2.5 Repayment of the Loans. The Loans shall be payable in
consecutive monthly
installments of $33,333.33 commencing on June 1,2006 and on the
first Business Day of each calendar
month thereafter. The remaining outstanding principal amount of
the Loan shall be payable in full on the
Maturity Date. Amounts paid or prepaid with respect to the Loans
may not be reborrowed. The amount
of any principal prepayment of the Loans shall be applied to
reduce the then remaining installments of the
Loans in inverse order of maturity.
2.6 Prepayment Penalty. The Borrower may at any time and
from time to time
prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty except for any prepayment fee that
may be due under the following sentence. Any such prepayment
shall be made together with all other
amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents at the time of
prepayment (including, without
limitation, any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.12) and, if
the date of such prepayment is on or
before the second anniversary of the date hereof, a prepayment
fee in the amount of $80,000.
Prepayments shall be made upon irrevocable notice by the
Borrower delivered to the Lender no later than

notice shall specify the date and amount
of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable

interest to such date on the amount
prepaid. Partial prepayments of any Loan shall be in an

(a) Except for Indebtedness expressly permitted under
Section 6.2, if any Indebtedness
described in clause (a) or (c) of the definition of
"Indebtedness" shall be issued or incurred by any
Covered Party, then, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash
Proceeds thereof shall be applied on the
date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans.
(b) If on any date any Covered Party shall receive Net Cash
Proceeds from any Recovery
Event then, unless (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (ii) a Reinvestment Notice
shall be delivered in respect thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds
shall be applied on such date toward the
prepayment of the Loans. In addition, on each Reinvestment
Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the
Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant
Reinvestment Event shall be applied
toward the prepayment of the Loans.
(c) If at any time the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans exceeds the
Commitment, the Borrower will immediately prepay or repay the
Loans in an amount necessary to cause
the outstanding principal amount of the Loans not to exceed the
Commitment.
-13-
|
(d) Each such prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.6
shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount
prepaid and all amounts due and owing in
respect thereof under Section 2.12.
(e) Any prepayment or repayment of COF Loans on any date
other than the regularly
scheduled payments of principal thereof on the scheduled dates
due hereunder or on the Maturity Date
shall also be accompanied by a fee equal to the "Yield
Maintenance Fee" in an amount computed as
follows:
The current cost of funds, specifically the bond
equivalent yield for United States Treasury
securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be
converted to a bond equivalent yield) with a
maturity date closest to the remaining term of such
COF Loans, shall be subtracted from the COF Rate, or
default rate if applicable. If the result is zero or
a negative number, there shall be no Yield
Maintenance Fee due and payable. If the result is a
positive number, then the resulting percentage shall
be multiplied by the scheduled outstanding principal
balance for each remaining monthly period of this
note. Each resulting amount shall be divided by 360
and multiplied by the number of days in the monthly
period. Said amounts shall be reduced to present
values calculated by using the above reference
current costs of funds divided by 12 and the COF
Loan's remaining term in months. The resulting sum
of present values shall be the yield maintenance fee
due to the Lender upon prepayment of the principal
of the COF Loans plus any accrued interest due as of
the prepayment date.
Unless the Lender expressly agrees
otherwise, partial payments will not affect the payment
schedule required hereunder.
2.8 Interest Rates and Payment Dates; Payments.
(a) Until the date on which the Loan is fully advanced, each
Loan shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable
Margin. On and after the date on which the
Loan is fully advanced, interest on the unpaid principal balance
of the Loan shall accrue, at the
Borrower's option, at the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin
or at the COF Rate, plus the Applicable
Margin, in any case as selected by the Borrower pursuant to a
Notice of Conversion to COF Rate,
provided such Notice of Conversion to COF Rate is delivered to
the Lender within 60 days after the date
on which the Loan is fully advanced and provided no Event of
Default then exists hereunder.
(b) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all outstanding
Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the rate that would
otherwise be applicable to the Loans pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 5.00%
during the continuance of such Event of Default (both before and
after judgment).
(c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall
be payable from time to time on demand.
(d) The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge, on
each date on which any
amount is due hereunder, the Borrower's Operating Account or any
other deposit accounts from time to
time maintained by the Borrower with the Lender for the purpose
of effecting payments of amounts due
to the Lender hereunder.
2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees.
-14-
|
(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Prime Rate shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such
change becomes effective.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Lender
pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the
absence of manifest error.
2.10 Requirements of Law.
(a) If the adoption of or any change in any
Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or
application thereof or compliance by the Lender with any request
or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority:
(i) shall subject the Lender to any
tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Lender in respect thereof (except for
Taxes covered by Section 2.11 and changes
in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of such Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold
applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of,
advances, loans or other extensions of
credit by, or any other acquisition of
funds by, any office of the Lender; or
(iii) shall impose on the Lender any
other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
the Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect
thereof, then, in any such case, fee Borrower shall promptly pay
the Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable.
(b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of
or any change in any
Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the
Lender with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of
law) from any Governmental Authority
made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on the Lender's or
such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations
hereunder to a level below that which the
Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the Lender's or such corporation's policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender upon demand
such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate the Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section submitted
by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. The obligation of the
Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.11 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies,
-15-
|
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding taxes that are imposed on the
Lender's overall net income by the United States and taxes that
are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes
imposed in lieu thereof) by the state under the laws of which the
Lender is organized (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in
respect of payments hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall
be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the
Lender, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after the Borrower has made all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.11), the Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make all such deductions and
(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any present or
future stamp, documentary, excise,
property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any
payment made hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration
of, performance under, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to
as "Other Taxes").
(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for and hold it
harmless against the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes
of any kind imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.11, imposed
on or paid by the Lender and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 10 days from
the date the Lender makes written
demand therefor.
(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
the Borrower shall furnish to
the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing such payment.
(e) The agreements in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify
the Lender for, and to hold the Lender harmless from, any loss or
expense that the Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Loans after
the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement. If the Lender elects to declare the
Loans to be immediately due and payable, then any amounts payable
under this Section 2.12 shall become due and payable in the same
manner as though the Borrower had exercised such right of
prepayment. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to
this Section submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the
fiscal year ended on such date, reviewed and accompanied by a
report in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender from
Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, LLP, present fairly the consolidated
financial condition of the Guarantor as at such date, and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the

