shall not include any Borrower’s rights or interests in any lease, license, contract or agreement to which such Borrower is a party, to the extent that a grant of a security interest or Lien under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would result in a breach of or default under the terms or provisions of any such lease, license, contract or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC, any other provisions of the UCC or any other Applicable Law).

6.8 Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon any Borrower’s obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim after the Closing Date against any Person and, upon Lender’s written request, promptly enter into an amendment to this Agreement (or any of the other Loan Documents) and do such other acts or things deemed appropriate by Lender to confer upon Lender a security interest in each such Commercial Tort Claim.

6.9 Post-Closing Obligations. On or before April 30, 2003, deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender (i) a good standing certificate as of a recent date for AzCore Technologies, Inc., issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona, (ii) an ALTA 3.1 zoning endorsement to each mortgagee title insurance policy required to be delivered to Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.1.21 hereof, providing affirmative coverage in favor of Lender with respect to the zoning matters addressed in ALTA Form 3.1 (including the number of parking spots), and (iii) Pledge Agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, pursuant to which the applicable Obligors shall pledge to Lender, as security for the Obligations, 65% of the Equity Interests of Artesyn Cayman and Artesyn Scotland, together with all certificates, if any, evidencing such pledged Equity Interests, such other documents or instruments as may be required to be delivered to Lender thereunder and signed opinions of local counsel to such Obligors, opining as to such matters in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Pledge Agreements, including the enforceability of such Pledge Agreements under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Scotland, respectively, as Lender or its counsel may reasonably request.

-24-

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

7.1. General

7.1.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at one or more of the business locations of a Borrower set forth in Schedule 7.1.1 hereto and shall not be moved therefrom, without the prior written approval of Lender, except that in the absence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations in consequence thereof, a Borrower (i) may make sales or other dispositions of Collateral to the extent authorized by Section 9.2.10 hereof and (ii) move Inventory or Equipment or any record relating to any Collateral to a location in the United States other than those shown on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto so long as Borrowers have given Lender at least 30 Business Days prior written notice of such new location and prior to moving any Inventory or Equipment to such location there have been filed any UCC-1 financing statements and any other appropriate documentation necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s first priority Liens with respect to such Inventory or Equipment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower shall be permitted to keep, store or otherwise maintain any Collateral at any location (including any location described in Schedule 7.1.1) unless (i) such Borrower is the owner of such location, (ii) such Borrower leases such location and the landlord has executed in favor of Lender a Landlord Waiver or Lender has established a Rent Reserve with respect to such location, or (iii) the Collateral consists of Inventory placed with a warehouseman, bailee or a processor and Lender has received from such warehouseman, bailee or processor an acceptable Lien waiver agreement or Lender has established a Rent Reserve with respect to such location, provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to non-Inventory Collateral maintained by a Borrower at a sales office or to any Collateral maintained by a Borrower outside the United States.

7.1.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds. Each Obligor shall maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral, wherever located, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Schedule 7.1.2 describes all commercial liability, property (including all earthquake and flood insurance) and marine cargo insurance of Obligors in effect on the date hereof. All proceeds payable under each such policy in respect of the Collateral of Obligors and any condemnation awards that are paid to Lender in connection with a condemnation of any of the Collateral shall be paid to Lender for application to the Obligations. Each Obligor shall deliver the originals or certified copies of such policies or certificates of insurance with respect to such policies to Lender with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements reasonably satisfactory to Lender, naming Lender as sole loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate, which lender’s loss payable endorsements shall be delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, in the case of Obligors’ property and marine cargo insurance, and within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date, in the case of Obligors’ earthquake and flood insurance. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Obligor or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. If any Obligor fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the same and charge each Obligor therefor. Each Obligor agrees to deliver to Lender, promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance companies. For so long as no Event of Default exists, each Obligor shall have the right to settle, adjust and compromise any claim with respect to any insurance maintained by each Obligor provided that all proceeds thereof are applied in the manner specified in this Agreement, and Lender agrees promptly to provide any necessary endorsement to any checks or drafts issued in payment of any such claim. At any time that an Event of Default exists, only Lender shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims. Lender

-25-

shall have all rights and remedies with respect to such policies of insurance as are provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.1.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes imposed under any Applicable Law on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, and all other payments required to be made by Lender to any Person to realize upon any Collateral shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Lender’s actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whomsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

7.1.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Borrowers shall at all times defend their title to the Collateral and Lender’s Liens therein against all Persons and all claims and demands whatsoever other than Permitted Liens.

