(i)    Within ten (10) days after the date such report is given, give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders; and

3

(A)    Within ninety (90) days of the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Corporation (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Corporation is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(B)    After the Corporation has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared effective under the Securities Act; provided, however, that a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall not be considered a registration for purposes of this Section 1.2, (i) unless and until such registration shall have become effective and (x) in the case of a registration on Form S-1 (or any successor form), until 180 days after the effective date thereof, and (y) in the case of a registration on Form S-3, until all Registrable Securities included in such registration shall have been actually sold, (ii) if the Holders withdraw their request at any time because such Holders (A) reasonably believed that the registration statement contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (B) notified the Corporation of such fact and requested that the Corporation correct such alleged misstatement or omission, and (C) the Corporation has refused to correct such alleged misstatement or omission, or (iii) at least 50% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Holders are not included in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2; or

the date of receipt of the written request from the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Corporation may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (C), the Corporation shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders.
(b)    Underwriting.  In the event that a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2 is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Corporation shall so advise the Holders as part of the notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to participate in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in the underwriting arrangements required by this Section 1.2(b), and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent requested shall be limited to the extent provided herein.
The Corporation shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the managing underwriter determines, and provides written notice, that marketing factors require limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration. The Corporation shall so advise all Holders distributing their securities through such underwriting and the number of shares of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting (other than on behalf of the Corporation) shall be allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities owned by such Holders or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Corporation or the managing underwriter may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.
Section 1.3    Corporation Registration.
(a)    Notice of Registration.  If at any time or from time to time the Corporation shall determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders, other than (i) the initial public offering of such securities, unless consented to by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, (ii) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (iii) a registration relating solely to a SEC Rule 145 transaction, (iv) a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities or (v) a registration undertaken in connection with a reorganization of the Corporation, the Corporation will:
(i)    promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and

5

(ii)    include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance requirements), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Corporation, by any Holder.
(b)    Underwriting.  If the registration of which the Corporation gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Corporation shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.3(a) above. In such event, the right of any Holder to participate in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Corporation and any other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter selected for such underwriting by the Corporation and approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if the managing underwriter determines, and provides written notice, that marketing factors require limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the managing underwriter may limit the Registrable Securities to be included in such registration. The Corporation shall so advise all Holders and other holders distributing their securities through such underwriting and the number of shares of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting (other than on behalf of the Corporation) shall be allocated among all Holders and such other holders (provided that such other holders have contractual rights to participate in such registration which are not subordinate to the Holders) in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities or other securities owned by such Holders and such other holders, or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by the selling Holders only; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities (other than securities to be sold by the Corporation) are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Corporation may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder or holder to the nearest one hundred (100) shares.
Section 1.4    Registration on Form S-3.
(a)    If Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities request that the Corporation file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of (i) the Registrable Securities, and (ii) any securities of the Corporation other than Registrable Securities to be sold by shareholders in such public offering, the anticipated aggregate price to the public of (i) and (ii) is at least $15,000,000, and the Corporation is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Holders, cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form and to cause such Registrable Securities to be qualified in such jurisdictions as the Holders may reasonably request. The substantive provisions of Section 1.2(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Section 1.4.

6

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Section 1.4 (i) if the Holders of the Registrable Securities request that the Corporation file more than two registration statements on Form S-3 during any twelve-month period, and (ii) if the Corporation shall furnish to such Holders a certificate, signed by the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, stating that in the good faith judgment of the Corporation’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Corporation and its owners for a registration statement to be filed in the near future because such action would (x) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Corporation, (y) require premature disclosure of material information that the Corporation has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, or (z) render the Corporation unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, in each such case the Corporation’s obligation to register, qualify or comply under this Section 1.4 shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of the written request from the Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Corporation may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
Section 1.5    Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights.  From and after the date hereof, without the written approval of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement granting any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Corporation registration rights equal to or superior to those of the Holders. Nothing in this Section 1.5 shall be deemed to restrict the Corporation’s right to grant registration rights to other purchasers of the Corporation’s securities that are inferior to, and in no way interfere with, those registration rights granted to the Holders.
Section 1.6    Expenses of Registration.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with all registrations pursuant to Section 1.2, Section 1.3 and Section 1.4 shall be borne by the Corporation.