the Guarantor and the Borrower as at March 31, 2005, and, in each
case, the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the month ended on such date, present fairly the
consolidated financial condition the Guarantor and the Borrower,
as applicable, as at such date, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its cash flows for the month then ended. All
such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the
absence of footnotes) applied consistently throughout the periods
involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of
accountants and disclosed therein). The Borrower has no material
Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for
taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term
commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap
or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of
derivatives, or other material obligations that are not reflected
in the most recent financial statements referred to in this
paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2004 to and
including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any
Covered Party of any material part of its business or property.
3.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2004, there have been no
developments or
events that, individually or in the aggregate, have had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

is duly organized or
formed, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing

case may be, and in good standing under the laws of each
jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or
operation of property or the conduct of its business requires
such qualification and (d) is in compliance
with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the
failure to comply therewith could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
3.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan
Party has the power
and authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and
perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of
credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has
taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the
Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on
the terms and conditions 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
Loans hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance,
validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except (i)
consents, authorizations, filings and notices
described in Schedule 3.4, which consents, authorizations,
filings and notices have been obtained or made
and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to
in Section 3.18. Each Loan Document has
been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party
party thereto. This Agreement constitutes,
and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan
Party 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).
3.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate
any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan
Party and will not result in, or
require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their
respective properties or revenues pursuant
to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation
(other than the Liens created by the
-17-
|
Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation applicable to any Loan Party could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.6 Litigation. No litigation, action, investigation or
proceeding of or before any
arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor,
threatened by or against any Loan Party or against any of their
respective properties or revenues (a) with

contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b)

3.9 Intellectual Property; Licenses. Each Loan Party owns,
or is licensed to use, all
Intellectual Property and other licenses necessary for the
conduct of its business as currently conducted.
No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person
challenging or questioning the use of
any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any
Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan
Party know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of
Intellectual Property by each Loan Party
does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material
respect.
3.10 Taxes. Each Loan Party has filed or caused to be filed
all Federal, state and other
material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid
all taxes shown to be due and payable on
said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its
property and all other taxes, fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental
Authority; no tax Lien has been filed,
and, to the knowledge of the Borrower or the Guarantor, no claim
is being asserted, with respect to any
such tax, fee or other charge.

