Borrower will promptly notify Bank in writing of any change in the location of any place of business or the location of any Inventory or the establishment of any new place of business or location of Inventory or office where its records are kept which would be shown in this Agreement if it were executed after such change.

Borrower represents and warrants that it has described its returns policy in writing to Bank and that it does now, and will continue to, apply such policy consistently in the conduct of its business and agrees that it shall notify Bank in writing before changing its policy or the application thereof.

4. BORROWER’S ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Borrower represents and warrants that:

(a) It is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation and it shall hereafter remain in good standing as a corporation in that state, and it is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on it or its business.

(b) Borrower’s exact legal name is as set forth in this Agreement. Borrower has no Subsidiaries except as identified in Schedule “A” to this Agreement.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and any other document executed in connection herewith, are within Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized, are not in contravention of law or the terms of Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or other applicable charter document, by-laws or other incorporation papers, or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound.

(e) All capital stock issued by Borrower and outstanding was and is properly issued and all books and records of Borrower, including but not limited to its minute books, by-laws and books of account, are accurate and up to date and will be so maintained.

(f) Borrower owns all of the assets reflected in the most recent of Borrower’s financial statements provided to Bank, except assets sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business since the date thereof, and such assets together with any assets acquired since such date, including without limitation the Collateral, are free and clear of any lien, pledge, security interest, charge, mortgage or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever, except (i) the security interests and other encumbrances (if any) listed on Schedule “B” annexed hereto, (ii) those leases of personal property set forth on Schedule “C” annexed hereto, (iii) those liens permitted pursuant to Section 15(h) of this Agreement, or (iv) liens and security interests in favor of Bank.

(g) Borrower has made or filed all tax returns, reports and declarations relating to any material tax liability required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (any tax liability which may result in a lien on any Collateral being hereby deemed material); has paid all taxes shown or determined to be due thereon except those being contested in good faith and which Borrower has, prior to the date of such contest, identified in writing to Bank as being contested; and has made adequate provision for the payment of all taxes so contested, so that no lien will encumber any Collateral with respect to such taxes.

(h) Borrower (i) is subject to no charter, corporate or other legal restriction, or any judgment, award, decree, order, governmental rule or regulation or contractual restriction which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or prospects, and (ii) is in compliance with its charter documents and by-laws, all contractual requirements by which it or any of its properties may be bound and all applicable laws, rules and regulations (including without limitation those relating to environmental protection) other than laws, rules or regulations the validity or applicability of which it is contesting in good faith, except where its failure to comply with which cannot reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower or the value of any Collateral.

(i) Except as described in Schedule D, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting it or any of its assets before or by any court or other governmental authority which, if determined adversely to it, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, business or prospects or the value of any Collateral.

(j) Borrower is in material compliance with ERISA; no Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan; and it has no unfunded vested liability under any Plan. The word “Plan” as used in this Agreement means any employee plan subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) maintained for employees of Borrower, any subsidiary of Borrower or any other trade or business under common control with Borrower within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any regulations thereunder.

5. LOANS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATIONS.

(a) From time to time upon Borrower’s request, so long as the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding and the requested loan (collectively, the “Loans”) does not exceed the Credit Limit (as defined below), Bank shall make such requested loan, provided that there is no continuing Event of Default or continuing event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default (a “Default”).

(b) All Loans shall bear interest and shall be evidenced by and repayable in accordance with a Revolving Promissory Note drawn to the order of Bank and the LIBOR Rider thereto in substantially the form of Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Note”), as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time and any note or notes issued in substitution therefor, but in the absence of the Note shall be conclusively evidenced by Bank’s records of Loans and repayments.

Interest, other than with respect to those Loans (if any) which bear interest calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate (as defined below), will be charged to Borrower at a fluctuating per annum rate which is the daily equivalent of the Prime Rate minus one quarter of one percent (.25%), or at such other rate agreed on from time to time by the parties, upon any balance owing to Bank at the close of each day and shall be payable (i) on the first day of each month in arrears; (ii) on termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 21 hereof; (iii) on acceleration of the

time for payment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 16 hereof; and (iv) on the date the Obligations are paid in full. The rate of interest payable by Borrower shall be changed effective as of that date in which a change in the Prime Rate becomes effective. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. The term “Prime Rate” as used herein and in any supplement and amendment hereto shall mean the per annum rate of interest announced from time to time by Bank at its offices in Boston, Massachusetts, as its Prime Rate (or if Bank ceases to announce a rate so designated, any similar successor rate designated by Bank), it being understood that such rate is a reference rate and not necessarily the lowest rate of interest charged by Bank. Interest shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Bank without set-off, deduction or counterclaim monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on the first day of the month next succeeding the date hereof.