Section 1.7    Registration Procedures.  In the case of each registration, qualification or compliance effected by the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, the Corporation will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof.

7

such Registrable Securities are sold, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment which (A) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (B) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (A) and (B) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.

(e)    In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement and any other agreements, in usual and customary form, with the underwriters of such offering and take all such actions requested to expedite or facilitate the disposition of shares. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement. 
(f)    Notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any time when (1) a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, (2) when the registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and with respect to the registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, and (3) the Corporation receives any material comments from the SEC with respect to a registration statement or any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the registration statement or the prospectus or for additional information.

(j)    Permit any participating Holder that, in its reasonable judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling Person of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to permit the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Corporation in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such participating Holder and its counsel should be included, provided that such material shall be furnished under such circumstances as shall cause it to be subject to the indemnification provisions provided pursuant to Section 1.8 hereof.
(k)    In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Registrable Securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Corporation will use its best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order.

10

(b)    To the extent permitted by law, each Holder, severally and not jointly, will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Corporation, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter, if any, of the Corporation’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each Person who controls the Corporation or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, and each other such Holder, each of its officers, directors, members, shareholders and partners and each Person controlling such other Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document, or any amendment or supplement thereto, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) use or delivery by such Holder of a prospectus other than the most current prospectus made available to such Holder by the Corporation, and will reimburse the Corporation, such Holder, each of its directors, officers, partners, and each Person controlling such Holder or the Corporation, each such underwriter and each Person who controls any such underwriter for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in the case of clause (i) above to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, other document, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Corporation by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein or the preparation thereby; provided, however, that indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Holders be liable to the Corporation in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action arises out of or is based on (i) any untrue statement or omission (or alleged untrue statement or omission), made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Holders by the Corporation, any of its officers, directors and partners, controlling Person of the Corporation, underwriter or controlling Person of such underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein or the preparation thereby or (ii) use or delivery by the Corporation, controlling Person or underwriter of a prospectus other than the most current prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (b), the liability of each Holder under this subsection (b) shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder from the shares sold by such Holder in the offering in question, unless such liability arises out of, or is based on willful misconduct by, such Holder.
(c)    Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified 

11

Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would not be appropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; provided, further, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1.8 to the extent (but only to the extent) that the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or material separate and different defenses. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d)    If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 1.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct by such Holder.
(e)    The obligations of the Corporation and Holders under this Section 1.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement, and otherwise shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.9    Information by Holder.  The Holders of securities included in any registration shall furnish to the Corporation such information regarding such Holders, the Registrable Securities 

12

held by them and the distribution proposed by such Holders as the Corporation may reasonably request in writing and only as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement.
Section 1.10    Rule 144 Reporting.  With a view to making available the benefits of SEC Rule 144 and any other rules and regulations of the SEC which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the securities of the Corporation, or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Corporation agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a)    Make and keep available adequate current public information, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date that the Corporation becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act;
(b)    File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Corporation under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements);
(c)    Take such action, including the voluntary registration of its common stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Corporation for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;
(d)    So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request (i) to the extent accurate, a written statement by the Corporation as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Corporation for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Corporation so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Corporation, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Corporation and other information in the possession of or reasonably obtainable by the Corporation as the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Holder to sell any such securities without registration (or any time after the Corporation has become subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act) or pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after the Corporation so qualifies to use such form).
Section 1.11    Transfer of Registration Rights.  Subject to compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the LLC Agreement, the rights to cause the Corporation to register securities granted to the Holders under Section 1.2, Section 1.3 and Section 1.4 may be assigned to a Permitted Transferee or any other transferee or assignee reasonably acceptable to the Corporation in connection with any transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Holder provided that the transferor provides the Corporation with written notice of the proposed transfer, and the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

