The parties agree as follows:  1ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS  1.1Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP.  Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13.  All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.  1.2Agented Loan Arrangement.  (a)Designation of Agent.  Each Borrower hereby designates Caliper as the agent (the Agent) of each Borrower to discharge the duties and responsibilities of the Agent as provided herein.  (b)Operation of Loan Arrangement.  (i)Except as otherwise permitted by Bank, Credit Extensions hereunder shall be requested solely by the Agent as agent for each Borrower.  (ii)Any Credit Extension which may be made by Bank under this Agreement and which is directed to the Agent is received by the Agent in trust for that Borrower who is intended to receive such Credit Extension.  The Agent shall distribute the proceeds of any such Credit Extension solely to that Borrower.  Each Borrower shall be directly indebted to Bank for each Credit Extension distributed to any Borrower by the Agent, together with all accrued interest thereon, as if that amount had been advanced directly by Bank to a Borrower (whether or not the subject Credit Extension was based upon the accounts and/or inventory or other assets of the Borrower which actually received such distribution), in addition to which each Borrower shall be liable to Bank for all Obligations under this Agreement, whether or not the proceeds of the Credit Extension are distributed to any particular Borrower.  (iii)Bank shall have no responsibility to inquire as to the distribution of Credit Extensions made by Bank through the Agent as described herein.  (c)Credit Extensions Directly to Borrower.  (i)If, for any reason, and at any time during the term of this Agreement:  (A)any Borrower, including the Agent, as agent for each Borrower, shall be unable to, or prohibited from carrying out the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as determined by Bank in Banks sole and absolute discretion); or  (B)Bank deems it inexpedient (in Banks sole and absolute discretion) to continue making Credit Extensions to or for the account of any particular Borrower, or to


channel such Credit Extensions through the Agent, then Bank may make Credit Extensions directly to such Borrower as Bank determines to be expedient, which Credit Extensions may be made without regard to the procedures otherwise included in this Article 1.  (ii)In the event that Bank determines to forgo the procedures included herein pursuant to which Credit Extensions are to be channeled through the Agent, then Bank may designate one or more Borrower to fulfill the financial and other reporting requirements otherwise imposed herein upon the Agent.  (iii)Each Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for the payment and performance of all Obligations (which payment and performance shall continue to be secured by all Collateral) notwithstanding any determination by Bank to cease making Credit Extensions to or for the benefit of any Borrower.  (d)Continuation of Authority of Agent.  The authority of the Agent to request Credit Extensions on behalf of, and to bind, each Borrower, shall continue unless and until Bank acts as provided in Section 1.2(c) above, or Bank actually receives:  (i)written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority, and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Agent, which notice is executed by the respective Presidents of each Borrower then eligible for borrowing under this Agreement; and  (ii)written notice from the successor Agent (i) accepting such appointment; (ii) acknowledging that the removal and appointment has been effected by the respective Presidents of each Borrower eligible for borrowing under the within Agreement; and (iii) acknowledging that from and after the date of appointment, the newly appointed Agent shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term Agent shall mean and include the newly appointed Agent.  (e)Indemnification.  The Agent and each Borrower respectively shall indemnify, defend, and save and hold Bank harmless from and against any liabilities, claims, demands, expenses, or losses made against or suffered by Bank on account of, or arising out of, this Agreement, Banks reliance upon Credit Extension requests made by the Agent, or any other action taken by Bank hereunder or under any of Banks various agreements with the Agent and/or any Borrower and/or any other Person arising under this Agreement.  2LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT  2.1Promise to Pay.  Borrower hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.  2.1.1Revolving Advances.  (a)Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall make Advances to Borrower up to the Availability Amount.  Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid, and prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.  (b)Termination; Repayment.  The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.  2.1.2Letters of Credit Sublimit.  (a)As part of the Revolving Line and subject to deduction of Reserves, Bank shall issue or have issued Letters of Credit for Borrowers account.  The face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve) may not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) inclusive of Credit Extensions relating to Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.4.  Such aggregate amounts utilized  2


