RECITALS

A. Borrower desires to obtain the Loans and other financial accommodations from Lender and Lender is willing to provide the Loans and accommodations all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

B. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in Schedule A and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the rules of construction set forth in Schedule A shall govern. All schedules, attachments, addenda and exhibits hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference, and taken together with this Agreement, constitute but a single agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

1.1 Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date and until the Commitment Termination Date (i) Lender agrees to make available to Borrower advances (each, a “Revolving Credit Advance”) in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Borrowing Availability, and (ii) Borrower may at its request from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 1.1. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be evidenced by, and be repayable in accordance with the terms of, the Revolving Credit Note and this Agreement.

(b) Borrower shall request each Revolving Credit Advance by written notice to Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each a “Notice of Revolving Credit Advance”) given no later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day of the proposed advance. Lender shall be fully protected under this Agreement in relying upon, and shall be entitled to rely upon, (i) any Notice of Revolving Credit Advance believed by Lender to be genuine, and (ii) the assumption that the Persons making electronic requests or executing and delivering a Notice of Revolving Credit Advance were duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Lender shall have actual knowledge to the contrary. As an accommodation to Borrower, Lender may permit telephonic, electronic, or facsimile requests for a Revolving Credit Advance and electronic or facsimile transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Lender by Borrower. Unless Borrower specifically directs Lender in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic, facsimile or electronic communications from Borrower, Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower 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, by facsimile or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrower and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.

(c) In making any Loan hereunder Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender by Borrower and other information available to Lender. Lender shall be under no obligation to make any further Revolving Credit Advance or incur any other Obligation if Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender by the time specified in Section 4.1(e). At Lender’s option, all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be charged directly to the loan account(s) of Borrower maintained by Lender.

1.2 Term and Prepayment. (a) Upon the Commitment Termination Date the obligation of Lender to make Revolving Credit Advances and extend other credit hereunder shall immediately terminate and Borrower shall pay to Lender in full, in cash: (i) all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; and (ii) all other non-contingent Obligations due to or incurred by Lender.

(b) If the Revolving Credit Loan shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Availability, then Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loan in the amount of such excess.

(c) Borrower shall have the right, at any time upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender to (i) terminate voluntarily Borrower’s right to receive or benefit from, and Lender’s obligation to make and to incur, Revolving Credit Advances and (ii) prepay all of the Obligations. The effective date of termination of the Revolving Credit Loan specified in such notice shall be the Commitment Termination Date.

(d) Lender and Borrower may extend the Stated Expiry Date upon terms and conditions as set forth in the Commitment Letter and such other terms and conditions satisfactory and acceptable to Lender in its discretion. If the Stated Expiry Date is extended, no additional closing fee or commitment fee shall be payable in connection with such extension. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a commitment or agreement by Lender to extend the Stated Expiry Date, which shall be in Lender’s sole discretion.

1.3 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans, in part, to refinance existing indebtedness, for transaction expenses, for working capital and other general corporate purposes, and for such other purposes as set forth in the Authorization to Pay Proceeds.

1.4 Single Loan. The Loans and all of the other Obligations of Borrower to Lender shall constitute one general obligation of Borrower secured by all of the Collateral.

1.5 Interest. (a) Borrower shall pay interest to Lender on the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Advances at a floating rate equal to the greater of (i) 11% per annum and (ii) the Index Rate plus 2.75% per annum (the “Revolving Credit Rate”). All computations of interest shall be made by Lender on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. The Index Rate is a floating

rate determined for each day. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees. Each determination by Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. In no event will Lender charge interest at a rate that exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate.

(b) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances (i) in arrears for the preceding calendar month on the first day of each calendar month, (ii) on the Commitment Termination Date, and (iii) if any interest accrues or remains payable after the Commitment Termination Date, upon demand by Lender.

(c) Effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Revolving Credit Rate shall automatically be increased by four percentage points (4%) per annum, and effective upon any other Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Revolving Credit Rate shall automatically be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum (each such increased rate, the “Default Rate”; provided, however, in no event shall the Default Rate exceed the Maximum Legal Rate), and all outstanding Obligations shall continue to accrue interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations.

