 SECTION 2 
 THE COMMITMENTS AND EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT 
  
 2.01 Loans; Maximum Amounts. 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender agrees to make, Convert and Continue Loans until the Maturity Date in such amounts as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that the
Outstanding Obligations of Lender shall not exceed at any time Lender’s Commitment. This is a revolving credit and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow, Convert, Continue, prepay and reborrow Loans as set forth
herein without premium or penalty. 
  
 (b) Loans made by Lender
shall be evidenced by a Note. The date, amount and maturity of each of the Loans and payments and other particulars with respect thereto may be endorsed on schedule(s) attached to Lender’s Note and/or recorded on one or more loan accounts or
records maintained by Lender in the ordinary course of business. Such Notes, loan accounts and records shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of such Loans and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans. 
  
 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. 
  

(a) Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Loans in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Request for
Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to Lender not later than the Requisite Time therefor. All Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set
forth in the prior sentence. 
  
 (b) Following receipt of a
Request for Extension of Credit, in the case of a Borrowing of Loans, Lender shall make the funds for its Loan available not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if the initial Extension of Credit hereunder, Section 4.01), all funds shall be made available to Borrower in Dollars. 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, an Offshore Rate Loan may be
Continued or Converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Offshore Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, Converted into or Continued as Offshore Rate Loans and Lender may
demand that any or all of the then outstanding Offshore Rate Loans be Converted immediately into Base Rate Loans. 
  
 (d) If a Loan is to be made on the same date that another Loan is due and payable, Borrower shall make available to Lender the net amount of funds giving
effect to both such Loans and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such Loan. 
  

 - 21 - 

 2.03 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) The Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, until the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date, Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that (i) the Outstanding Obligations of Lender shall not at any time exceed Lender’s Commitment;
and (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to subsection (g) below, no Letter of Credit may expire more than twelve (12) months after the date of its issuance or last renewal. 

 
 (b) Letter of Credit Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, Issuing Lender shall take such Letter of Credit Actions as Borrower may from time to time request; provided, however, that the Outstanding Obligations of Lender shall not
exceed Lender’s Commitment. Subject to subsection (g) below and unless consented to by Issuing Lender, no Letter of Credit may expire more than twelve (12) months after the date of its issuance or last renewal; provided, however, that no Letter
of Credit shall expire after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless Borrower shall post cash collateral with respect to such Letter of Credit in such manner as is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the amount of the Letter of Credit does not
exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. 
  
 (c) Requesting Letter
of Credit Actions. Borrower may irrevocably request a Letter of Credit Action in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a Letter of Credit Application therefor to Issuing Lender, by Requisite Notice not later than the Requisite Time therefor.
Each Letter of Credit Action shall be in a form acceptable to Issuing Lender in its sole discretion. Unless Issuing Lender has determined that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any Laws or policies of Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall,
upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 with respect to any Letter of Credit Action constituting an Extension of Credit, effect such Letter of Credit Action. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict
with any Letter of Credit Application. 
  
 (d) Reimbursement of
Payments Under Letters of Credit. Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Lender for any payment that Issuing Lender makes under a Letter of Credit on or before the date of such payment; provided, however, that if the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 can be satisfied, Borrower may request a Borrowing of Loans to reimburse Issuing Lender for such payment pursuant to Section 2.03, or, failing to make such request, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans on such payment date pursuant to subsection (e) below. 
  
 (e) Funding by Lender When Issuing Lender Not Reimbursed. Upon any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall notify Borrower. If Borrower fails to timely make the payment required pursuant to subsection (d) above,
Issuing Lender shall notify Lender of such fact and the amount of such unreimbursed payment. Lender shall make funds in an amount equal to such amount available not later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified. Lender shall
remit the funds to Issuing Lender. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse 

  

 - 22 - 

 
Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
  
 (f) Nature of Lender’s Funding. If the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 4.02 can be satisfied (except for the giving of a Request for Extension of Credit) on any date Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the funding by Lender pursuant
to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (without regard to the Minimum Amount therefor) deemed requested by Borrower. If the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied on the date
Borrower is obligated to, but fails to, reimburse Issuing Lender for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the funding by Lender pursuant to the previous subsection shall be deemed to be a funding by Lender in such Letter of Credit, and Lender shall
thereupon acquire, to the extent of its reimbursement, an interest in the claim of Issuing Lender against Borrower in respect of such payment and shall share in any payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim. Any amounts made available by
Lender shall be payable by Borrower upon demand of Lender, and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. 
  