Loans, and no other
extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for "buying" or
"carrying" any "margin stock" within the
respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation

hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the
provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If
requested by the Lender, the Borrower will furnish to the Lender

Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such
Plans) did not, as of the last annual
valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made, exceed the value of
-18-

the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a
material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled
Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be
expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and
neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would
become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the
Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date
most closely preceding the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in
Reorganization or Insolvent.

fully secured. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower
after any such setoff and application
made by the Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice

the relevant class.
2. Grant of Security Interest. As security for the full and timely satisfaction of the
Obligations, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in the Collateral, and
in each item thereof, all to the maximum extent that the Borrower has an interest therein or at any time in
the future obtains such an interest.
3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lender
that:
(a) All information set forth on the Perfection Certificate, as updated from time to time by
the Borrower, is true, correct and complete in all material respects.
(b) The principal place of business and chief executive offices of the Borrower are currently
located at the location described on Exhibit B hereto, and all of the books and records of the Borrower
are currently kept at that location or the other locations listed on Exhibit B. All of the tangible Collateral
is and will be kept at that location or at another location included in the Premises.
(c) The Borrower owns the Collateral free and clear of all Liens except (i) Liens under the
Loan Documents and (ii) Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) Except as shown on Exhibit A hereto, none of the Intellectual Property Rights owned or
licensed by the Borrower is the subject of any state or federal registration or any application therefor.
(e) This Security Agreement, coupled with the filing of appropriate UCC financing
statements with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (being the only location
in which such filing is required by the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts in order to perfect
the security interests granted herein to the extent that such security interest may be perfected by filing of
a UCC financing statement), creates in favor of the Lender a valid and perfected first priority security
interest in all of the Collateral to the extent that such security interest may be perfected by filing, which
security interest secures the Obligations.
4. Covenants, (a) Payment and Performance. The Borrower will unconditionally pay
when due or within any applicable grace period (or on demand, if so payable) each Obligation and will
duly and punctually perform each Obligation.
(b) Further Assurances. The Borrower will from time to time, at its expense, upon the Lender's request, promptly execute
and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and take all such further action, as may be necessary or that the Lender
may reasonably request in order to perfect and/or protect the security interests granted or intended to be granted hereby or to
enable the Lender to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, including, without limitation:
furnishing copies of customer invoices and original shipping documents; marking or otherwise
-3-
identifying Equipment; furnishing the originals of all bills of Jading, trust receipts and warehousemen's receipts, with such
endorsements as may be required by the Lender; stamping chattel paper to reflect the Lender's security interest or delivering
same to the Lender; taking such actions as the Lender may reasonably require to obtain possession or control of any Collateral to
the extent necessary to perfect Lender's security interest; and filing financing statements. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Lender to file financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto relating to Collateral without the signature of the
Borrower. The Borrower will use its best efforts to provide landlord's waivers reasonably satisfactory to the Lender with respect
to any premises not owned by the Borrower where any material amount of Collateral may be located. With respect to such contracts
and contract rights as are by their terms non-assignable, the Borrower agrees: (i) to hold same in trust for the benefit of the
Lender, to the extent such terms are valid and effective, (ii) at any time or from time to time (if the Lender shall so request)
to use its reasonable efforts to seek the approval of the other parties to the relevant contracts so that assignment to the
Lender will be permitted and (iii) at the request of the Lender, to assign to the Lender all rights in and to said contracts and
contract rights to the maximum extent that same may from time to time be assignable.
(c) Information. The Borrower shall maintain complete and accurate records of all of its
Collateral and its dealings with respect thereto. Upon reasonable notice from time to time (and. at any
time and without notice after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), the
Borrower shall permit the Lender and its employees, representatives and agents access to the Premises
and the Lender shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and make copies of such books and records.
The Borrower shall from time to time furnish to the Lender such information concerning the Collateral as
the Lender may reasonably request, and will promptly notify the Lender if any representation or warranty
of the Borrower in Section 3 hereof becomes inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material
respect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will upon the Lender's request,
with reasonable promptness, provide the Lender with a written listing of all Collateral, and will provide
the Lender with such a listing immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default.
(d) Insurance.
(i) Property Insurance. The Borrower shall keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by
financially sound and reputable insurers against theft and fraud and against loss or damage by fire, explosion and
hazards insured against by extended coverage to the extent, in amounts and with deductibles at least as favorable as
those generally maintained by businesses of similar size engaged in similar activities.
(ii) Liability Insurance. The Borrower shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance
against liability for hazards, risks and liability to persons and property, to the extent, in amounts and with
deductibles at least as favorable as those generally maintained by businesses of similar size engaged in similar
activities and at least in the amounts set forth in the certificates of insurance delivered to Lender.
(iii) All such insurance shall (A) provide that no cancellation, material reduction in amount or material
change in coverage thereof shall be effective until at least 30 days after receipt by the Lender of written notice
thereof, (B) name the Lender as insured party or loss payee pursuant to a loss payable endorsement issued in favor of,
delivered to and in form reasonably satisfactory to, the Lender, and (C) be reasonably satisfactory in all material