(d) If any interest or any other payment (including Unused Line Fee, Commissions and Collateral Monitoring Fees) to Lender under this Agreement becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

1.6 Cash Management System. On or prior to the Closing Date and until the Termination Date, Borrower will establish and maintain the cash management system described in Schedule D. All payments in respect of the Collateral shall be made to or deposited in the blocked or lockbox accounts described in Schedule D in accordance with the terms thereof.

1.7 Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the Fees set forth in Schedule E.

1.8 Receipt of Payments. Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement (not otherwise made pursuant to Section 1.9) without set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of all Taxes not later than 12:00 noon New York City time on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the Collection Account. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from any payment to Lender under any Loan Document, then the amount payable to Lender shall be increased so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to that which it would have received had no such deductions been made. For purposes of computing interest and Fees, all payments shall be deemed received by Lender on the first (1st) Business Day following receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account. For purposes of determining the Borrowing Availability, payments shall be deemed received by Lender upon receipt of immediately available funds in the Collection Account.

1.9 Application and Allocation of Payments. Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments against the then due and payable Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable. Lender is authorized to, and at its option

may (without prior notice or precondition and at any time or times), but shall not be obligated to, make or cause to be made Revolving Credit Advances on behalf of Borrower for: (a) payment of all Fees, expenses, indemnities, charges, costs, principal, interest, or other Obligations owing by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) the payment, performance or satisfaction of any of Borrower’s obligations with respect to preservation of the Collateral, or (c) any premium in whole or in part required in respect of any of the policies of insurance required by this Agreement, even if the making of any such Revolving Credit Advance causes the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to exceed the Borrowing Availability, and Borrower agrees to repay immediately, in cash, any amount by which the Revolving Credit Loan exceeds the Borrowing Availability.

1.10 Accounting. Lender is authorized to record on its books and records the date and amount of each Loan and each payment of principal thereof and such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded absent manifest error. Lender shall provide Borrower on a monthly basis a statement and accounting of such recordations but any failure on the part of the Lender to keep any such recordation (or any errors therein) or to send a statement thereof to Borrower shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay any of the Obligations. Except to the extent that Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after such statement and accounting is sent, notify Lender in writing of any objection Borrower may have thereto (stating with particularity the basis for such objection), such statement and accounting shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, absent manifest error.

1.11 Indemnity. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender and its Affiliates, and their respective employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including any and all product liabilities, Environmental Liabilities, Taxes, brokers’ fees and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO BORROWER, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

1.12 Borrowing Base; Reserves. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by Lender (including the eligibility of Accounts) based on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 4.1(e) and such other information available to Lender. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to Lender’s continuing right to withhold from Borrowing Availability reserves, and to increase and decrease such reserves from time to time, if and to the extent that in Lender’s good faith credit judgment such reserves are necessary, including to protect Lender’s interest in the Collateral or to protect Lender against possible non-payment of Accounts for any reason by Account Debtors or possible diminution of the value of any Collateral or possible non-payment of any of the Obligations or for any Taxes or any amounts due any landlord, lessor or any other Person by Borrower or in respect of any state of facts that could constitute a Default. Lender may, at its option, implement reserves by designating as ineligible a sufficient amount of Accounts that would otherwise be Eligible Accounts so as to reduce the Borrowing Base by the amount of the intended reserves.

2. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

2.1 Conditions to the Initial Loans. Lender shall not be obligated to make any of the Loans perform any other action hereunder, until the following conditions have been satisfied in a manner satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, or waived in writing by Lender:

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender (each of which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), and promise to and agree with Lender until the Termination Date as follows:

3.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Borrower: (a) is, as of the Closing Date, and will continue to be (i) a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Louisiana, (ii) duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) in compliance with all Requirements of Law and Contractual Obligations, except to the extent failure to comply therewith could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (b) has and will continue to have (i) the requisite corporate power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business as now, heretofore or proposed to be conducted, and (ii) all licenses, permits, franchises, rights, powers, consents or approvals from or by all Persons or Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over Borrower that are necessary or appropriate for the conduct of its business, except where the failure to maintain such licenses, permits, franchises, rights, powers, consents or approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Executive Offices; Corporate or Other Names. (a) Borrower’s name as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation, (b) the type of entity of Borrower, (c) the organizational identification number issued by Borrower’s state of incorporation or a statement that no such number has been issued, (d) Borrower’s state of incorporation, and (e) the location of Borrower’s chief executive office, corporate offices, warehouses, other locations of Collateral and locations where records with respect to Collateral are kept (including in each case the county of such locations) are as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.2).