hereunder shall at all times reduce the amount otherwise available for Advances under the Revolving Line.  If, on the Revolving Line Maturity Date or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Defaultthere are any outstanding Letters of Credit, then on such date Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to said Letters of Credit.  All Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Banks standard Application and Letter of Credit Agreement (the Letter of Credit Application).  Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.  Borrower further agrees to be bound by the regulations and interpretations of the issuer of any Letters of Credit guarantied by Bank and opened for Borrowers account or by Banks interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued by Bank for Borrowers account, and Borrower understands and agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto.  (b)The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letters of Credit, and the Letter of Credit Application.  Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Letters of Credit will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.  (c)Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency.  If a demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit, Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the equivalent of the amount thereof (plus fees and charges in connection therewith such as wire, cable, SWIFT or similar charges) in Dollars at the then-prevailing rate of exchange in San Francisco, California, for sales of the Foreign Currency for transfer to the country issuing such Foreign Currency.  (d)To guard against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a Foreign Currency, Bank shall create a reserve (the Letter of Credit Reserve) under the Revolving Line in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit.  The amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve may be adjusted by Bank from time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate.  The availability of funds under the Revolving Line shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit Reserve for as long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding.  2.1.3Foreign Exchange Sublimit.As part of the Revolving Line and subject to the deduction of Reserves, Borrower may enter into foreign exchange contracts with Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a specific amount of Foreign Currency (each, a FX Forward Contract) on a specified date (the Settlement Date).  FX Forward Contracts shall have a Settlement Date of at least one (1) FX Business Day after the contract date and shall be subject to a reserve of ten percent (10%) of each outstanding FX Forward Contract in a maximum aggregate amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the FX Reserve).  The aggregate amount of FX Forward Contracts at any one time plus Credit Extensions made pursuant to Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.4 may not exceed ten (10) times the maximum aggregate amount of the FX Reserve.  Any amounts needed to fully reimburse Bank will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.  2.1.4Cash Management Services Sublimit.Borrower may use up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) inclusive of Credit Extensions relating to Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 (the Cash Management Services Sublimit) of the Revolving Line for Banks cash management services which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in Banks various cash management services agreements (collectively, the Cash Management Services).  The dollar amount of any Cash Management Services provided under this sublimit will reduce the amount otherwise available under the Revolving Line.  Any amounts used or reserved by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will reduce the amount otherwise available for Credit Extensions under the Revolving Line.  Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the interest rate applicable to Advances.  2.2Overadvances.If, at any time the sum of (a) the outstanding amount of any Advances (including any amounts used for Cash Management Services) plus (b) the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve), plus (c) the FX Reserve  3


exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base (such excess amount being an Overadvance), Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such Overadvance.  Without limiting Borrowers obligation to repay Bank any amount of the Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.  2.3Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.  (a)Interest Rate; Advances.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate, which interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, in accordance with Section 2.3(f) below.  (b)Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is two percentage points (2.00%) above the rate effective immediately before the occurrence of the Event of Default (the Default Rate).  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.  (c)Adjustment to Interest Rate.  Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.  (d)360-Day Year.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.  (e)Debit of Accounts.  Bank may debit any of Borrowers deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.  (f)Payment; Interest Computation; Float Charge.  Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month.  In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 noon Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  In addition, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a float charge in an amount equal to two (2) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on all Payments received by Bank.  The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month.  Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrowers account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may charge Borrowers Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.  2.4Fees.Borrower shall pay to Bank:  (a)(i) a fully earned, non-refundable commitment fee of Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($62,500), payable on the earliest to occur of (x) April 1, 2011; (y) the termination of this Agreement; and (z) the occurrence of an Event of Default; and (ii) a fully earned, non-refundable anniversary fee of Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($62,500), payable on the earliest to occur of (x) April 1, 2012; (y) the termination of this Agreement; and (z) the occurrence of an Event of Default;  (b)Letter of Credit Fee.  Banks customary fees and expenses for the issuance or renewal of Letters of Credit, upon the issuance, each anniversary of the issuance and therenewal of such Letter of Credit by Bank;  (c)Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee.  A fee (the Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee), payable monthly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, in an amount equal to three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank.  The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall include amounts reserved under the Cash Management Services Sublimit for products provided and under the Foreign Exchange Sublimit for FX Forward Contracts (as described in Section 2.1.3).  Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the within Agreement, or suspension or termination of Banks obligation to make loans and advances hereunder; and  4