respects to the Lender.
-4-
(e) Receivables. The Borrower shall notify the Lender promptly of all material returns and
recoveries of merchandise and claims. The Borrower shall not without prior written notice to the Lender
settle or adjust any dispute or claim which (together with all other such settlements or adjustments
relating to the Receivables of the Borrower) would exceed $10,000 in the aggregate per fiscal quarter of
the Borrower, nor shall the Borrower grant any discount, credit or allowance except in the ordinary
course of the Borrower's business nor accept any return of merchandise except in the ordinary course of
the Borrower's business without the Lender's consent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, the Lender may settle or adjust disputes or claims directly with customers or
account debtors for amounts and upon terms which it considers reasonably advisable; in all such cases,
the Borrower will be credited only with amounts actually received by the Lender; and where the
Borrower receives collateral of any kind by reason of transactions between itself and its customers or
account debtors, it will hold the same on the Lender's behalf, subject to the Lender's instructions, and as
properly forming part of the Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Lender or its designee may at any time notify the Borrower's customers or account debtors
of the Lender's security interest in Receivables, collect the same directly and charge the collection costs
and expenses to the Borrower; whenever the Lender deems it desirable that any legal or other action be
instituted in order to collect any Receivable, the Lender may at its option reassign any such Receivable to
the Borrower (and any such reassignment shall be deemed to be without recourse to the Lender in any
event) and require the Borrower to proceed with such legal or other action at the Borrower's sole
liability, cost and expense, in which event all amounts collected by the Borrower on such Receivable
shall nevertheless be subject to this Security Agreement; and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a
reasonable collection charge on all Receivables collected by the Lender under this Security Agreement.
If the Lender elects that the Borrower continue to collect the Receivables after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Borrower will collect its Receivables as the Lender's collection agent, hold such
collections in trust for the Lender without commingling the same with other funds of the Borrower and, if
requested by the Lender, will promptly, on the day of receipt thereof, transmit such collections to the
Lender in the identical form in which they were received by the Borrower, with such endorsements as
may be appropriate.
(f) Title; Sale or Removal of Collateral. The Borrower shall not Create or suffer to exist any
Lien in or on any of the Collateral, except the Liens of the Loan Documents and other Liens expressly
permitted by Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement. Except for Dispositions expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall not, without the Lender's prior written approval, sell, transfer or
remove from the Premises or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral. No Collateral will be located at
any premises other than as described in Subsection 3(b) above. The Borrower (i) shall maintain books
and records relating to Collateral only as described in Subsection 3(b) above, (ii) will not move its chief
executive office from the existing location described in Subsection 3(b) above, (iii) will not change its
name or identity, and (iv) shall give the Lender 20 days prior written notice of any proposed change in its
corporate structure or jurisdiction of incorporation.
(g) Maintenance and Use of Equipment. The Borrower will maintain all Equipment in good
order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, making all necessary repairs thereto. The
Borrower will not suffer any waste or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment, nor use any Equipment
in violation of any applicable law or any insurance thereon. The Borrower will promptly restore or
replace any Inventory or Equipment damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, and this obligation
will not be limited by the availability or sufficiency of insurance proceeds. The Borrower shall promptly
furnish to the Lender a statement as to any casualty, loss or damage in excess of $10,000 to any Inventory
or Equipment.
-5-
(h) Taxes. The Borrower promptly shall pay, as they become due and payable, all taxes, unemployment contributions and
all other charges of any kind or nature levied, assessed or claimed against the Borrower or the Collateral by any Person whose
claim could result in a Lien upon any of the Collateral, except to the extent such taxes, contributions or other charges are
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which operate as a matter of law to stay the enforcement of any such
Lien and adequate reserves have been established and are maintained by the Borrower.
(i) Intellectual Property Rights. The Borrower agrees that it will not dispose of any of the Intellectual Property
Rights or any interest therein or grant a security interest in any of the Intellectual Property Rights (other than pursuant to
the Loan Documents) or suffer or permit to exist any other encumbrance thereon without, in each instance, the prior written
consent of the Lender. The Borrower warrants that the Borrower has unencumbered title to or a license to use the Intellectual
Property Rights now being used by it and full right and authority to grant to the Lender its security interests in the
Intellectual Property Rights. The Borrower agrees to defend its title to (or license of) the Intellectual Property Rights and to
take all steps reasonably necessary to preserve its title to (or license of) the Intellectual Property Rights and ability to use
same, including defense of any claims of infringement and action against any infringers, all to the extent that such defense or
action against infringers is reasonably necessary in order to maintain the value and use of all material Intellectual Property
Rights. If, during the term of this Security Agreement, the Borrower shall obtain rights to any new or additional United States
trademark registrations, trademark applications, patents, patent applications or copyrights, the same shall automatically
constitute Intellectual Property Rights subject to this Security Agreement, and the Borrower agrees to give the Lender prompt
written notice thereof, describing and identifying such Intellectual Property Rights in the same manner as on Exhibit A hereto.
Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Borrower will assemble and make available to the Lender all books, records and
data, whether in written form or electronically recorded, representing any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
(j) Deposit Accounts. The Borrower will maintain all deposit accounts with the Lender except for one deposit account for
each Unit which accounts shall be used for deposit only (the "Deposit Accounts"). Such Deposit Accounts will be required to be
swept on each Business Day of all available cash in excess of $1,000 from the sale of Inventory and any other assets, all
collections of Accounts, and all other cash payments received by or for the account of the Borrower (such cash receipts and
collections, "Cash Receipts") to a designated account maintained with the Lender. At the Lender's request, the Borrower will
execute any agreements to cause all Cash Receipts to be swept to a concentration account with the Lender. After the occurrence of
a Default, the Borrower shall cause all Cash Receipts, at the Lender's option, to be deposited directly to a blocked account with
the Lender.
5. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. (a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as the Borrower's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the name, place and stead of the Borrower, from time to time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default in the Lender's discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which
the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation:
(i) to obtain and adjust any insurance required pursuant to this Security Agreement and/or the Credit Agreement;
(ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittances for monies due
and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
-6-
(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any notes, drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper;
(iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral;
(v) to sign the name of the Borrower on invoices or bills of lading, drafts against customers, notices of
assignment, verifications and schedules;
(vi) to defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against the Borrower in respect of any Collateral, to
settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as the Lender may deem appropriate;
(vii) to notify the U.S. Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail to an address
designated by the Lender and to open and dispose of mail addressed to the Borrower; and, generally,
(viii) to do all things necessary to carry out the intent of this Security Agreement.
(b) The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 5 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until the Obligations are paid indefeasibly in full.
6. Lender May Perform. If the Borrower fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Lender
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided under Section 9 hereof,
with interest at the rate provided for in Section 2.8(b) of the Credit Agreement.
7. Lender's Duties. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for
the safe custody of any Collateral actually in its possession and the accounting for monies actually
received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral. The Lender shall not be
liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law including, without limitation,
acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to the Collateral, except for those arising out of or in
connection with the Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Lender shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Lender accords its own like
property, it being understood that the Lender shall be under no obligation to take any necessary steps to
collect any Collateral or preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral, but may do so at its option, and all expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the
sole account of the Borrower and shall be added to the Obligations.
8. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein
or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and also may without limitation:
(i) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and the upon
reasonable request of the Lender, forthwith assemble all or any part of the
-7-
Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place or places to be designated by the
Lender which is or are reasonably convenient to the respective parties;
(ii) itself or through agents, without notice to any Person and without judicial process of any kind, enter the
Borrower's Premises (or any other premises or location where any Collateral may be) and take physical possession of any
Collateral or disassemble, render unusable and/or repossess any of the same, and the Borrower shall peacefully and
quietly yield up and surrender the same; and
(iii) without notice except as specified below, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
exchange, broker's board or at the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon
such other terms as are commercially reasonable.
(b) The Lender may maintain possession of Collateral at the Premises or remove the same or
any part thereof to such places as the Lender may elect. The Borrower waives all rights which it would
otherwise have under any applicable law to prohibit entry to any premises or to require notice of any
such action, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, seven (7) days' prior written notice to the Borrower shall
constitute reasonable notification. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the
Collateral to be sold in general terms, stating the items or amounts thereof and the location and nature
thereof, and is published at least once in any newspaper selected by the Lender and of general circulation
in the locale of such sale, not less than seven (7) days prior to the sale. The Lender shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given and may be the purchaser at
any such sale, if public, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free from any right of redemption. The
Borrower shall be fully liable for any deficiency. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale
from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(c) Any cash held by the Lender as Collateral and all cash or other proceeds received by the
Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral, shall be applied by the Lender in the following order of priority:
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 referred
to in Section 9 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 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 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.
-8-
9. Expenses and Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for and to
indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, and all costs
or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, experts and
agents) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Lender arising out of or in connection with:
preparation of this Security Agreement, the documents relating hereto, or amendments, modifications or
waivers hereof; taxes (excluding any corporate excise or income taxes payable by the Lender by reason
hereof or otherwise) and other governmental charges in connection with this Security Agreement and the
Collateral; exercise of the Lender's rights with respect to this Security Agreement and the Collateral; any
enforcement, collection or other proceedings resulting therefrom or any negotiations or other measures to
preserve the Lender's rights hereunder; the custody or preservation of, or the sale of or other realization
upon, any of the Collateral; any failure by the Borrower to perform or observe any of the provisions of
this Security Agreement; any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not the
Lender is designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement; or any
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding relating to the Borrower, unless the Lender was at
fault with respect to such liability, loss, damage, cost or expense or acted in bad faith with respect
thereto. The Borrower's obligations under the preceding sentence shall constitute Obligations and shall
survive the termination of this Security Agreement. In no event will the Borrower be liable for any claim
to the extent determined, by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to
have arisen out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.
10. Termination. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as
any Loan and/or any other Obligation remains outstanding, any Commitment shall remain effective
and/or any credit facility or other facility remains in effect. Upon the satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations and the termination or expiration of all credit and other facilities now or hereafter provided
by the Lender for the Borrower, the Lender shall, at the Borrower's expense, execute and deliver to the
Borrower all instruments of assignment or otherwise as may be necessary to establish full title of the