Interest, net of those Loans (if any) which bear interest calculated by reference to the Prime Rate, will be charged to Borrower at a rate which is the equivalent to the LIBOR Lending Rate (as defined below) plus Applicable Margin (as defined below).

(c) The term “Credit Limit” as used herein shall mean an amount equal to Twenty-Five Million and 00/100 ($25,000,000.00) Dollars, up to Ten Million ($10,000,000.00) Dollars of which (the “L/C Limit”) shall be available for standby Letters of Credit, as provided below.

(d) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Bank, in Bank’s sole discretion (provided, however, Bank shall have no obligation to do so): (i) to charge any of Borrower’s accounts with Bank to pay accrued interest as the same becomes due and payable pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to any note or other agreement between Borrower and Bank, or (ii) to apply the proceeds of Collateral, including, without limitation, payments on Accounts and other payments from sales or lease of Inventory and any other funds to the payment of such items. Bank shall promptly notify Borrower of any such charges or applications.

(e) At Borrower’s request and in the discretion of Bank, and subject to the execution of letter of credit documentation satisfactory to Bank, Bank, within the limits of the L/C Limit as then computed, shall issue standby letters of credit from time to time by Bank for the account of Borrower (collectively “Letters of Credit”). The Letters of Credit shall be on terms mutually acceptable to Bank and Borrower, and no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the sooner to occur of (i) twelve (12) months from the date of issuance of the subject Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Termination Date (as defined in Section 21). A Loan in an amount equal to any amount paid by Bank under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed made to Borrower, without request therefor, immediately upon any payment by Bank on such Letter of Credit. In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank a percentage of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (as set forth below) plus all other normal and customary fees charged by Bank, as set forth in a schedule of fees from time to time published by Bank. For purposes of computing the Credit Limit, all Letters of Credit and acceptances shall be deemed to be Loans.

(f) Upon application by Borrower for a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Bank an Application and Agreement for a Letter of Credit upon such terms and conditions as Bank may then require which shall set forth the specific terms and pricing of such Letter of Credit. In the absence of any such agreement, Borrower shall pay to Bank on DEMAND an issuance fee of 1.25 % per annum, (1.0% per annum issuance fee for cash secured Letters of Credit) with respect to each Letter of Credit.

(g) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bank from any loss, cost or damage arising in connection with any request for, issuance of, payment under, or otherwise related to a Letter of Credit, including but not limited to (i) any failure of Borrower to comply with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) obligations and responsibilities imposed by foreign laws and customs for which Borrower is liable to indemnify Bank under the UCP, or (iii) Bank’s dishonor of a draft or demand at Borrower’s request or pursuant to an injunction. Borrower recognizes that Bank is obligated to honor drafts duly drawn under a Letter of Credit regardless of any dispute that may exist between Borrower and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, including disputes concerning the beneficiary’s right to payment from or on behalf of Borrower. Except for the obligation to make payment on a draft accepted under the Letter of Credit, Bank has no responsibility to investigate the circumstances of the dispute, obligation, loss or liability in connection with any transaction between Borrower and the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. For purposes of this Section, Bank shall include Bank’s officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates.

(h) Borrower shall pay to Bank the principal amount of all Loans on termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 21 or on acceleration of the obligations pursuant to Section 16, and Borrower shall also deliver to Bank at such time cash collateral in an amount equal to the aggregate of amounts then undrawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement for the account of Borrower.

(i) The following terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the LIBOR Rider annexed to the Note: Business Day, Hedging Contracts, Hedging Obligations, Interest Payment Date, Interest Period, LIBOR Lending Rate, LIBOR Rate, LIBOR Rate Loan, LIBOR Reserve Percentage, and Prime Rate Loan. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Borrowing Date” shall mean any day upon which a LIBOR Rate Loan is made.

