to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements,
Lenders may make revolving loans (the “Receivable
Revolving Loans”)
to the
Companies from time to time during the Revolver Term which, in the aggregate
at
any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x) (I) the Capital
Availability Amount minus
(II)
such reserves as the Agent may reasonably in its good faith judgment deem proper
and necessary from time to time (the “Reserves”)
minus
(III)
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Purchase Order Revolving
Loans and (y) an amount equal to (I) the Accounts Availability minus
(II) the
Reserves. The amount derived at any time from Section 2(a)(i)(A)(y)(I) minus
2(a)(i)(A)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the “Receivable
Formula Amount”.
(B) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ancillary Agreements,
Lenders may make additional revolving loans (the “Purchase
Order Revolving Loans”
together with the Receivable Revolving Loans, the “Revolving
Loans”)
to the
Companies from time to time during the Revolver Term which, in the aggregate
at
any time outstanding, will not exceed the lesser of (x)(I) the Capital
Availability Amount minus
(II) the
Reserves minus
(III)
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Receivable Revolving Loans
and (y) an amount equal to (I) the Purchase Order Availability minus
(II) the
Reserves. The amount derived at any time from Section 2(a)(i)(B)(y)(I) minus
2(a)(i)(B)(y)(II) shall be referred to as the “Purchase
Order Formula Amount”.
(C) The
Companies shall, jointly and severally, execute and deliver to each Lender
on
the Closing Date a Secured Revolving Note evidencing such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the Capital Availability Amount. The Companies hereby
each acknowledge and agree that each Lender’s obligation to purchase a Secured
Revolving Note from the Companies on the Closing Date shall be contingent upon
the satisfaction (or waiver by the Agent in its sole discretion) of the items
and matters set forth in the closing checklist provided by the Agent to the
Companies on or prior to the Closing Date. The Companies hereby each further
acknowledge and agree that, immediately prior to each borrowing hereunder and
immediately after giving effect thereto, the Companies shall be deemed to have
certified to the Lenders that at the time of each such proposed borrowing and
also after giving effect thereto (x) there shall exist no Event of Default,
(y)
all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Companies in
connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are true, correct
and complete and (z) all of each Company’s and its respective Subsidiaries’
covenant requirements under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements have
been met. The Companies hereby agree to provide a certificate confirming the
foregoing concurrently with each request for a borrowing hereunder.
3
(ii) Notwithstanding
the limitations set forth above, if requested by any Company, the Agent retains
the right to lend to such Company from time to time such amounts in excess
of
such limitations as Agent may determine in its sole discretion. In connection
with each such request by one or more Companies (each an “Overadvance
Request”),
the
Companies shall be deemed to have certified, as of the time of such proposed
borrowing and immediately after giving effect thereto, to the satisfaction
of
all Overadvance Conditions. For purposes hereof, “Overadvance
Conditions”
means
(x) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing as of such date; (y)
all
representations, warranties and covenants made by the Companies in connection
with the Security Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be true, correct
and complete as of such date; and (z) the Companies and their respective
Subsidiaries shall have taken all action necessary to grant the Agent “control”
over all of the Companies’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ Deposit Accounts
(the “Control
Accounts”),
with
any agreements establishing “control” to be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent. “Control”
over
such Control Accounts shall be released upon the indefeasible repayment in
full
and termination of the Overadvance (together with all accrued interest and
fees
which remain unpaid in respect thereof). The Companies hereby agree to provide
a
certificate confirming the satisfaction of the Overadvance Conditions
concurrently with the Overadvance Request for same.
(iii) The
Companies acknowledge that, in the exercise of its reasonable credit judgment,
the Agent may increase the advance percentages used in determining Accounts
Availability and may decrease the advance percentages used in determining