Borrower has only one state of incorporation or organization.

3.3 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the creation of all Liens provided for herein and therein: (a) are and will continue to be within Borrower’s power and authority; (b) have been and will continue to be duly authorized by all necessary or proper action; (c) are not and will not be in violation of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Borrower (d) do not and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) upon any of the Collateral; and (e) do not and will not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person. As of the Closing Date, each Loan Document shall have been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Borrower, and each such Loan Document upon such execution and delivery shall be and will continue to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

3.4 Financial Statements and Projections; Books and Records. (a) The Financial Statements delivered by Borrower to Lender for its most recently ended Fiscal Year and Fiscal Month, are true, correct and complete in all material respects and reflect fairly and accurately the financial condition of Borrower as of the date of each such Financial Statement in accordance with GAAP. The Projections most recently delivered by Borrower to Lender have been prepared in good faith, with care and diligence and use assumptions that are reasonable under the circumstances at the time such Projections were prepared and as of the date delivered to Lender and all such assumptions are disclosed in the Projections.

(b) Borrower shall keep adequate Books and Records with respect to the Collateral and its business activities in which proper entries, reflecting all consolidated and consolidating financial transactions, and payments and credits received on, and all other dealings with, the Collateral, will be made in accordance with GAAP and all Requirements of Law and on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements.

3.5 Material Adverse Change. Between the date of Borrower’s most recently audited Financial Statements delivered to Lender and the Closing Date and except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Lender by Borrower: (a) Borrower has not incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, or liabilities for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments that are not reflected in the Projections delivered on the Closing Date and which could, alone or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) there has been no material deviation from such Projections; and (c) no events have occurred that alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of Borrower has or have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default, and to Borrower’s knowledge no third party is in default, under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations, that alone or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 Real Estate; Leasehold Property and Equipment. The Real Property listed in Disclosure Schedule (3.6) constitutes all of the Real Property owned, leased, or used by Borrower in its business, and Borrower will not execute any material agreement or contract in respect of such Real

Property after the date of this Agreement, other than in the ordinary course of business, without giving Lender prompt prior written notice thereof. Borrower holds and will continue to hold good and marketable leasehold title to all of its owned real estate, and good and marketable title to all of its other properties and assets, and valid and insurable leasehold interests in all of its leases (both as lessor and lessee, sublessee or assignee), and none of the properties and assets of Borrower are or will be subject to any Liens, except Permitted Encumbrances. With respect to the Real Property, Leasehold Property and Equipment, Borrower shall use the Real Property, Leasehold Property and Equipment with all reasonable care and caution and in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with all applicable laws; and Borrower shall assume all responsibility and liability arising from the use of the Real Property, Leasehold Property and Equipment.

3.7 Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and Indebtedness. Except as set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.7), as of the Closing Date Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. All of the issued and outstanding Stock of Borrower (including all rights to purchase, options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which Borrower may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Stock) as of the Closing Date is owned by each of the Stockholders (and in the amounts) set forth in Disclosure Schedule (3.7). All outstanding Indebtedness of Borrower as of the Closing Date is described in Disclosure Schedule (5(b)).

3.8 Government Regulation; Permits; Margin Regulations.

(a) Borrower is not subject to or regulated under any Federal or state statute, rule or regulation that restricts or limits such Person’s ability to incur Indebtedness, pledge its assets, or to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. The making of the Loans, the application of the proceeds and repayment thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not and will not violate any Requirement of Law by Borrower.

(b) Borrower is not engaged, nor will it engage, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). Borrower does not own any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock. Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

(c) Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses, approvals, authorizations, licenses, filings, registrations, consents, permits, exemptions, registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations, or other actions or undertakings, consents, certificates, orders or authorizations of any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, any certificates of public convenience and all grants, approvals, licenses, filings and registrations from or to the FCC or any PUC or any other Communications Regulatory Authority or under Communications Law necessary for the lawful conduct of its business as presently conducted, including the provision of the telecommunication services set forth in any Permits (the “Permits”) unless the failure to have any of the same would not

individually or in the aggregate result in a Material Adverse Effect. All of the Permits are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. There are no investigations, actions, claims or proceedings pending or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, as the result of the practices of Borrower or any of its Affiliates pursuant to any violations of or failure to comply with any Communications Laws or otherwise, or threatened in writing that seek the revocation, cancellation, non-renewal, suspension or modification of any of the Permits except where such investigations, actions, claims or proceedings could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Lender will not, by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, be subject to the regulation or control of either the FCC or any PUC.

3.9 Taxes; Charges. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule (3.9) all tax returns, reports and statements required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by Borrower have, as of the Closing Date, been filed and will, until the Termination Date, be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority, except where the failure to file such tax returns, reports and statements could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no tax Lien has been filed against Borrower or its property. Proper and accurate amounts have been and will be withheld by Borrower from its employees for all periods in compliance with all Requirements of Law and such withholdings have and will be timely paid to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, except where the failure to comply with such Requirements of Law could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Disclosure Schedule (3.9) sets forth as of the Closing Date those taxable years for which Borrower’s tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with such audit, or otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described on Disclosure Schedule (3.9), Borrower is not liable for any Charges: (a) under any agreement (including any tax sharing agreements or agreement extending the period of assessment of any Charges) or (b) to Borrower’s knowledge, as a transferee. As of the Closing Date, except as described on Disclosure Schedule (3.9), Borrower has not agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10 Payment of Obligations. Borrower will pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the case may be, all of its Charges and other obligations of whatever nature, except where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of Borrower and none of the Collateral is or could reasonably be expected to become subject to any Lien or forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest.

3.11 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other existing ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a liability of Borrower of more than the Minimum Actionable Amount. Except as disclosed in Disclosure Schedule (3.11), the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of Borrower under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by more than the Minimum Actionable Amount, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 87) did not,

(j) a Change of Control shall have occurred with respect to the Borrower; or

(k) if Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx is not engaged in the day to day business operations of the Borrower consistent with his responsibilities as an officer of the Borrower as of the date hereof; or

(m) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Lender, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred and are then continuing, could reasonably be expected to result in liability of Borrower in an aggregate amount exceeding the Minimum Actionable Amount, or

(n) the occurrence of any Regulatory Event.

7.2 Remedies. (a) If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender may terminate or suspend its obligation to make further Revolving Credit Advances. In addition, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, without notice, take any one or more of the following actions: (i) declare all or any portion of the Obligations to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such Obligations shall become and be due and payable; or (ii) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Sections 7.1(e), (f) or (g), the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable (and any obligation of Lender to make further Loans, if not previously terminated, shall immediately be terminated) without declaration, notice or demand by Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower expressly agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of Lender the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity of redemption, which right Borrower hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned, or continued from time to time with or without notice. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use Borrower’s premises without rent or other charge for such sales or other action with respect to the Collateral for such time as Lender deems necessary or advisable.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at Lender’s request, Borrower agrees, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places that Lender shall reasonably select, whether at its premises or elsewhere. Until Lender is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, Lender shall have the right to complete, assemble, use or operate the Collateral or any part thereof, to the extent that Lender deems appropriate, for the purpose of preserving such Collateral or its value or for any other purpose. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower to maintain or preserve the rights of Borrower as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Lender. Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Lender’s remedies with respect thereto without prior notice or hearing. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages, and demands against Lender, its Affiliates, agents, and the officers and employees of any of them arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of any Collateral except such as are determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely out of the gross negligence

or willful misconduct of such Person. Borrower agrees that ten (10) days’ prior notice by Lender to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is entitled.

(d) Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Lender may have under any Loan Document or at law or in equity. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required. All provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited, to the extent necessary, so that they do not render this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

7.3 Waivers by Borrower. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Loan Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts, Contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws. Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

7.4 Proceeds. The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon any Collateral shall be applied by Lender upon receipt to the Obligations in such order as Lender may deem advisable in its sole discretion, and after the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations, and after the payment by Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Sections 9-608(a)(1) and 9-615(a)(3) of the Code (but only after Lender has received what Lender considers reasonable proof of a subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Borrower or its representatives or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

Each Loan Document shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except as otherwise provided herein or therein. Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate, delegate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties under any Loan Document without the prior express written consent of Lender. Any such purported conveyance by Borrower without the prior express written consent of Lender shall be void. There shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents. Lender reserves the right at any time to create and sell participations in the Loans and

the Loan Documents and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Loans and under the Loan Documents.