construed as a bar to or waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy on any future occasion. The

contained herein, shall in any respect be limited by or be deemed in limitation of any inconsistent or additional provisions

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 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

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,
-4-
nor shall the Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other guarantor in

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 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 Lender to make
any demand, to pursue the other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any
other gurarantor 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
-5-
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

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

(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 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

4.5 Investment Property. The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by the Grantor hereunder
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
-7-
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 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 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.

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.

and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform this Agreement. The Grantor has taken

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

independent public accountants) to furnish to the Lender reports showing reconciliations, aging and test
verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

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

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 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

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

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.
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
-15-
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 Bororwer 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 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
-16-
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 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

Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(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

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, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection
therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Lender may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains),
throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as 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
-18-
Grantor by any other Covered Party and (9) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to
or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Lender were the absolute owner
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.
(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

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.

right of setoff as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lender, whether now existing or

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

dated as of May 27, 2005 (the "Credit Agreement", as the same may be amended, extended, renewed, restated, replaced or otherwise
modified from time to time in accordance with its terms).
The Borrower is the wholly owned subsidiary of Knowfat Franchise Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor" and,
together with the Borrower, the "Debtors"). The Guarantor has guaranteed the Borrower's obligations under the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (as defined therein) to which the Borrower is a party pursuant to the Guarantor's Guarantee and
Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof in favor of the Lender (the "Guarantee").
The Guarantor entered into certain Asset Purchase Agreements with the Creditor dated, respectively, August 11, 2004 and
January 28, 2005 (the "Asset Purchase Agreements") At the closing under each Asset Purchase Agreement the Borrower, as assignee
of Guarantor, acquired the Purchased Assets referred to therein, with the exception of certain assets purchased and retained by
Guarantor. The Guarantor and the Borrower also entered into certain Management Consulting Agreements with the Creditor dated,
respectively, August 11, 2004 and January 28, 2005 (the "Management Agreements", together with the Asset Purchase Agreements and
all agreements and instruments entered into in connection therewith, each as amended or otherwise modified from time to time,
being referred to herein as the "Subordinated Documents").
The Senior Debt (as defined below) owed to the Lender is secured by, among other things, first priority security
interests in and liens on (the "Senior Liens") the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
In order to induce the Lender to enter into the Credit Agreement, to make the loans and other financial accommodations
contemplated thereunder and to grant such renewals or extensions thereof as the Lender may deem advisable, the Creditor is
willing to subordinate: (i) all indebtedness and obligations of each Debtor to the Creditor, whether presently existing or
arising in the future (the "Subordinated Debt"), to all Senior Debt and (ii) any security interests and liens granted to the
Creditor from time to time (the "Junior Liens") in respect of the Collateral to the Senior Liens.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
The Creditor hereby subordinates the Junior Liens to the Senior Liens and agrees that, notwithstanding the relative times
of attachment or perfection of the Senior Liens and the Junior Liens, the Senior Liens shall in all respects be senior to the
Junior Liens.
All Subordinated Debt is subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Debtors to
the Lender now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and the other Loan Documents, including
without limitation unpaid principal, interest (including without limitation interest accruing after the maturity of indebtedness
thereunder and interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or other similar proceeding relating to either
Debtor, whether or not allowed in such proceeding and whether the Lender is oversecured or undersecured with respect to its loans
or other financial accommodations to either Debtor), all fees, indemnities and expenses payable under the Loan Documents and all