“Dollars” or “$” shall mean currency of the United States of America.

“Maturity Date” shall mean the date on which an Interest Period expires.

(j) Bank shall not be required to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, or convert a Prime Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan, unless Bank shall have received from Borrower a request for such LIBOR Rate Loan, in the form of Exhibit 2 annexed hereto (herein a “Notice of Borrowing”). By delivering a Notice of Borrowing to Bank as provided in the LIBOR Rider, Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request, that a LIBOR Rate Loan be made in a minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($100,000.00) Dollars.

In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Bank evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) except for franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s net income or receipts, pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Bank will equal the full amount Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against Bank with respect to any payment received by Bank hereunder, Bank may pay such Taxes and Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by Bank after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount), except for franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s net income or receipts, shall equal the amount Bank would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears.

(ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit, as the case may be, which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

10. CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Bank, or person controlling Bank, and Bank determines (in its reasonable discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling person’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or the Loans made by Bank is reduced to a level below that which Bank or such controlling person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in

any such case upon notice from time to time by Bank to Borrower, Borrower shall within 90 days of issuance of such statement, pay directly to Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate Bank or such controlling person for such reduction in rate of return.

Bank will, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, have the right to require Borrower (i) to enter into a lockbox arrangement with Bank for the collection of such remittances and payments, or (ii) to maintain its deposit accounts at Bank or, in the alternative, at another financial institution which has agreed to accept drafts drawn on it by Bank under a written depository transfer agreement with Bank and to block Borrower’s account and waive its rights as against such account.

(b) Each Borrower hereby grants to Bank a lien, security interest and right of setoff as security for all liabilities and Obligations to Bank, 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 Bank or any entity in the control of Citizens Financial Group, Inc., or in transit to any of them. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or Obligation of Borrower or any guarantor even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

(c) Bank shall be Borrower’s main bank of deposit. For each other deposit account that Borrower at any time opens or maintains, Borrower shall, if Bank shall so require, either (i) cause the depositary bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from Bank to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further consent of Borrower, or (ii) arrange for Bank to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to the deposit account, with Borrower being permitted, only with the consent of Bank, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account. Bank agrees with Borrower that Bank shall not give any such instructions or withhold any withdrawal

rights from Borrower, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (i) any deposit account for which Borrower, the depositary bank and Bank have entered into a cash collateral agreement specially negotiated among Borrower, the depositary bank and Bank for the specific purpose set forth therein, or (ii) deposit accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s salaried employees.

(d) Bank may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, notify account debtors that Collateral has been assigned to Bank and that payments shall be made directly to or as directed by Bank. Upon request of Bank at any time, Borrower will so notify such account debtors and will indicate on all xxxxxxxx to such account debtors that their Accounts must be paid directly to or as directed by Bank. Bank shall have full power to collect, compromise, endorse, sell or otherwise deal with the Collateral or proceeds thereof in its own name or in the name of Borrower.

(e) Borrower shall pay to Bank on demand any and all reasonable counsel fees and other expenses reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with the preparation, enforcement, administration or amendment of this Agreement, or of any documents relating thereto, and any and all expenses, including, but not limited to, a collection charge on all Accounts collected, all attorneys’ fees and expenses, and all other expenses of like or unlike nature which may be reasonably expended by Bank to obtain or enforce payment of any Account either as against the account debtor, Borrower, or any guarantor or surety of Borrower or in the prosecution or defense of any action or concerning any matter growing out of or connected with the subject matter of this Agreement, the Obligations or the Collateral or any of Bank’s rights or interests therein or thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any counsel fees or expenses incurred in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by Bank in connection with the protection or realization on any security held by Bank for the debt secured hereby, whether such security was granted by Borrower or by any other person primarily or secondarily liable (with or without recourse) with respect to such debt, and all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Bank in connection with the defense, settlement or satisfaction of any action, claim or demand asserted against Bank in connection with the debt secured hereby, all of which amounts shall be considered advances to protect Bank’s security, and shall be secured hereby. At its option, and without limiting any other rights or remedies, Bank may at any time pay or discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied against or placed on any of the Collateral, and may procure and pay any premiums on any insurance required to be carried by Borrower, and provide for the maintenance and preservation of any of the Collateral, and otherwise take any action reasonably deemed necessary to Bank to protect its security, and all amounts reasonably expended by Bank in connection with any of the foregoing matters, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be considered obligations of Borrower and shall be secured hereby.

