Gentlemen:

The undersigned, UBS PW EQUITY OPPORTUNITY FUND, LIMITED, an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2001 Second Revision), as amended, of the Cayman Islands ("Cayman Equity Opportunity Fund"), PW TECHNOLOGY FUND, LTD., an exempted company incorporated under the Companies Law (2001 Second Revision), as amended, of the Cayman Islands ("PW Technology Fund"), UBS EQUITY OPPORTUNITY FUND II, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Equity Opportunity Fund II"), UBS EQUITY OPPORTUNITY FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Equity Opportunity Fund"), UBS HEALTH SCIENCES FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Health Sciences Fund"), UBS CREDIT & RECOVERY FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Recovery Fund"), UBS EVENT & EQUITY FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Event & Equity Fund"), UBS TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Technology Partners"), UBS M2 FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("UBS M2 Fund"), and UBS MASTERS FUND, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Masters Fund", and, together with Cayman Equity Opportunity Fund, PW Technology Fund, Equity Opportunity Fund II, Equity Opportunity Fund, Health Sciences Fund, Recovery Fund, Event & Equity Fund, Technology Partners, UBS M2 Fund and Masters Fund, individually a "Borrower" and collectively the "Borrowers"), apply to you for your commitment, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, to make a revolving credit (the "Revolving Credit") available to the Borrowers, all as more fully set forth herein.

SECTION 1. THE CREDIT FACILITIES.

Section 1.1.Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to extend a Revolving Credit to each Borrower which may be availed of by each Borrower from time to time during the period from and including the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date (the "Commitment Period"), at which time the commitment of the Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Credit shall expire. The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit which the Lender agrees to extend to the Borrowers shall be the Lender's Commitment as then in effect. The Revolving Credit may be utilized by the Borrowers in the form of Loans, all as more fully hereinafter set forth, provided, that, the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Commitment and the maximum aggregate amount of all Loans made to any Borrower at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Commitment, and (b) such Borrower's Borrowing Limit. During the Commitment Period, each Borrower may utilize the Revolving Credit by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing Loans in whole or in part, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Loans shall be made available to the Borrowers on a first come, first served basis, provided, that, if the amount of Loans which some or all Borrowers would otherwise request on the same Business Day would exceed the Available Commitment, the Available Commitment will be apportioned among the Borrowers in accordance with resolutions adopted by the boards of directors of the Borrowers and the results of such apportionment will be reported in writing to the Lender by the Adviser.

Section 1.2. The Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Revolving Credit may be availed of by each of the Borrowers in the form of loans (individually a "Loan" and collectively the "Loans"). Each Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $250,000 or any greater amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000. Each Loan shall mature on the Termination Date.

(b) Each Borrower hereby severally and unconditionally, but not jointly or jointly and severally, promises to pay to the Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by the Lender to such Borrower on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby further severally, but not jointly or jointly and severally, agrees to pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to such Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 1.4.

(c) The Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Loans made to each Borrower by the Lender from time to time, including (i) the amounts of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to the Lender hereunder, and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the Lender from each Borrower. The entries made in the accounts of the Lender maintained pursuant to this Section 1.2(c) shall, other than in the case of manifest error, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein recorded, provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to maintain any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note evidencing the Loans of the Lender to such Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (individually a "Note" and collectively the "Notes"). Without regard to the principal amount of any Note stated on its face, the actual principal amount at any time outstanding and owing by the Borrower on account of a Note shall be the sum of all Loans made to such Borrower hereunder less all payments of principal actually received by the Lender with respect to such Loans.

Section 1.3. Manner of Borrowing. (a) Notice to Lender. A Borrower shall give the Lender written notice with respect to any borrowing it intends to make under the Revolving Credit, and each such notice shall include the date of such borrowing and the principal amount thereof. Each such notice shall be in the form of Schedule 1.3(a) attached hereto and shall be given on a Business Day and must be received by the Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date any requested Loan is to be made. The proceeds of each Loan shall be made available to the Borrower requesting such Loan by being deposited in that Borrower's account with the Lender or to such other account as such Borrower may direct in writing at the time a Loan is requested as provided in this Section 1.3; provided, however, that if prior to the time the Lender has disbursed the proceeds of such Loan an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender shall not be required to disburse such Loan. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lender may rely solely upon a written request it reasonably believes is made on behalf of an authorized representative of the relevant Borrower in making Loans hereunder. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender harmless for any commercially reasonable action taken, including, without limitation, the making of Loans to such Borrower hereunder, or loss or expense incurred, by the Lender in good faith reliance upon such written request it reasonably believes is made by an authorized representative of such Borrower for a Loan; provided that such Borrower shall not be liable for any such action, loss or expense to the extent the same shall result directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.

(b) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 4:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date of any requested advance of a borrowing, subject to Section 6 hereof, the Lender shall make available borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Lender in Chicago, Illinois or to such other account as the applicable Borrower may request in writing.

