the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Borrower Obligations.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of the Grantor hereunder and under the other Loan
-4-
Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Grantor under
applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.
(c) The Grantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of the Grantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all
the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of the Grantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full in cash, no letters of credit
shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to
time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower
Obligations.
(e) No payment made by the Borrower, the Grantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or
received or collected by the Lender from the Borrower, the Grantor, any other guarantor or any
other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application
at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be
deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Grantor hereunder which
shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Grantor in respect of
the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Grantor in respect of the
Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of
the Grantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no
letters of credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.
(f) Any of the indebtedness of any Covered Party now or hereafter owing to the Borrower or the
Grantor is hereby subordinated and junior to the Borrower Obligations or the Grantor Obligations,

Lender’s option, shall be collected, enforced and received for the benefit of the Lender on account
of the Borrower Obligations or the Grantor Obligations, as applicable, but without affecting or
impairing in any manner the liability of the Borrower or the Grantor under the other provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 No Subrogation Until All Payments Made. Notwithstanding the payment made by the
Grantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of the Grantor by the Lender, the Grantor
shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against the Borrower or
any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the
Borrower Obligations, nor shall the Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from the Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by the Grantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrower on account of the Borrower
Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no letters of credit shall be outstanding and
the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Grantor on account of the
subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the amount shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Lender,
segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the
-5-
Grantor, be turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed
by the Grantor to the Lender, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in the order as the Lender may determine.
2.3 Amendments. etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. The Grantor shall
remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the
Grantor and without notice to or further assent by the Grantor, any demand for payment of any of
the Borrower Obligations made by the Lender may be rescinded by the Lender and any of the Borrower
Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or
for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with
respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Lender, and the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection
therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Lender
may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at
any time held by the Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged,
waived, surrendered or released. The Lender shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or
insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. The Grantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by the Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended
or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the
Borrower and the Grantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, likewise shall be
conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. The Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or the Grantor with respect to the Borrower
Obligations. The Grantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard
to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of
the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset
with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Lender, (b) any defense, set-off
or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Lender, or (c) any other
circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Grantor)
which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the
Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of the Grantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Grantor, the Lender may, but shall be under
no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue the rights and remedies as it may
have against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral
security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by the
-6-
Lender to make any demand, to pursue the other rights or remedies or to collect any payments
from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any collateral
security or guarantee or to exercise any right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other
guarantor or any other Person or any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not
relieve the Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the
rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Lender
against the Grantor. For the purposes of this Section 2.4 only, “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower,
the Grantor or any other guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or the Grantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
2.6 Payments. The Grantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to
the Lender without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at its office at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
XX 00000, or at such other office as the Lender may designate from time to time in writing.

security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by
the Grantor or in which the Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right,
title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt
and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Grantor Obligations:

(c) all Contracts;
(d) all Deposit Accounts;

(g) all General Intangibles;