Accounts Availability for reasons relating to either an increase in dilution
or
other deterioration of the Accounts, in each case as determined by the Agent
in
its reasonable discretion. Each of the Companies hereby consent to any such
increases or decreases which may limit or restrict advances requested by the
Companies.
4
(iv) If
any
interest, fees, costs or charges payable to the Creditor Parties hereunder
are
not paid when due, each of the Companies shall thereby be deemed to have
requested, and each of the Lenders will be deemed to have made and the Agent
will charge to the Companies’ account with a Revolving Loan immediately due and
payable as of such date in an amount equal to such unpaid interest, fees, costs
or charges; provided,
however,
that
the Agent may elect to extend the maturity of all or a portion of any such
Revolving Loan at any time to a date that is on or prior to the maturity of
the
Loans made other than pursuant to this clause (iv).
(v) If
any
Company at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants contained
in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Agent may, but need not,
perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead
of
such Company (or, at the Agent’s option, in the Agent’s name) and may, but need
not, take any and all other actions which the Agent may deem necessary to cure
or correct such failure (including the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of
Liens, the performance of obligations owed to Account Debtors, lessors or other
obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of
assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement
of instruments). The amount of all monies expended and all costs and reasonable
expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Agent in
connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such
agreements or the taking of such action by the Agent shall be charged to the
Companies’ account as a Revolving Loan and added to the Obligations. To
facilitate the Agent’s performance or observance of such covenants by each
Company, each Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent, or the Agent’s
delegate, acting alone, as such Company’s attorney in fact (which appointment is
coupled with an interest) with the right (but not the duty) from time to time
to
create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and
on
behalf of such Company any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security
agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other
agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed
by such Company.
(vi) The
Agent
will account to Company Agent monthly with a statement of all Revolving Loans
and other advances, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement, and
such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive
absent manifest error unless the Agent is notified by Company Agent in writing
to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each account was rendered
specifying the item or items to which objection is made.
(vii) During
the Revolver Term, the Companies may borrow, prepay and re-borrow Revolving
Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(viii) If
any Eligible Account or any Eligible Credit Insured Account is not paid by
the
Account Debtor within ninety (90) days after the date that such Eligible Account
or such Eligible Credit Insured Account, as applicable, was invoiced or if
any
Account Debtor asserts a deduction, dispute, contingency, set-off, or
counterclaim with respect to any Eligible Account or any Eligible Credit Insured
Account, (a “Delinquent Account”), the Companies shall jointly and
severally (i) reimburse the Lenders for the amount of the Receivable Revolving
Loans made with respect to such Delinquent Account plus an adjustment fee
in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the gross face amount
of such Delinquent Account, or (ii) immediately replace such Delinquent Account
with an otherwise Eligible Account or Eligible Credit Insured
Account.
(ix) If
the
Purchase Order Price set forth in any Eligible Purchase Order is not paid by
the
Approved Leasing Company within the lesser of (A) thirty (30) days of the date
the Products set forth in such Eligible Purchase Order are shipped to the
applicable Golf Course Customer and (B) the date the applicable Golf Course
Customer rejects the Products delivered pursuant to such Purchase Order (a
“Delinquent
Purchase Order”),
the
Companies shall jointly and severally reimburse the Lenders for the amount
of
the Purchase Order Revolving Loan made with respect to such Delinquent Purchase
Order plus
an
adjustment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the
Purchase Price set forth in such Delinquent Purchase Order.