13

Section 1.12    Termination.  No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Agreement after the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by such Holder could be sold in any ninety (90) day period pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) as to any Holder, all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder have been sold pursuant to registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.
Section 1.13    Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, terminated or waived only with the prior written consent of the Corporation and Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A consent to, or waiver of, any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent to, or waiver of, any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.
Section 1.14    Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 1.15    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or regulation in any jurisdiction, such prohibition, invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
Section 1.16    Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement contains the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
Section 1.17    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit and be enforceable by the Corporation and its successors and assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and assigns (whether so expressed or not). In addition, whether or not any 

14

express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of Holders are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent or successor Holder.
Section 1.18    Notices. Any notice, demand or other communication to be given under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered personally to the recipient, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail if sent during normal business hours of the recipient but; if not, then on the next Business Day, (iii) one Business Day after it is sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) or (iv) three Business Days after it is mailed to the recipient by first class mail, return receipt requested. Such notices, demands and other communications shall be sent to the Corporation at the address specified below and to any Member or to any other party subject to this Agreement at such address as indicated on the Schedule of Holders, or at such address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. Any party may change such party’s address for receipt of notice by providing prior written notice of the change to the sending party as provided herein. The Corporation’s address is:

Section 1.19    Business Days. If any time period for giving notice or taking action hereunder expires on a day that is not a Business Day, the time period shall automatically be extended to the immediately following Business Day.
Section 1.20    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflicts of law rules.
Section 1.21    Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement. The use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation.

15

Section 1.22    No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
Section 1.23    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 1.24    Electronic Delivery. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent executed and delivered by means of a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of such signed writing using a facsimile machine or electronic mail shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
Section 1.25    Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Holder shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE 3.
RELATIONSHIP OF BORROWERS

Borrowers jointly and severally warrant and represent to Lenders and Collateral Agent, and agree with Lenders and Collateral Agent, as follows:

3.1    Joint and Several Liability. Borrowers are interdependent for their operational and financial needs, and they, Lenders, and Collateral Agent intend that each Borrower be jointly and severally liable for each monetary obligation, warranty, and covenant obligation arising under this Agreement. This Agreement is fair to all Borrowers, and the delivery of funds to a Borrower under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers for the purpose of jointly and severally binding them and their assets to secure the Obligations. Lenders and Collateral Agent may enforce this Agreement against a Borrower without first making demand upon or instituting collection proceedings against any other Borrower.

3.2    Funding Requests and Administration. A Borrower may act on behalf of all Borrowers for the purpose of giving and receiving notices and otherwise acting in the administration of this Agreement. Any dealing of a Borrower with Lenders or Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed for the benefit of, and on behalf of, all Borrowers.

3.3    Unconditional Obligation. The unconditional liability of each Borrower for the entire amount of the Obligations shall not be impaired by any event whatsoever (other than the discharge of such Borrower by indefeasible payment in cash), including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation, dissolution, cessation of business, or liquidation of any other Borrower; the financial decline or bankruptcy of any other Borrower; the failure of any other party to guarantee the Obligations or to provide collateral therefor; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's compromise or settlement with or without release of any other Borrower, with or without reservation of rights; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's release of any collateral for the Obligations, with or without notice to a Borrower; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's forbearance in the exercise of any available remedies, including the failure to file suit against any other Borrower; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's failure to give a Borrower notice of default; the unenforceability of the Obligations against any other Borrower due to bankruptcy discharge, affirmative defense, counterclaim, or for any 

-20-

other reason; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's acceleration of the Obligations; the extension, modification, or renewal of the Obligations; Collateral Agent's or any Lender's failure to undertake or exercise diligence in collection efforts against any party or Property; the termination of any relationship of a Borrower with any other Borrower, including, without limitation, any relationship of commerce or ownership; a Borrower's change of name or use of any name other than the name used to identify such Borrower in this Agreement; or a Borrower's use of the credit extended by Lenders for any purpose whatsoever.

3.4    Subrogation Rights. Borrowers' respective Subrogation Rights with respect to the Obligations are not impaired by this Agreement and are appropriately taken into account in determining that each Borrower is Solvent. Settlement responsibilities for the Obligations among Borrowers shall be allocated in the application of Subrogation Rights as to best uphold the validity of this Agreement and to give effect to Section 3.5; provided, however, each Borrower agrees not to make any claim against or seek any payment directly or indirectly from another Borrower with respect to any Subrogation Right until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

3.5    Savings Provision. If, notwithstanding the contrary agreement and intention of the parties hereto, the liability of a Borrower hereunder for the entire amount of the Obligations shall be subject to avoidance, reduction, or limitation under any state or federal fraudulent conveyance law or other Law that may be determined to be applicable, the liability of such Borrower shall be limited to the maximum amount for which such Borrower may be liable without legal impairment.

3.6    Independent Existence. The joint and several liability of Borrowers for the Obligations does not impair their separate legal existence, and Borrowers warrant and represent that they do, and agree that they shall continue to, conduct their affairs so as to maintain their separate legal existence.

-50-

10.4    Reliance by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Collateral Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, unless Collateral Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or prior to the making of such Loan. Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for a Borrower), independent accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, or experts.

10.5    Delegation of Duties. Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective employees and agents. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the employees and agents of Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

10.6Resignation of Collateral Agent.

(a)Resignation. Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders (determined for this purpose only without including Collateral Agent as a Lender) shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders as so determined), then the retiring Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent that is a national bank with offices in Nashville, Tennessee. Such resignation shall become effective upon the appointment of, and acceptance of appointment by, a successor Collateral Agent. 

(b)Continued Indemnity. After the retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Article and the indemnity provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Collateral Agent, its sub-agents, and their respective employees and agents respecting any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. 

-51-

10.7    Replacement of Collateral Agent in Certain Circumstances. If (i) CCSD I or CCSD II assigns or sells a participation interest (except to the other) in any of the Term Loan held by it as of the Closing Date, and (ii) Harbert has not, as of the time of such assignment or sale, assigned or sold a participation interest in the Term Loan held by it as of the Closing Date, then Harbert may within thirty (30) days by notice to CCSD I and CCSD II and Borrowers remove CCSD I as Collateral Agent and substitute Harbert as Collateral Agent. As the former Collateral Agent, CCSD I would continue to have the residual rights of indemnity that it would have had if it had resigned. 

10.8    Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

10.9    Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, Collateral Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Collateral Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

		
	(i)
	to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents that are allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

		
	(ii)
	to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and 

any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Collateral Agent and, in the event that Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.10    Exercise of Remedies. Collateral Agent shall proceed as set forth in this Section regarding the exercise of remedies upon an Event of Default.

-52-

(a)Unanimous Approval Absent Change. If, at the time of determination, Harbert and CCSD I/CCSD II are equal owners of the entire legal and beneficial interests in the Term Loans, Collateral Agent shall exercise no remedy under any Loan Document without the prior approval of the Required Lenders. 

(b)Collateral Agent Judgment if Change. If, at the time of determination, Harbert and CCSD I/CCSD II are not equal owners of the entire legal and beneficial interests in the Term Loans, Collateral Agent shall exercise such remedies and refrain from the exercise of such remedies as it may deem appropriate, and may seek the approval of Lenders on such matters as Collateral Agent may determine. 

(c)Reasonable Advice to Lenders. Collateral Agent shall in all cases keep Lenders reasonably apprised of Collateral Agent's actions in the enforcement of remedies and, to the extent circumstances reasonably permit, shall consult with Lenders regarding such enforcement. 

10.11    Administrative Collateral Matters.

(a)    Authority to Release. Lenders irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

		
	(i)
	to release any Encumbrance on any Property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (z) if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

		
	(ii)
	to subordinate any Encumbrance on any Property granted to or held by Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Encumbrance on such Property that is permitted by this Agreement; and 

		
	(iii)
	to release a Borrower from its liability for the Obligations if such Person ceases to be an Affiliate of the remaining Borrower(s) as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents. 

(b)Confirmations. Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Property. 

10.12    No Duty to Monitor Collateral. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value, or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority, or perfection of Collateral Agent's Encumbrance thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

-53-

10.13Sharing Among Lenders. 

(a)Settling Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notifY Collateral Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: 

		
	(i)
	if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

		
	(ii)
	the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, other than to Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 

(b)Borrowers' Agreement. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

ARTICLE 11.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1    Usury Savings Provision. It is the intention of the parties that all consideration under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Obligations, however denominated, and including (without limitation) all interest; commitment, transaction, or processing fees; late charges; loan charges; and other such charges shall be limited to the maximum lawful amount permitted under applicable state law or, if higher, applicable federal law (the "Maximum Lawful Amount"). Such consideration shall be characterized and all provisions of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to uphold the validity of charges provided for therein and any rates shall be calculated based upon the scheduled maturity of the Obligations and not based upon any prepayment or early maturity by acceleration. If for any reason, any interest and/or other charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the Term Loans shall exceed the Maximum 

-54-

Lawful Amount, then, ipso jacto, the obligation to pay such interest and/or other charges shall be reduced to the Maximum Lawful Amount in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Lenders that exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Term Loans and/or refunded to Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the Term Loans exceed the Maximum Lawful Amount. This provision shall control every other provision herein and in any and all other agreements and instruments now existing or hereafter arising between Borrowers and Lender with respect to the Term Loan.

11.2Publicity. Borrowers shall not issue any press release, notice, disclosure, or other such publicity regarding the Term Loans or their relationship with Lenders without the prior written consent of Lenders. 

11.3No Reliance on Lender's Analysis. Borrowers acknowledge and represent that, in connection with the Obligations, they have not relied upon any financial projection, budget, assessment, or other analysis by Lenders or upon any representation by Lenders as to the risks, benefits, or prospects of their business activities or present or future capital needs incidental thereto, all such considerations having been examined fully and independently by Borrowers. 

11.4No Marshaling of Assets. Lenders may proceed against any collateral securing the Obligations or other obligations to Lenders and against parties liable therefor in such order as it may elect, and neither a Borrower nor any surety or guarantor for a Borrower nor any creditor of a Borrower shall be entitled to require Lenders to marshal assets. Borrowers hereby expressly waive the benefit of any rule oflaw or equity to the contrary. 

11.5Business Days.  If any payment date under the Obligations falls on a day that is  not a Business Day, or if the last day of any notice period falls on such a day, the payment shall be due and the notice period shall end on the next following Business Day.

11.6Limitations of Damages. In no event shall Lenders ever be liable to Borrowers for (i) special, consequential, incidental, or other such damages arising from or related to the Term Loans or any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) punitive, exemplary, or other such damages arising from or related to the Term Loans or any ofthe Loan Documents. 

11.7Notices. All notices and communications relating to this Agreement shall be effective only when made in writing and actually delivered by mail, overnight courier, special courier, telecopier, email or otherwise to the addresses set forth below (or to such other address as a party may direct by a notice that complies with this Section), provided that (i) facsimile transmissions shall be effective only when confirmation of is received from the intended recipient's facsimile machine and, (ii) due to uncertainties caused by email volumes, spam filters, and other technical and practical matters, email transmissions shall be effective as notice only when and if receipt thereof is actually confirmed by the intended recipient:

11.8    Not Fiduciary; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither Lenders nor Collateral Agent is a fiduciary of a Borrower under any agreement or for any purpose. This Agreement has been executed for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and no third party is authorized to rely upon Lenders' or Collateral Agent' rights or duties hereunder.

11.9Incorporation of Schedules. All Schedules and Exhibits referred to in this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference. 

11.10Indulgence Not Waiver. Any party's indulgence in a departure from the terms of this Agreement shall not prejudice the party's right to demand strict compliance with this Agreement, absent a written waiver or amendment that would be binding under the terms of this Agreement. 

11.11Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties, except that (i) Borrowers may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations arising hereunder without the prior written consent of Lenders, and (ii) Lenders may assign their rights only as permitted in this Section. Any attempted assignment or delegation by Borrowers without the required prior written consent shall be void. Lenders may freely assign the Term Loans or grant participation interests in the Term Loans, in each case in whole or in part; provided, however, (i) no such assignment or participation interest in a Term Loan shall be effective unless and until notice thereof is given to Lenders, Borrowers, and Collateral Agent; (ii) absent the consent of Lenders, Borrowers, and Collateral Agent, no assignment or participation interest may be transferred to a Person whose foreign status would impose any duty of withholding or other burden or restriction upon any of Lenders, Borrowers, or Collateral Agent; and (iii) absent the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders may not, without the written consent of Borrowers (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), assign a Term Loan or grant a participation interest therein to any Person except to (A) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (B) an investment fund or other institutional investor that acquires a major part of a Lender's investment portfolio and which is not (either directly or through an Affiliate) engaged in Borrowers' Line of Business. To avoid doubt, upon and during the 

-57-

continuation of an Event of Default, Lenders may freely assign the Term Loans or grant participation interests in the Term Loans without Borrowers' consent. 

11.12Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other written agreements executed by the parties represent the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and all oral discussions and prior agreements are merged herein; provided, however, if there is a  conflict between this Agreement and any other document executed contemporaneously herewith with respect to the Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 

11.13Construction. This Agreement has been actively negotiated by the parties with full benefit of counsel and shall not be construed against either party as author. This Agreement shall not be deemed as amended, modified, or waived or construed to vary from its express terms by any course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade. 

11.14Requirements of Writing. When this Agreement requires that information be delivered in writing, or when it requires the delivery of information but is silent on the form of a delivery, it means that the required information must be delivered either in written language on paper or delivered as an electronic record in a generally accepted means of storage (e.g., a .pdf file, email text in format accepted by Microsoft Outlook, or faxed image). Oral statements shall not in any event suffice as writings, even if recorded, and regardless of their content.

11.15Amendments, Waivers, and Consents. 

(a)Procedural Requirements. No provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be amended, modified, or waived, and no related consent, approval, or additional agreement shall be binding, except as evidenced by a written document signed in hand by the party against whom such undertaking is to be enforced. Without limiting the foregoing, oral discussions (even if recorded), voice mail messages, and the text of ordinary electronic mail correspondence (that is, email correspondence that lacks a representation of a handwritten signature) shall not be binding, regardless of their content, its being the agreement of the parties that absent a handwritten signature all such communications should be conclusively regarded as nonbinding. A document signed in hand may be effectively evidenced by an electronic record that qualifies as a writing under this Agreement. 

(b)Approval of Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended, and provisions thereof waived, only upon the written agreement of Borrowers and Collateral Agent (except that the agreement of Borrowers shall not be required as to Article 10, except for Section 10.13(b)); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) increase the commitment of a Lender to extend any credit to any Borrower, without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any of the Term Loans or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce fees payable thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any of the Term Loans, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected 

-58-

thereby, (iv) change Section 2.11, any provision of Article 10, or this Section 11.15(b), without the written consent of all Lenders. 

(c)    Lender Consent in Other Capacities. To avoid doubt, no action taken by a Lender designee on the Governing Body of a Borrower shall constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Loan Documents. To the extent that any such action requires a waiver, consent, or amendment under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall be responsible to raise the issue and propose or request a formal written waiver, consent, or amendment. 

11.16Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, and all dates and time periods specified herein shall be strictly observed. 

11.17Gender and Number. Words used herein indicating gender or number shall be read as context may require. 

11.18Captions Not Controlling.  Captions and headings have been included in this Agreement for the convenience of the parties, and shall not be construed as affecting the content of the respective Sections.