costs of collecting such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations (including attorneys' fees) (collectively, the "Senior Debt").
The Creditor will not demand or receive from either Debtor (and neither Debtor will pay to the Creditor) all or any part
of the Subordinated Debt, by way of payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will the Creditor exercise any remedy
with respect to the Collateral, nor will the Creditor accelerate the Subordinated Debt, or commence, or cause to commence,
prosecute or participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action against either Debtor, in each case until such time as
all Senior Debt is fully paid in cash. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Creditor shall be entitled to receive when due the
regularly scheduled payments as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreements and the regularly scheduled consulting fees as set
forth in the Management Agreements, provided that (a) the Lender has not made demand to either Debtor and (b) no Event of
Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, has occurred and is continuing or would exist immediately after such payment.
The Creditor shall promptly deliver to the Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by the
Creditor where required by the Lender) for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution, security or proceeds
received by the Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this Agreement or pursuant to the
exercise of its rights and remedies in enforcement of the Subordinated Debt, whether or not permitted under this Agreement. If
the Creditor shall fail to make such endorsement or assignment, the Lender (or any of its officers) is hereby irrevocably
authorized to make the same. Until so delivered, the Creditor shall hold such payment or distribution in trust as the property of
the Lender, segregated from all other funds and property held by the Creditor.
In the event of either Debtor's dissolution, winding up or liquidation or any insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws for the benefit of or relating to the relief of debtors, these
provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the Senior Debt shall be paid in full in cash before any payment is made
to the Creditor.
Until the Senior Debt is fully paid in cash, the Creditor irrevocably appoints the Lender as the Creditor's
attorney-in-fact, and grants to the Lender a power of attorney with full power of
-2-
substitution, in the name of the Creditor or in the name of the Lender, for the use and benefit of the Lender, without notice to
the Creditor, to perform at the Lender's option the following acts in any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar
proceeding involving either Debtor:
(a) To file the appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on
behalf of the Creditor if Creditor does not do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time
to file claims in such proceeding and if the Lender elects, in its sole discretion, to file such claim
or claims;
(b) To accept or reject any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of the
Creditor and to otherwise vote Creditor's claims in respect of any Subordinated Debt in any
manner that the Lender deems appropriate for the enforcement of its rights hereunder; and
(c) Take any other action in connection with any such proceeding that the Creditor
could take but for this Agreement:
provided that in no event shall the Lender be liable to the Creditor for any failure to prove the Subordinated Debt, to exercise
any right with respect thereto or to collect any funds payable in respect thereof.
The Creditor agrees duly and promptly to take any such action as may be reasonably requested by the Lender to assist in
the collection of the Subordinated Debt for the Lender's account and/or to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the
Subordinated Debt and to execute and deliver to the Lender, on demand, such powers of attorney, assignments, proofs of claim or
other instruments as the Lender may reasonably request to enable the Lender to enforce any and all claims upon or with respect to
the Subordinated Debt and to collect and receive any and all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable at
any time upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt.
The Creditor shall immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the
instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement and agrees to execute such other documents reasonably requested by the
Lender further to evidence the senior priority of the Senior Debt and Senior Liens provided herein. By the execution of this
Agreement, the Creditor hereby authorizes the Lender to amend any financing statements filed by the Creditor against Debtors as
follows: "In accordance with a certain Subordination Agreement by and among the Secured Party, the Debtor and TD BankNorth.,
N.A., the Secured Party has subordinated any security interest or lien that Secured Party may have in any property of the Debtor
to the security interest of TD BankNorth, N.A. in all assets of the Debtor, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or
perfection of the security interest of the Secured Party and TD BankNorth, N.A "
No amendment of the documents evidencing or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly modify the
provisions of this Agreement (a) if such change or amendment could materially increase either Debtor's obligations or the
Creditor's rights in a manner adverse to either Debtor or the Lender or (b) in any manner which might terminate or impair the
subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the security interest or lien that
-3-
the Creditor may have in any property of either Debtor. By way of example, such instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase
the rate of interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or (ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or any
other portion of the Subordinated Debt.
In foreclosing on the Senior Liens, so long as the Lender proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner, the Lender may
proceed to foreclose on the Senior Liens in any manner which the Lender, in its discretion, choose even though a higher price
might have been realized if the Lender had proceeded to foreclose on the Senior Liens in another manner.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall have no duty to the Creditor with respect to the preservation or
maintenance of the Collateral or the manner in which the Lender enforces its rights in such Collateral or to preserve or maintain