Section 1.4. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) All Loans hereunder shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of one and one-half of one percent (1.5%) plus the Fed Funds Rate from time to time in effect. Interest on the Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and at maturity of the Notes, and interest accrued or outstanding after maturity of the Notes (whether by lapse of time, acceleration, or otherwise) shall be due and payable upon demand. Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from a change in the Fed Funds Rate shall be effective on the date of the relevant change in the Fed Funds Rate.

(b) If any payment of principal on any Loan is not made when due, such unpaid amount shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) from the date such payment was due until paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of three and one-half of one percent (3.5%) plus the Fed Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Section 1.5. Borrowers' Obligations Several. (a) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower shall be liable for the repayment of the principal of, and interest on, Loans made to such Borrower and no other Borrower shall have any liability therefor. The parties hereto agree that with respect to all other amounts payable to the Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, commitment fees and reimbursement for legal expenses, each Borrower shall be liable only for its Pro Rata Share (as defined below) thereof. For purposes of this Agreement, "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, with respect to any Borrower with respect to any amount required to be paid by the Borrowers based on their Pro Rata Share thereof, that percentage determined by dividing the fair market value of such Borrower's total assets by the sum of the fair market value of all of the Borrowers' total assets, provided that the Pro Rata Shares of all Borrowers shall at all times equal 100%.

(b) The obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be several and not joint. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the sole source of payment of the obligations of each Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, the principal of, and interest on, each Loan made to any Borrower, the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.1 and any other amounts payable hereunder shall be the revenues and assets of such Borrower, and not the revenues and assets of any other Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than such Borrower).

Section 1.6. Withdrawal of Borrowers. In the event any Borrower wishes to cease being a party to this Agreement, such Borrower shall give the Lender at least three Business Days' advance written notice thereof. On the date specified in such notice and subject to the receipt by the Lender of the outstanding principal balance of all Loans made to such Borrower which are then outstanding together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and such Borrower's Pro Rata Share of any accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts due hereunder, such Borrower will cease to be a "Borrower" hereunder, provided, however, that any obligations of such Borrower hereunder which would survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof shall survive such Borrower's withdrawal from this Agreement.

SECTION 2. FEES, PREPAYMENTS, REDUCTIONS, AND TERMINATIONS.

Section 2.1. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. During the Commitment Period, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee in an amount equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Commitment, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Accrued fees payable hereunder shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on September 30, 2004, unless the Commitment is terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the final period shall be paid on a pro rated basis on the date of such earlier termination in whole.

(b) Closing Fee. Each Borrower severally agrees to pay to the Lender its Pro Rata Share of a closing fee in the amount of $37,500 payable on the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.2. Optional Prepayments. Any Borrower may prepay any Loan without premium or penalty and in whole or in part (but if in part, then in a principal amount of $300,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) at any time upon prior written or telephonic notice prior to 3:00 p.m. Chicago time to the Lender, by payment to the Lender of the principal amount being prepaid.

Section 2.3. Mandatory Prepayments--Asset Coverage. No Borrower shall permit the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans obtained by it hereunder at any time to exceed the lesser of (a) the Commitment, and (b) such Borrower's Borrowing Limit. Any Borrower exceeding the limits set forth in this Section 2.3 will make prepayments on such Borrower's outstanding Loans which are necessary to cure any such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, within three Business Days after the occurrence thereof.

Section 2.4. Termination By Borrowers. The Borrowers shall have the option at any time to terminate the Lender's Commitment only in whole upon 30 days written notice to the Lender. Upon such termination all amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes will become due and payable on the effective date of such termination without notice to the Borrowers, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note.

Section 2.5. Change in Capital Adequacy Requirements. (a) If the Lender shall reasonably determine that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any existing law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or any of its branches) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the credit which is the subject matter hereof to a level below that which the Lender would have achieved before such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender's policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by the Lender, each Borrower severally shall pay to the Lender such Borrower's Pro Rata Share of such additional amount or amounts reasonably determined by the Lender as will compensate the Lender for such reduction.

(b) If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amount or amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify each of the Borrowers of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and setting out its reasons why it believes an increased payment by each of the Borrowers is due. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the Lender to any of the Borrowers shall be prima facie evidence of the information recorded therein and shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount and the computation thereof that is due. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. The Borrowers shall have no obligation to compensate the Lender for any cost or reduction incurred by it more than one year before the Lender gives notice of the event giving rise to such cost or reduction.

SECTION 3. PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

All payments of principal, interest, fees and all other amounts payable hereunder made by the Borrowers shall be made to the Lender at its office at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000 (or at such other place as the Lender may specify), and in funds there current, for the benefit of the Lender and any other holder of any Note no later than 3:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date such payment is due or as the Lender may otherwise direct. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds at the place of payment, without setoff or counterclaim and without reduction for, and free from, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof (but excluding any taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of the Lender).