(b) Term
Loan.
On the
Original Closing Date, Calliope Capital Corporation (“Calliope”)

which
was subsequently assigned by Calliope to Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC, Valens Offshore
SPV I, Ltd. and PSource Structured Debt Limited (the “Original
Term Loan”).
On
the Closing Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Original Term Loan
is

Ancillary Agreements, on the Closing Date, each Lender shall make an additional
advance to the Companies in an aggregate amount equal to Two Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,100,000) (the “Additional
Advance”).
The
Original Term Loan and the Additional Advance (collectively, the “Term

shall
be, with respect to principal, payable in consecutive monthly installments
of
principal commencing on October 1, 2008 and on the first day of each month
thereafter, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
or termination of this Agreement. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by the
Secured Convertible Term Notes. The Companies hereby acknowledge and agree
that
each Lender’s obligation to purchase a Secured Convertible Term Note on the
Closing Date shall be contingent upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the Agent)
of the items and matters set forth in the closing checklist provided by the
Agent to the Companies on or prior to the Closing Date.
(c) Closing
Shares.
In
consideration of the Creditor Parties’ agreement to cause a proposal letter

the

which
shares are subject to the same rights, conditions and restrictions as the Note
Shares.
3. Repayment

the terms and provisions of the Notes (and Section 18 hereof if such prepayment

Section 2(a)(ii), shall repay on any day on which the then aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Purchase Order Revolving Loans are in excess of the

in an
amount equal to such excess. Any payments of principal, interest, fees or any
other amounts payable hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement shall be made

available funds.
6
4. Procedure
for Revolving Loans.
Company
Agent may by written notice request a borrowing of Revolving Loans prior to
12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day of its request to incur, on
the
next Business Day, a Revolving Loan. Together with each request for a Revolving
Loan (or at such other intervals as the Agent may request), Company Agent shall
deliver to the Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate in the form of Exhibit
B
attached
hereto, which shall be certified as true and correct by the Chief Executive
Officer or Chief Financial Officer of Company Agent together with all supporting
documentation relating thereto. All Revolving Loans shall be disbursed from
whichever office or other place the Agent may designate from time to time and
shall be charged to the Companies’ account on the Agent’s books. The proceeds of
each Revolving Loan made by the Lenders shall be made available to Company
Agent
on the Business Day following the Business Day so requested in accordance with
the terms of this Section 4 by way of credit to the applicable Company’s
operating account maintained with such bank as Company Agent designated to
the
Agent. Any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder may be charged to the
Companies’ account and shall constitute Revolving Loans.
5. Interest
and Payments.
(a) Interest.
(i) Except
as
modified by Section 5(a)(iii) below, the Companies shall jointly and severally
pay interest at the Receivable Loan Contract Rate, the Purchase Order Contract
Rate or Contract Rate, as applicable, on the unpaid principal balance of each
Loan until such time as such Loan is collected in full in good funds in dollars
of the United States of America.
(ii) Interest
and payments shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year
of
360 days. At the Agent’s option, the Lenders may charge the Companies’ account
for said interest.
(iii) Effective
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and for so long as any Event of
Default shall be continuing, the Receivable Loan Contract Rate, the Purchase
Order Contract Rate and Contract Rate shall automatically be increased as set
forth in the Notes (such increased rate, the “Default
Rate”),
and
all outstanding Obligations, including unpaid interest, shall continue to accrue
interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate applicable
to such Obligations.
(iv) In
no
event shall the aggregate interest payable hereunder or under any Note exceeds
the maximum rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, as in effect
from time to time (the “Maximum
Legal Rate”),
and
if any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is in
contravention of any such law or regulation, interest payable under this
Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement shall be computed on the basis of the
Maximum Legal Rate (so that such interest will not exceed the Maximum Legal
Rate).
(v) The
Companies shall jointly and severally pay principal, interest and all other
amounts payable hereunder, or under any Ancillary Agreement, without any
deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any set-off or
counterclaim.
7
(vi) All
Contract Rate payments made by any Company under the Secured Convertible Term
Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for
or on account of, any future Taxes hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, other than Excluded Taxes,
but only to the extent such Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in the
law
of, or in the application of the law by, the relevant taxing jurisdiction after
March 31, 2008. If any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to any Creditor Party hereunder, the amounts
so payable to such Creditor Party shall be increased to the extent necessary
to
yield to such Creditor Party (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other
Taxes, including those imposed on payments made pursuant to this paragraph
(vi)
of this Section 5(a)) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder
at
the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided,
however,
that no
Company shall be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender
with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes that are directly attributable to such
Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (ix) of this
Section 5(a); and provided,
further,
however,
that if
any Company is required to increase the amounts payable to any Creditor Party
by
reason of this Section 5(a)(vi), such Company shall pay such increased amounts
within ninety (90) day following the date on which such Non-Excluded Taxes
or
Other Taxes were withheld.
(vii) In
addition, the Companies shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(viii) Whenever
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by any Company, as promptly
as
possible thereafter such Company shall send to the Agent for its own account
or
for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy
of
an original official receipt received by such Company showing payment thereof
(or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent). If such Company
fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Companies shall indemnify the Creditor
Parties for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable
by any Creditor Party as a result of any such failure.
(ix) Each
Lender (or its assignee) that is not a “United States person,” as defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S.
Lender”)
shall,
and hereby agrees to, deliver to the Company Agent and the Agent two completed
originals of an appropriate U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as
applicable, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender. Such forms shall be
delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party
to
this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms
promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered
by
such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Company
Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide
any previously delivered certificate to the Company Agent (or any other form
of
certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall
not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such
Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.
8
(x) The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any
other Ancillary Agreement.
(b) Payment;
Certain Closing Conditions.
(i) Payment.
Subject to the terms of Section 5(b)(ii) below, the Companies shall, jointly
and
severally, pay (A) to Laurus Capital Management, LLC, the investment manager