7.2. Administration of Accounts.

7.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to Lender on such periodic basis as Lender shall request a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form satisfactory to Lender. Each Borrower shall also provide to Lender on or before the 15th day of each Fiscal Month, a detailed aged trial balance of all of its Accounts existing as of the last day of the preceding Fiscal Month, specifying the names, addresses, face value, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed (“Schedule of Accounts”), and, upon Lender’s request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and a copy of all documents, including repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Lender shall reasonably request. In addition, if Accounts in an aggregate face amount in excess of $500,000 cease to be Eligible Accounts in whole or in part, Borrowers shall notify Lender of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days) after any Borrower’s having obtained knowledge of such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. Upon Lender’s request, each Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of invoices or invoice registers related to all of its Accounts.

7.2.2. Discounts, Disputes and Returns. If any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, Borrowers shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Lender as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts. If any amounts due and owing in excess of $250,000 are in dispute between any Borrower and any single Account Debtor, or if any returns are made in excess of $250,000 with respect to any Accounts owing from a single Account Debtor, Borrowers shall provide Lender with written notice thereof at the time of submission of the next Schedule of Accounts, explaining in detail the reason for the dispute or return, all claims related thereto and the amount in controversy. At any time an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to settle or adjust all disputes and claims directly with the Account Debtor and to compromise the amount or extend the time for payment of any Accounts comprising a part of the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem advisable, and to charge the deficiencies, costs and expenses thereof, including attorneys’ fees, to Borrowers.

7.2.3. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes payable to any Governmental Authority, Lender is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount

-26-

thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for any Taxes that may be due by any Borrower.

7.2.4. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right at any time, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of any Borrower by mail, telephone, telegraph or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

7.2.5. Maintenance of Dominion Account; Other Accounts.

(i) Borrowers shall maintain a Dominion Account pursuant to a lockbox or other arrangement acceptable to Lender and, in the case of such Dominion Account and lockbox arrangement, with such bank as may be selected by Borrowers and be acceptable to Lender. Borrowers shall issue to each such lockbox bank an irrevocable letter of instruction directing such bank to deposit all payments or other remittances received in the lockbox, if any, to the Dominion Account. Borrowers shall enter into agreements, in form satisfactory to Lender, with each bank at which a Dominion Account is maintained by which such bank shall immediately transfer to the Payment Account all monies deposited to such Dominion Account; provided, however, that for so long as Adjusted Availability is equal to or greater than $20,000,000, all monies deposited to a Dominion Account shall be immediately transferred by the bank at which such Dominion Account is maintained to Borrowers’ operating Deposit Accounts maintained by them at Bank. From and after the earlier of (i) the first date after the Closing Date on which Adjusted Availability is less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, all monies deposited to a Dominion Account shall be immediately transferred by the bank at which such Dominion Account is maintained to the Payment Account irrespective of whether Adjusted Availability at any time thereafter is equal to or greater than $20,000,000. Lender does not assume any responsibility to Borrowers for such lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

(ii) With respect to each Deposit Account or Investment Account of a Borrower that is subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement or Investment Account Control Agreement, respectively, from and after the earlier of (i) the first date after the Closing Date on which Adjusted Availability is less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to exercise its rights under such Deposit Account Control Agreement or Investment Account Control Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive right to give instructions to the financial institution at which such Deposit Account or Investment Account is maintained as to the disposition of funds or other Property on deposit therein or credited thereto. In connection with its exercise of such rights, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender may, at its option, apply or direct the application of funds or other Property on deposit in or credited to any such Deposit Account or Investment Account to the repayment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable. Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it will not exercise its rights under such Deposit Account Control Agreements or Investment Account Control Agreements, including sending any notice to a financial institution at which such Deposit Accounts or Investment Accounts are maintained directing the disposition of Property therein, unless and until the earlier of (i) the first date after the Closing Date on which Adjusted Availability is less than $20,000,000 and (ii) the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default.