(d)Bank Expenses.  All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.  2.5Withholding.  Payments received by Bank from Borrower hereunder will be made free and clear of any withholding taxes.  Specifically, however, if at any time any governmental authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any such withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payment hereunder to Bank, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant governmental authority.  Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.  The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  3CONDITIONS OF LOANS  3.1Conditions Precedent to Initial Credit Extension.

In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to reschedule the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of Banks rights or remedies), Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.  6.7Insurance.Keep its business and the Collateral insured for risks and in amounts standard for companies in Borrowers industry and location and as Bank may reasonably request.

Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Banks exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrowers rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Banks benefit;  (i)place a hold on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;  (j)demand and receive possession of Borrowers Books; and  (k)exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).  9.2Power of Attorney.Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:  (a) endorse Borrowers name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrowers name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrowers insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits.  Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrowers name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit  16


Extensions hereunder.  Banks foregoing appointment as Borrowers attorney in fact, and all of Banks rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Banks obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.  9.3Protective Payments.If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral.  Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter.  No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Banks waiver of any Event of Default.  9.4Application of Payments and Proceeds.Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to Section 6.3(c) hereof, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Bank Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys fees incurred by Bank in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees and other charges, in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion.  Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion.  Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.  If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.  9.5Banks Liability for Collateral.So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.  9.6No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.Banks failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Bank and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.  Banks rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  Banks exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Banks waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Banks delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.  9.7Demand Waiver.Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable.  10NOTICES  All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication (collectively, Communication), other than Advance requests made pursuant to Section 3.4, by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and be delivered or sent by facsimile at the addresses or facsimile numbers listed below.

Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court.  Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrowers actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE, BANK SHALL SPECIFICALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH BANK DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE BANKS RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.  18


TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.  12GENERAL PROVISIONS  12.1Termination Prior to Maturity Date.This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank or if Banks obligation to fund Credit Extensions terminates pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1(b).  Notwithstanding any such termination, Banks lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations.  Upon payment in full of the Obligations and at such time as Banks obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall release its liens and security interests in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.  12.2Successors and Assigns.This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.  Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Banks prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Banks reasonable discretion).  Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Banks obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  12.3Indemnification.Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, Claims) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Bank Expenses incurred, or paid by Bank from, following, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by Banks gross negligence or willful misconduct.  12.4Time of Essence.Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.  12.5Correction of Loan Documents.Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Bank provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to such correction.  In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both Bank and Borrower.  12.6Severability of Provisions.Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.  12.7Amendments in Writing; Integration.  All amendments to this Agreement must be in writing signed by both Bank and Borrower.  This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.  12.8Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.  12.9Survival.All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied.  The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.3 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.  19


12.10Confidentiality.In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Banks Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferees or purchasers agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Banks regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Banks examination or audit; and (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under this Agreement.  Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in Banks possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) is disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.  Bank Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution, unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  12.11Attorneys Fees, Costs and Expenses.In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, Bank shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.  12.12Borrower Liability.As detailed in Article 1, each Borrower has appointed Caliper as Agent for each Borrower for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder.  Each Borrower hereunder shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions.  Each Borrower waives any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law.  Each Borrower waives any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrowers liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Bank and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Bank for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.  12.13Right of Set Off.Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) or in transit to any of them.  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.  12.14Electronic Execution of Documents.The words execution, signed, signature and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  20

In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.  12.17Relationship.The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement.  The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arms-length contract.  12.18Third Parties.Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any Pperson not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any Person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.  12.19Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement.This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety a certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2009, by and between Borrower and Bank, as amended by a certain First Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2009 and as further amended by a certain Second Loan Modification Agreement, dated as May 24, 2010.  12.20Confirmations and Ratifications by Borrower.