(f) Borrower does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Bank as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under any policy of insurance on the

Collateral) or Collateral that may come into possession of Bank in full or part payment of any amounts owing to Bank; to sign and endorse the name of Borrower or any of Borrower’s officers or agents upon any invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts, and any instrument or documents relating thereto or to Borrower’s rights therein; to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Post Office to effect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to Borrower may be delivered directly to Bank; granting upon Borrower’s said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as Borrower might or could do, and hereby ratifying all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Other than in connection with the good faith administration of the Loans, Bank will not exercise its rights pursuant to the power of attorney granted herein except during the continuance of an Event of Default. Neither Bank nor the attorney shall be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake, except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions hereunder and thereafter as long as Borrower may be indebted to Bank.

(a) Borrower agrees to keep all the Collateral insured with coverage and in amounts not less than that usually carried by one engaged in a like business with loss payable to Bank and Borrower, as their interests may appear, hereby appointing Bank as attorney for Borrower, exercisable by bank during the continuance of an Event of Default, in obtaining, adjusting, settling and canceling such insurance and endorsing any drafts.

(xxi) Any of the following events occur or exist with respect to Borrower or any ERISA affiliate: (A) any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) involving any Plan; (B) any “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA and the regulations issued under such Section) shall occur with respect to any Plan; (C) The filing under Section 4041 of ERISA of a notice of intent to terminate any Plan or the termination of any Plan; (D) any event or circumstance exists which might constitute grounds entitling the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) to institute proceedings under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or for the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Plan, or the institution by the PBGC of any such proceedings; (E) or partial withdrawal under Section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA from a Multiemployer Plan or the

reorganization, insolvency, or termination of any Multiemployer Plan; and in each case above, such event or condition, together with all other events or conditions, if any, could in the opinion of Bank subject Borrower to any tax, penalty, or other liability to a Plan, a Multiemployer Plan, the PBGC, or otherwise.

During the continuation of an Event of Default, Bank may declare any obligation Bank may have hereunder to be cancelled, declare all Obligations of Borrower to be due and payable and proceed to enforce payment of the Obligations and to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies afforded to Bank by the Uniform Commercial Code or under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. In addition, if Bank proceeds to enforce payment of the Obligations, Borrower shall be obligated to deliver to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to the aggregate amounts then undrawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit or acceptances issued or guaranteed by Bank for the account of Borrower, and Bank may proceed to enforce payment of the same and to exercise all rights and remedies afforded to Bank by the Uniform Commercial Code or under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower, as additional compensation to Bank for its increased credit risk, promises to pay interest on all Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, whether or not past due, past due interest and any other amounts past due under this Agreement) at a per annum rate of Three (3.0%) percent greater than the rate of interest then specified in Section 5 of this Agreement. If a regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest hereunder is fifteen (15) days or more late, Borrower will be charged five (5.0%) percent of the unpaid portion of such payment as a late fee.

(b) Upon the filing of any complaint, application, or petition by or against Borrower initiating any matter in which Borrower is or may be granted any relief from the debts of Borrower pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Bank’s obligation hereunder shall be canceled immediately, automatically, and without notice, and all Obligations of Borrower then outstanding shall become immediately due and payable without presentation, demand, or notice of any kind to Borrower.

(c) Any sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be at public or private sale upon such terms and in such manner as Bank deems advisable, having due regard to compliance with any statute or regulation which might affect, limit or apply to Bank’s disposition of the Collateral. Bank may conduct any such sale or other disposition of the Collateral upon Borrower’s premises. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event Bank shall provide Borrower with such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), Bank shall give Borrower at least the greater of the minimum notice required by law or seven (7) days prior written notice of the date, time and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made. Bank may purchase the Collateral, or any portion of it at any public sale.

(d) If Bank sells any of the Collateral on credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser of such Collateral and received by Bank. If the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Bank may re-sell the Collateral and Borrower shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.