(iii) All funds deposited in each Deposit Account (including each Dominion Account) shall be subject to Lender’s Lien. Borrowers shall obtain the agreement (in favor of and in form and content satisfactory to Lender) by each bank at which a Deposit Account (including a Dominion Account) is maintained to waive any offset rights against the funds deposited into such Deposit Account, except offset rights in respect of charges incurred in the administration of such Deposit Account.

(iv) On or before August 29, 2003, Borrowers shall transfer all of their Deposit Accounts (other than any of Borrowers’ payroll accounts that are listed on Schedule 7.2.5) and system of cash management from Borrowers’ existing banks to Bank. Borrowers shall establish on or before April 2, 2003, and shall until August 29, 2003 continue to maintain, a Deposit Account with Bank, which shall be subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement and in which shall be deposited (until August 29, 2003) not less than $10,500,000.

All Payment Items received by any Borrower in respect of its Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Lender’s benefit; such Borrower shall immediately deposit same in kind in the Dominion Account; and Lender may apply such proceeds to the Obligations in the manner authorized by this Agreement. Lender retains the right at all times that a Default or an Event of Default exists to notify Account Debtors of each Borrower that Accounts have been assigned to Lender and to collect Accounts directly in its own name and to charge to Borrowers the collection costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

7.3. Administration of Inventory.

7.3.1. Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory and shall furnish Lender on or before the 15th day of each Fiscal Month inventory reports respecting such Inventory as of the last day of the preceding Fiscal Month and in form and detail satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers shall, at their own expense, conduct a physical inventory no less frequently than annually and periodic cycle counts consistent with Borrowers’ historical practices and shall provide to Lender a report based on each such physical inventory and cycle count promptly thereafter, together with such supporting information as Lender shall request. Lender may participate in and observe each physical count or inventory, which participation shall be at Borrowers’ expense at any time that an Event of Default exists.

7.3.2. Returns of Inventory.

Promptly after request therefor by Lender, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender any and all evidence of ownership, if any, of any of the Equipment.

7.4.2. Dispositions of Equipment. No Borrower will sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of the Equipment or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply, for so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to (i) dispositions of Equipment which, in the aggregate as to all Borrowers during any consecutive 12-month period, has a fair market value or book value, whichever is more, of $250,000 or less, provided that all Net Proceeds thereof are remitted to Lender for application to the Obligations, or (ii) replacements of Equipment that is substantially worn, damaged, destroyed or obsolete with Equipment of like kind, function and value, provided that the replacement Equipment shall be acquired prior to, concurrently with or within 3 months after any disposition of the Equipment that is to be replaced. The replacement Equipment shall be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens, and Borrowers shall have given Lender at least 10 days prior written notice of such disposition.

7.4.3 Condition of Equipment. The material items of Equipment are in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of such Equipment shall be maintained and preserved, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Borrowers shall ensure that the material items of Equipment shall be mechanically and structurally sound, capable of performing the functions for which such Equipment was originally designed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s published and recommended specifications. No Borrower will permit any of the Equipment to become affixed to any real Property leased to such Borrower so that an interest arises therein under the real estate laws of the applicable jurisdiction unless the landlord of such real Property has executed a Landlord Waiver or leasehold mortgage in favor of and in form acceptable to Lender, and no Borrower will permit any of the Equipment to become an accession to any personal Property that is subject to a Lien unless the Lien is a Permitted Lien.

7.5. Borrowing Base Certificates. As soon as available and in any event not later than Thursday of each week, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of business of the last Business Day of the preceding week. All calculations of Availability in connection with any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer of Borrowers’ Agent to Lender, provided that Lender shall have the right to review and, upon reasonable notice to Borrowers, adjust, in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment, any such calculation (i) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any of the Collateral described therein and (ii) to the extent that such calculation is not in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the amount of the Availability Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing Base be deemed to exceed the amount of the Borrowing Base shown on the Borrowing Base Certificate last received by Lender prior to such date, as such Borrowing Base Certificate may be adjusted by Lender as herein authorized.

7.6 Additional Information. Lender may in its reasonable discretion from time to time request that Borrowers deliver the reports, schedules and certificates described in Sections 7.2.1, 7.3.1, 7.4.1, 7.5 and 9.1.3(iii) more or less often and in greater or less detail than specified in such Sections and the Borrowers will comply with such requests.