(l) all Letter of Credit Rights;
(m) all Receivables;
(n) all other property not otherwise described above;
(o) all books and records pertaining to the Collateral; and
(p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations, Commercial
Tort Claims and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees
given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in
this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in any property
to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or
default under or results in the termination of, or requires any consent not obtained under, any
contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such
property or, in the case of any Investment Property, Pledged Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable
shareholder or similar agreement, except to the extent that the term in such contract, license,
agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such
prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under
applicable law.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lender to make
extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Grantor hereby represents and
warrants to the Lender that:
4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Lender
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit
Agreement, the Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or
claims of others. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of
the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in
favor of the Lender, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement.
4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this
Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule C
(which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been
delivered to the Lender in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected
security interests in all of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by the
filing of a financing statement and/or the other filings and actions specified on Schedule
C in favor of the Lender, as collateral security for the Grantor Obligations, enforceable in
accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of the Grantor and any Persons purporting to
purchase any Collateral from
-8-
the Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date
hereof except to the extent otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.
4.3 Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, the Grantor’s type of organization,
jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any)
and the location of the Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business, as the case
maybe, are specified on Schedule D. The Grantor has furnished to the Lender a certified
charter, certificate of incorporation or other organization document and long-form good standing
certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof.
4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and the material
Equipment (other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed on Schedule E.
4.5 Investment Property. The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by the Grantor hereunder,
if any, constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of Capital Stock of each
Issuer owned by the Grantor. All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued
and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, if issued by a Person other than a partnership or
limited liability company, are represented by a certificate. No shares of Pledged Stock held by the
Grantor constitute “uncertificated securities” as defined in Article 8 of the Massachusetts UCC. To
the Grantor’s knowledge, each of the Pledged Notes, if any, constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Grantor is the record and
beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it
hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except
the security interest created by this Agreement.
4.6 Receivables. (a) No amount payable to the Grantor under or in connection with any
Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to the
Lender.
(b) None of the obligors on any Receivable is a Governmental Authority.
(c) The amounts represented by the Grantor to the Lender from time to time as owing to the
Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate in all material respects.
(d) To the Grantor’s knowledge, each Receivable constitutes the bona fide
obligation of the account debtor thereunder and was originated in the ordinary course of the
Grantor’s business.
4.7 Intellectual Property. Schedule F lists all Intellectual Property owned
by the Grantor in its own name on the date hereof. On the date hereof, all material Intellectual
Property is valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, has not been abandoned and does not
infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person. Except as set forth in Schedule
F, on the date hereof, none of the Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or
franchise agreement pursuant to which the Grantor is the licensor or franchisor. No holding,
decision or judgment has
-9-
been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity
of, or the Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual Property in any respect that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No action or proceeding is pending, or, to the
knowledge of the Grantor, threatened, on the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question
the validity of any Intellectual Property or the Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii)
which, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the value of any
Intellectual Property.
4.8 Existence; Compliance with Law. The Grantor (a) is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the
requisite power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its properties and to
conduct its business in which it is currently engaged and (c) is in compliance with all Legal
Requirements except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.9 Power; Authorization; Enforceability of Obligations. The Grantor has the requisite
power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Agreement. The Grantor
has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of,
any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the execution,
delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a
legally valid and binding obligation of the Grantor, enforceable against the Grantor in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at
law).
4.10 No Legal Impediment. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
will not violate any Legal Requirement or any other contractual obligation binding on the Grantor,
and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties
or revenues pursuant to any Legal Requirement or any such contractual obligation.
SECTION 5. COVENANTS
The Grantor covenants and agrees with the Lender that, from and after the date of this
Agreement until the Borrower Obligations and the Grantor Obligations shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, no letters of credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have
terminated:
5.1 Financial Information. Furnish to the Lender such financial and other
information as the Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

The Grantor shall deliver all certificates evidencing any Capital Stock issued to the Grantor
by the Borrower to the Lender, together with any appropriate instruments of transfer.

fire, explosion, theft and such other casualties as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender
and (ii) insuring the Grantor and the Lender against liability for personal injury and property

securities, Chattel Paper and Instruments (in each case, accompanied by stock powers, allonges or
other instruments of transfer executed in blank) promptly after the Grantor receives the same; and
(ii) upon request by the Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Grantor shall obtain signed acknowledgements of the Lender’s Liens from bailees having
possession of the Grantor’s goods.

connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in
connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Capital Stock of any
Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any

the Lender in the exact form received, duly endorsed by the Grantor to the Lender if required,
together with an undated stock or transfer power covering such certificate duly executed in blank
by the Grantor and with, if the Lender so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Lender,
subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Grantor Obligations and the

Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment
Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or
pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject
to a perfected security interest in favor of the Lender, be delivered to the Lender to be held by
it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower
Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of such Investment
Property shall be received by the Grantor, the Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid
or delivered to the Lender, hold such money or property in trust for the Lender, segregated from
other funds of the Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Grantor Obligations and the
Borrower Obligations.

with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction
expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or
option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or
Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this
Agreement or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of the
Grantor or the Lender to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds
thereof.

and (ii) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or
knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the Copyrights may become invalidated
or otherwise impaired. The Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby

forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development
(including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in,
any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office
or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding the Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of,

maintain the same.
-14-

United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office
or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, the Grantor shall report such
filing to the Lender within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which
such filing occurs. Upon request of the Lender, the Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have
recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Lender may request to
evidence the Lender’s security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and
general intangibles of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(g) The Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation,
in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain
each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.
(h) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, the Grantor shall (i) take such actions as the Grantor shall reasonably
deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such
Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the Lender after it learns

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.
(a) The Lender shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any
manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantor shall furnish
all such assistance and information as the Lender may require in connection with such test
verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Lender’s request and at the expense of
the Grantor, the Grantor shall cause a Responsible Officer (or at the election of the Lender during
an Event of Default, independent public accountants) to furnish to the Lender reports showing
reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
-15-
(b) The Lender hereby authorizes the Grantor to collect the Grantor’s Receivables, subject to
the Lender’s direction and control, and the Lender may curtail or terminate said authority at any
time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the
Lender at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any
payments of Receivables, when collected by the Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event,
within two Business Days) deposited by the Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by the
Grantor to the Lender if required, in a deposit account (each, a “Collateral Account”)
maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Lender as security for the Grantor
Obligations and the Borrower Obligations, subject to withdrawal by the Lender in payment of the
Grantor Obligations and the Borrower’s Obligations only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until
so turned over, shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds
of the Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report
identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(c) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon
Lender’s request, the Grantor shall deliver to the Lender all original and other documents
evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables,
including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
(d) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the
extent that, because of a conflict with applicable Requirements of Law, the proceeds of any
Receivable cannot be applied in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Grantors shall
take such actions as may be necessary to deposit such proceeds in a Collateral Account as promptly
as possible, subject to compliance with applicable Requirements of Law.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantor Remains Liable.
(a) The Lender in its own name or in the name of others may, at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with obligors under the Receivables
and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Lender’s satisfaction the existence, amount
and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.
(b) Upon the request of the Lender, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables and
parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the Contracts have been assigned to the Lender
and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Lender.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to
be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement
giving rise thereto. The Lender shall have no obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any
agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
receipt by the Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Lender be obligated in any
manner to perform any of the obligations of the Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any
agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the
nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the
-16-
sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take
any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
6.3 Pledged Stock.
(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Lender shall have
given notice to the Grantor of the Lender’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to
Section 6.3(b), the Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the
Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the
Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with
respect to the Investment Property; provided, however that no vote shall be cast or corporate right
exercised or other action taken which, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, would impair the
Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the
Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Lender shall give notice of
its intent to exercise such rights to the Grantor, (i) the Lender shall have the right to receive
any and all cash dividends, payments, or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property
and make application thereof to the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower’s Obligations in such
order as the Lender may determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be
registered in the name of the Lender or its nominee, and the Lender or its nominee may thereafter
exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any
meeting of shareholders or other equityholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and
(y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including,
without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property
upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the
corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by the Grantor or
the Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in
connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with
any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and
conditions as the Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property
actually received by it, but the Lender shall have no duty to the Grantor to exercise any such
right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing.
(c) The Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged
by the Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in
writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions
from or consent of the Grantor, and the Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in
so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other
payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Lender.
-17-
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Lender. In addition to the rights of the Lender
specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by the Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other
cash equivalents shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds
of the Grantor, and shall upon the request of the Lender, forthwith upon receipt by the Grantor, be
turned over to the Lender in the exact form received by the Grantor (duly endorsed by the Grantor
to the Lender, if required). All Proceeds received by the Lender hereunder shall be held by the
Lender in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while
held by the Lender in a Collateral Account (or by the Grantor in trust for the Lender) shall
continue to be held as collateral security for all the Grantor Obligations and Borrower Obligations
and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Grantor
and the Lender, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at
the Lender’s election, the Lender may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral,
whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in
Section 2, in payment of the Grantor Obligations and the Borrower Obligations in the following
order:
First, to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of any sale or other
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses), liabilities and
advances made or incurred by the Lender in connection therewith or provided for by the Credit
Agreement or arising in connection with any other facilities now or hereafter provided by the
Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower;
Next, to payment of interest on and principal of the Loans (in such order as may be
provided for in the Credit Agreement or as otherwise determined by the Lender);
Next, to the payment of any other Borrower Obligations and Grantor Obligations (or may
be held by the Lender as security for any other such Obligations not yet due and payable); and
Finally, after payment in full of all Borrower Obligations and Grantor Obligations and
termination of all credit facilities and other facilities now or hereafter provided by the Lender
to the Borrower, to the payment to the Borrower or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may
be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
surplus then remaining of such cash.
6.6 Code and Other Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Lender may exercise, in addition
to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Grantor Obligations or the Borrower Obligations,
all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Massachusetts UCC or any other applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender, without demand of performance or
other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required
by law referred to below), to or upon the Grantor or any
-18-
other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options
to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to
do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of the Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it
may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Lender shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to
purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption
in the Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Grantor further agrees, at
the Lender’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places
which the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
Lender shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the
Collateral or the rights of the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Grantor Obligations
and the Borrower Obligations, in accordance with the Loan Documents, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Lender of any other amount required by any provision of
law, need the Lender account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor. To the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, the Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the
Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed
reasonable and proper if given at least seven (7) days before such sale or other disposition.
6.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to
sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Lender
it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold,
registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and
deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the Lender, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that
portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts
to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective
for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that
portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus
which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable thereto. The Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer (if such Issuer is a direct
or indirect Subsidiary of the Grantor) to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue
Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Lender shall designate and to make available to
its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited)
which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) The Grantor recognizes that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all
the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
-19-
Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one
or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public
sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to
delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer
thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(c) The Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Lender, that the Lender has no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantor, and the
Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific
performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the
Credit Agreement.
6.8 Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Grantor Obligations and
the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Lender to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE LENDER
7.1 Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) The Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender and any officer or
agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the
Grantor or in its own name, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor hereby gives the Lender the power and
right, on behalf of the Grantor, without notice to or assent by the Grantor, to do any or all of
the following:
(i) in the name of the Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse
and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys
due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to, any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate
by the Lender for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or
Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
-20-
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and
all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Lender may request to evidence the
Lender’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles
of the Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay
all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Sections 6.6 or 6.7, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of
any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Lender or as the Lender shall
direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,
claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any
Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage
or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other
documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral
or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any
suit, action or proceeding brought against the Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle,