(e) In connection with Bank’s exercise of Bank’s rights after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may enter upon, occupy and use any premises owned or occupied by Borrower, and may exclude Borrower from use of Collateral over which Bank has exercised dominion and control. Bank shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon Bank’s taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to Borrower. In no event shall Bank be liable to Borrower for use or occupancy by Bank of any premises pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) During the continuance of any Event of Default, Bank may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at Borrower’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both Bank and Borrower.

17. STANDARDS FOR EXERCISING REMEDIES. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Bank (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of the Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties specifically to disclaim any warranties of title or the like, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Bank against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Bank, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Bank would not be commercially unreasonable in Bank’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Bank shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

18. PROCESSING AND SALES OF INVENTORY. In the absence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right, in the regular course of business, to process and sell Borrower’s Inventory. A sale in the ordinary course of business shall not include a transfer in total or partial satisfaction of a debt.

19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER AND BANK EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Borrower hereby certifies that neither Bank nor any of its representatives, agents or counsel has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Bank would not, in the event of any such suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce this waiver of right to trial by jury. Borrower acknowledges that Bank has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, this waiver. Borrower acknowledges that it has read the provisions of this Agreement and in particular, this section; has consulted legal counsel; understands the right it is granting in this Agreement and is waiving in this section in particular; and makes the above waiver knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally.

20. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Borrower and Bank agree that any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of this Agreement may be commenced in any court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sitting in the counties of Suffolk or Middlesex, or in the District Court of the United States for the District of Massachusetts, and Borrower waives personal service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and confer personal jurisdiction if served by registered or certified mail to Borrower, or as otherwise provided by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the United States of America.

21. TERMINATION.

(a) Unless renewed in writing, this Agreement shall terminate on May 30, 2007 (the “Termination Date”), and all Obligations shall be due and payable in full without presentation, demand, or further notice of any kind, whether or not all or any part of the Obligations is otherwise due and payable pursuant to the agreement or instrument evidencing same. Bank may terminate this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary, the security interest, Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder and Borrower’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations outstanding, or contracted or committed for (whether or not outstanding), shall be finally and irrevocably paid in full. No Collateral shall be released or financing statement terminated until such final and irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations, as described in the preceding sentence.

(b) In the event that Bank continues to make Loans hereunder after the Termination Date without a written extension of such Termination Date or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all such Loans: (i) shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank; and (ii) shall, together with all other Obligations, be payable thereafter ON DEMAND.

22. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) No delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any rights shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. Waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All Bank’s rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby or by any other agreement, instrument or paper, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

(b) Bank is authorized to make Loans under the terms of this Agreement upon the request, either written or oral, in the name of Borrower or any authorized person whose name appears at the end of this Agreement or of any of the following named person, or persons, from time to time, holding the following offices of Borrower, President, Treasurer and such other officers and authorized signatories as may from time to time be set forth in separate resolutions. Borrower agrees that any and all Loans made by Bank to Borrower or for its account under this Agreement as provided in this paragraph shall be conclusively deemed to have been authorized by Borrower. Any request for a Loan which is not accompanied by a Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan.

(c) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Bank’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Bank shall release Borrower from its Obligations. Bank may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder and no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. Bank reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Bank’s rights and benefits hereunder, provided that Bank agrees that it shall continue to hold at least 50.0% of the Loans at all times. In connection with any assignment or participation, Bank may disclose all documents and information which Bank now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower or Borrower’s business, for the purpose of permitting evaluation of the Loans by such prospective participant or assignee, provided that such proposed participant or assignee agrees with Bank not to further disclose such documents and information on terms like those contained in the Nondisclosure Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated March 2, 2004. To the extent that Bank assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to another party, Bank thereafter shall be released from such assigned obligations to Borrower and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and such other party.

(d) Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized words shall have the meanings set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as of the date of this Agreement.

(e) Paragraph and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not effect the construction of this Agreement. If one or more provisions of this Agreement (or the application thereof) shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the same shall not, invalidate or render illegal or unenforceable such provision (or its application) in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement (or its application). This Agreement is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior written or verbal communications or instruments relating thereto.

(f) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), overnight courier, telefacsimile or electronic transmission to Borrower or to Bank, as the case may be, at its address set forth below:
