      EMPLOYMENT
        AGREEMENT

      

       

      This
        Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”)
        is dated as of this 15th
        day of
January, 2008, by and between TerreStar
        Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”),
        and Jeffrey W. Epstein
        (the “Executive”).

       

      WHEREAS,
        the Company and the Executive entered into that
        certain employment agreement dated as of May 1, 2007, as amended (the
“Predecessor
        Agreement”), which expires by its terms on
        January 15, 2008; and

       

      WHEREAS,
        the Company and the Executive wish to continue
        the Executive’s employment with the Company following the expiration of the
        Predecessor Agreement under the terms and conditions set forth
        herein.

       

      CONSEQUENTLY,
        in consideration of the mutual
        covenants herein contained and of the mutual benefits herein provided, the
        Company and the Executive agree as follows:

       

      1.           
        Representations and
        Warranties.

       

      (a)           
        The Executive represents and warrants to the Company that the Executive is
        not
        bound by any restrictive covenants and has no prior or other obligations
        or
        commitments of any kind that would in any way prevent, restrict, hinder or
        interfere with Executive’s acceptance of
        continued
        employment or the performance of all duties and services hereunder to the
        fullest extent of the Executive’s ability and
        knowledge.  The Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
        Company for any liability the Company may incur as the result of the existence
        of any such covenants, obligations or commitments.

       

      (b)           
        The Company acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein shall be deemed to
        terminate, modify, alter or eliminate any compensation, benefits or related
        rights Executive already earned or in which he became fully vested (without
        any
        contingency that would result in the loss of such rights, compensation or
        benefits) in connection with his employment with the Company prior to the
        execution of this Agreement, including but not limited to any vesting in
        or
        contributions made to any pension funds, 401(k) plans, vested stock options
        or
        restricted stock or other equity interest in the Company.

       

      2.           
        Term of
        Employment.  The Company will continue to employ the Executive
        and the Executive accepts continued employment by the Company on the terms
        and
        conditions herein contained for the period (the “Employment
        Period”) provided
        in Section 5 of
        this Agreement.

       

      3.           
        Duties and Functions.

       

      (a)           
        (i)            The
        Executive shall be employed as General Counsel and Secretary of the Company
        and
        shall oversee, direct and manage the legal affairs of the Company. The Executive
        shall report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the
“CEO”).

      
        
          
          

        

        
          -
            1
            -

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (ii)           
        The Executive agrees to undertake the duties and responsibilities inherent
        in
        the position of General Counsel and Secretary, which may encompass different
        or
        additional duties as may, from time to time, be assigned by the CEO, and
        the
        duties and responsibilities undertaken by the Executive may be altered or
        modified from time to time by the CEO. In addition, Executive acknowledges
        that,
        in addition to serving in his capacity as General Counsel and Secretary of
        the
        Company, he shall serve as General Counsel and Secretary of TerreStar
        Corporation (“TS Corp”) and shall undertake the duties and responsibilities
        inherent in such position as may be assigned by the CEO of TS Corp from time
        to
        time.  The Executive, however, acknowledges he shall not be entitled
        to any additional compensation solely for performing such duties and
        responsibilities inherent in these positions beyond the compensation provided
        pursuant to this Agreement.  The Executive agrees to abide by the
        rules, regulations, instructions, personnel practices and policies of the
        Company and any change thereof which may be adopted at any time by the
        Company.

       

      (b)           
        During the Employment Period, the Executive will devote his full time and
        efforts to the business of the Company and, except as expressly provided
        herein,
        will not engage in consulting work or any trade or business for his own account
        or for or on behalf of any other person, firm or corporation that competes,
        conflicts or interferes with the performance of his duties hereunder in any
        way.
        The Executive may engage in non-competitive business or charitable activities
        for reasonable periods of time each month so long as such activities do not
        interfere with the Executive’s responsibilities
        under this
        Employment Agreement.  The Company acknowledges that the Executive
        currently serves on the board of directors of the companies and organizations
        listed on Schedule
        A attached hereto (the “Other
        Company Board Obligations”) and that the Other Company Board Obligations
        do not violate the terms of this Agreement.  The Executive
        acknowledges that he does not reasonably expect that such Other Company Board
        Obligations will violate the terms of this Agreement during the Executive’s
        employment with the Company.  The Company acknowledges that, in
        addition to the Other Company Board Obligations, from time to time, the
        Executive may be asked to serve on the board of directors of other companies
        or
        organizations.  The Company and the Executive agree that, subject to
        the prior written approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably
        withheld, the Company shall permit the Executive to serve on the boards of
        up to
        two public companies and not more than four (4) boards in total at any one
        time
        (including the Other Company Board Obligations); provided, however,
        that, with
        respect to the Other Company Board Obligations and any additional board
        positions maintained by the Executive, such services (i) do not materially
        interfere with or materially affect the Executive’s service to the Company, (ii)
        do not otherwise create a situation where a conflict of interest or ethical
        concerns are likely to be created and (iii) are not for companies or
        organizations that compete directly with the Company’s business as then
        conducted.

       

      4.           
        Compensation.

       

      (a)           
        Base
        Salary:

       

      (i)           
        As compensation for his services hereunder, during the Executive’s employment as
        General Counsel and Secretary, the Company agrees to pay the Executive
        a base salary at the rate of Three Hundred Sixty-Four Thousand ($364,000)
        per
        annum (the “Base
        Salary”), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal
        payroll schedule, or
        on such other periodic basis as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company
        and
        the Executive.  The Company may withhold from any
        amounts payable
        under this Agreement such federal, state or local taxes as shall be required
        to
        be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or
        regulation.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          -
            2
            -

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      (ii)           
        At the end of calendar year 2008 and at the
        end of each subsequent calendar year thereafter, the Executive’s salary shall be
        reviewed in accordance with corporate policy in effect at the time and
        contributions made by the Executive to the Company during such calendar year
        subject to the provisions of Section 5 of this
        Agreement.

       

      (b)           
        Bonus:  The
        Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual cash bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”), which shall
        be based on a target of Fifty percent (50%) of the Executive’s then current
Base Salary (the “Target
        Annual Bonus”).  The Annual Bonus is not guaranteed and is
        contingent upon the Executive and the Company achieving deliverables or goals
        agreed to by the Executive and the CEO or compensation committee of the
        Board (the “Compensation
        Committee”).  Any Annual Bonus shall be
        determined by the Board or the Compensation
        Committee. 
        There will be an opportunity for the Executive to earn more than the Target
        Annual Bonus based upon Executive’s success in meeting identified performance
        targets during the relevant time period.  The Target Annual Bonus shall be paid, if
        at all, by no
        later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month after the close
        of
        the fiscal year with respect to which the Target Bonus Award is
        payable. For
        purposes of this Agreement, the Executive’s Base Salary and Annual Bonus shall
        be referred to collectively as the “Total Cash
        Compensation.”

       

      (c)           
        Participation
        in
        Equity Incentive Program:  The Executive will be eligible to
        participate in the 2006 TerreStar
        Corporation Equity Incentive Stock Plan, as the same may be amended from
        time to
        time, and such other equity or
        long-term incentive
        programs that
        the Company has established or may, from time to time, establish for its
        employees or service providers (each, a “Plan”
        and, collectively, the “Plans”).  The
        terms and conditions governing eligibility for, entitlement to, and
        participation under any Plan shall be governed by such Plan and any other
        documents or agreements to be executed by the Executive or the Company in
        accordance therewith.

       

      (d)           
        Other
        Expenses:  In addition to the compensation described in this
Section
        5, the
        Company agrees to pay and reimburse the Executive during his employment for
        all
        reasonable, ordinary and necessary, properly vouchered, client-related business
        or entertainment expenses incurred in the performance of his services hereunder
        in accordance with Company policy in effect from time to time; provided, however,
        that the
        amount available to the Executive for such travel, entertainment and other
        expenses may require advance approval by the Chief Financial Officer or such
        other executive officer of the Company pursuant to the Company’s policy then in
        effect.  The Executive shall submit vouchers and receipts for all
        expenses for which reimbursement is sought.

       

      (e)           
        Vacation:  During
        each calendar year, the Executive shall be entitled to the standard amount
        of
        vacation provided by the Company for senior level executives.

      (f)           
        Fringe
        Benefits:  In addition to his compensation provided by the
        foregoing, the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits available generally
        to Company employees pursuant to Company programs, including, by way of
        illustration, personal leave, paid holidays, sick leave, profit-sharing,
        retirement, disability, dental, vision, group sickness, accident or health
        insurance programs of the Company which may now or, if not terminated, shall
        hereafter be in effect, or in any other or additional such programs which
        may be
        established by the Company, as and to the extent any such programs are or
        may
        from time to time be in effect, as determined by the Company and the terms
        hereof, subject to the applicable terms and
        conditions of the benefit plans in effect at that time.  Nothing
        herein shall affect the Company’s ability to modify, alter, terminate or
        otherwise change any benefit plan it has in effect at any given time, to
        the
        extent permitted by law.

       

      5.           
        Employment Period; Termination.

       

      (a)           
        Commencement.  The
        Executive’s employment under this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2008 (the
“Commencement
        Date”), and shall continue thereafter until this Agreement expires on
        December 31, 2008 or the Executive’s
        employment is terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of this
        Agreement.  The parties acknowledge that, for purposes of seniority,
        benefits entitlement, vacation awards, and vesting in any pension/retirement
        programs, the Executive’s initial employment date with the Company shall be the
        relevant date for calculating his eligibility for and entitlement to any
        such
        programs, rather than the Commencement Date.

       

      (b)           
        Employment
        Period.  The Employment Period shall commence on the
        Commencement Date and shall continue until the earlier of: (i) the close
        of
        business on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Expiration
        Date”) (with the period from the Commencement Date through the Expiration
        Date being referred to herein the “Initial
        Term”); and (ii) the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant
        to the terms of this Section
        5.  The Initial Term may be renewed or extended for any
        additional period or periods after the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal
        Term”) if the Executive and the Company mutually consent to such renewal
        or extension at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date or the last day of the expiring
        Renewal
        Term, as applicable.  The Initial
        Term
        plus any Renewal Terms shall be included in the “Employment
        Period.”

       

      (c)           
        Termination By
        Executive Without Good Reason.  Notwithstanding the provisions
        of Sections
        5(a) and 5(b)
        of this
        Agreement, the Executive may terminate the employment relationship at any
        time
        for any reason by giving the Company written notice at least forty-five (45)
        days prior to the effective date of termination.  The Company, at its
        election, may (i) require the Executive to continue to perform his duties
        hereunder for the full forty-five (45) day notice period, or (ii) terminate
        the
        Executive’s employment at any time during such 45-day notice period (but any
        such termination by the Company shall not be deemed to be a termination of
        the
        Executive’s employment without Cause).  Unless otherwise provided by
        this Section
        5, all
        compensation and benefits paid by the Company to the Executive shall cease
        upon
        his last day of employment.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees
        that the non-compete restrictions set forth in the Company’s Confidentiality,
        Non-competition, and Proprietary Rights Agreement or such other similar
        agreement by which the Executive is bound containing similar obligations
        (the
“Confidentiality
        Agreement”) will remain in full force and effect for the twelve (12)
        month period subsequent to his termination pursuant to this Section
        5(c).  Furthermore, the obligations imposed on the Executive
        with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of rights
        to
        inventions or developments in this Agreement, any Confidentiality Agreement
        or
        any other similar agreement executed by the parties shall continue,
        notwithstanding the termination of the employment relationship between the
        parties.  Executive shall be entitled to receive any accrued but
        unpaid salary and bonuses declared and
        communicated to the Executive but not yet
        paid as of
        the effective date of his termination (other than
        such amounts as are subject to a deferred compensation arrangement)
        (collectively, net after deferrals, “Accrued
        Current Compensation”), and to be
        reimbursed in accordance with applicable Company policy for any reimbursable
        expenses that have not been reimbursed prior to such
        termination.

      (d)           
        Termination By
        Company
        For Cause.  If the Executive's employment is terminated for
“Cause,” the Executive will not be entitled to and the Company shall not be
        obligated to pay any compensation or benefits of any type following the
        effective date of termination, but the Executive shall be entitled to receive
        any Accrued Current Compensation, and to be
        reimbursed in accordance with Company policy for any reimbursable expenses
        remaining due and owing that have not been reimbursed prior to his
        termination.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean a
        termination for (i) the conviction of the Executive of, or the entry of a
        pleading of guilty or nolocontendere
        by the Executive
        to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony or fraud (which includes
        any acts of embezzlement or misappropriation of funds) or any material violation
        of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; (ii) serious dereliction of a fiduciary
        obligation or duty of loyalty owed to the Company; (iii)  a refusal to
        substantially perform the Executive's duties hereunder or to comply with
        the
        policies and practices of the Company, except in the event that the Executive
        becomes permanently disabled as set forth in Section 5(f) of this
        Agreement; or (iv) Executive’s material breach of this
        Agreement.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
        Company shall give the Executive written notice prior to terminating the
        Executive's employment based upon a material breach of this Agreement (clause
        (iv) above), setting forth the exact nature of any alleged breach and the
        conduct required to cure such breach.  The Executive shall have
        forty-five (45) days from the giving of such notice within which to cure
        the
        breach.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-compete
        restrictions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full
        force and effect for the twelve (12) month period subsequent to his termination
        pursuant to this Section
        5(d).  Furthermore, the obligations imposed on the Executive
        with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of rights
        to
        inventions or developments in this Agreement, any Confidentiality Agreement
        or
        any other agreement executed by the parties shall continue, notwithstanding
        the
        termination of the employment relationship between the parties.

       

      (e)           
        Termination By
        Company
        Without Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive without
        Cause by delivering written notice to the Executive at least forty-five (45)
        days prior to the effective date of such termination.

      (i)           
        If the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause,
        then,
        subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5(e), the
        Executive shall be entitled to receive an
        aggregate amount equal to one (1) times the
        Executive’s then current annual Total Cash Compensation as severance pay. This
        severance pay shall be paid in substantially equal
        monthly installments (or such other frequency consistent with the Company’s
        payroll practice then in effect for active employees at the executive level)
        over a period of twelve (12) months, commencing no later than thirty (30)
        days
        after the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause,
        except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  In addition,
        to
        the extent that the Executive qualifies for, complies with the requirements
        of
        and otherwise remains eligible for continuation of his health care insurance
        benefits under COBRA, and payment of COBRA premiums is permitted under
        applicable laws and regulations, the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums
        until
        the earlier of (A) such time as the Executive obtains alternative employment
        and
        becomes eligible for health insurance through his new employer and (B) eighteen
        (18) months following the date of his termination.  For purposes of
        determining severance pursuant to this Section 5(e)(i), the
        Total Cash Compensation shall be calculated based on the Executive’s current
        Base Salary as of the effective date of his termination, and the full Target
        Annual Bonus for the relevant year.  Further, the Executive shall be entitled to
        receive any
        Accrued Current Compensation, and to be reimbursed in accordance with Company
        policy for any reimbursable expenses remaining due and owing that have not
        been
        reimbursed prior to his termination.

       

      (ii)           
        In addition to the Executive’s severance calculated in accordance with Section 5(e)(i),
if
        the Executive's employment is terminated by the
        Company without Cause,
the
        vesting period shall be
        accelerated for all of Executive’s unvested
        options, shares of restricted stock, or other rights to purchase equity
        securities of the Company (collectively, the “Award
        Shares”) awarded to Executive pursuant to any Plan, such that any then-unvested
        Award Shares awarded
        to Executive shall become fully vested effective immediately prior to the
        effective date of Executive’s termination of employment.

       

      (iii)           
        The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-compete restrictions set
        forth in the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect
        for
        the twelve (12) month period subsequent to his termination pursuant to this
        Section
        5(e).  Furthermore, the obligations imposed on Executive with
        respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of rights to
        inventions or developments in this Agreement, any Confidentiality Agreement
        or
        any other agreement executed by the parties shall continue, notwithstanding
        the
        termination of the employment relationship between the parties.

       

      (iv)           
        The severance pay, COBRA premium payment and accelerated vesting of Award
        Shares
        to be provided under this Section 5(e) are
        referred to herein collectively as the “Termination
        Compensation.”  The
        Executive
        shall not be entitled to any Termination Compensation unless (i) the Executive
        complies with all surviving provisions of any Confidentiality
        Agreement by which the Executive is bound, and (ii) the Executive executes
        and
        delivers to the Company after a notice of termination and
        on or before the last date on which the severance
        pay is scheduled to commence, a mutual
        release in form and
        substance acceptable to the Company by which the Executive releases the Company
        from any obligations and liabilities of any type whatsoever under this
        Agreement, except for the Company's obligations with respect to the Termination
        Compensation, which release shall not affect the Executive’s right to
        indemnification, if any, for actions taken within the scope of his
        employment.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
        Termination Compensation shall be paid or otherwise provided until all
        applicable revocation periods have fully expired, and the mutual release
        becomes
        fully and finally enforceable.  The parties hereto acknowledge that
        the Termination Compensation to be provided under this Section 5(e)(iv) is
        to be provided in part in consideration for the above-specified
        release.

      (v)           
        Except as otherwise provided under Section
        11, the Termination Compensation described
        in this
Section 5(e) is
        intended to supersede any other severance payment provided by any Company
        policy, plan or practice.  Therefore, the Executive shall be
        disqualified from receiving any severance payment under any other Company
        severance policy, plan or practice.

      

      (f)           
        Termination for
        Executive’s Permanent Disability.  To the extent permissible
        under applicable law, in the event the Executive becomes permanently disabled
        during employment with the Company, the Company may terminate Executive’s
        employment under this Agreement by giving forty-five (45) days prior written
        notice to the Executive of its intent to terminate, and unless the Executive
        resumes performance of the duties set forth in Section 3 within
        forty-five (45) days of the date of the notice, Executive’s employment under
        this Agreement shall terminate at the end of such forty-five (45) day
        period.  If the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to this
Section 5(f),
        he shall be entitled to receive any Accrued
        Current Compensation, an aggregate amount equal
        to one-half
        of his then-current annual Total Cash Compensation as severance pay, and reimbursement in
        accordance with Company
        policy for any reimbursable expenses remaining
        due and owing that have not been reimbursed prior to his
        termination.  For purposes of determining severance pursuant to this
Section
        5(f), the Total Cash Compensation shall
        be
        calculated based on the Executive’s current Base Salary as of the effective date
        of his termination, and the full Target Annual Bonus for the relevant
        year.  This severance pay shall
        be paid in substantially equal monthly
        installments (or such other frequency consistent with the Company’s payroll
        practice then in effect for active employees at the executive level) over
        a
        period of twelve (12) months, commencing no later than thirty (30) days after
        the Executive’s employment is terminated because he becomes permanently
        disabled, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and shall be
        offset by amounts paid to the Executive under any disability insurance policy
        maintained or provided by the Company on the Executive.  If
        the Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to
        this Section
        5(f), the vesting period shall be
        accelerated for all of Executive’s Award Shares awarded to Executive pursuant to
        any Plan, such that any then-unvested Award Shares awarded to Executive shall
        become fully vested effective immediately prior to the effective date of
        Executive’s termination of employment.  For the purposes
        of this Agreement, “permanently
        disabled” means the
        inability, due to physical or mental ill health, to perform the essential
        functions of the Executive's job,
        with
        a reasonable accommodation,
if
        applicable, for ninety (90) days
        during any one year of employment irrespective of whether such days are
        consecutive.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the
        non-compete restrictions set forth in any Confidentiality Agreement will
        remain
        in full force and effect for the twelve (12) month period subsequent to his
        termination pursuant to this Section
        5(f).  Furthermore, the obligations imposed on the Executive
        with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of rights
        to
        inventions or developments in this Agreement, any Confidentiality Agreement
        or
        any other agreement executed by the parties shall continue, notwithstanding
        the
        termination of the employment relationship between the
        parties.

      (g)           
        Termination Due
        To
        Executive’s Death.  Executive’s employment under this Agreement
        will terminate immediately upon the Executive's death, and the Company shall
        not
        have any further liability or obligation to the Executive, his executors,
        heirs,
        assigns or any other person claiming under or through his estate, except
        that
        the Executive’s estate shall receive any Accrued
        Current Compensation,
and the Company
        shall provide severance pay to the Executive’s estate in
        an amount equal to one-half of his then-current annual Total Cash
        Compensation. For
        purposes of determining severance pursuant to this
Section
        5(g), the Total Cash Compensation shall
        be
        calculated based on the Executive’s current Base Salary as of the effective date
        of his death, and the full Target Annual Bonus for the relevant year.  Any severance
        pay shall
        be paid
        in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after the
        Executive’s death. If the
        Executive’s
        employment is
        terminated upon his death, the vesting period shall
        be accelerated for all of Executive’s Award Shares awarded to Executive pursuant
        to any Plan, such that any then-unvested Award Shares awarded to Executive
        shall
        become fully vested effective as of his date of death and shall be exercisable
        thereafter in accordance with the terms of the applicable award
        agreement.  At the Company’s discretion, the Company shall have the
        option to provide for payment of the cash severance pay called for under
        this
Section
        5(g) by means of a life insurance policy
        owned by the Company on the Executive’s life, and the Executive agrees to take
        all steps reasonably necessary to fulfill any underwriting requirements in
        order
        for the Company to obtain such life insurance policy.  Any death
        benefit payment from such policy to the Executive’s estate or designated
        beneficiary shall offset, and not be paid in duplication of, the cash severance
        amount described in this Section
        5(g).

      

      (h)           
        Termination by
        Executive for “Good Reason”.

       

                     
        (i)            
        Subject to the
        provisions of this Section
        5(h),
the
        Executive shall have the right to terminate his employment under this
        Agreement for Good Reason.

       

                     
        (ii)            For
        purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason”
means
        the occurrence of any of the following without
        the Executive’s consent:

       

      (1)
        the
        Company’s willful material breach of any provision of this
        Agreement;

       

      (2)
        any
        material adverse change in the Executive’s compensation, position (including
        his position as General Counsel and Secretary
        of the Company and/or as General Counsel and Secretary of TS Corp), authority,
        duties or
        responsibilities, or any other action
        by
        the Company (other than a change because the
        Executive becomes
        permanently disabled or as an
        accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act) which results in:
        a
        diminution in any material respect in Executive’s position, authority, duties,
        responsibilities or base compensation,
        which diminution continues in time over at least thirty (30) days, such that
        it
        constitutes an effective demotion (provided, however,
        that, for
        the avoidance of doubt, no diminution of title, position, duties or
        responsibilities shall be deemed to occur solely because the Company becomes
        a
        division, unit or subsidiary of another corporation or entity or because
        there
        has been a change in the reporting hierarchy incident thereto involving the
        Executive), excluding for this purpose material adverse changes made due
        to the
        Executive’s termination for Cause or termination by the Executive without Good
        Reason;

      (3)
        relocation of the Company’s headquarters
        and/or the Executive’s regular work address to a location which requires the
        Executive to travel more than fifty (50) miles from the Executive’s residence
        (provided that it shall not qualify as “Good Reason” if the Company moves its
        headquarters within the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area -- i.e., anywhere
        within thirty (30) miles of Capitol Hill -- even if the new headquarters
        location is more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s residence); or

       

      (4)
        any other action or inaction that constitutes a
        material breach by the Company of this Agreement;

       

      provided, however,
        that it
        shall not constitute Good Reason unless the Executive shall have provided
        the
        Company with written notice of the Company’s alleged actions constituting Good
        Reason (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the particulars of
        such
        actions constituting Good Reason) within thirty
        (30) days after the initial existence of any such alleged actions and the
        Company has not cured any such alleged actions constituting Good Reason or
        substantially commenced its effort to cure such breach within thirty
        (30) days of the Company’s receipt of such written
        notice;
        provided further, that a termination by the Executive
        for Good Reason shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the termination
        occurs within two (2) years after the initial existence of any of the conditions
        specified in this Section
        5(h)(ii). Notwithstanding
        the
        foregoing, in order to avoid any confusion, any consolidation, merger or other corporate
        restructuring of or between the Company and TerreStar Corporation (“TS Corp”) (including
        but not
        limited to any transaction or series of transactions that results in TS Corp becoming
        the sole
        shareholder of the Company, or that results in TS
        Corp and the
        Company being merged into one another), or any change in the reporting hierarchy
        incident thereto involving the Executive, shall not trigger “Good Reason” as
        long as Executive’s duties, responsibilities and compensation are not materially
        altered in an adverse manner with respect to the Company, regardless of whether
        the Company remains an independent corporate entity, or becomes a part of,
        or a
        unit, division or subsidiary of, TS
        Corp or any
        related company.

       

                 
        (iii)            A
        termination for Good Reason shall be treated for all severance purposes as
        a
        Termination without Cause, and the Executive shall be entitled to receive all of the payments
        identified in Section
        5(e), subject to the terms and conditions
        of Section
        5(e), and Executive’s
        Award Shares
        in the Company or TS
        Corp, as applicable, shall be accelerated
        consistent with Section 5(e)(ii);
provided,
however,
        that in
        connection with a termination for Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled
        to exercise stock options in accordance with the terms
        of
        the Plan and any applicable agreements governing such stock
        options.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-compete
        restrictions set forth in any Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full
        force and effect for the twelve (12) month period subsequent to his termination
        pursuant to this Section
        5(h).  Furthermore, the obligations imposed on the Executive
        with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure and assignment of rights
        to
        inventions or developments in this Agreement, any Confidentiality Agreement
        or
        any other agreement executed by the parties shall continue, notwithstanding
        the
        termination of the employment relationship between the
        parties.

      (i)           
        Expiration of
        the
        Agreement.  If this Agreement expires at the end of the Initial
        Term as a result of the Company not renewing or extending the Employment
        Period
        for a Renewal Term where the Executive was willing
        and able to execute a new contract providing terms and conditions substantially
        similar to those in the expiring contract and to continue performing such
        services, then upon the Executive’s termination of employment at or after
        such expiration
        of the
        Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5(e),
        the
        Executive shall be entitled to receive severance
        pay equivalent to nine (9) months of Total Cash Compensation.  The amount payable pursuant to the
        immediately preceding sentence shall be paid in substantially equal monthly
        installments (or such other frequency consistent with the Company’s payroll
        practice then in effect for active employees at the executive level) over
        a
        period of twelve (12) months, commencing no later than thirty (30) days after
        the Executive’s employment is terminated, except as otherwise provided in this
        Agreement.  For purposes of determining severance pay pursuant to this
Section
        5(i), the Total Cash Compensation shall
        be
        calculated based on the Executive’s current Base Salary as of the effective date
        of his termination, and the full Target Annual Bonus for the relevant
        year.  In addition, if the Executive’s employment terminates at or
        after the expiration of the Agreement under the conditions described in this
        Section
        5(i), to the extent that the Executive
        qualifies for, complies with the requirements of and otherwise remains eligible
        for continuation of his health care insurance benefits under COBRA, and payment
        of COBRA premiums is permitted under applicable laws and regulations, the
        Company shall pay the COBRA premiums until the earlier of (A) such time as
        the
        Executive obtains alternative employment and becomes eligible for health
        insurance through his new employer and (B) eighteen (18) months following
        the
        date of his termination.  Further, upon the Executive’s termination of
        employment at or after the expiration of this Agreement, the Executive shall
        be
        entitled to receive any Accrued Current Compensation, and to be reimbursed
        in
        accordance with Company policy for any reimbursable expenses remaining due
        and
        owing that have not been reimbursed prior to his termination.  The
        Executive acknowledges and agrees that the non-compete restrictions set forth
        in
        any Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect for the
        twelve (12) month period subsequent to his termination of employment on or
        after
        the expiration of this Agreement.  Furthermore, the obligations
        imposed on the Executive with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure
        and
        assignment of rights to inventions or developments in this Agreement, any
        Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement executed by the parties
        shall
        continue, notwithstanding the termination of the employment relationship
        between
        the parties.

       

      6.           
        Company Property. All
        correspondence,
        records, documents, software, promotional materials, and other Company property,
        including all copies, which come into the Executive's possession by, through
        or
        in the course of his employment, regardless of the source and
        whether created by the Executive, are the sole and exclusive property of
        the
        Company, and immediately upon the termination of the Executive's employment,
        or
        at any time the Company shall request, the Executive shall return to the
        Company
        all such property of the Company, without retaining any copies, summaries
        or
        excerpts of any kind or in any format whatsoever.  The Executive
        further agrees that should he discover any Company property or Confidential
        Information (as hereinafter defined) in his possession after the return of
        such
        property has been requested, the Executive agrees to return it promptly to
        the
        Company without retaining copies, summaries or excerpts of any kind or in
        any
        format whatsoever.

      7.           
        Non-Competition;
        Non-Solicitation.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that, as a
        condition of his employment under this Agreement, he shall be required to
        execute a copy of a Confidentiality Agreement to the extent that he has not
        already done so, and he shall be bound by the terms and conditions of that
        Confidentiality Agreement, including those provisions addressing non-competition
        and non-solicitation of customers and employees, which shall continue in
        full
        force and effect throughout the course of his employment and shall survive
        the
        termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company
        for any reason.  The Executive acknowledges that he has received a
        copy of the Company’s Confidentiality Agreement and he fully understands its
        terms.  The Confidentiality Agreement, as well as all of the terms and
        obligations imposed on the Executive therein, is incorporated into this
        Agreement in their entirety by reference.  It shall not be a defense
        to any action seeking to enforce the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement
        that
        the Executive has failed to execute a copy of the Confidentiality
        Agreement.  The existence of a claim, charge, or cause of action by
        the Executive against the Company under this Agreement or otherwise shall
        not
        constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the foregoing
        restrictive covenants contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, but such
        claim, charge, or cause of action shall be litigated separately.

       

      8.           
        Protection of Confidential
        Information. The Executive
        agrees
        that all information, whether or not in writing, relating to the business,
        technical or financial affairs of the Company and that is generally understood
        in the industry as being confidential and/or proprietary information, is
        the
        exclusive property of the Company.  The Executive agrees to hold in a
        fiduciary capacity for the sole benefit of the Company all secret, confidential
        or proprietary information, knowledge, data, or trade secret (“Confidential
        Information”) relating to the
        Company or any of its affiliates or their respective clients, which Confidential
        Information shall have been obtained during his employment with the
        Company.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition
        of his employment under this Agreement, he is and shall remain bound by the
        terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement, including those
        provisions addressing the confidentiality and non-disclosure of Company
        Confidential Information, and those provisions, and he obligations they impose
        on the Executive shall continue in full force and effect throughout the course
        of his employment and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
        the
        Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason.  The Executive
        agrees that he will not at any time, either during the Term of this Agreement
        or
        after its termination, disclose to anyone any Confidential Information, or
        utilize such Confidential Information for his own benefit, or for the benefit
        of
        third parties without written approval by an officer of the
        Company.  The Executive further agrees that all documents, memoranda,
        notes, records, data, schematics, sketches, computer programs, presentations,
        prototypes, or written, photographic,
        magnetic or other documents or tangible objects developed, created or compiled
        by him or made available to him at any time during his employment concerning
        the
        business of the Company and/or its clients, including any copies of such
        materials, shall be the property of the Company and shall be delivered to
        the
        Company on the termination of his employment, or at any other time upon request
        of the Company, and he shall not retain any such materials or copies of such
        materials subsequent to the termination of his employment for any
        reason.

      9.             
        Intellectual
        Property.  The
        Executive
        acknowledges and agrees that he is and shall at all times remain bound by
        the
        terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement during the course of
        his
        employment with the Company and thereafter, including those provisions
        addressing his obligations to the Company with respect to intellectual property
        belonging to the Company.  These obligations shall continue in full
        force and effect throughout the course of his employment and shall survive
        the
        termination of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company
        for any reason.

      

      10.           
        Injunctive
        Relief.  The Executive acknowledges that he understands that,
        in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by the Executive
        (including the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement expressly incorporated
        herein by reference), the Company may suffer irreparable harm and will therefore
        be entitled to injunctive relief, without prior notice to the Executive and
        without the posting of a bond or other guarantee, to enforce this
        Agreement.  This provision is not a waiver of any other rights which
        the Company may have under this Agreement, including the right to recover
        attorneys’ fees and costs to cover the expenses it incurs in seeking to enforce
        this Agreement, as well as to any other
        remedies available to it, including money damages.

      

      11.           
        Change of Control
        Benefits.

      

       
        (a)            In the
        event that, at any time during the Executive’s employment under this Agreement,
        the Company and/or TS Corp experiences a
        Change of Control (as hereinafter defined) and Executive experiences a Change
        of
        Control Position Modification (as hereinafter defined) in
        connection with such Change of Control then,
        provided that Executive shall have executed a release in form and substance
        acceptable to the Company, and subject to the other terms and conditions
        contained in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive a
        lump
        sum payment in an amount equal to two (2)
        times
        the Executive’s then current annual Total Cash Compensation as
        severance pay, in recognition of his
        contributions leading up to the Change of Control.  Such
        lump sum payment shall be reduced by the gross
        amount of severance, if any, received by the Executive pursuant to Section
        5 of this Agreement prior to the date
        of payment under
        this Section
        11.  For purposes of determining
        severance pursuant to this Section
        11(a), the Total Cash Compensation shall
        be calculated based
        on the Executive’s current Base Salary as of the effective date of his
        termination (without giving effect to any reduction in Base Salary which
        gave
        rise to the Good Reason termination, if applicable), and the full Target
        Annual
        Bonus for the relevant year.  This severance pay shall be paid no
        later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Change of Control or,
        if later, the Change of Control Position Modification,
        except as otherwise specified under Section
        11(c).  In
        addition, vesting in
        all of Executive’s
        unvested Award Shares shall be accelerated such
        that Executive’s then unvested
        Award Shares
        shall become vested immediately prior to the effective date of Executive’s
        termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Plan and
        other agreements.  In addition, to the
        extent that the Executive qualifies for, complies with the requirements of
        and
        otherwise remains eligible for continuation of his health care insurance
        benefits under COBRA, and payment of COBRA premiums is permitted under
        applicable laws and regulations, the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums
        until
        the earlier of (A) such time as the Executive obtains alternative employment
        and
        becomes eligible for health insurance through his new employer and (B) eighteen
        (18) months following the date of his termination.  The severance
        provisions under this Section
        11 shall supersede, and not be in duplication
        of, the
        severance provisions contained in Section
        5(e), except
        as otherwise specified under Section
        11(c).

        combined voting power of the voting securities of Parent or the Company or the surviving

        voting securities of Parent or
        the Company outstanding immediately prior
        thereto hold securities immediately thereafter which represent more than
        50% of
        the combined voting power of the voting securities of the acquiror, or parent
        of
        the acquiror, of such assets;

        (each, an“Incumbent Board”) cease for any
        reason to constitute at least a majority of such Board within
        such twelve (12) month period; provided,
        however, that any individual becoming a director whose election to the Board of
        Directors of the Parent or the Company was approved
        by a vote
        of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the applicable
        Incumbent Board shall be considered as
        though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
        for
        this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs
        as a
        result of an election contest with respect to the election or removal of
        directors or other solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of
        a
        person other than the Board of Directors of the
        Parent or the Company; provided further, that a change to the membership
        of the current Board of the Parent or

        of
        directors of TS Corp and the Company as a
        result of such consolidation, merger or other corporate restructuring) shall
        not

        “Change
        of Control Position Modification” shall mean that, coincident with or within three (3) months after
        a Change of Control, Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company or its successor without
        Cause (as
        defined in Section
        5(d) above) or Executive terminates his employment with
        the Company or its successor with Good Reason (as
        defined in Section
        5(h) above). For
        the avoidance of
        doubt, no diminution of title, position, duties or responsibilities shall
        be
        deemed to occur solely because the Company has experienced a Change of Control
        or has been merged into or becomes a division, unit or subsidiary of another
        corporation or entity or because there has been a change in the reporting
        hierarchy incident thereto involving the Executive. A
        Change of Control Position Modification shall also be
        deemed to have occurred coincident with the Change of Control if the Executive’s
        employment with the Company had been terminated by the Company without Cause
        within the three- (3-) month period prior to the date on which the Change
        of
        Control occurred, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive to
        the
        Board that such termination of employment either was at the request of a
        third
        party who had taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control
        or otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change of
        Control.  Any determination by the Board in this regard shall be made
        in good faith taking into account all facts and circumstances surrounding
        the
        termination of employment.  In any event, a Change
        of
        Control Position Modification shall not be deemed to have occurred unless
(a) the
        Executive shall have
        provided the Company with written notice of the Company’s alleged actions
        constituting a Change of Control Position Modification (which notice shall
        specify in reasonable detail the particulars of such actions) within
        thirty (30) days after the initial existence of
        any such alleged actions, and the Company has not cured any such alleged
        actions or substantially commenced its effort to cure such breach within
thirty (30)
        days of the Company’s receipt of such written notice,
        and (b) the termination occurs within six (6) months
        after the initial existence of any one of the conditions specified in this
        Section
        11(b)(3) upon which the termination is
        based.

        common control with”, as used with respect to any Person, means the
        possession, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries or
        otherwise, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management

        Company, the entity that is the ultimate
        parent corporation of the Company.

      

      (vii)          “Person”
        means any individual, firm, corporation, limited liability company, partnership,
        sole proprietorship, trust or other legally cognizable entity.

       (A)           
        any corporation, association or other business entity of which more than
        50% of
        the total voting power of shares of capital stock entitled (without regard
        to
        the occurrence of any contingency and after giving effect to any voting
        agreement or stockholders’ agreement that effectively transfers voting power) to
        vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees of the corporation,
        association or other business entity is at the time owned or controlled,
        directly or indirectly, by that Person or one or more of the other Subsidiaries
        of that Person (or a combination thereof); and

      

       (B)           
        any partnership (1) the sole general partner or the managing general partner
        of

        more
        Subsidiaries (as defined in clause (A))
        of that Person (or any combination
        thereof).

       

      (c)

        of
        Control Position Modification that results in his termination of employment

        Executive shall have executed a release in form and substance
        acceptable to the Company, and subject to the
        other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Executive shall
        receive such benefits to which he is entitled under Section
        5 of this Agreement absent the occurrence
        a Change of
        Control.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, within thirty (30)
        days after the effective date of the Change of Control, Executive shall cease
        receiving further severance pay payments under Section
        5and shall receive the balance of the
        benefits (without
        interest) to which he is entitled under Section
        11(a).  For the avoidance of doubt, the benefits
        provided under this Section
        11shall not be made in duplication of
        any benefits
        provided under Section

        federal, state, local or foreign taxes due with respect to any payment received
        hereunder, including, without limitation, any excise tax imposed by Section
        4999
        of the Code; provided, however, that
        any payment or
        benefit received or to be received by the Executive in connection with a
        Change
        of Control or the termination of the Executive’s employment (whether payable
        pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Contract
        Payments”)
        or any other plan, arrangements or agreement with the Company or any affiliate
        (collectively with the Contract Payments, the “Total
        Payments”))
        shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion thereof shall
        be
        subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code but only if,
        by
        reason of such reduction, the net after-tax benefit received by the Executive
        shall exceed the net after-tax benefit that would be received by the Executive
        if no such reduction was made.

      

      (b)           
        For purposes of this Section 12, “net
        after-tax benefit” shall mean (i) the total of all payments and the value of all
        benefits which the Executive receives or is then entitled to receive from
        the
        Company that would constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of
        Section 280G of the Code, less (ii) the amount of all federal, state and
        local
        income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the maximum
        marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall be paid
        to
        the Executive (based on the rate in effect for such year as set forth in
        the
        Code as in effect at the time of the first payment of the foregoing), less
        (iii)
        the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits
        described in (i) above by Section 4999 of the Code.

      

      (c)           
        The foregoing determination shall be made by a nationally recognized accounting
        firm (the “Accounting
        Firm”) selected by the Company and
        reasonably acceptable to the Executive (which may be, but will not be required
        to be, the Company’s independent auditors).  The Accounting Firm shall
        submit its determination and detailed supporting calculations to both the
        Executive and the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a notice
        from either the Company or the Executive that the Executive may receive payments
        which may be “parachute payments.”  If
        the Accounting Firm determines
        that a reduction is required by this Section 12, the
        Executive, in the Executive’s discretion, may determine which of the Total
        Payments shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
        Total Payments shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
        of the
        Code, and the Company shall pay such reduced amount to the Executive; provided
        that, if the Executive does not make such determination within ten (10) business
        days after the receipt of the calculations made by the Accounting Firm, the
        Company shall elect which and how much of the Total Payments shall be eliminated
        or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 12 and shall
        notify the Executive promptly of such election.
        

        (d)           
          The Executive and the Company shall each provide the Accounting Firm access
          to
          and copies of any books, records, and documents in the possession of the
          Executive or the Company, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the
          Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection
          with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations
          contemplated by this Section
          12.  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its
          services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated
          by
          this Section 12
          shall be borne by the Company.

      13.           
        Publicity.  Except
        as otherwise required by law, including but not limited to the disclosure
        obligations imposed on public companies under the federal and/or state
        securities laws, neither party shall issue, without consent of the other
        party,
        any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this Agreement
        or the employment relationship between them.  Following the date of
        this Agreement and regardless of any dispute that may arise in the future,
        the
        Executive and the Company jointly and mutually agree that they will not
        disparage, criticize or make statements that are negative, detrimental or
        injurious to the other to any individual, company or client, including within
        the Company.

      

      14.           
        Non-disparagement.  The
        Executive shall not, while executive is employed by the Company or at any
        time
        thereafter, directly, or through any other personal entity, make any public
        or
        private statements that are disparaging of the Company, its business or its
        employees, officers, directors, or stockholders.  The Company agrees
        to refrain from any public statements after the Executive’s employment with the
        Company ceases that are disparaging to the Executive.  The
        Company’s obligations
        under this section extend only to then current officers and members of the
        board, and only for so long as those individuals are officers or directors
        of
        the Company.

      

      15.           
        Binding
        Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
        the benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, personal representatives,
        successors and assigns.  In the event the Company is acquired, is a
        non surviving party in a merger, or transfers substantially all of its assets,
        this Agreement shall not be terminated and the transferee or surviving company
        shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.  The parties
        understand that the obligations of the Executive are personal and may not
        be
        assigned by him.

       

      16.           
        Entire
        Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding of
        the Executive and the Company with respect to employment of the Executive
        and
        supersedes the
        Predecessor Agreement and any and all
        prior
        understandings, written or oral, except for the Confidentiality Agreement,
        the
        Plans and agreements that have been executed or are to be executed in connection
        with any Award Shares or other equity interests awarded to the Executive
        during
        the course of his employment; provided, however,
        that any provisions of this Agreement with respect to the vesting of, lapse
        of
        restrictions upon, or exercise of Award Shares that are more favorable to
        the
        Executive than the provisions set forth in the applicable award agreements
        shall
        be controlling and shall be treated by the parties as an amendment of such
        award
        agreements.  This Agreement
        may not be amended, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only
        by
        an instrument in writing, specifically identified as an amendment to this
        Agreement, and signed by all parties.  By entering into this
        Agreement, the Executive certifies and acknowledges that he has carefully
        read
        all of the provisions of this Agreement and that he voluntarily and knowingly
        enters into said Agreement.
         

        17.           
          Severability.  Any
          provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
          jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed severable from the
          remainder of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions contained in
          this
          Agreement shall be construed to preserve to the maximum permissible extent
          the
          intent and purposes of this Agreement.

      18.           
        Tax
        Consequences.  Company will have no obligation to any Person
        entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to any tax obligation
        any such Person incurs as a result of or attributable to this Agreement,
        including all supplemental agreements and employee benefits plans incorporated
        by reference therein, or arising from any payments made or to be made under
        this
        Agreement or thereunder.

       

      19.           
        Governing Law and Submission
        to
        Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and
        construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
        Virginia, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law
        thereof.

       

      20.           
        Notices.  Any
        notice provided for in this Agreement shall be provided in
        writing.  Notices shall be effective from the date of service, if
        served personally on the party to whom notice is to be given, or on the second
        day after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, postage
        prepaid.  Notices shall be properly addressed to the parties at their
        respective addresses or to such other address as either party may later specify
        by notice to the other.

       

      21.           
        ARBITRATION.  The
        parties agree that, except as discussed in this Agreement, any controversy,
        claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
        the breach thereof,
        or arising out of or relating to the employment of the Executive, or the
        termination thereof, including any statutory or common law claims under federal,
        state, or local law, including all laws prohibiting discrimination in the
        workplace, shall be resolved by arbitration before a single arbitrator in
        Fairfax County, Virginia in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution
        Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The parties agree that
        any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and that
        judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
        thereof.  The parties further acknowledge and agree that, due to the
        nature of the confidential information, trade secrets, and intellectual property
        belonging to the Company and its affiliates
        to which the Executive has or will be given
        access, and the likelihood of significant harm that the Company and
        its affiliates would suffer in the event that
        such information was disclosed to third parties, nothing in this paragraph
        shall
        preclude the Company from going to court to seek injunctive relief to prevent
        the Executive from violating the obligations established in Sections 7 through
        9
        of this Agreement.
This
        agreement to arbitrate
        does not include claims that, by law, may not be subject to mandatory
        arbitration.

      22.          Indemnification.

       

      (a)           
        Corporate
        Acts.  In his/her capacity as a director, manager, officer, or
        employee of the Company or serving or having served any other entity as a
        director, manager, officer, or the Executive at the Company’s request, the
        Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest
        extent allowed by law, the Company’s charter and by-laws, from and against any
        and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including legal fees
        and
        expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any
        and
        all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal,
        administrative or investigative, in which the Executive may be involved,
        or
        threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise by reason of the Executive’s
        status, which relate to or arise out of the Company, their assets, business
        or
        affairs, if in each of the foregoing cases, (i) the Executive acted in good
        faith and in a manner the Executive believed to be in, or not opposed to,
        the
        best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding,
        had
        no reasonable cause to believe the Executive’s conduct was unlawful, and (ii)
        the Executive’s conduct did not constitute gross negligence or willful or wanton
        misconduct (and the Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the
        fullest extent permitted under applicable law, provided the Executive provides
        an undertaking to repay advances if it is ultimately determined that Executive
        is not entitled to indemnification). The Company shall advance all expenses
        incurred by the Executive in connection with the investigation, defense,
        settlement or appeal of any civil or criminal action or proceeding referenced
        in
        this Section
        22, including but not necessarily limited to legal counsel, expert
        witnesses or other litigation-related expenses.  The Executive shall
        be entitled to coverage under the Company’s directors and officers liability
        insurance policy in effect at any time in the future to no lesser extent
        than
        any other officers or directors of the Company.  After the Executive
        is no longer employed by the Company, the Company shall keep in effect the
        provisions of this Section 22, which
        provision shall not be amended except as required by applicable law or except
        to
        make changes permitted by law that would enlarge the right of indemnification
        of
        the Executive.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
        provisions of this Section 22 shall
        survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Employment
        Period for any reason.

       

      (b)           
        Personal
        Guarantees.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the
        Executive for any liability incurred by him/her by reason of his/her execution
        of any personal guarantee for the Company’s benefit (including but not limited
        to personal guarantees in connection with office or equipment leases, commercial
        loans or promissory notes).

       

      (c)           
        The indemnification provision of this Section 22 shall
        be
        in addition to any other liability the Company otherwise may have to the
        Executive to indemnify him for his conduct in connection with his efforts
        on the
        Company’s behalf.

       

      23. Section
        409A Safe
        Harbor.

       

      (a)           
        This Agreement is intended to comply with,
        or
        otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code.

       

      (b)           
        This Company shall undertake to administer,
        interpret, and construe this Agreement in a manner that does not result in
        the
        imposition on the Executive of any additional tax, penalty, or interest under
        Section 409A of the Code.

       

      (c)           
        If the Company determines in good faith that
        any
        provision of this Agreement would cause the Executive to incur an additional
        tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A of the Code, theCompany and the Executive agree that
        they will execute
        any and all amendments to this Agreement permitted under applicable law as
        they mutually agree in good faith may be necessary to
        ensure compliance with the distribution provisions of Section 409A of the
        Code
        or as otherwise needed to ensure that this Agreement complies with Section
        409A.

      (d)           
        The preceding provisions, however, shall not
        be
        construed as a guarantee by the Company of any particular tax effect to the
        Executive under this Agreement.  The Company shall not be liable to
        the Executive for any payment made under this Agreement, at the direction
        or
        with the consent of the Executive, that is determined to result in an additional
        tax, penalty, or interest under Section 409A of the Code, nor for reporting
        in
        good faith any payment made under this Agreement as an amount includible
        in
        gross income under Section 409A of the Code.

       

      (e)           
        For purposes of Section 409A of the Code,
        the
        right to a series of installment payments under this Agreement shall be treated
        as a right to a series of separate payments.

       

      (f)           
        With respect to any reimbursement of expenses
        of,
        or any provision of in-kind benefits to, the Executive, as specified under
        this
        Agreement, such reimbursement of expenses or provision of in-kind benefits
        shall
        be subject to the following conditions: (i) the expenses eligible for
        reimbursement or the amount of in-kind benefits provided in one taxable year
        shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or the amount of
        in-kind benefits provided in any other taxable year, except for any medical
        reimbursement arrangement providing for the reimbursement of expenses referred
        to in Section 105(b) of the Code; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense
        shall be made no later than the end of the year after the year in which such
        expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits
        shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another
        benefit.

       

      (g)           
        “Termination of employment,” or words of similar
        import, as used in this Agreement, means for purposes of Section 409A of
        the
        Code the date as of which the Company and the Executive reasonably anticipate
        that no further services will be performed by the Executive and shall be
        construed as the date that the Executive first incurs a “separation from
        service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

       

      (h)           
        If a payment obligation under this Agreement
        arises on account of the Executive’s separation from service while the Executive
        is a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code and
        determined in good faith by the Compensation Committee), any payment of
“deferred compensation” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section
        1.409A-1(b)(1), after giving effect to the exemptions in Treasury Regulation
        Sections 1.409A-1(b)(3) through (b)(12)) shall accrue without interest and
        shall
        be made within 15 days after the end of the six-month period beginning on
        the
        date of such separation from service or, if earlier, within 15 days after
the
        appointment of the personal representative or
        executor of the Executive’s estate following his
        death.
         

        24.           Miscellaneous.

         

        (a)           
          No delay or omission by the Company in exercising any right under this
          Agreement
          shall operate as a waiver of that or any other right. A waiver or consent
          given
          by the Company on any one occasion shall be effective only in that instance
          and
          shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any right on any other
          occasion.

         

        (b)           
          The captions of the sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference
          only and in no way define, limit or affect the scope or substance of any
          section

	SECTION 2.CREDIT FACILITIES

	2.1.

	 	Revolver Commitment.
	
 
	 	 

2.1.1. Revolver Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its
Revolver Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers from time
to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed
as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a
Revolver Loan if the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at such time (including the
requested Loan) would exceed the Borrowing Base.

2.1.2. Evidence of Revolver Loans. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and
interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the
request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver a Revolver Loan note to such Lender in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to such Lender.

2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers
solely (a) to satisfy existing Debt; (b) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the
closing of this credit facility; (c) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (d)
for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers.

2.1.4. Voluntary Increase and Termination of Revolver Commitments.

(a) The Borrower Agent may, on not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Agent
irrevocably request that the Revolver Commitment be increased to an aggregate Revolver Commitment
amount of $40,000,000. Such notice shall set forth the date on which such additional Revolver
Commitment is requested to become effective. Any such increase will be effective subject to (i)
receipt by Agent of a certificate of an executive officer of Borrower Agent certifying that no
Default or Event of Default is continuing as of the delivery of such notice or the effective date
of the requested increase in the Revolver Commitment and (ii) the payment by Borrowers of all fees
and expenses in connection with the increase in the Revolver Commitments (including the applicable
fees set forth in the Fee Letter). Any such increase will increase each Lender’s Revolver
Commitment on a Pro Rata basis and Agent is hereby authorized to unilaterally amend Schedule
1.1 to reflect each such increase without the further consent of Borrowers or any Lender.

(b) The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner
terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent
at any time after the first Loan Year, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver
Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be
irrevocable. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

2.1.5. Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base
(“Overadvance”) or the aggregate Revolver Commitments at any time, the excess amount shall be
payable by Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless
constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan
Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent may require
Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an
Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance
does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five
consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the
Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of
whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to
exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than
an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate Revolver Commitments, and (ii) does not continue for more
than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the
outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any
funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by
Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other
Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6. Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, reasonably
exercised, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, and without
regard to the aggregate Commitments, to make Base Rate Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a)
up to an aggregate an amount outstanding at any time equal to 10% of the aggregate Revolver
Commitments, if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or
to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts
chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. Each Lender
shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time
revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances by written notice to Agent. Absent
such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be
conclusive.

2.2. Intentionally Omitted.

2.3. Letter of Credit Facility.

2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit
from time to time until 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment
Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit
is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter
of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require
for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no
obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC
Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC
Condition is satisfied. If Issuing Bank receives written notice from a Lender at least five
Business Days before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied,
Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other) until
such notice is withdrawn in writing by that Lender or until Required Lenders have waived such
condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower only (i) to support obligations of such
Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (ii) for other purposes as Agent and
Lenders may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC
Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by
the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Bank
or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition,
packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any
differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery
of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place,
manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure
to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions,
delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or
delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions,
interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph,
telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, including
any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the
Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and
remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any
Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any
Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully
protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form
reasonably believed by Issuing Bank to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made
by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other
experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act
upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in reliance upon, any advice given by such
experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter
relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or
misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2. Reimbursement; Participations.

(a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit on any day
(“Reimbursement Date”), Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day if notified Borrower
Agent is notified thereof by 12:00 noon (Pacific time) on such date, or on the following Business
Day if notified thereof after 12:00 noon (Pacific time), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such
Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the
Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing
Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable,
and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability
of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that
Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a
Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver
Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each
Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have
terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are
satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata
interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank
makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the
Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one
Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro
Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any
Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in
connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever,
and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any
lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other
document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any
Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in
performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC
Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation
or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any
LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of
any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial
condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action
taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual
gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if
Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives
written instructions from Required Lenders.

2.3.3. Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable,
shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that
Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20
Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or
Agent’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay
to Issuing Bank the amount of all other LC Obligations. If Borrowers fail to provide Cash
Collateral as required herein, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Revolver
Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated,
an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	SECTION 3.INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

	3.1.

	 	Interest.
	 	

	
 
	 	 	 	 	 	

	
 
	 	 	3.1.1.	 	 	Rates and Payment of Interest.
	
 
	 	 	 	 	 	 

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect
from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable
Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the
extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time,
plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolver Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the
Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers. If a Loan is
repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of
Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest
at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that the
cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and
that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for such
additional costs and expenses.

(c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of
each month and, for any LIBOR Loan, the last day of its Interest Period; (ii) on any date of
prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the
Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as
provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable
on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be
due and payable on demand.

3.1.2. Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any
LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of
Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be
made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower Agent
shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at
least three Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after
receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of
Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted
or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration
of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the
expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to
deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such
Loans into Base Rate Loans.

3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of
any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which
interest period shall be 30, 60, or 90 days; provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or
converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar
month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the
calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such
month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any
Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the
next Business Day; and

(c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolver Termination Date.

3.1.4. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If Agent shall determine that on any date for
determining LIBOR, due to any circumstance affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair
means do not exist for ascertaining such rate on the basis provided herein, then Agent shall
immediately notify Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrowers that such
circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended,
and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans.

3.2. Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the fees described in the Fee Letter.

3.3. Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees
and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed,
based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate
hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees
shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees
payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be
deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A
certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Sections 3.4, 3.6,
3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrower Agent by Agent or the affected
Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following
receipt of the certificate.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary
Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in
connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or
other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan
Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain
priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to
verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection,
audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel
or a third party. All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by
Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee
billing arrangements that Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such
professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. If, for any reason (including
inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is reasonably
determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually
applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively upon Agent’s concurrent notice to
Borrower (unless such notice could reasonably be expected to violate the automatic stay or the
functional equivalent in any Insolvency Proceeding, in which case no such notice shall be required)
and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, an amount equal
to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper
margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be
due on demand.

3.5. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge
interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on
the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Agent, any obligation of such Lender to
make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until
such Lender notifies Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR
Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6. Inability to Determine Rates. If Required Lenders notify Agent for any reason in
connection with a request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan
that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for determining LIBOR for the requested Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR for the requested
Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Loan, then Agent will promptly so notify Borrower Agent and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon
instruction by Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower Agent
may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan
or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	3.7.	 	Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.
	 	 	 
	
 
	 	 	3.7.1.	 	 	Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:
	
 
	 	 	 	 	 	 

(a) impose modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or
Issuing Bank;

(b) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Loan Document,
Letter of Credit or participation in LC Obligations, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered
by Section 5.9 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax
payable by such Lender or Issuing Bank); or

(c) impose on any Lender or Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or participation in LC
Obligations;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to
such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank,
Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.

3.7.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in
Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a
consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of
Credit or participations in LC Obligations, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank
or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s and holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then
from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

3.7.3. Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to
demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand
such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank for
any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that the
Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8. Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests
compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts with
respect to a Lender under Section 5.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to
designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable in the future, as
applicable; and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any
Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date
specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not
withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of
its Interest Period, or (c) Borrowers fail to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, then
Borrowers shall pay Agent’s reasonable and customary administrative charge and to each Lender all
losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including loss of anticipated
profits and any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees
payable to terminate deposits of matching funds. Lenders shall not be required to purchase Dollar
deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan,
but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to
fund its LIBOR Loans.

3.10. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal,
refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by
Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than
interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans. 4.1.1. Notice of
Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall
give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m.
(Pacific time) (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate
Loans, and (ii) at least three Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of
LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of
the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the
Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the
duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations
(whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC
Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate
Revolver Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolver
Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at
its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a
Borrower maintained with Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If Borrowers establish a controlled disbursement account with Agent or any Affiliate of
Agent, then the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on such
account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for
Base Rate Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the check and items
presented for payment. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the
controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by
funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested
hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify
Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon (Pacific
time) on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. (Pacific time) at least two
Business Days before any proposed funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such
Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available
funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice
is received after the times provided above, in which event Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by
11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from
Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Borrower Agent.
Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it
does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has
deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding
amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not in fact received by Agent, then
Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with
interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.

4.1.3. Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a) Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers, up to an
aggregate outstanding amount of $2,500,000, unless the funding is specifically required to be made
by all Lenders hereunder. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes,
except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of
Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be
evidenced by any promissory note.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, Lenders and Agent agree (which
agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that
settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place
periodically on a date determined from time to time by Agent, which shall occur at least once each
week. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the
Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its
discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by
Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements
with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and
whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in
Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or
otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders hereunder, then each Lender shall be
deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and
shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within
one Business Day after Agent’s request therefor.

4.1.4. Notices. Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or
continue Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of
Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions. Borrowers shall confirm each such request
by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if
applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent or Lenders,
the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any
liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its
understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person reasonably believed by Agent or
any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.

4.2. Defaulting Lender. If a Lender fails to make any payment to Agent that is
required hereunder, Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain payments
that would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder, apply the payments to such
Lender’s defaulted obligations or re-advance the funds to Borrowers in accordance with this
Agreement. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan or to make a payment in respect of a LC
Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, and no Lender shall be
responsible for default by another Lender. Lenders and Agent agree (which agreement is solely
among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that, solely for purposes of
determining a defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents and to
share in payments, fees and Collateral proceeds thereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed
to be a “Lender” until all its defaulted obligations have been cured.

4.3. Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of
administration, all LIBOR Revolver Loans having the same length and beginning date of their
Interest Periods shall be aggregated together, and such Borrowings shall be allocated among Lenders
on a Pro Rata basis. No more than 5 Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and
each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment
of $100,000 in excess thereof. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by
Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if
requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates Hypercom U.S.A., Inc. as its
representative and agent (“Borrower Agent”) for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including
requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of
communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and
payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the
Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with
Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and
Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or
communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any
Borrower. Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of Agent,
Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower
Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice,
election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower
Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5. One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute
one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document)
shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender
shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to
the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the
Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its
and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, only with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management
Services). All undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any
termination, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies
under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of
the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with
respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items
applied to Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any
Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent
and Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its discretion, deems
necessary to protect against any such damages. The provisions of Sections 2.3,
3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 12,
14.2 and this Section 4.6, and the obligation of each Obligor and Lender with
respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the
Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars
and subject to Section 5.9.3 only, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind,
free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than
12:00 noon (Pacific time) on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the
next Business Day. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day
other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such
extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of a
LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under
Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to
LIBOR Loans; provided, however, that as long as no Event of Default exists, prepayments of LIBOR
Loans may, at the option of Borrowers and Agent, be held by Agent as Cash Collateral and applied to
such Loans at the end of their Interest Periods.

5.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on
the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be
prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. If any Asset Disposition includes the
disposition of Accounts or Inventory, then Net Proceeds equal to the greater of (a) the net book
value of such Accounts and Inventory, or (b) the reduction in the Borrowing Base upon giving effect
to such disposition, shall be applied to the Revolver Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the
first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans
in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolver Loans to the Borrowing Base.

5.3. Mandatory Prepayments. Immediately upon the receipt by Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable
expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts. Immediately upon the issuance or
incurrence by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than as permitted
hereunder, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in an amount
equal to 100% of the cash proceeds received in connection with such issuance or incurrence. The
provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance or
incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.4. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC
Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan
Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any
payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, or Agent,
Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such
setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, Issuing Bank or
such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the
extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights
and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

5.6. Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

5.6.1. Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event
of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors,
realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

	 	(a)	 	FIRST, to all costs and expenses, including
Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;

	 	(b)	 	SECOND, to all amounts owing to Agent on
Swingline Loans;

	 	(c)	 	THIRD, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank on
LC Obligations and all Bank Product Debt;

	 	(d)	 	FOURTH, to all Obligations constituting fees
(excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);

	 	(e)	 	FIFTH, to all Obligations constituting interest
(excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);

	 	(f)	 	SIXTH, to provide Cash Collateral for
outstanding Letters of Credit; and

	 	(g)	 	SEVENTH, to all other Obligations.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof
and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be
applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in
this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among
themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Obligor. This
Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower.

5.6.2. Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of
amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have
been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should
have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if
such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6.3. Conversion of Currencies. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.6.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any payments in respect of the Obligations or
proceeds of any Collateral are received by Agent or any Lender in any currency other than Dollars
(a “Foreign Currency”) Agent shall convert such sums from such Foreign Currency into Dollars at a
rate of exchange at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, Agent could purchase
Dollars with such Foreign Currency on the Business Day preceding such conversion. The obligation
of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or Lenders hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any payment in a Foreign Currency, be discharged only
to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent of any sums in a Foreign
Currency, Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such Foreign
Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent and
Lenders from any Borrower in Dollars, Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify Agent and Lenders against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so
purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency Agent and
Lenders agree to return the amount of any excess to Borrowers (or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction). Nothing herein shall be deemed to be Agent’s consent to receipt of
payments in respect of the Obligations in any currency other than Dollars.

5.7. Application of Payments. During each Trigger Period, the ledger balance in the
main Dominion Account as of the end of each Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations. If,
as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in
favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Default or Event of
Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any
payments or Collateral proceeds during each Trigger Period, and agrees that Agent shall have the
continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as
Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent in its records.

5.8. Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.8.1. Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary
practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from
each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record
anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan
Account in the name of Borrower Agent, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have
no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.

5.8.2. Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive
evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is
provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on
such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent
in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to
dispute.

5.9. Taxes.

5.9.1. Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by any Obligor on account of any
Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if an Obligor shall be required by Applicable Law
to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made; (b) the Obligor shall make such deductions; and (c) Borrowers shall timely
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable
Law. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authorities.

5.9.2. Payment. Borrowers shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Agent, Lenders
and Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand (including documentation with respect to the amounts
demanded) therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under
this Section) paid by Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to any Obligations, Letters of
Credit or Loan Documents, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto (except for such penalties, interest, and expenses to the extent determined by
a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Agent, any Lender, or Issuing Bank), whether or not such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the calculation and amount of such payment or
liability delivered to Borrower Agent by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent), or by
Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Borrower, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent a receipt
issued by the Governmental Authority evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment
reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

5.9.3. Refunds. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 5.9, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid by Borrowers under this Section 5.9 with respect
to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) to such Borrower, net of all
out-of-pocket expense of such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided that such Borrower, upon the request of Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees
promptly to return such refund, plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed on such party
by the relevant Governmental Authority, to such party in the event such party is required to repay
such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to
require any Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person.

5.10. Foreign Lenders.

5.10.1. Exemption. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which an Obligor is resident for
tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under
any Loan Document shall deliver to Agent and Borrower Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Agent or
Borrower Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably
requested by Agent or Borrower Agent as will enable Agent and Borrower Agent to determine whether
or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

5.10.2. Documentation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a
Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, a Foreign Lender shall deliver to Agent
and Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to
the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter
upon the request of Agent or Borrower Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to
do so), (a) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (b) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (c)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under
section 881(c) of the Code, (i) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a
“bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of
any Obligor within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) duly completed copies of IRS
Form W-8BEN; or (d) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrowers to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made.

5.11. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

5.11.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and
severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt
payment and performance of, all and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees
that its guaranty Obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of
collection, that such Obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of all Obligations,
and that such Obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and will not be
discharged, impaired, or affected by: (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability,
subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any
other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound,
or the power or authority or lack thereof of any other Obligor to incur its Obligations; (b) the
absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 5.11) or any other
Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect
thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve
rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any
action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or
guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) the payment in full of all of the Obligations at
any time or from time to time, except Full Payment of all Obligations; (f) the existence or
non-existence of any Obligor as a legal entity; (g) any transfer by any Obligor of all or any part
of any Collateral; (h) any statute of limitations affecting the liability of any other Obligor
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or the ability of Agent or Lenders to enforce
this Agreement, this Section 5.11, or any other provision of any Loan Document; (i) any
right of offset, counterclaim or defense of any Obligor, including, without limitation, those that
have been waived by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 5.11; (j) any election by Agent
or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code; (k) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Obligor, as debtor-in-possession
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (l) the disallowance of any claims of Agent
or any Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (m) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment
of all Obligations.

5.11.2. Permitted Actions. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement,
Agent and Lenders may from time to time, in their sole discretion and without notice to any
Obligor, take any or all of the following actions: (a) retain or obtain a Liens in any assets of
any Obligor or any other Person to secure any of the Obligations; (b) retain or obtain the primary
or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the Obligors, with respect to
any of the Obligations; (c) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the
original period), or, with the agreement of the Borrowers, alter or exchange any of the
Obligations; (d) waive, ignore, or forbear from taking action or otherwise exercising any of its
default rights or remedies with respect to any default by the Obligors under the Loan Documents;
(e) release, waive, or compromise any obligation of the Obligors hereunder or any obligation of any
nature of any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated with respect to any of the
Obligations; (f) release Agent’s Liens in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or
exchange for, all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter securing any of the Obligations or
any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than
the original period) or release, waive, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature
of any Obligor with respect to any such property; and (g) demand payment or performance of any of
the Obligations from any Obligor at any time or from time to time, whether or not Agent or any
Lender has exercised any of its rights or remedies with respect to any property securing any of the
Obligations or any obligation hereunder or proceeded against any other Obligor or other Person
primarily or secondarily liable for payment or performance of any of the Obligations.

5.11.3. Waivers. 

(a) Each Obligor expressly waives, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, and except
to the extent otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement: (i) all rights to revoke
its guaranty pursuant to this Section 5.11 at any time; (ii) notice of the acceptance by
Agent and Lenders; (iii) notice of the existence, creation, payment, nonpayment, performance or
nonperformance of all or any of the Obligations; (iv) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor,
protest, notice of protest and all other notices whatsoever with respect to the payment or
performance of the Obligations or the amount thereof or any payment or performance by the Obligors
hereunder; (v) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or
any thereof, any obligation hereunder or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing; (vi)
any right to direct or affect the manner or timing of Agent’s enforcement of its rights or
remedies; (vii) any and all defenses that would otherwise arise upon the occurrence of any event or
contingency described in Section 5.11.1 or 5.11.2 hereof or upon the taking of any
action by Agent or Lenders permitted hereunder; (viii) any defense, right of set-off, claim or
counterclaim whatsoever and any and all other rights, benefits, protections and other defenses
available to such Obligor now or at any time hereafter, including under California Civil Code
Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d
or 726, and all successor sections, whether or not constituting Applicable Law; and (ix) all other
principles or provisions of law, if any, that conflict with the terms of this Section 5.11,
including the effect of any circumstances that may or might constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of a guarantor or surety.

(b) Each Obligor expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any
statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to
proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any
Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Obligor.

(c) Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies hereunder,
under the other Loan Documents and under Applicable Law as they deem appropriate, including
realization upon Collateral or, if applicable, any Real Estate by judicial foreclosure or non
judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section
5.11. If, in the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender forfeits any of its
rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Obligor or any
other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or
otherwise, each Obligor consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based
upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any
Obligor might otherwise have had but for such action.

(d) If Agent bids at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, Agent may bid
all or a portion of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall
be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether
Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair
market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining
balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations
guaranteed under this Section 5.11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court
decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any
Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(e) Each Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the
Agent and the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure
with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Obligor’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

(f) Any reference to California code sections shall be deemed to include any equivalent code
provisions under New York law. Without limiting the applicability of the equivalent code provisions
under New York law, the foregoing references to the California Code of Civil Procedure and the
California Civil Code shall apply if, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.13, the
laws of the State of California are applied to the Loan Documents; provided, that the inclusion of
such provisions does not affect or limit in any way the parties’ choice of New York law.

5.11.4. Extent of Liability; Contribution. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this
Section 5.11 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is
primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.11 of any Obligations (other
than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into
account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds
the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate
Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s
Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be
entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each
other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable
Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any
Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this
Section 5.11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or
common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall limit the liability of any Borrower
to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other
Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC
Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all
accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such
Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent and Lenders shall have the
right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate
calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of
such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.

5.11.5. Joint Enterprise. Each Obligor has requested that Agent and Lenders make this
credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business
most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ and Obligors’ business is a mutual and collective
enterprise, and Borrowers and Obligors believe that consolidation of Borrowers’ credit facility
will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship
with Agent and Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers and Obligors. Borrowers and
Obligors acknowledge and agree that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers
and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an
accommodation to Borrowers and Obligors and at Obligors’ request.

5.11.6. Subordination. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably subordinates any claims,
including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor,
howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

6.1. Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans. In addition to the conditions set forth

each jurisdiction where such Obligor’s conduct of business or ownership of Property necessitates
qualification.

(i) Agent shall have received copies of policies or certificates of insurance for the
insurance policies carried by Borrowers, all in compliance with the Loan Documents.

(j) Agent shall have completed its business, financial and legal due diligence of Obligors,
including a roll-forward of its previous field examination, with results satisfactory to Agent. No
material adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or in the quality, quantity or
value of any Collateral shall have occurred since September 30, 2007.

(k) No action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding pending or threatened in any
court or before any arbitrator or governmental instrumentality that in Agent’s judgment could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l) Agent shall have received all documentation and other information that Agent requires in
order to comply with its obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money

(p) Each of the other documents set forth on the “Closing Checklist” prepared by Agent’s
counsel and made available to Borrowers has been duly-executed and delivered, and all other items

the satisfaction of Agent.

6.2. Conditions Precedent to All Credit Extensions. Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders
shall not be required to fund any Loans, arrange for issuance of any Letters of Credit or grant any
other accommodation to or for the benefit of Borrowers, including the initial funding, unless the
following conditions are satisfied:

(a) No Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of, or result from, such funding,
issuance or grant;

(b) The representations and warranties of each Obligor in the Loan Documents shall be true and
correct in all material respects (without giving effect to any materiality qualifiers contained
therein) on the date of, and upon giving effect to, such funding, issuance or grant (except for
representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date);

(c) All conditions precedent in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied;

(d) No event shall have occurred or circumstance exist that has or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(e) With respect to issuance of a Letter of Credit, the LC Conditions shall be satisfied; and

(f) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Agent in its sole discretion, each of the actions
required to have been taken by the Post Closing Agreement shall have been duly completed (whether
or not the due date for such completion has passed).

Each request (or deemed request) by Borrowers for funding of a Loan, issuance of a Letter of Credit
or grant of an accommodation shall constitute a representation by Borrowers that the foregoing
conditions are satisfied on the date of such request and on the date of such funding, issuance or
grant. As an additional condition to any funding, issuance or grant, Agent shall have received
such other information, documents, instruments and agreements as it reasonably deems appropriate in
connection therewith.

6.3. Limited Waiver of Conditions Precedent. If Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders fund
any Loans, arrange for issuance of any Letters of Credit or grant any other accommodation when any
conditions precedent are not satisfied (regardless of whether the lack of satisfaction was known or
unknown at the time), it shall not operate as a waiver of (a) the right of Agent, Issuing Bank and
Lenders to insist upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent with respect to any subsequent
funding, issuance or grant; nor (b) any Default or Event of Default due to such failure of
conditions or otherwise.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

7.1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all
Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing
security interest in and Lien upon all personal Property of such Borrower, including all of the
following Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located:

(a) all Accounts;

(b) all Chattel Paper, including electronic chattel paper;

(c) all Commercial Tort Claims;

(d) all Deposit Accounts;

(e) all Documents;

(f) all Intellectual Property (to the extent related to the manufacture, distribution or
packaging of Inventory or the collection of Accounts) and all other General Intangibles;

(g) all Instruments;

(h) all Inventory;

(i) all Investment Property;

(j) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(k) all Supporting Obligations;

(l) all cash and other monies, whether or not in the possession or under the control of Agent,
a Lender, or a bailee or Affiliate of Agent or a Lender, including any Cash Collateral;

(m) all accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and
non-cash proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to
insurance policies, and claims against any Person for loss, damage or destruction of any
Collateral; and

(n) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer
programs, print-outs and computer records) pertaining to the foregoing;

provided, however that the Collateral shall not include, and Borrowers shall not be deemed to have
granted a security interest in any lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement to which
any Borrower is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the
extent and for so long as, the grant of a security interest or lien in such Property would
constitute or result in (1) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of the right, title
or interest of such Borrower therein or the Property subject thereto or (2) a breach or termination
pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such lease, license, contract, property rights or
agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to
9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC or other applicable law); provided, further that
immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse, or termination of any such restriction, the Collateral
shall include, and such Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all such
rights and interests as if such provision had never been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Collateral shall include all Accounts arising under any such licenses, contracts, or
agreements, or intent to use applications, and all rights incident or appurtenant to any such
rights or interests, and the right to receive all proceeds derived from or in connection with the
sale, assignment, or transfer thereof.

7.2. Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.

7.2.1. Deposit Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all
Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, and will cause to Hypercom U.K. to grant, for
the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts
credited to any Deposit Account of such Borrower, including any sums in any blocked or lockbox
accounts or in any accounts into which such sums are swept. Each Borrower authorizes and directs
each bank or other depository to deliver to Agent, on a daily basis during each Trigger Period, all
balances in each Deposit Account maintained by such Borrower with such depository for application
to the Obligations then outstanding. Each Borrower irrevocably appoints Agent as such Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact to collect such balances to the extent any such delivery is not so made. The
obligations of Hypercom U.K. with respect to cash management and cash collateral and the proceeds
(including insurance proceeds) of Collateral shall be set forth in one or more separate agreements
between Hypercom U.K. and Agent.

7.2.2. Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested, at Agent’s discretion,
in Cash Equivalents, but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course
of dealing with any Borrower, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each
Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in all
Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations,
whether such Cash Collateral is held in a Cash Collateral Account or elsewhere. Agent may apply
Cash Collateral to the payment of any Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect, as they become
due and payable. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole
dominion and control of Agent. No Borrower or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any
Borrower shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Obligations.

7.3. Intentionally Omitted.

7.4. Other Collateral.

7.4.1. Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing if
any Borrower has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Default or Event of Default
exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $500,000) and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly
take such actions as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to confer upon Agent (for the benefit of
Secured Parties) a duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such claim.

7.4.2. Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in
writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting
of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment
Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly take such actions as
Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral,
including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any
Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, Borrowers shall use
appropriate efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the
benefit of Agent.

7.5. No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as
security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or
liability of Borrowers relating to any Collateral.

7.6. Further Assurances. Promptly upon Agent’s request, Borrowers shall deliver such
instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such
actions, as Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any
Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Borrower authorizes
Agent to file any financing statement that indicates the Collateral of such Borrower, or words to
similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect
its Lien on any Collateral.

7.7. Foreign Subsidiary Stock. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, the Collateral
shall not include any stock of any Foreign Subsidiary.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1. Borrowing Base Certificates. By the 15th day of each month, Borrowers shall
deliver to Agent (and Agent shall promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate
prepared as of the close of business of the previous month, and at such other times as Agent may
request. All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be
made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer; provided that Agent may, in its discretion,
reasonably exercised, from time to time review and adjust any such calculation (a) to reflect its
reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received in the
Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality,
mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in
accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve or to
otherwise reflect changes in the Availability Reserve.

8.2. Administration of Accounts.

8.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep records of its
Accounts that are accurate and complete in all material respects, including all payments and
collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports
in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request. Each
Borrower shall also provide to Agent, on or before the 15th day of each month, a detailed aged
trial balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month, specifying each Account’s
Account Debtor name and address, amount, invoice date and due date. Promptly upon request of
Agent, Borrowers shall provide Agent with supporting documentation showing any discount, allowance,
credit, authorized return or dispute, and including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and
invoice registers, copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other
information as Agent may reasonably request. If Accounts reported on the most recently delivered
Borrowing Base Certificate as Eligible Accounts in an aggregate face amount of equal to or greater
than 10% of the Borrowing Base cease to be Eligible Accounts, Borrowers shall notify Agent of such
occurrence promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) after any Senior Officer of Borrower
has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is
authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the
account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Agent
nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any
Collateral.

8.2.3. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists,
Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any
Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers
by mail, telephone or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to
facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process. Agent shall use reasonable efforts
to provide Borrower Agent with confirmation that it has conducted a verification of Accounts,
together with a list of Account Debtors contacted during such verification, but Agent shall not
have any liability to any Obligor or any other Person for the failure to provide such information.

8.2.4. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Borrowers and Hypercom U.K. shall maintain
Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Agent.
Borrowers and Hypercom U.K. shall each obtain an agreement (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank with respect to each
Borrower and Hypercom U.K., establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion
Account, which, in the case of any Borrower, may be exercised by Agent at any time during each
Trigger Period, and in the case of Hypercom U.K. will be exercised immediately, requiring immediate
deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights
of such servicer or bank against any funds in the lockbox or Dominion Account, except offset rights
for customary administrative charges. During each Trigger Period, all funds deposited into the
Dominion Account of Hypercom U.K. from time to time will be applied periodically to the
Obligations; at all other times, Hypercom U.K. may withdraw amounts from its Dominion Account in
accordance with the depositary agreements covering such deposit account. All Dominion Accounts
shall be maintained with Bank of America. Neither Agent nor Lenders assume any responsibility to
Borrowers or Hypercom U.K. for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of
accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5. Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take
all appropriate steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral
are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any
Borrower or Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold
same in trust for Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a
Dominion Account.

8.3. Administration of Inventory.

8.3.1. Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep records of its
Inventory that are accurate and complete in all material respects, including costs and daily
withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent inventory and reconciliation reports in form
reasonably satisfactory to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request. Each Borrower shall
conduct periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices, and, upon request of Agent at
any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, physical Inventory counts, and shall
provide to Agent a report based on each such inventory count promptly upon completion thereof,
together with such supporting information as Agent may reasonably request. Agent may participate
in and observe each physical or periodic cycle count.

8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any Inventory to a supplier,
vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the
Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result
therefrom; (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any
month exceeds $1,000,000; and (d) any payment received by a Borrower for a return is promptly
remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations.

8.3.3. Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any
Inventory on consignment or approval, and shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is
produced in accordance with Applicable Law, including the FLSA, in all material respects. No
Borrower shall sell any Eligible Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis under
which the customer may return or require a Borrower to repurchase such Inventory. If any Borrower
sells any Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis under which the customer may
return or require a Borrower to repurchase such Inventory (which inventory will not be Eligible
Inventory), Borrowers shall provide Agent evidence that Borrowers have complied with all
requirements of Applicable Law (including the UCC) to perfect their consignment interest in such
consigned Inventory and to assign its rights therein to Agent as Collateral. Borrowers shall use,
store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable
standards of any insurance and in conformity with all Applicable Law in all material respects, and
shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases) at all
locations where any Collateral is located.

8.4. Administration of Equipment 

8.4.1. Records and Schedules of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep records of its
Equipment that are accurate and complete in all material respects, including kind, quality,
quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to Agent, on such periodic
basis as Agent may request, a current schedule thereof, in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
Promptly upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent evidence of their ownership or interests in
any Equipment.

8.4.2. Dispositions of Equipment. No Borrower shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of any Equipment, without the prior written consent of Agent, other than (a) a Permitted Asset
Disposition; and (b) replacement of Equipment that is worn, damaged or obsolete with Equipment of
like function and value, if the replacement Equipment is acquired substantially contemporaneously
with such disposition and is free of Liens.

8.4.3. Condition of Equipment. Borrowers represent that their Equipment is in good
operating condition and repair, and all necessary replacements and repairs have been made so that
the marketability and operating efficiency of the Equipment is preserved at all times, reasonable
wear and tear excepted. Each Borrower shall ensure that the Equipment is mechanically and
structurally sound, and capable of performing the functions for which it was designed, in
accordance with manufacturer specifications.

8.5. Administration of Deposit Accounts. As of the Closing Date Schedule 8.5
sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Borrowers or Hypercom U.K., including all Dominion
Accounts. Each Borrower shall take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each such
Deposit Account (other than an account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee
benefits, or an account containing not more that $50,000 at any time per account or $100,000 for
all such accounts). Each Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and
shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any
Property deposited therein. Each Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of
a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amend Schedule 8.5 to reflect same.

8.6. General Provisions. 

8.6.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory
in transit, shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at the business locations set forth in
Schedule 8.6.1, except that Borrowers may (a) make sales or other dispositions of
Collateral in accordance with Section 10.2.6; and (b) move Collateral to another location
in the United States, upon 30 days prior written notice to Agent.

8.6.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a) Each Borrower and Hypercom U.K. shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral,
covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks,
(including without limitation, business interruption) in amounts, with endorsements and with
insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A7, unless otherwise approved by Agent) reasonably
satisfactory to Agent. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Agent. From time to
time upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of its
insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each
policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as sole loss payee or additional
insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of
cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of
Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of
the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted
by the policy. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its
option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor. Each
Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance
companies. While no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any
insurance claim, as long as the proceeds thereof (if such proceeds constitute proceeds of insurance
covering any Collateral or business interruption insurance) are delivered to Agent. If an Event of
Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b) Any proceeds of insurance on Collateral and all business interruption insurance (but in
any event excluding proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising
from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent in accordance with Section 5.3.
Any such proceeds or awards shall be applied to payment of the Revolver Loans, and then to any
other Obligations outstanding.

8.6.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing,
insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any
Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any
Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Agent shall not be
liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage
thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s actual
possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any
warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at
Borrowers’ sole risk.

8.6.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower shall at all times take all
appropriate actions to defend its title to Collateral and Agent’s Liens therein against all
Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.7. Power of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and
agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without
notice and in either its or a Borrower’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:

(a) Endorse a Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including
proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and

(b) During the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the
assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts, by legal proceedings or
otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle,
adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any legal
proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any Accounts and other
Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) take
control, in any manner, of any proceeds of Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign a Borrower’s name
to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of an Account Debtor, or to any notice,
assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail
addressed to a Borrower, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof
to such address as Agent may designate; (vii) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument,
invoice, freight bill, bill of lading, or similar document or agreement relating to any Accounts,
Inventory or other Collateral; (viii) use a Borrower’s stationery and sign its name to
verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (ix) use the information recorded on or
contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any
Collateral; (x) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xi) take any action as may be
reasonably necessary in Agent’s determination or appropriate to obtain payment under any letter of
credit or banker’s acceptance for which a Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other
actions as Agent deems reasonably appropriate to fulfill any Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit, each
Borrower represents and warrants that:

9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Obligor is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each
Borrower is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and
perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a) require any
consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests of any Obligor, other than those already
obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of any Obligor; (c) violate any Applicable Law in
any material respect or cause a default under any Material Contract; or (d) result in or require
the imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Property of any Obligor.

9.1.3. Enforceability. Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally.

9.1.4. Capital Structure. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, for each Obligor and
Subsidiary, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and issued Equity Interests,
the holders of its Equity Interests, and all agreements binding on such holders with respect to
their Equity Interests. Each Obligor has good title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries,
in each case subject only to Agent’s Lien, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding options to purchase, warrants, subscription
rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney
relating to any Equity Interests of any Obligor or Subsidiary.

9.1.5. Corporate Names; Locations. During the five years preceding the Closing Date,
except as shown on Schedule 9.1.5, no Obligor has been known as or used any corporate,
fictitious or trade names, has been the surviving corporation of a merger or combination, or has
acquired any substantial part of the assets of any Person. The chief executive offices and other
places of business of Obligors are shown on Schedule 8.6.1. During the five years
preceding the Closing Date, no Obligor has had any other office or place of business.

9.1.6. Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has good
and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to
all of its personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial statements
delivered to Agent or Lenders, in each case for the Obligors free of Liens except Permitted Liens.
Each Obligor has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its
Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly perfected,
first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens.

9.1.7. Accounts. Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts,
on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect thereto. Borrowers warrant,
with respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base
Certificate, that:

(a) is not an Ineligible Account;

(b) it is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and is not evidenced by a
judgment;

(c) it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of
services in the Ordinary Course of Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase
order, contract or other document relating thereto;

(d) it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale or rendition
of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Agent on request;

(e) it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other than Agent’s Lien), deduction, defense,
dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of
Business and disclosed to Agent; and it is absolutely owing by the Account Debtor, without
contingency in any respect;

(f) no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law validly restricts assignment of
the Account to Agent (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the restriction is ineffective), and
the applicable Borrower is the sole payee or remittance party shown on the invoice;

(g) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been
authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary
Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto
and in the reports submitted to Agent hereunder; and

(h) to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that are
reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectibility of such Account; (ii) the Account
Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account arose, continues to meet the applicable
Borrower’s customary credit standards, is Solvent, is not contemplating or subject to an Insolvency
Proceeding, and has not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no
proceedings or actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor’s financial condition.

9.1.8. Financial Statements. The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, and
related statements of income, cash flow and shareholder’s equity, of Parent (including Borrowers
and Subsidiaries) that have been and are hereafter delivered to Agent and Lenders, are prepared in
accordance with GAAP (other than the financial statements of the Subsidiaries of Thales SA to be
acquired by Parent pursuant to the Thales Transaction prior to the conversion of such financial
statements by Parent to GAAP), and fairly present in all material respects the financial positions
and results of operations of Parent, Borrowers and Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods
indicated (subject to, in the case of unaudited financial statements, the absence of footnotes and
normal year end adjustments). All projections delivered from time to time to Agent and Lenders
have been prepared in good faith, based on reasonable assumptions in light of the circumstances at
such time. Since September 30, 2007, there has been no change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, of Parent, any Borrower or any Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No financial statement delivered to Agent or Lenders at any time contains
any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make
such statement not materially misleading. Each of Parent, each Borrower and each Subsidiary is
Solvent on a consolidated basis.

9.1.9. Surety Obligations. No Obligor or Subsidiary is obligated as surety or
indemnitor under any bond or other contract that assures payment or performance of any obligation
of any Person, except as permitted hereunder.

9.1.10. Taxes. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has filed all federal, state and material
local tax returns and other federal, state, and material local reports that it is required by law
to file, and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all federal, state, and material local
Taxes upon it, its income and its Properties that are due and payable, except to the extent being
Properly Contested. The provision for Taxes on the books of each Obligor and Subsidiary is
adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.

9.1.11. Brokers. There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or investment
banking fees payable in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

9.1.12. Intellectual Property. Each Obligor owns or has the lawful right to use all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business except as could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, without conflict with any rights of others. There is
no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property Claim with respect to
any Obligor or any Property of any Obligor (including any Intellectual Property). As of the date
hereof, except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.12, no Obligor pays or owes any Royalty or
other compensation to any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property. All Intellectual
Property owned, used or licensed by, or otherwise subject to any interests of, any Obligor or
Subsidiary is shown on Schedule 9.1.12 (as such Schedule will be updated from time to time
by Borrowers upon written request of Agent and upon delivery of each Fiscal Year-end Compliance
Certificate). Each Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of Royalties payable by any Obligor or any
additional material Intellectual Property acquired by any Obligor and, with the consent of Agent,
will amend Schedule 9.1.12 to reflect same.

9.1.13. Governmental Approvals. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has, is in compliance in
each material respects with, and is in good standing with respect to, all Governmental Approvals
necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and operate its Properties. All necessary
import, export or other licenses, permits or certificates for the import or handling of any goods
or other Collateral have been procured and are in effect, and Obligors and Subsidiaries have
complied with all foreign and domestic laws with respect to the shipment and importation of any
goods or Collateral, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

9.1.14. Compliance with Laws. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has duly complied, and its
Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all material respects with all Applicable
Law, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
There have been no citations, notices or orders of material noncompliance issued to any Obligor or
Subsidiary under any Applicable Law. No Inventory has been produced in violation of the FLSA in
any material respect.

9.1.15. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule
9.1.15, no Obligor’s or Subsidiary’s past (to the best of Borrower’s knowledge) or present
operations, Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state or local
investigation to determine whether any remedial action is needed to address any environmental
pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. No Obligor or Subsidiary has received any Environmental Notice. No
Obligor or Subsidiary has any material contingent liability with respect to any Environmental
Release, environmental pollution or hazardous material on any Real Estate now or previously owned,
leased or operated by it.

9.1.16. Burdensome Contracts. No Obligor or Subsidiary is a party or subject to any
contract, agreement or charter restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. No Obligor or Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive Agreement, except
as shown on Schedule 9.1.16, none of which prohibit the execution or delivery of any Loan
Documents by an Obligor nor the performance by an Obligor of any obligations thereunder.

9.1.17. Litigation. Except as shown on Schedule 9.1.17, there are no
proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against any
Obligor or Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions,
that (a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if determined adversely to any Obligor or Subsidiary.
Each Obligor or Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with respect to each order,
injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.

9.1.18. No Defaults. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes
a Default or Event of Default. No Obligor or Subsidiary is in default, and no event or
circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would
constitute a default, under any Material Contract or in the payment of any Borrowed Money or give
rise to the right of any party (other than an Obligor or Subsidiary) to terminate a Material
Contract prior to its scheduled termination date (or upon stated notice periods for terminations at
will not arising from a default).

9.1.19. ERISA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.19:

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code, and other federal and state laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under
Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to
the knowledge of Borrowers, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such
qualification. Each Obligor and ERISA Affiliate has made all required contributions to each Plan
subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

(b) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or
lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or
violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted in or
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) (i) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan
has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably
expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other
than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) no Obligor or ERISA
Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred
which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under
Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) no Obligor or ERISA
Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(d) With respect to any Foreign Plan, (i) all employer and employee contributions required by
law or by the terms of the Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance
with normal accounting practices; (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign
Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance, or the book
reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to
procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former
participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most
recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted
accounting principles; and (iii) it has been registered as required and has been maintained in good
standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

9.1.20. Trade Relations. There exists no actual or, to Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened termination, limitation or modification of any business relationship between any Obligor
and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, who individually or in the
aggregate are material to the business of such Obligor. There exists no condition or circumstance
that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of any Obligor to conduct its business at
any time hereafter in substantially the same manner as conducted on the Closing Date.

9.1.21. Labor Relations. Except as described on Schedule 9.1.21, no Obligor
is party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, management agreement or consulting
agreement. There are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union or other
organization of any Obligor’s employees, or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, any asserted or
threatened strikes, work stoppages or demands for collective bargaining in each case that could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.22. Payable Practices. No Obligor has made any material change in its historical
accounts payable practices from those in effect on the Closing Date.

Stock or for any related purpose governed by Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which such statements were made.
There is no fact or circumstance that any Obligor has failed to disclose to Agent in writing that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 10. COVENANTS AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS

10.1. Affirmative Covenants. As long as any Commitments or Obligations are
outstanding, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Obligor to:

10.1.1. Inspections; Appraisals.

(a) Permit Agent from time to time, subject (except when a Default or Event of Default exists)
to reasonable notice and normal business hours, to visit and inspect the Properties of any Obligor
or Subsidiary, inspect, audit and make extracts from any Obligor’s or Subsidiary’s books and
records (except as prohibited by Applicable Law), and discuss with its officers, other employees
(with the consent of a Senior Officer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed and shall not be required during and Event of Default), agents, advisors and independent
accountants such Obligor’s or Subsidiary’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects and
results of operations. Lenders may participate in any such visit or inspection, at their own
expense. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to any Obligor to make any inspection,
nor to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report with any Obligor. Borrowers
acknowledge that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by Agent and Lenders for
their purposes, and Obligors shall not be entitled to rely upon them.

(b) Reimburse Agent for all charges, costs and reasonable and documented expenses of Agent in
connection with (i) examinations of any Obligor’s books and records or any other financial or
Collateral matters as Agent deems appropriate (up to three examinations per year unless a Trigger
Period was in effect during such year, and up to four examinations in any year during which a
Trigger Period was in effect); and (ii) periodic appraisals of Inventory, as applicable. Subject to
and without limiting the foregoing, at any time other than during the continuation of an Event of
Default, Borrowers specifically agree to pay Agent’s then standard charges for each day that an
employee of Agent or its Affiliates is engaged in any examination activities, and shall pay the
standard charges of Agent’s internal appraisal group. As of the Closing Date, the Agent’s standard
charges (which are subject to change at any time without notice to any Obligor) are $850 per day
per employee, plus out of pocket expenses within the United States, and £500 per day per employee,
plus out of pocket expenses within the U.K. During the continuation of an Event of Default,
Borrowers agree to pay all charges any examination activities, including the charges of Agent’s
internal appraisal group and any outside appraisers or examiners, all of which fees may be in
excess of the Agent’s then standard charges and in excess of the limitations on the number of
reimbursable examinations set forth above. This Section shall not be construed to limit Agent’s
right to conduct examinations or to obtain appraisals at any time in its discretion, nor to use
third parties for such purposes.

10.1.2. Financial and Other Information. Keep adequate records and books of account
with respect to its business activities, in which proper entries are made in accordance with GAAP
reflecting all financial transactions; and furnish to Agent and Lenders:

(a) as soon as available, and in any event within 90 days after the close of each Fiscal Year,
copies of the annual filings of Parent and its Subsidiaries required to be filed with the
Securities Exchange Commission, together with the balance sheets as of the end of such Fiscal Year
and the related statements of income, cash flow and shareholders’ equity for such Fiscal Year, on
consolidated and consolidating bases for Parent, Borrowers and Subsidiaries, which consolidated
statements shall be audited and certified (without qualification as to scope, “going concern” or
similar items) by a firm of independent certified public accountants of recognized standing
selected by Borrowers and acceptable to Agent, and shall set forth in comparative form
corresponding figures for the preceding Fiscal Year and other information reasonably acceptable to
Agent. Simultaneously with retaining accountants for their annual audit, Borrowers shall send a
letter to the accountants, with a copy to Agent, notifying the accountants that one of the primary
purposes for retaining their services and obtaining audited financial statements is for use by
Agent and Lenders. Agent is authorized to send such notice if Borrowers fail to do so for any
reason.

(b) as soon as available, and in any event within 45 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter, copies of the quarterly filings of Parent and its Subsidiaries required to be filed with
the Securities Exchange Commission, together with the unaudited balance sheets as of the end of
such quarter and the related statements of income and cash flow for such quarter and for the
portion of the Fiscal Year then elapsed, on consolidated and consolidating bases for Parent,
Borrowers and Subsidiaries, setting forth in comparative form corresponding figures for the
preceding Fiscal Year and certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower Agent as prepared in
accordance with GAAP and fairly presenting the financial position and results of operations for
such quarter, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes;

(c) concurrently with delivery of financial statements under clauses (a) and (b) above, or
more frequently if requested by Agent while a Default or Event of Default exists, a Compliance

results of operations, cash flow, and Availability for such Fiscal Year, quarter by quarter, all in
form reasonably acceptable to Agent and with such line items as Agent may reasonably request;

(f) at Agent’s request, a listing of each Borrower’s trade payables, specifying the trade
creditor and balance due, and a detailed trade payable aging, all in form reasonably satisfactory
to Agent;

(g) promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies of any proxy statements, financial
statements or reports that any Obligor has made generally available to its shareholders; copies of
any regular, periodic and special reports or registration statements or prospectuses that any
Obligor files with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other Governmental Authority, or
any securities exchange; and copies of any press releases or other statements made available by a
Borrower to the public concerning material changes to or developments in the business of such
Borrower;

(h) promptly after the sending or filing thereof, copies of any annual report to be filed in
connection with each Plan or Foreign Plan;

Adverse Effect; (h) any Environmental Release by an Obligor or on any Property owned, leased or
occupied by an Obligor that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or
receipt of any Environmental Notice; (i) the occurrence of any ERISA Event; (j) the discharge of or

office or place of business, at least 30 days prior to such opening.

10.1.4. Landlord and Storage Agreements. Upon request, provide Agent with copies of
all existing agreements, and promptly after execution thereof provide Agent with copies of all
future agreements, between an Obligor and any landlord, warehouseman, processor, shipper, bailee or
other Person that owns any premises at which any Collateral may be kept or that otherwise may
possess or handle any Collateral.

10.1.5. Compliance with Laws. Comply with all Applicable Laws, including ERISA,
Environmental Laws, FLSA, OSHA, Anti-Terrorism Laws, and laws regarding collection and payment of
Taxes, and maintain all Governmental Approvals necessary to the ownership of its Properties or
conduct of its business, unless failure to comply (other than failure to comply with Anti-Terrorism
Laws) or maintain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Environmental Release occurs at or on any
Properties of any Obligor or Subsidiary, it shall act promptly and diligently to investigate and
report to all appropriate Governmental Authorities the extent of, and, if required by Applicable
Laws, to make appropriate remedial action to eliminate, such Environmental Release, whether or not
directed to do so by any Governmental Authority, and to report the same to Agent to the extent
required by this Agreement.

10.1.6. Taxes. Pay and discharge all federal, state, and material local Taxes prior

compensation, larceny, embezzlement, or other criminal misappropriation insurance), in such
amounts, and with such coverages and deductibles as are customary for companies similarly situated;
and (b) business interruption insurance in an amount not less than $10,000,000, with deductibles
and subject to an Insurance Assignment satisfactory to Agent.

10.1.8. Licenses. Keep each material License affecting any Collateral (including the
manufacture, distribution or disposition of Inventory) or any other material Property of Borrowers
and Subsidiaries in full force and effect except, solely in the case of Licenses affecting Property
that is not Collateral, to the extent the failure to maintain such License would not result in a
Material Adverse Effect; promptly notify Agent of any proposed modification to any such License, or
entry into any new material License, in each case at least 30 days prior to its effective date; pay
all Royalties when due; and notify Agent of any default or breach asserted in writing by any Person
to have occurred under any License.

Subsidiary and, if such Person is not a Foreign Subsidiary, cause it to guaranty the Obligations in
a manner satisfactory to Agent, and to execute and deliver such documents, instruments and

(m) A Change of Control occurs; or any event occurs or condition exists that has a Material
Adverse Effect.

11.2. Remedies upon Default

If an Event of Default described in Section 11.1(j) occurs with respect to any
Borrower, then to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all Obligations shall become
automatically due and payable and all Commitments shall terminate, without any action by Agent or
notice of any kind. In addition, or if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Agent may in its discretion (and shall upon written direction of Required Lenders) do any one or
more of the following from time to time (upon such notice to Borrower Agent as may be required by
Applicable Law after giving effect to the agreements and waivers contained herein):

(a) declare any Obligations immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall be due and
payable without diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, including notice of
intent to accelerate and notice of acceleration, all of which are hereby waived by Borrowers to the
fullest extent permitted by law;

(b) terminate, reduce or condition any Commitment, or make any adjustment to the Borrowing
Base;

(c) require Obligors to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, Bank Product Debt and other
Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable (excluding contingent or inchoate
indemnification obligations to the extent that claims giving rise thereto have not been asserted or
cannot reasonably be identified by any Secured Party based on the then-known facts and
circumstances), and, if Obligors fail promptly to deposit such Cash Collateral, Agent may (and
shall upon the direction of Required Lenders) advance the required Cash Collateral as Revolver
Loans (whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section
6 are satisfied); and

(d) exercise any other default rights or remedies afforded under any agreement, by law, at
equity or otherwise, including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Such
rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require
Borrowers to assemble Collateral, at Borrowers’ expense, and make it available to Agent at a place
designated by Agent; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on
such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by a Borrower, Borrowers agree
not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then
condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale,
with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all
as Agent, in its discretion, deems advisable. Each Borrower agrees that 10 days notice of any
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Agent shall be reasonable. Agent shall have
the right to conduct such sales on any Obligor’s premises, without charge, and such sales may be
adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. Agent shall have the right to sell,
lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent
may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual
payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

11.3. License. Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other
right following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to use, license or
sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all
Intellectual Property of Borrowers, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures,
customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other
Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or
otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral. Each Borrower’s
rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Agent’s benefit.

11.4. Setoff. At any time during an Event of Default, Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders,
and any of their Affiliates are authorized, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final,
in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time
owing by Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
an Obligor against any Obligations, irrespective of whether or not Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender
or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of
Agent, Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such
deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Agent, Issuing Bank, each Lender and each
such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Person may have.

11.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

11.5.1. Cumulative Rights. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties,
guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents are
cumulative and not in derogation or substitution of each other. In particular, the rights and
remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time,
concurrently or in any order, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Agent
and Lenders may have, whether under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.

11.5.2. Waivers. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict
performance by Borrowers with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or
remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise, shall not operate as a waiver thereof nor as
establishment of a course of dealing. All rights and remedies shall continue in full force and
effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. No modification of any terms of any Loan Documents
(including any waiver thereof) shall be effective, unless such modification is specifically
provided in a writing directed to Borrower Agent and executed by Agent or the requisite Lenders,
and such modification shall be applicable only to the matter specified. No waiver of any Default
or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may
exist at such time, unless expressly stated. If Agent or any Lender accepts performance by any
Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein, or during any
Default or Event of Default, or if Agent or any Lender shall delay or exercise any right or remedy
under any Loan Documents, such acceptance, delay or exercise shall not operate to waive any Default
or Event of Default nor to preclude exercise of any other right or remedy.

	 	 	 
	SECTION 12.

12.1.

	 	AGENT

Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.
	
 
	 	 

12.1.1. Appointment and Authority. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and designates
Bank of America as Agent hereunder. Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all
Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for
Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by
Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise
by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other
powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Lenders. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a)
act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections
arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document,
including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document
from any Obligor or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of
perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated
therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement
Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan
Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and
administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender,
Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction
relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory
constitute Eligible Accounts, Eligible In-Transit Inventory or Eligible Inventory, whether any
Installment Receivables constitute Eligible Installment Receivables, or whether to impose or
release any reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall
exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

12.1.2. Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in
the Loan Documents. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Agent’s part
to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this
Agreement.

12.1.3. Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and
employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act
upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in reasonable reliance upon, any advice
given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4. Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon
Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other
party, unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders
with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and
may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under
Section 12.6 against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act.
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or
assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in
accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions
by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the circumstances described in
Section 14.1.1, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior written consent
of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without
accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans, nor to terminate the Commitments of one
Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. In no event shall Agent be required to
take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could
subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.

12.2.1. Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Agent to release any
Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the
subject of an Asset Disposition which Borrowers certify in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset
Disposition or a Lien which Borrowers certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s
Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that
does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) with the written consent of all
Lenders. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral
exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure
that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any
particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

12.2.2. Possession of Collateral. Agent and Lenders appoint each other Lender as
agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral
held by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession. If any Lender obtains
possession of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request,
deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s
instructions.

12.2.3. Reports. Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender
copies of the results of any field audit, examination or appraisal prepared by or on behalf of
Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither
Bank of America nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness
of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report;
(b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or
any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information
regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books and
records as well as upon representations of Borrowers’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all
Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report
(or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and
accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other
Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person
preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may
draw from any Report, as well as any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that
obtain any part or contents of a Report through such Lender.

12.3. Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by
telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent
Professionals.

12.4. Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower Agent
specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or
Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each
Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent
of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations
under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law
to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights
against an Obligor where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such
action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim
in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any
Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation,
determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable, such
Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and the other Lenders such participations
in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as
applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing
Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. No Lender shall set off against any Dominion Account without the
prior consent of Agent.

12.6. Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD
HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL
CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE, PROVIDED THE CLAIM RELATES
TO OR ARISES FROM AN AGENT INDEMNITEE ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN ITS CAPACITY AS AGENT). In
Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any such Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee, and may
satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to
making any distribution of Collateral proceeds to Lenders. If Agent is sued by any receiver,
bankruptcy trustee, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent
transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together
with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same,
shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Lender to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

12.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of AgentAgent shall not be liable to Lenders for
any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and
solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any
responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor or Lender of
any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied
warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents
or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution,
validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness,
enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the
validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or
collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of
operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent
Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of
any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any terms of the
Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

12.8. Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.8.1. Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written
notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall
have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state
or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no
Default or Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Borrower Agent. If no successor
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, then Agent may appoint
a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to
serve as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of
the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any
Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its
benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor
to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Agent
hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as
provided above.

12.8.2. Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall
be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to
transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of
any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Agent may appoint an
additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If
Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be
available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every
covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be
enforceable by it as well as Agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as Agent
deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or
co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then
all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in
and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has,
independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents,
information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor
and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC
Obligations hereunder. Each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the
Collateral and each Obligor as such Lender feels necessary. Each Lender further acknowledges and
agrees that the other Lenders and Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any
Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan
Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the other
Lenders or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems
appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans
and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan
Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender,
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or
certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the
affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates)
which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

12.10. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) fails to fund its Pro Rata
share of any Loan or LC Obligation hereunder, and such failure is not cured within two Business
Days, (b) defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (c) fails to
give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required
and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person
may have, Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender
to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s)
specified by Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s) and within 20 days after
Agent’s notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment
and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in
cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including
all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment
charge).

12.11. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.11.1. Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by
the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time
for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by
Agent by 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later
than 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time),
then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent
to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such
payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the
Loan Documents.

12.11.2. Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to
Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at
the rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In
no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent.

12.11.3. Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the
expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related
payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If
Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an
Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding
any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any
Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be
returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, each Lender shall pay to Agent, on demand,
such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.12. Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the
same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms
“Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as
a Lender. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits
or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as trustee under
indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business
with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America were any other bank, without any duty to
account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to
the other Lenders. In their individual capacity, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive
information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information
subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that Bank of America and its
Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to Lenders, if acquired in such
individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder.

12.13. Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on
the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of
any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other
than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any other Lender.

12.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely
among Lenders and Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section
12 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between
Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any
Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Lenders.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrowers, Agent, Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a)
no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan
Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3.
Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such
Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent
of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such
Lender.

13.2. Participations. 13.2.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender
may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell
to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations
of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests
to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such
obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all
amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating
interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its
Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not
have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless
Borrower Agent agrees otherwise in writing.

13.2.2. Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without
the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents
other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or
fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest,
postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of
principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or
substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3. Benefit of Set-Off. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right
of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were
owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to
any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees
to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as
if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3. Assignments.

13.3.1. Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant,
and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $3,000,000
(unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess
of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and
obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least
$5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and
Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under
the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral
security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by
such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans;
provided, however, that any payment by Borrowers to the assigning Lender in respect of any
Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder
to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder.

13.3.2. Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the
form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed, and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless
otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in
the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From such effective date, the Eligible
Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and
obligations of a Lender thereunder. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.10
and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS

14.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers. 14.1.1. Amendment. No modification
of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a
Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent (with
the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however,
that

(a) without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be effective with
respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of
Agent;

(b) without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with
respect to any LC Obligations or Section 2.3;

(c) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification shall be
effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; or (ii) reduce the amount of, or
waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender; and

(d) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided
in Section 4.2), no modification shall be effective that would (i) extend the Revolver
Termination Date; (ii) alter Sections 5.6, 7.1 (except to add Collateral) or
14.1.1; (iii) amend the definitions of Borrowing Base (and the defined terms used in such
definition), Pro Rata or Required Lenders; (iv) increase any advance rate, decrease the
Availability Block or increase total Commitments; (vi) release Collateral with a book value greater
than $2,000,000 during any calendar year, except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents;
or (vii) release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations, if such Obligor is Solvent at the
time of the release.

14.1.2. Limitations. The agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the
effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties
of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the
Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of
such agreement, and no Affiliate of a Lender that is party to a Bank Product agreement shall have
any other right to consent to or participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan
Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not
be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of
dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing,
and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

14.1.3. Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any
remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to
any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender
with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently
paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2. Indemnity. EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES
AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS
ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have
any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that
is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

14.3. Notices and Communications.

14.3.1. Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices and other
communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at
Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its
address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after
the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address
as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such
notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when
transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if
given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage
pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly
delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
notice to Agent pursuant to any of Sections 2.1.4, 2.3, 3.1.2,
4.1.1 or 5.3.3 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to
whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other
communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be
effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower
Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

14.3.2. Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites
may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base
Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.2, administrative matters,
distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.4.
Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications.
Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3. Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices
purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if such notices were not made in a manner
specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by
the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic
communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

14.4. Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion when an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any
act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a)
enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize
upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any
Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or
processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses
(including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by
Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof
at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by
Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or
to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but they
shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties
concerning any Borrower or Subsidiary.

14.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be
invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the
remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are
cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or
measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each
must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific
reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in
direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and
control.

14.8. Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts
bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

14.9. Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan
Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof,
and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof.

14.10. Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are
several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender.
Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender
shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its
rights arising out of the Loan Documents. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement
and no action of Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute
Agent and Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor
to constitute control of any Borrower.

14.11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of
each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i)
this credit facility and any related arranging or other services by Agent, any Lender, any of their
Affiliates or any arranger are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Borrowers and such
Person; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to
the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating and
understanding, and do understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger
is and has been acting solely as a principal in connection with this credit facility, is not the
financial advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, any of their Affiliates or any other Person,
and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as
expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from Borrowers and
their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their
Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and
releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger with
respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect
of any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

14.12. Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or
by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies, the enforcement of any rights, or any action or proceeding relating to
any Loan Documents; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to
any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to Agent, any Lender, Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may issue and
disseminate to the public general information describing this credit facility, including the names
and addresses of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’ businesses, and may use
Borrowers’ names in advertising and other promotional materials. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its
business, other than any information that is available to Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank on a
non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Obligor or Subsidiary, provided that, in the case
of information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be considered to have complied with
its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information. Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i) Information may include
material non-public information concerning an Obligor or Subsidiary; (ii) it has developed
compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will
handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal
and state securities laws.

14.13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY
CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.14. Consent to Forum; Arbitration. 14.14.1.

14.14.2. Forum. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF
ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, CITY OF
NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT
ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR
SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS
TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.3.1. Nothing herein
shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other
court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by
Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any
judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

14.14.3. California Actions. THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT, ONLY IF ANY
ACTION SEEKING ENFORCEMENT OF, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL REMEDY FOUNDED ON, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT IS COMMENCED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WILL THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS OF
SECTION 14.14.4 BECOME AVAILABLE TO THE PARTIES. PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY ACTION
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SECTION 14.14.4 SHALL BE OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT.

14.14.4. Arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any controversy or claim among the parties relating in any way to any Obligations or Loan
Documents, including any alleged tort, shall at the request of any party hereto following
commencement of any action to litigate such controversy or claim in the state of California be
determined by binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the United States Arbitration Act
(Title 9 U.S. Code). Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the
then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and the terms of this Section. In the event of any
inconsistency, the terms of this Section shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to serve as
the provider of arbitration or to enforce any provision of this Section, Agent may designate
another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.
The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. The arbitration hearing
shall commence within 90 days of the arbitration demand and close within 90 days thereafter. The
arbitration award must be issued within 30 days after close of the hearing (subject to extension by
the arbitrator for up to 60 days upon a showing of good cause), and shall include a concise written
statement of reasons for the award. The arbitrator shall give effect to applicable statutes of
limitation in determining any controversy or claim, and for these purposes, service on AAA under
applicable AAA rules of a notice of claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any
dispute concerning this Section or whether a controversy or claim is arbitrable shall be determined
by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees to the extent provided
by this Agreement. Judgment upon an arbitration award may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuant to a
provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including
the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such
action for judicial relief. No controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration without the
consent of all parties if, at the time of the proposed submission, such controversy or claim
relates to an obligation secured by Real Estate, but if all parties do not consent to submission of
such a controversy or claim to arbitration, it shall be determined as provided in the next
sentence. At the request of any party, a controversy or claim that is not submitted to arbitration
as provided above shall be determined by judicial reference; and if such an election is made, the
parties shall designate to the court a referee or referees selected under the auspices of the AAA
in the same manner as arbitrators are selected in AAA sponsored proceedings and the presiding
referee of the panel (or the referee if there is a single referee) shall be an active attorney or
retired judge; and judgment upon the award rendered by such referee or referees shall be entered in
the court in which proceeding was commenced. None of the foregoing provisions of this Section
shall limit the right of Agent or Lenders to exercise self-help remedies, such as setoff,
foreclosure or sale of any Collateral or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court
of competent jurisdiction before, after or during any arbitration proceeding. The exercise of a
remedy does not waive the right of any party to resort to arbitration or reference. At Agent’s
option, foreclosure under a Mortgage may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale
thereunder or by judicial foreclosure.

14.15. Waivers by Borrowers. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH
BORROWER WAIVES (A) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN
ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, OBLIGATIONS OR
COLLATERAL; (B) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, DEFAULT, NON-PAYMENT,
MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY COMMERCIAL PAPER, ACCOUNTS,
DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTIES AT ANY TIME HELD BY AGENT ON WHICH A BORROWER
MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE, AND HEREBY RATIFIES ANYTHING AGENT MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (C) NOTICE
PRIOR TO TAKING POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF ANY COLLATERAL; (D) ANY BOND OR SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE
REQUIRED BY A COURT PRIOR TO ALLOWING AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES; (E) THE BENEFIT OF
ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT AND EXEMPTION LAWS; (F) ANY CLAIM AGAINST AGENT OR ANY LENDER, ON ANY
THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS
OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION, OBLIGATIONS,
LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO; AND (G) NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE HEREOF. Each
Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent and Lenders
entering into this Agreement and that Agent and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their
dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel
and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation
with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent
to a trial by the court.

14.16. Patriot Act Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to
the requirements of the Patriot Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and
other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot
Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any,
and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name,
address, social security number and date of birth.