the Lender shall in its sole discretion determine; (8) vote any claim of the Grantor in any
bankruptcy proceeding with respect to any Indebtedness owed to Grantor by any other Covered Party
and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal

thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Lender’s option and the Grantor’s expense, at any time, or
from time to time, all acts and things which the Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the Lender’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as the Grantor might do. The provisions of clauses (1)
through (4) and (9) shall not permit the Lender to take any action with respect to any Receivable,
to the extent that such action would contravene applicable Requirements of Law.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender agrees that it
will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If the Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Lender, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise
cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
-21-
(c) The expenses of the Lender incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in
this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per
annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of Prime Rate Loans under the Credit
Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default, from the date of payment by the Lender to
the date reimbursed by the Grantor, shall be payable by the Grantor to the Lender on demand.
(d) The Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.
7.2 Duty of Lender. The Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping
and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Lender deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Lender nor any of
its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or
to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers
conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Lender’s interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Lender to exercise any such powers. The Lender shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the
Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to applicable law, the Grantor
authorizes the Lender to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording
documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of the Grantor in
such form and in such offices as the Lender determines appropriate to perfect the security
interests of the Lender under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this
Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or
instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. The Grantor authorizes the Lender to use
the collateral description “all assets” or “all personal property” in any such financing
statements. The Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Lender of any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 8.1 of the
Credit Agreement.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Lender or the Grantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement;
provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the
Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule A.
-22-
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Lender shall not by any
act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Lender of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other
rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4 Enforcement Expenses: Indemnification.
(a) The Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Lender for all its costs and expenses incurred
in collecting against the Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing
or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Grantor is
a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including
the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Lender.
(b) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities
with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other
taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) The Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent any Borrower would be
required to do so pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Grantor Obligations, the
Borrower Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns;
provided that the Grantor may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender.
8.6 Set-Off. The Grantor hereby grants to the Lender, a continuing lien, security
interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lender, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property,
now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of the Lender, or any entity
controlled by, controlling, or under the control of, the Lender and its successors and assigns, or
in transit to any of them. The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender at any time and
-23-
from time to time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without
demand or notice to the Grantor or any other guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by
the Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, and regardless of the adequacy of any other Collateral securing any Loan, at any time
held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Grantor, or any part thereof
in such amounts as the Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities
of the Grantor to the Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Lender
against the Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any
other Loan Document or otherwise, as the Lender may elect, whether or not the Lender has made any
demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or
unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 8.6 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have. ANY
AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER
COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHTS OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY GRANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVED. The right of setoff set forth in this Section 8.6 shall not apply to any
account (a “Restricted Account”) maintained solely to comply with applicable Requirements of Law
where such application would violate any applicable Requirement of Law.
8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or e-mail image), and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.
8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement
of the Grantor and the Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are
no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Lender relative to subject matter
hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
-24-
8.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the courts of the United States of America for the District of
Massachusetts, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to the Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which
the Lender shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.
8.13 Acknowledgments. The Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b) the Lender has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Grantor arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the
Grantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is
solely that of guarantor and lender; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby between the Grantor and the Lender.
8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE GRANTOR AND, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, THE LENDER,
HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF
ANY CLAIM BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH
OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF
-25-
ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS,
STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER
ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE
GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR. IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL
DAMAGES. THE GRANTOR CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDER HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER. THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE LENDER TO
ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND MAKE THE LOANS.