8.1.3. Legally Enforceable Agreement. This Agreement is, and each of the other Loan Documents when delivered under this Agreement will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor signatories thereto enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such Loan Documents, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or general principles of equity.

8.1.4. Capital Structure. As of the date hereof, Schedule 8.1.4 hereto states (i) the correct name of each Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of organization and the percentage of its Equity Interests having voting powers owned by each Person, (ii) the name of each Borrower’s corporate or joint venture Affiliates and the nature of the affiliation and (iii) the number of authorized and issued Equity Interests (and treasury shares) of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. Each Borrower has good title to all of the shares it purports to own of the Equity Interests of each of its Subsidiaries, free and clear in each case of any Lien other than Permitted Liens. All such Equity Interests have been duly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Since the date of the financial statements of Borrowers referred to in Section 8.1.9 hereof, no Borrower has made, or obligated itself to make, any Distribution. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.4, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options to purchase, or any rights or warrants to subscribe for, or any commitments or agreements to issue or sell, or any Equity Interests or obligations convertible into, shares of the capital stock of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.4 hereto, there are no outstanding agreements or instruments to which any

Borrower is a party that are binding upon the holders of any Borrower’s Equity Interests relating to the ownership of its Equity Interests.

8.1.5. Names. During the 5-year period preceding the date of this Agreement, except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.5 hereto, no Obligor has been known as or used any corporate, fictitious or trade names or has been the surviving corporation of a merger or consolidation or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person.

Each Obligor has paid or discharged all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien against any Collateral of such Obligor that is not a Permitted Lien. The Liens granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents are first priority Liens, subject only to those Permitted Liens which are expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have priority over the Liens of Lender.

8.1.8. Accounts. Lender may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by a Borrower with respect to any Account. Unless otherwise indicated in writing to Lender or excluded by Borrowers in their calculation of the Borrowing Base in any Borrowing Base Certificate, with respect to each Account, each Borrower warrants that:

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

(ii) It arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business and substantially in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between a Borrower and the Account Debtor;

(iii) It is for a sum certain maturing as stated in the duplicate invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Lender on request;

(iv) No portion of such Account that is included as an Eligible Account in any Borrowing Base Certificate is (by volitional act or omission of a Borrower) subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or any other adverse condition except for disputes resulting in returned goods where the amount in controversy is immaterial and Permitted Liens, and each such Account is absolutely owing to a Borrower and is not contingent in any respect or for any reason;

-31-

(v) The contract under which such Account arose does not condition or restrict any Borrower’s right to assign to Lender the right to payment thereunder unless Borrowers have obtained the Account Debtor’s consent to such collateral assignment or complied with any conditions to such assignment (regardless of whether under the UCC or other Applicable Law any such restrictions are ineffective to prevent the grant of a Lien upon such Account in favor of Lender);

(vi) Such Borrower has not made any agreement with any Account Debtor for any extension, compromise, settlement or modification of any such Account or any deduction therefrom, except (A) pursuant to an accelerated payment program in respect of Dell, administered through a third party service provider, (B) pursuant to “ship and debit” arrangements with the distributors listed on Schedule 8.1.8, and (C) discounts or allowances which are granted by a Borrower in the Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment and which are reflected in the calculation of the net amount of each respective invoice related thereto and are reflected in the Schedules of Accounts submitted to Lender pursuant to Section 7.2.1 hereof;

(vii) To such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which such Borrower believes are reasonably likely to impair the validity or enforceability of any of such Account or reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the invoice and statements delivered to Lender with respect thereto;

(viii) To such Borrower’s knowledge, the Account Debtor thereunder (1) had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (2) is Solvent; and

(ix) To such Borrower’s knowledge, there are no proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any Account Debtor thereunder and which are reasonably likely to result in any material adverse change in such Account Debtor’s financial condition or the collectibility of such Account.

8.1.9. Financial Statements; Fiscal Year. The Consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Borrowers and such other Persons described therein (including the accounts of all Subsidiaries of Borrowers for the respective periods during which a Subsidiary relationship existed) as of December 27, 2002, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and changes in financial position for the periods ended on such dates, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and present fairly the financial positions of Borrowers and such Persons at such dates and the results of Borrowers’ operations for such periods. Since December 27, 2002, there has been no material change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of any Borrower or such other Persons as shown on the Consolidated balance sheet as of such date and no material change in the aggregate value of Equipment and real Property owned by any Borrower or such other Persons.