equal to $35,000; this amount, to be calculated on the Closing Date, equals

expenses) incurred in connection with the entering into of this Agreement and
the Ancillary Agreements, plus expenses incurred in connection with each
of LCM and/or Lenders’ legal review and all other related matters; (B) to Valens
Capital Management, LLC, the investment manager of certain of the Lenders
(“VCM”), a non-refundable payment in an amount equal to $31,500; this

advance prepayment discount deposit equal to $5,302.95 or one percent (1.00%)
of
the aggregate principal amount of the increase in such Lender’s Secured
Convertible Term Note. The payments set forth in clauses (i)(A), (B), (C),
(D)
and (E) above shall be deemed fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not

(b) Each
Company hereby (i) authorizes the Agent to file any financing statements,

(including pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC) to file, any financing
statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing

to
avoid the risk of invalidation of said trademarks and service marks. The
foregoing license will terminate on the termination of this Agreement and the
payment in full of all Obligations; provided,
however,

any license, sublicense, or other rights granted by the Agent pursuant to such
license during its term in connection with any enforcement of remedies by Agent

reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect.
16
(b) Subsidiaries.
Each
direct and indirect Subsidiary of each Company, the direct owner of such
Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 12(b).

disclosed on Schedule
12(c),
neither
the offer or issuance of any of the Notes, the Closing Shares or the Warrants,
or the issuance of any of the Warrant Shares or Note Shares, nor the

securities.
(iii) All
issued and outstanding shares of the Parent’s Common Stock: (A) have been

authorization, issuance and delivery of the Notes, the Closing Shares and the
Warrants has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing Date. This

binding obligations enforceable against each such Person in accordance with
their terms, except:
17

limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights;