11.19     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts with all signatures or by counterpart signature pages, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties be contained on anyone document. Each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of them together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.20Compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws. Borrowers, each holder of equity of Borrower, and all Beneficial Owners and Affiliates of Borrowers and each such owner of equity are and shall at all times remain in compliance with (i) the requirements of Executive Order No. 13224,66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (Sept. 25, 2001) and other similar requirements contained in the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-65; and (ii) other Laws as may be enacted now or in the future relating to anti-terrorism measures. 

11.21Applicable Law. The laws of the State of Tennessee (without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles) and applicable federal law shall govern all matters arising from or related to this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including the validity, interpretation, construction, performance, and enforcement thereof; provided, however, pursuant to TCA §47-14-119, the substantive laws of the State of Alabama shall govern this Agreement and the other Loan Documents regarding interest, loan charges, commitment fees, brokerage commissions, and other consideration charged by Harbert, except to the extent that federal law upholding such charges may otherwise apply. The parties acknowledge that Harbert's principal office is located in Alabama and that such contacts are sufficient to support the election of Alabama law to the extent stated above. 

-59-

11.22Consent to Jurisdiction; Exclusive Venue. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and of all Tennessee state courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, for the purpose of any litigation to which any Lender may be a party and which arises from or is related to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document that does not expressly provide to the contrary. It is further agreed that venue for any such action shaH lie exclusively with such courts, unless (i) Lenders and Collateral Agent agree to the contrary in writing, or (ii) Lenders or Collateral Agent initiate litigation in another court that has personal jurisdiction over the parties to that action or has in rem jurisdiction over Property relevant to the action. The parties waive any right to assert that the elected forum is not convenient and any right to raise any other objection to this election of exclusive venue.

11.23    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this Agreement hereby knowingly, voluntarily, and with fun benefit of counsel, irrevocably waives any right to obtain a trial by jury in any litigation arising from or related to this Agreement or to any other Loan Document and confirms that the effect of this waiver is that an issues of fact and law in any such litigation shall be determined by a judge acting without a jury. This waiver is a material inducement to the execution of this Agreement and is intended to apply whether such litigation is based upon contract, tort, statute, or any other authority.

11.24    Amended and Restated Agreement. This Agreement is an amendment to and restatement of, and not an extinguishment of, the obligations of the Borrowers under the Existing Borrowers Loan Agreement. All guaranty agreements, liens, assignments and security interests securing the Obligations and the Loan Documents are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed, extended and brought forward as security for the Obligations described in this Agreement, in addition to and cumulative of all other security.

11.25    Joinder of i3 Management and i3-RS. i3 Management and i3-RS each hereby joins in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the other Existing Borrowers are a party, including joining in (ii) the Term Loan Notes as a "Maker," and (iii) the Security Agreement as a "Debtor," and all such documents are hereby amended to include each of i3 Management and i3-RS as a party thereto. i3 Management and i3-RS each further (i) agrees to make all of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is joined as of the date hereof; (ii) grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Security Agreement, a valid and enforceable security interest in and to all of its assets constituting Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), free and clear of all Encumbrances except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement; and (iii) agrees that it hereby assumes, and is a direct obligor primarily liable for, all of the Obligations, whether now or hereafter arising. Without limiting the foregoing, i3 Management and i3-RS each agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable with Existing Borrowers and any other Borrower for all liabilities and obligations of each such Borrower to Collateral Agent and Lenders irrespective of when such liabilities or obligations first arose under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, i3 Management and i3-RS each agrees to execute and/or deliver to Collateral Agent such additional loan documents, security instruments, UCC financing statements, and other documents, instruments, certificates or agreements as 

-60-

Collateral Agent may reasonably request to give effect to this joinder of i3 Management and i3-RS.

11.26Affirmation; Collateral; Consent; Waivers regarding Warrants and Leases. 

(a)Affirmation of Loan Documents.