9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 No Oral Agreement; Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERENCED HEREIN OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements, commitments, understandings or inducements (oral or written, expressed or implied). No Loan Document may be modified, altered or amended except by a written agreement signed by Lender and Borrower. Borrower shall have all duties and obligations under this Agreement and such other Loan Documents from the date of its execution and delivery, regardless of whether the initial Loan has been funded at that time.

9.2 Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors, consultants (including environmental and management consultants) and auditors retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Loan Documents and the preservation of any rights thereunder; (b) collection including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to Borrower or any other Person on behalf of Borrower by Lender of the proceeds of any Loan (including a wire transfer fee of $25 per wire transfer); (d) any amendment, waiver or other modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to any Loan Document or advice in connection with the administration of the Loans or the rights thereunder; (e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by or between any combination of Lender, Borrower or any other Person), and an appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any Loan Document, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise; and (f) any effort to verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the Collateral.

9.3 No Waiver. Neither Lender’s failure, at any time, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Lender’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof or waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Any suspension or waiver of a Default or other provision under the Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or other provision under any Loan Document, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion. None of the undertakings, indemnities, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of Borrower to Lender contained in any Loan Document and no Default by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in

writing signed by an officer or other authorized employee of Lender and directed to Borrower specifying such suspension or waiver (and then such waiver shall be effective only to the extent therein expressly set forth), and Lender shall not, by any act (other than execution of a formal written waiver), delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder.

9.4 Severability; Section Titles. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by 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 the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Loan Documents, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any financing arrangement under the Loan Documents shall in any way affect or impair the Obligations, duties, covenants, representations and warranties, indemnities, and liabilities of Borrower or the rights of Lender relating to any unpaid Obligation, (due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated), or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is not required until after the Commitment Termination Date, all of which shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that all indemnity obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall survive the Termination Date. The Section titles contained in any Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties thereto.

9.5 Authorized Signature. Until Lender shall be notified in writing by Borrower to the contrary, the signature upon any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto and believed by Lender or any of Lender’s officers, agents, or employees to be that of an officer of Borrower shall bind Borrower and be deemed to be the act of Borrower affixed pursuant to and in accordance with resolutions duly adopted by Borrower’s Board of Directors, and Lender shall be entitled to assume the authority of each signature and authority of the person whose signature it is or appears to be unless the person acting in reliance thereon shall have actual knowledge to the contrary.

9.6 Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any notice, demand, request or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any party by any other party, or whenever any party desires to give or serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 9.6), (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when hand-delivered, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated in Schedule B or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any such communication to any Person

(other than Borrower or Lender) designated in Schedule B to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request or other communication.

9.7 Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts by any one or more of the parties thereto, and all of said counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any Loan Document may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Lender, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

9.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for performance of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.

9.9 GOVERNING LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF REGARDING CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

9.10 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (A) BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN CONNECTICUT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN BORROWER AND LENDER PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CONNECTICUT; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF LENDER. BORROWER AND LENDER EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREE THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO BORROWER OR LENDER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SCHEDULE B OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF BORROWER’S OR LENDER’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

(B) THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LENDER, AND BORROWER ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

9.11 USA Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance therewith.

9.12 Press Releases. Neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates will in the future issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of New Stream Commercial Finance, LLC or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Lender and without the prior written consent of Lender unless (and only to the extent that) Borrower or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, Borrower or Affiliate will consult with Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

9.13 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

9.14 Maximum Legal Rate. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this provision shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Agreement, the Revolving Note and the other Loan Documents. If applicable state or federal law should at any time by judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under this Revolving Credit Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken , reserved, or received with respect to the Loans, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Stated Expiry Date, or if any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of this Revolving Credit Note and all other indebtedness secured by this Agreement, and the provisions of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use or forbearance of the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loans.