cause any Person, to directly engage in “short sales” of the Parent’s Common
Stock as long as any amounts under the Notes shall remain
outstanding.
(h) Patriot
Act.
Such
Lender certifies that, to the best of such Lender’s knowledge, such Lender has
not been designated, and is not owned or controlled, by a “suspected terrorist”
as defined in Executive Order 13224. Such Lender seeks to comply with all
applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In
furtherance of those efforts, such Lender hereby represents, warrants and
covenants that: (i) none of the cash or property that such Lender will use
to
make the Loans has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity
that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii) no disbursement by
such Lender to any Company to the extent within such Lender’s control, shall
cause such Lender to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act,
the
United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United
States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing
Act
of 2001. Such Lender shall promptly notify the Company Agent if any of these
representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding such Lender. Such
Lender agrees to provide each Company any additional information regarding
such
Lender that each Company deems necessary or convenient to ensure compliance
with
all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. Such
Lender understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any
of
the foregoing representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by
applicable law or regulation related to money laundering similar activities,
such Lender may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with
applicable law or regulation, including but not limited to segregation and/or
redemption of such Lender’s investment in the Parent. Such Lender further
understands that the Parent may release information about such Lender and,
if
applicable, any underlying beneficial owners, to proper authorities if the
Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests
of
the Parent in light of relevant rules and regulations under the laws set forth
in subsection (ii) above.
37
(i) Limitation
on Acquisition of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any
Ancillary Agreement, or any document, instrument or agreement entered into
in
connection with any other transaction entered into by and between such Lender
and any Company (and/or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any Company), such Lender
(and/or Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender) shall not acquire stock
in
the Parent (including, without limitation, pursuant to a contract to purchase,
by exercising an option or warrant, by converting any other security or
instrument, by acquiring or exercising any other right to acquire, shares of
stock or other security convertible into shares of stock in the Parent, or
otherwise, and such options, warrants, conversion or other rights shall not
be
exercisable) to the extent such stock acquisition would cause any interest
(including any original issue discount) payable by any Company to a Non-U.S.
Lender not to qualify as portfolio interest, within the meaning of Section
871(h)(2) or Section 881(c)(2) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”)
by
reason of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, as applicable,
taking into account the constructive ownership rules under Section 871(h)(3)(C)
of the Code (the “Stock
Acquisition Limitation”).
The
Stock Acquisition Limitation shall automatically become null and void with
respect to a Lender, without any notice to any Company, upon the earlier to
occur of either (a) the Parent’s delivery to Agent of a Notice of Redemption (as
defined in the Secured Convertible Term Notes) or (b) the existence of an Event
of Default at a time when the average closing price of the Common Stock as
reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the immediately
preceding five trading days is greater than or equal to 150% of the Fixed
Conversion Price (as defined in the Secured Convertible Term
Notes).
16. Confidentiality.
Each
Lender covenants and agrees with the Companies that such Lender will not
disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the name of the
Companies, unless expressly agreed to by the Companies or unless and until
such
disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation, and then only to the
extent of such requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Lender
shall
be permitted to discuss, distribute or otherwise transfer any non-public
information of the Companies and its Subsidiaries in such Lender’s possession
now or in the future to (x) its employees, agents, counsel, professional
consultants and accountants who, in each such case, have a specific need to
know
such information and (y) potential or actual (A) direct or indirect investors
in
such Lender and (B) any assignees or transferees of all or a portion of the
Obligations, to the extent that such investor or assignee or transferee enters
into a confidentiality agreement for such benefit of the Companies in such
form
as may be necessary to addresses the Companies’ Regulation FD requirements; (ii)
such Lender (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Lender)
may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax
treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and
the
agreements referred to therein; provided,
however,
that no
Lender (and no employee, representative or other agent thereof) shall disclose
pursuant to this clause (ii) any other information that is not relevant to
understanding the tax treatment or tax structure of such transactions (including
the identity of any party or any information that could lead another to
determine the identity of any party); and (iii) the Agent or any Affiliate
thereof shall be entitled to post on its website a summary of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including the names of one or more of the
Companies and each of their Subsidiaries.
38
17. Power
of Attorney.
Each
Company hereby appoints the Agent, or any other Person whom the Agent may
designate as such Company’s attorney, with power to: (a)(i) execute any security
related documentation on such Company’s behalf and to supply any omitted
information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by such Company
or on such Company’s behalf; (ii) to file financing statements and other
evidence of Liens granted hereunder against such Company covering the Collateral

(iii) sign such Company’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any
Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors, schedules and assignments of Accounts,

to or from Account Debtors; (iv) in the case of any Intellectual Property,
the
Agent may execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements,
instruments, documents and papers as the Agent may request to evidence the
Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and
general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(v)
to do all other things the Agent deems necessary to carry out the terms of
Section 6 of this Security Agreement and (b) upon the occurrence and during
the
continuance of an Event of Default (i) endorse such Company’s name on any
checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, drafts or other forms of payment
or
security that may come into the Agent’s possession; (ii) verify the validity,
amount or any other matter relating to any Account by mail, telephone, telegraph
or otherwise with Account Debtors; (iii) do all other things necessary to carry

(iv)
notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of such
Company’s mail to an address designated by the Agent, and to receive, open and
dispose of all mail addressed to such Company. Each Company hereby ratifies
and
approves all acts of the attorney. Neither the Agent, nor the attorney will
be
liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of
fact
or law, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as the Agent has a security
interest and until the Obligations have been fully satisfied.

Lender’s agreement to make Loans and extend financial accommodations under and

21. Remedies.
Following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, the Agent
shall have the right to demand repayment in full of all Obligations, whether
or
not otherwise due. Until all Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly
satisfied, the Agent shall retain its Lien in all Collateral. The Agent shall
have, in addition to all other rights provided herein and in each Ancillary
Agreement, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and under
other applicable law, all other legal and equitable rights to which the Agent
may be entitled, including the right to take immediate possession of the
Collateral, to require each Company to assemble the Collateral, at Companies’
joint and several expense, and to make it available to the Agent at a place
designated by the Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties and
to
enter any of the premises of any Company or wherever the Collateral shall be
located, with or without force or process of law, and to keep and store the
same
on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the property of any
Company, such Company agrees not to charge the Agent or any Lender for storage
thereof), and the right to apply for the appointment of a receiver for such
Company’s property. Further, the Agent may, at any time or times after the
occurrence of an Event of Default that is continuing, sell and deliver all
Collateral held by or for the Agent at public or private sale for cash, upon
credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent, in its
sole discretion, deems advisable or the Agent may otherwise recover upon the
Collateral in any commercially reasonable manner as the Agent, in its sole
discretion, deems advisable. The requirement of reasonable notice shall be
met
if such notice is mailed postage prepaid to Company Agent at Company Agent’s
address as shown in the Agent’s records, at least ten (10) days before the time
of the event of which notice is being given. The Agent may be the purchaser
at
any sale, if it is public. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing
remedies, and not without limitation of any remedies with respect to
Intellectual Property Collateral, the Agent may exercise the rights and license
granted under Section 12(j) hereof. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first
to all costs and expenses of sale, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and
second to the payment (in whatever order the Agent elects) of all Obligations.
After the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations, and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required
by
any provision of law, including Section 9-608(a)(1) of the UCC (but only after
the Agent has received what the Agent considers reasonable proof of a
subordinate party’s security interest), the surplus, if any, shall be paid to
Company Agent (for the benefit of the applicable Companies) or its
representatives or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same,
or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. The Companies shall remain
jointly and severally liable to the Creditor Parties for any deficiency. The
parties hereto each hereby agree that the exercise by any party hereto of any
right granted to it or the exercise by any party hereto of any remedy available
to it (including, without limitation, the issuance of a notice of redemption,
a
borrowing request and/or a notice of default), in each case, hereunder or under
any Ancillary Agreement shall not constitute confidential information and no
party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such information as
confidential, except for the portions of such publicly filed documents that
are
subject to confidential treatment request made by the Companies to the
SEC.
22. Waivers.
To the
full extent permitted by applicable law, each Company hereby 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 of this Agreement
and
the Ancillary Agreements or any other notes, commercial paper, Accounts,
contracts, Documents, Instruments, Chattel Paper and guaranties at any time
held
by the Agent on which such Company may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies
and confirms whatever the Agent may do in this regard; (b) all rights to notice
and a hearing prior to the Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to the
Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security
that might be required by any court prior to allowing the Agent to exercise
any
of its remedies; and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption
laws. Each Company acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its
choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements
and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.
43
23. Expenses.
The
Companies shall jointly and severally pay all of the Agent’s out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel
and
appraisers, in connection with (x) the preparation, execution and delivery
of
this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and (y) in connection with the
prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding
concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with
this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. The Companies shall also jointly
and
severally pay all of the Agent’s reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in
connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver,
any
amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (b)
the
Agent’s obtaining performance of the Obligations under this Agreement and any
Ancillary Agreements, including, but not limited to, the enforcement or defense
of the Agent’s security interests, assignments of rights and Liens hereunder as
valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect,
collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) any
appraisals or re-appraisals of any property (real or personal) pledged to the
Agent by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries as Collateral for, or any other
Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder and (e) any consultations
in
connection with any of the foregoing. The Companies shall also jointly and
severally pay each Creditor Party the customary bank charges for any bank
services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by
it
for any Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any Company’s or such Subsidiary’s
request or in connection with any Company’s loan account with such Creditor
Party. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and
search fees, taxes and interest payable by the Companies to the Creditor Parties
shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax
by
any Governmental Authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any
transaction between any Company and/or any Subsidiary thereof, on the one hand,
and Creditor Party on the other hand, which such Creditor Party is or may be
required to withhold or pay (including, without limitation, as a result of
a
breach by any Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Section 13(u) herein),
the
Companies hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold such Creditor Party
harmless in respect of such taxes, and the Companies will repay to such Creditor
Party the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to the Companies’
account; and until the Companies shall furnish such Creditor Party with
indemnity therefor (or supply such Creditor Party with evidence satisfactory
to
it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), such Creditor
Party may hold without interest any balance standing to each Company’s credit
and the Agent shall retain its Liens in any and all Xxxxxxxxxx.
00
00. Assignment;
Register.
(a) Each
Lender may assign any or all of the Obligations to any Person and, subject
to
acceptance and recordation thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 24(b) and
receipt by the Agent of a copy of the agreement or instrument pursuant to which
such assignment is made (each such agreement or instrument, an “Assignment
Agreement”),
any
such assignee shall succeed to all of the Lenders’ rights with respect thereto;
provided that no Lender shall be permitted to effect any such assignment to
a
direct competitor of any Company unless an Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing and such Lender has given Company Agent no less than fifteen (15)
Business Days prior notice of such assignment. Each Lender may from time to
time
sell or otherwise grant participations in any of the Obligations and the holder
of any such participation shall, subject to the terms of any agreement between
such Lender and such holder, be entitled to the same benefits as such Lender
with respect to any security for the Obligations in which such holder is a
participant. Each Company agrees that each such holder may exercise any and
all
rights of banker’s lien, set-off and counterclaim with respect to its
participation in the Obligations as fully as though such Company were directly
indebted to such holder in the amount of such participation. No Company may
assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Agent. All of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants,
provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each
of the undersigned, and shall bind the representatives, successors and permitted
assigns of each Company.
(b) The
Agent
shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, for this purpose only as agent for
each Company, (i) a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and (ii)
a
book entry system, within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Sections
5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) (the “Register”),
in
which it will register the name and address of each Lender and the name and
address of each assignee of each Lender under this Agreement, and the principal
amount of, and stated interest on, the Loans owing to each such Lender and
assignee pursuant to the terms hereof and each Assignment Agreement. The right,
title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans
shall
be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register, and no
assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. The Companies
and
each Creditor Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender and owner of
an
interest in the Obligations hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary or any notation of ownership or other
writing or any Note. The Register shall be available for inspection by any
Company or Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon reasonable
prior notice.
25. No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
Failure
by any Creditor Party to exercise any right, remedy or option under this
Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any supplement hereto or thereto or any
other agreement between or among any Company and such Creditor Party in
exercising the same, will not operate as a waiver; no waiver by any Creditor
Party will be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent
specifically stated. The Creditor Parties’ rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements will be cumulative and not exclusive
of
any other right or remedy which any of the Creditor Parties may
have.
26. Application
of Payments.
Each
Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all
payments at any time or times hereafter received by the Agent from or on such
Company’s behalf and each Company hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent shall
have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments
received at any time or times hereafter against the Obligations hereunder in
such manner as the Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any entry by the
Agent upon any of the Agent’s books and records.
45
27. Indemnity.
Each
Company hereby jointly and severally indemnifies and holds each Creditor Party,
and its respective affiliates, 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 reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of
investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) which 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 or any of the Ancillary Agreements 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, the Ancillary Agreements 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, 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 ANY COMPANY OR TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY SUCCESSOR,
ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS
DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN
EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY
AGREEMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR
THEREUNDER.
28. Revival.
The
Companies further agree that to the extent any Company makes a payment or
payments to any Creditor Party, which payment or payments or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party
under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause,
then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if said payment had not been made.
29. Borrowing
Agency Provisions.
(a) Each

the
Agent harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses,
damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against the Agent by any Person
arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements

facility with a borrowing agent, reliance by the Agent on any request or

other notice, any failure of the Agent to pursue to preserve its rights against
any Company, the release by the Agent of any Collateral now or thereafter
acquired from any Company, and such agreement by any Company to pay upon any
notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse
by the Agent to any Company or any Collateral for such Company’s Obligations or
the lack thereof.
(d) Each
Company expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity, exoneration, contribution or any other claim which such Company
may
now or hereafter have against the other or other Person directly or contingently
liable for the Obligations, or against or with respect to any other’s property
(including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the
Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement,

more
common shareholders, directors and officers, (ii) the businesses and corporate

constituted a consolidated corporate group, (iv) Companies will receive a
substantial economic benefit from entering into this Agreement and will receive
a substantial economic benefit from the application of each Loan hereunder,
in
each case, whether or not such amount is used directly by any Company and (v)
all requests for Loans hereunder by the Company Agent are for the exclusive
and
indivisible benefit of the Companies as though, for purposes of this Agreement,
the Companies constituted a single entity.
