(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the option of the Lender and regardless of whether notice of such Event of Default has been given, the unpaid balance of the Loan shall bear interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, at a rate equal to 18.0% per annum (the “Post-Default Rate”), until such Event of Default is cured or waived.

Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit any obligation of any Borrower pursuant to any Financing Document to remit to a collateral or similar account maintained by the Lender the proceeds of any insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of any Casualty Event. For the avoidance of doubt, no mandatory prepayment shall be due under this subsection (c) if the Borrower applies the proceeds of any insurance, condemnation award or other compensation in respect of the applicable Casualty Event to replace such loss on or before the date 120 days after the receipt by Borrower of such proceeds.

Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall (a) give the Lender prompt written notice of any Commercial Tort Claim of a Borrower not specifically identified herein which has a value in excess of $100,000 and any Letter of Credit Right of any Borrower.

Section 4.06 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes, and appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s officers, employees, or agents designated by Lender) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney, with power to (a) if any Borrower refuses to, or fails timely to execute and deliver any of the documents described in Section 4.05, sign the name of such

Borrower on any of the documents described in Section 4.05, (b) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to the Collateral, drafts against Account Debtors, or notices to Account Debtors, (c) send requests for verification of Accounts, (d) endorse Borrower’s name on any Collection item that may come into Lender’s possession, (e) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s policies of insurance and make all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, and (f) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Accounts, Chattel Paper, or General Intangibles directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms that Lender determines to be reasonable, and Lender may cause to be executed and delivered any documents and releases that Lender determines to be necessary. The appointment of Lender as Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of its rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully and finally repaid and performed and Lender’s obligations to extend credit hereunder are terminated.

Section 4.07 Right to Inspect. Lender (through any of its officers, employees, or agents) shall have the right, from time to time hereafter, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, during business hours, to inspect the Books and to check, test, and appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the Collateral. Lender shall provide the Borrower with copies of all final appraisals and final reports produced in connection with such inspections and appraisals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Lender may from time to time obtain or conduct (in all events, at Borrower’s expense) appraisals conducted by such appraisers as are satisfactory to Lender; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (in which case the following limitations shall be inapplicable), Borrower shall only be responsible for the expenses of such appraisals one (1) time during each fiscal year; and

(b) Lender may from time to time conduct commercial finance audits of Borrower’s Books. Borrower shall pay to Lender audit fees in connection with each such audit in an amount equal to Lender’s customary per diem charges therefore plus usual and customary out-of-pocket expenses for internal auditors, and the reasonable usual and customary fees and charges (including out-of-pocket expenses) of external auditors; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (in which case the following limitations shall be inapplicable), Borrower shall only be responsible for the expenses of such audits one (1) time during each fiscal year.

Section 4.08 Control Agreements.

No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts or other Investment Property shall be modified by Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Lender may notify any securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Securities Account or any related Investment Property maintained or held thereby following the expiry of any cure period with respect to such Default or Event of Default and remit the proceeds thereof to the Lender.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CORPORATION

The Borrower represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Purchaser that:

Section 5.01 Incorporation and Status. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly incorporated and organized, and is validly existing under its jurisdiction of organization. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly registered, licensed or qualified as an foreign corporation, and is up to date in the filing of all corporate and similar returns under the laws of those jurisdictions where it operates and where failure to be so registered, licensed, qualified or up to date would have a Material Adverse Effect on it.

Section 5.02 Subsidiaries. All of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 5.02. Each of the Subsidiaries is, directly or indirectly, wholly-owned by the Borrower.

Section 5.03 Corporate Power and Due Authorization. The Borrower has the corporate power and capacity to enter into, and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Documents. Each of this Agreement and the Financing Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower (including, without limitation, receipt of all requisite director and shareholder approvals) and is a valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the usual exceptions as to bankruptcy and the availability of equitable remedies.

Section 5.04 Business of the Borrower. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has the corporate power and capacity to own, lease or license its assets and to carry on its business. The Borrower’s domicile and principal place of business and the place where it keeps its books and records and personal property is located in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Section 5.05 No Contravention. Neither the entering into and performing under this Agreement or the Financing Documents or the performance by the Borrower of any of its other obligations hereunder or thereunder will contravene, breach, result in any default or result in any acceleration, bonus or benefit to any other party under the articles, by-laws, articles of incorporation or other organizational documents of the Borrower or under any mortgage, lease, license agreement, contract, agreement, other legally binding instrument, license, permit, statute, regulation, order, judgment, decree or law to which it is a party or by which it may be bound.

Section 5.06 Not Insolvent. The fair value of the property of the Company and its affiliates is greater than the amount of the Company’s liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) as such value is established and liabilities evaluated for purposes of Section 101(32) of the Bankruptcy Code. The present fair salable value of the property of the Company and its affiliates in an orderly liquidation of the Company and its affiliates is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its affiliates (to the extent the Company has liability for any debts of any such affiliate) on their respective debts as they become absolute and matured. The Company is able to realize upon its property and pay its debts and other liabilities (including disputed, contingent and unliquidated

liabilities) as they mature in the normal course of business. The Company does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Company’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature. The Company is not engaged in business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which the Company’s property would constitute unreasonably small capital. None of the Borrower, any creditor of the Borrower or any other Person has instituted any proceeding or taken any corporate action or executed any agreement in connection with the commencement of any proceeding:

(i)

seeking to adjudicate the Borrower or any Subsidiary a bankrupt or insolvent;

(ii)

seeking liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement, protection, relief or composition of the Borrower or any material part of its property or debt, or making a proposal with respect to the Borrower under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or compromise of debts or other similar laws; or

(iii)

seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, agent, custodian or other similar official for the Borrower or for any material part of its properties and assets.

Section 5.07 Approvals and Consents. Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.07, no authorization, consent or approval of, or filing with or notice to, any governmental agency, regulatory body, court or other person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance and compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Financing Documents nor will such performance and compliance contravene any statute, rule or regulation binding on the Borrower.

Section 5.08 ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations 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 by more than $100,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (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 by more than $100,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States (a “Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary thereof that is not subject to United States law (a “Foreign Plan”):

(a)

any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices;

(b)

the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve

established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles; and

(c) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

Section 5.09 As to Certain Contracts In and Out of the Ordinary Course. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to nor is bound by any contract, agreement or commitment that materially adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Borrower’s business or its financial condition or any of its assets. Additionally, since December 31, 2009, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has (except as set forth on Schedule 5.09:

(i)

other than in the ordinary course and consistent with past practices of the Borrower, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or created, assumed or permitted any encumbrance on or in respect of, its property or assets or any part thereof;

(ii)

incurred, assumed or become subject to any material liability except in the ordinary course of business;

(iii)

amended its articles, by-laws or other governing documents other than changing the applicable corporation’s name; and

(iv)

conducted its business, in all material respects, other than in the ordinary course;

(v)

cancelled or released any debts or claims or waived or surrendered any rights which, in the aggregate, are material; or

(vi)

except as described in the Borrower’s financial statements, made any change in its accounting principles and practices as theretofore applied including, without limitation, the basis upon which its assets and liabilities are recorded on its books and its earnings, profits and losses are ascertained.

Section 5.10 No Default Under Agreements. None of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries is in default or breach under any term or provision of its organizational documents, by-laws or resolutions or of any contract, agreement, lease or other instrument to which it is a party which default or breach has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower taken as a whole, there exists no state of facts that after notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default or breach, all such contracts, agreements, leases and other instruments are now in good standing in all material respects, and the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, is entitled to all benefits, rights and privileges thereunder.

Section 5.11 Title to Assets. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are the absolute beneficial owners of and have good and marketable title, free of all charges except for Permitted Encumbrances, to all the material assets owned by them and used in connection with the Borrower’s business.