8.1.10. Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in Section 8.1.9 hereof do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. This Agreement and the other written statement furnished by Borrowers to Lender in connection with this Agreement (taken as a whole) are true and accurate in all material respects and do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein (taken as a whole) not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

Any such deposit or advance shall be held by Lender as a reserve to fund future payments on any LC Support. At such time as the LC Support has been paid or terminated and all Letters of Credit have been drawn upon or expired, any amounts remaining in such reserve shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, if all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, returned to Borrowers.

In connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder, Lender is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Obligor or any other Person) any or all of each Borrower’s Intellectual Property and all of each Borrower’s computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, and packaging materials, and any Property of a similar nature, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling and collecting and in completing the manufacturing of any Collateral, and each Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit.

11.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

11.5.1. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule or in any Guaranty given to Lender or contained in any other agreement between Lender and any or all Borrowers, heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of Borrowers herein contained. The rights and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Lender would otherwise have.

11.5.2. The failure or delay of Lender to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to any Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers

-53-

and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Revolver Loans and all other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to Lender shall have been fully satisfied.

11.5.3. If Lender shall accept performance by a Borrower, in whole or in part, of any obligation that a Borrower is required by any of the Loan Documents to perform only when a Default or Event of Default exists, or if Lender shall exercise any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents that may not be exercised other than when a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender’s acceptance of such performance by a Borrower or Lender’s exercise of any such right or remedy shall not operate to waive any such Event of Default or to preclude the exercise by Lender of any other right or remedy, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Lender, as the case may be.

Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by certified mail addressed to Borrowers at the address set forth in this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of Technologies’ actual receipt thereof or 3 days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to affect the right of Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law, or to preclude the enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce same in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction.

Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Lender’s entering into this Agreement and that Lender is relying upon the foregoing waivers in its future dealings with Borrowers.

FORM OF REVOLVER NOTE

___________ , 2003

U.S. $35,000,000.00

Atlanta, Georgia

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ARTESYN TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Florida corporation (“Technologies”), ARTESYN NORTH AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“North America”), and ARTESYN COMMUNICATION PRODUCTS, INC., a Wisconsin corporation (“Communication Products”; Technologies, North America and Communication Products are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Borrowers” and individually as a “Borrower”), hereby unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of FLEET CAPITAL CORPORATION (herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called the “Lender”) the principal sum of $35,000,000 or such lesser sum as may constitute the outstanding principal amount of all Revolver Loans pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement (as defined below) on the date on which such outstanding principal amounts become due and payable pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally, and jointly and severally, promise to pay to Lender interest from and after the date hereof on the outstanding principal amount of Revolver Loans at such interest rates, payable at such times, and computed in such manner as are specified in Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof.

This Revolver Note (“Note”) is issued pursuant to, and is the “Revolver Note” referred to in, the Loan and Security Agreement dated March __, 2003 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), among Borrowers and Lender, and Lender is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof and of all Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

The repayment of the principal balance of this Note is subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable immediately upon the termination of the Revolver Commitment as set forth in Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement.

All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds as specified in the Loan Agreement.

Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default exists, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this Note may be declared (or shall become) due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance hereof shall bear interest at the Default Rate as and when provided in Section 2.1.5 of the Loan Agreement. Subject to Section 12.20 of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers agree to pay, and save Lender harmless against any liability for the payment of, all costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, if this Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

All principal amounts of Revolver Loans made by Lender to Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Agreement, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be deemed outstanding under this

-1-

Note and shall continue to be owing by Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Loan Agreement.

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment inadvertently paid by Borrowers or inadvertently received by Lender, such excess sum shall be, at Borrowers’ option, returned to Borrowers forthwith or credited as a payment of principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest. It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that Lender not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrowers under Applicable Law.

Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Lender, at its option, may enforce its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without Lender enforcing its rights against any Borrower, any Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing such Borrower’s liability hereunder, Lender may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

The rights of Lender and obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law) of the State of New York.