the rights of any Person in the Collateral and the Creditor hereby waives (a) any claims which it may now or hereafter have
against the Lender which relate to such preservation, maintenance or enforcement and (b) the right to require the Lender to
marshal any Collateral, to enforce any security interest or lien the Lender may now or hereafter have in any Collateral securing
the Senior Debt or to pursue any claim it may have against any guarantor of the Senior Debt, as a condition to the Lender's
entitlement to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Debt.
Without limiting any of the Lender's foreclosure or other rights under any of the Loan Documents or applicable law, in
the event that, at the Borrower's request in connection with a sale by the Borrower or its stockholders of any of its assets or
ownership interests, the Lender releases or discharges any of its Senior Liens on any Collateral which is subject to a Junior
Lien, such Collateral shall thereupon be deemed to have been released from all Junior Liens and the Creditor shall be deemed to
have consented to such sale; provided, however, that (a) the Lender believes in good faith that any released or discharged
Collateral is being sold or transferred in the ordinary course for cash consideration reasonably equivalent to the fair value of
such Collateral and (b) the proceeds of such sale are applied to repay Senior Debt, with any balance to be applied to the
Subordinated Debt. The Creditor agrees that, within ten days following the Lender's reasonable written request, it will execute,
deliver, file and record any and all such termination statements, lien releases, discharges and other agreements and instruments
necessary to give effect to the foregoing and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender to file and record same.
If at any time any payment of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by the Lender for any reason (including, without
limitation, the bankruptcy of either Debtor), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities set forth herein shall be
reinstated as to all such disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and the Creditor shall immediately pay
over to the Lender all payments received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that such payments would have been
prohibited hereunder. At any time and from time to time, without notice to the Creditor, the Lender may take such actions with
respect to the Senior Debt as the Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate, including, without limitation,
terminating advances to either Debtor, increasing the principal amount, extending the time of payment, increasing applicable
interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any
collateral securing the Senior Debt, and
-4-
enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against the Debtors or any other person. No such action or inaction shall impair or
otherwise affect the Lender's rights hereunder.
In addition to its agreements set forth above, the Creditor, in its capacity as a holder of Subordinated Debt, agrees to
take such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, and otherwise to cooperate with the Lender to effectuate the
subordination provided hereby, in furtherance thereof, the Creditor agrees (a) not to oppose any motion filed or supported by the
Lender for relief from stay or for adequate protection in respect of the Senior Debt; (b) not to oppose any motion supported by
the Lender for either Debtor's use of cash collateral or post-petition borrowing from the Lender; (c) not to institute against
either Debtor any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any
United States Federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until such time as the Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash; and
(d) not otherwise to (i) impede, interfere with or restrict or restrain the Lender's exercise of its rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents or (ii) take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the priority position over the Creditor
that is created in favor of the Lender by this Agreement.
If the Creditor shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding against either Debtor or take
any other action in any legal proceeding involving either Debtor in violation of this Agreement, such Debtor may interpose this
Agreement as a defense or plea and the Lender is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to interpose such defense or plea in its
or either Debtor's name.
This Agreement shall bind any successors or assignees of the Creditor and shall benefit any successors or assigns of the
Lender. This Agreement shall remain effective until terminated in writing by the Lender. This Agreement is solely for the benefit
of the Creditor and the Lender and, except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, is not for the benefit of either
Debtor or any other party. The Creditor will not sell, assign or transfer any of its interest in the Subordinated Debt, unless
the Lender consents thereto in writing, and the buyer, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by this Agreement
pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. The Creditor further agrees that if one or both
of the Debtors are in the process of refinancing a portion of the Senior Debt with one or more new financial institutions, and if
the Lender makes a request of the Creditor, the Creditor shall agree to enter into a new subordination agreement with such new
financial institution(s) substantially the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which
together shall constitute one instrument.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. The Creditor and the Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind, against it that arises
out of or by reason of this Agreement. THE CREDITOR AND THE LENDER WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF
-5-
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior
negotiations, agreements and commitments. The Creditor is not relying on any representations by the Lender or the Borrower in
entering into this Agreement, and the Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and
other condition of the Borrower. This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by the Creditor and the Lender.
Creditor and each Debtor waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy
of specific performance of this Agreement in any action brought therefor by the Lender.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