Section 5.12 Financial Matters. Each of the (a) audited consolidated financial statements (as restated) of the Borrower and notes thereto as at and for the period ended December 31, 2008 and (b) unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and notes thereto as at and for the period ended September 30, 2009 present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower as at the dates indicated and the results of its operations and changes in its financial position for the periods specified and reflect all material liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of the Borrower as of the dates thereof and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied, except as otherwise stated therein, on a consistent basis. Other than as set forth on Schedule 5.12 hereof, since September 30, 2009, there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, or condition of the Borrower, financial or otherwise.

Section 5.13 Commercial Relationships. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all material obligations under or related to its relationships with its three largest suppliers and ten largest customers by revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009, and none of such parties has terminated, significantly reduced or communicated any intention to terminate or significantly reduce its relationship with the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.14 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.14, none of Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets has ever been used by any Borrower or Subsidiary or by previous owners or operators in the disposal of, or to produce, store, handle, treat, release, or transport, any Hazardous Materials, where such production, storage, handling, treatment, release or transport was in violation, in any material respect, of applicable Environmental Law, (b) to Borrower’s knowledge, none of Borrower’s properties or assets has ever been designated or identified in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a Hazardous Materials disposal site, (c) no Borrower has received notice that a Lien arising under any Environmental Law has attached to any revenues or to any Property owned or operated by any Borrower, and (d) no Borrower has received a summons, citation, notice, or directive from the Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal or state governmental agency concerning any action or omission by any Borrower resulting in the releasing or disposing of Hazardous Materials into the environment. As used herein, “Hazardous Materials” means (a) substances that are defined or listed in, or otherwise classified pursuant to, any applicable laws or regulations as “hazardous substances,” “hazardous materials,” “hazardous wastes,” “toxic substances,” or any other formulation intended to define, list, or classify substances by reason of deleterious properties such as ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, or “EP toxicity”, (b) oil, petroleum, or petroleum derived substances, natural gas, natural gas liquids, synthetic gas, drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas, or geothermal resources, (c) any flammable substances or explosives or any radioactive materials, and (d) asbestos in any form or electrical equipment that contains any oil or dielectric fluid containing levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in excess of 50 parts per million.

Section 5.15 Assets in Good Condition. All the material physical assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are in good operating condition and in a state of good maintenance and repair subject to the usual wear and tear for assets of that age.

Section 5.16 Licenses and Agreements. Each of the material licenses and agreements to which the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are a party is in good standing and in full force and effect, and neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries nor, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Borrower, any other party thereto, is in breach of any material covenants, conditions or obligations contained therein.

Section 5.17 Tax Matters. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state and other income Tax returns which are required to be filed, and has paid all Taxes as shown on said returns, as well as all other Taxes to the extent that they have become due. All Tax liabilities of Borrower are adequately provided for on Borrower’s books, including interest and penalties. No income Tax liability of a material nature has been asserted by taxing authorities for Taxes in excess of those already paid, and no taxing authority has notified Borrower or any Subsidiary of any deficiency in any federal, state and other income Tax returns.

Section 5.18 Insurance. All physical assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are covered by insurance which is with responsible insurers against such risks and in such amounts as are reasonable for prudent owners of comparable assets. The Borrower is not in default with respect to any of the material provisions contained in any current insurance policy nor has it failed to give any notice or pay any premium or present any unsettled claim under any current insurance policy in a due and timely fashion.

Section 5.19 Intellectual Property. Borrower exclusively owns or has valid licenses to all Intellectual Property necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted (i) without any conflict with, or infringement of, the Intellectual Property or other rights (other than patent rights) of other Persons, and (ii) without any known conflict with or infringement of any patent rights of other Persons. Schedule 5.19 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all patents and patent applications, trademark registrations and applications therefor, registered copyrights and domain names, in the United States and all foreign jurisdictions, that are owned by Borrower. To Borrower’s knowledge, no product or service marketed or sold (or currently proposed to be marketed or sold) by the Borrower, and no conduct of Borrower in the course of conducting its business as presently conducted, violates any license or infringes any Intellectual Property rights of any other Person. Other than with respect to commercially available software products under standard end-user object code license agreements, the Dell License, the Cisco License, the Bull License and non-exclusive licenses to Borrower’s Intellectual Property granted in the ordinary course of business, to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no outstanding options, licenses, agreements, claims, encumbrances or shared ownership interests of any kind relating to the Intellectual Property owned by the Borrower. The Borrower has not received any communications alleging that the Borrower has violated or infringed or, by conducting its business, would violate or infringe any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, trade secrets, mask works or other proprietary or Intellectual Property rights or processes of any other Person. The Borrower has obtained and possesses valid licenses to use all of the software programs present on the computers and other software-enabled electronic devices that it owns or leases or that it has otherwise provided to its employees for their use in

connection with the Borrower’s business. It is not and will not be necessary to use any Intellectual Property of any of Borrower’s employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by, or performance of services for, the Borrower other than inventions that have been validly and irrevocably assigned in writing to the Borrower or a Subsidiary. Each employee and consultant has validly and irrevocably assigned to the Borrower or a Subsidiary in writing all Intellectual Property rights he or she owns that were developed by such employee or consultant: (1) within the scope of his or her employment or in connection with his or her performance of services for the Borrower and (2) that are necessary for Borrower’s business as now conducted and/or as presently proposed to be conducted, regardless of whether such Intellectual Property rights were developed during or prior to such employee or consultant’s employment or performance of services for the Borrower or a Subsidiary. The Borrower has not embedded or used any open source, copyleft or community source code (including but not limited to any libraries or code licensed under any General Public License, Lesser General Public License or similar license arrangement) in any of its products or in the development of such products, or in the conduct of the Borrower’s business, in such a way that would require Borrower to (i) make or permit any disclosure or to make available any source code for its (or any of its licensors’) proprietary software, (ii) distribute or make available any of the Borrower’s or its licensors’ proprietary software or Intellectual Property without charge (or to permit any such distribution or availability), or (iii) make Borrower’s or Borrower’s licensors’ proprietary software licensable for the purpose of making derivative works.

Section 5.20 Permits, Registrations and Elections. The Borrower and the Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, approvals, consents, authorizations, registrations, certificates and franchises of governmental agencies or regulatory bodies required to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business (collectively, the “Permits”) except where the failure to hold such Permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower. All the Permits are in full force and effect; the Borrower and the Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all the terms and conditions relating to the Permits; and there are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Borrower, after due inquiry, threatened that may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, rescission or any adverse modification of any of the Permits nor, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Borrower, after due inquiry, are there any facts upon which proceedings could reasonably be based.

Section 5.21 Compliance with Laws and Litigation.

(a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is conducting its business in compliance with all applicable Laws of each jurisdiction in which its business is carried on, except where the failure to be in such compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower;

(b) There is no court, administrative, regulatory or similar proceeding (whether civil, quasi-criminal or criminal); arbitration or other dispute settlement procedure; investigation or enquiry by any governmental, administrative, regulatory or similar body; or any similar matter or proceeding (collectively, “Proceedings”) against or involving the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their officers or directors (whether in progress, pending or, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Borrower,

threatened); to the knowledge of the Borrower, no event has occurred that might give rise to any Proceedings and the Borrower is not aware of any existing grounds on which such Proceedings might be commenced and there is no judgment, decree, injunction, rule, award or order of any court, government department, board, commission, agency, arbitrator or similar body outstanding against the Borrower, officers, directors or its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.22 Material Facts Disclosed. None of the statements, documents, certificates or other items prepared or supplied by the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby contains an untrue statement of a material fact, or fails to disclose a fact that is necessary to be made in order for any material statement not to be misleading.

Section 5.23 No Rights to Acquire Assets. No person has any agreement or option or right or privilege (whether pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement for the purchase of any assets of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries that would cause a Material Adverse Effect or materially impair the Lender’s rights with respect to the Collateral or under the Financing Agreements.

Section 5.24 Indebtedness. The Borrower has no Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any other direct or contingent Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness.

There is no location at which the Borrower or any Subsidiary has any assets (except for inventory or products in transit) other than those locations listed on Schedule 5.26. Schedule 5.26 contains a true, correct and complete list, as of the date hereof, of each place of business of the Borrower and each Subsidiary and the chief executive office of the Borrower and each Subsidiary.

Section 5.27 Predecessors. Schedule 5.27 contains a list of all corporations, predecessors, subsidiaries and other legal entities (a) which have been wound up into or amalgamated with the Borrower or (b) from which Borrower has purchased material assets during the past five (5) years.

The minute books, stock certificate books and stock transfer ledgers of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are true, correct, complete and up-to-date and contain the minutes of all meetings, and all resolutions, of the board of directors thereof (and all committees thereof) and shareholders thereof, except that minutes of the most recent meeting of the directors may not be included or may be included in such minute books in draft form.

Section 5.29 Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The proceeds of the Loan will be used solely as provided in this Agreement, and none of such proceeds will be used (i) for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” as defined in Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. Parts 220, 221 and 224), (ii) for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase

or carry a “margin stock,” or (iii) for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X. Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock.” Neither Borrower nor any Person acting on behalf of Borrower has taken or will take any action which might cause any of the Financing Documents to violate Regulations T, U or X, or any other regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act or any rule or regulation thereunder, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect.

Section 5.30 Accounts. Schedule 5.30 lists, as of the Closing Date, all banks and other financial institutions at which Borrower maintains DDAs, and such Schedule correctly identifies the name and address of each depository, the name in which such account is held, a description of the purpose of the account and the complete account number of such account. Account number 1892029461 maintained at Comerica Bank contains solely cash collateral in support of those letters of credit issued by Comerica Bank on behalf of the Borrower.

Section 5.31 Liens. This Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Lender legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Collateral, and all necessary and appropriate recordings and filings have been made in all necessary and appropriate public offices (including the offices specified on the Perfection Certificate), and all other necessary and appropriate action has been taken, so that each such Security Document creates a perfected Lien on and security interest in all right, title, estate and interest of the Borrower in the Collateral covered thereby, prior and superior to all other Liens and subject to no other Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances; provided that with respect to any Collateral that consists of Intellectual Property (the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), (A) the Liens created by this Agreement in the Intellectual Property Collateral shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, only if and to the extent such perfection may be achieved by filing UCC financing statements and the Patent and Trademark Security Agreements (or short forms thereof) in the USPTO, (B) subsequent filings in the USPTO, as applicable, may be necessary to perfect any security interest in any such Intellectual Property Collateral acquired or otherwise owned by any Obligor after the date hereof and (C) the taking of actions outside the United States may be required in order to perfect the Lien on any Intellectual Property Collateral which is protected under non-U.S. law.

Section 5.32 Investment Company Act. None of the Borrower, any Person Controlling the Borrower, or any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

All provisions contained herein which are qualified by or require any Person or entity to make a determination or assessment of any event or circumstance or other matter to its knowledge shall be a reference to the knowledge of such Person or entity or knowledge which such Person or entity should reasonably be expected to have. The Lender will be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement notwithstanding any investigation which the Lender may undertake or which may be undertaken on the Lender’s behalf.

Section 6.14 Further Documentation. The Borrower will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) from time to time at its expense promptly and duly authorize, execute and deliver such further instruments and documents, and take such further action, as the Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of preserving the Collateral, and full benefits of, and the rights and powers granted by, the Financing Documents and the Liens granted to the Lender therein (including the filing of any financing statements or financing change statements under any applicable legislation, application for the registration or an application for the registration of a rectification with respect to the Collateral and including any steps required to register security on owned real property if necessary).

(e) Without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the UCC), set off and apply to the Secured Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower or any Guarantor held by the Lender (including any amounts received in the Cash Management Accounts), or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any Guarantor held by the Lender;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender’s benefit;

(g) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;

(h) Lender shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows, which form and manner of notice Borrower hereby agrees shall be commercially reasonable:

(i)

Lender shall give Borrower a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and

(ii)

The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 9.06, at least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; provided that no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market;

(i) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;

(j) Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing;

(k) Lender shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Financing Document; and

(l) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Any excess will be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Lender to Borrower.

Section 8.03 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

Section 8.04 Notice of Event of Default. The Borrower shall promptly give notice in writing to the Lender of the occurrence of any Event of Default or other event which, with the lapse of time or giving of notice or otherwise, would be an Event of Default, forthwith upon becoming aware thereof. Such written notice shall specify the nature of such default or Event of Default and the steps taken to remedy the same.

Section 8.05 Default under Other Encumbrances. Any amount paid by the Lender before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default on account of monies payable under any Lien upon the Collateral or any part thereof shall be repaid by the Borrower to the Lender on demand and shall:

(a) be added to the Secured Obligations and constitute a charge upon the Collateral; and

(b) bear interest at the rate equal to the Post Default Rate per annum as a reasonable and genuine pre-estimate of damages and not as a penalty.

Section 8.06 Judgment. Neither the taking of any judgment nor the exercise of any power of seizure or sale shall operate to extinguish the liability of the Borrower to perform the Obligations nor shall such operate as a merger of any covenant or affect the right of the Lender to receive interest at the specified rate, and any judgment shall bear interest at such rate.

Section 8.07 Application of Proceeds. Any and all amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations after (a) the Loan has automatically become immediately due and payable, or (b) the exercise of remedies by the Lender, shall be applied first to reimbursement of expenses and indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the other Financing Documents; second to accrued interest on the Loan; third to fees, if any; fourth pro rata to the principal portion of the Loan; fifth to any and all remaining Secured Obligations; and, sixth any excess shall be paid to the Borrower or to such other party as otherwise required by law.

Section 8.08 Limitation of Liability. The Lender shall not be liable by reason of any entry into or taking possession of any of the Collateral charged or intended to be charged by the Security Documents or any part thereof, to account as mortgagee in possession or for anything except actual receipts or be liable for any loss on realization or any act or omission for which a secured party in possession might be liable. The Lender shall not, by virtue of these presents, be deemed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Collateral. The Lender shall not be liable or accountable for any failure to exercise its remedies, take possession of, seize, collect, realize, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or obtain payment for the Collateral and shall not be bound to institute proceedings for such purposes or for the purpose of preserving any rights, remedies or powers of the Lender, the Borrower or any other person in respect of same. The Borrower hereby releases and discharges the Lender from every claim of every nature, whether sounding in damages or not, which may arise or be caused to the Borrower or any person claiming through or under the Borrower by reason or as a result of anything done or omitted to be done, as the case may be, by the Lender or any successor or assign claiming through or under the Lender under the provisions of this Agreement, unless such claim is the result of the Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 8.09 Financial Covenant Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, in the event that Borrower fails to comply with any Financial Covenant contained in Section 6.20 (Financial Covenants), Borrower shall have the right, no later than twenty (20) days after the delivery of a Notice of Intent to Cure to issue capital stock to new or existing shareholders in exchange for cash in an aggregate amount not in excess of the minimum amount necessary to cure the relevant failure to comply with such Financial Covenant, the proceeds of which shall be contributed to the equity capital of Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”), such Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a) EBITDA shall be increased solely for the purpose of measuring such Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

(b) net revenue, as otherwise calculated in accordance with GAAP, shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring such Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

(c) Liquidity shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring such Financial Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

provided that the Cure Rights shall not be exercised more than once in any six (6) month period.

In order to exercise its Cure Rights pursuant to this Section 8.09 (Certain Cure Rights), Borrower shall deliver to Lender, no later than ten (10) days after the date financial statements are due pursuant to Section 6.12(a)(i), a notice of its intent to cure, a notice of its intent to cure (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”) the applicable Event of Default through the issuance of capital stock. If Borrower shall have timely delivered the Notice of Intent to Cure, then (subject to the proviso above) the right of the Lender to declare the Secured Obligations due and payable solely

as a result of a Default under Section 6.20 (Financial Covenants) shall be suspended for a period of twenty (20) days following the date of delivery of such Notice of Intent to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in order to exercise its Cure Rights pursuant to this Section 8.09, the Cure Amount must be indefeasibly received by Borrower on or before the date that is seventy-five (75) days after the last date of the financial quarter or month, as applicable, during which the relevant Event of Default occurred.