 (g) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to pay to Issuing Lender the amount of any payment made by Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation shall not be affected by any of the following circumstances: 
  
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement
or instrument relating thereto; 
  
 (ii) any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto; 
  

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other rights which Borrower may have at any time against Issuing Lender, or
Lender, any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or any other Person, whether in connection with such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
relating thereto, or any unrelated transactions; 
  
 (iv) any demand, statement, or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever
so long as any such document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; 
  
 (v) any payment made by Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy,
debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Laws; 
  
 (vi) the existence,
character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any property purported to be represented by documents presented in connection with 

  

 - 23 - 

 
such Letter of Credit or for any difference between any such property and the character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such property as described
in such documents; 
  
 (vii) the time, place,
manner, order or contents of shipments or deliveries of property as described in documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and extent of any insurance relative thereto; 
  
 (viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party
issuing any documents in connection with such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (ix) any failure or delay in notice of shipments or arrival of any property; 
  
 (x) any error in the transmission of any message relating to such Letter of Credit not caused by Issuing Lender, or any delay or
interruption in any such message; 
  
 (xi) any
error, neglect or default of any correspondent of Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; 
  
 (xii) any consequence arising from acts of God, wars, insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency conditions or
other causes beyond the control of Issuing Lender; 
  
 (xiii) so long as Issuing Lender in good faith determines that the document appears to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in any document
submitted to Issuing Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (xiv) any other circumstances whatsoever where Issuing Lender has acted in good faith. 
  
 In addition, Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and amendments thereto delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of
noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify Issuing Lender in writing. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against Issuing Lender and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 (h) Role of
Issuing Lender. Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by
the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of
Issuing Lender shall be liable to Lender for any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of Lender; any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or the due
execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it 

  

 - 24 - 

 
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of
Issuing Lender, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in subsection (g) above. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 
  
 (i) Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Lender and Borrower when a Letter of
Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, performance under Letters of Credit by Issuing Lender, its correspondents, and beneficiaries will be governed by, with respect to standby Letters of Credit, the rules of the “International
Standby Practices 1998” (ISP98) or such later revision as may be published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”). 
  
 (j) Letter of Credit Fee. On each Applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender in arrears, a Letter of Credit fee equal to the
Applicable Margin for Offshore Rate Loans on a per annum basis times the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit for the period since the later of the Closing Date and the previous Applicable Payment Date. If
there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. 

 
 (k) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to
Issuing Lender. On each Applicable Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender for the sole account of Issuing Lender a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.150% per annum on the daily average face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit,
payable in arrears. In addition, Borrower shall pay directly to Issuing Lender, upon demand, for its sole account its customary documentary and processing charges in accordance with its standard schedule, as from time to time in effect, for any
Letter of Credit Action or other occurrence relating to a Letter of Credit for which such charges are customarily made. Such fees and charges are nonrefundable. 
  

2.04 Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Upon Requisite Notice to Lender not later than the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in
part in the Minimum Amount therefor or in full without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of an Offshore Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the amounts set forth in Section 3.05. 
  
 (b) If for any reason the Outstanding Obligations exceed the Commitment as in
effect or as reduced because of any limitation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
  

 - 25 - 

 2.05 Reduction or Termination of Commitment. Upon Requisite Notice to Lender not later than
the Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty, permanently and irrevocably reduce the Commitment in a Minimum Amount therefor to an amount not less than the Outstanding Obligations at such
time or terminate the Commitment. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid commitment fees with respect to the portion of the Commitment being reduced or terminated. 
  
 2.06 Principal and Interest. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided hereunder, if not sooner paid, Borrower
agrees to pay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) Subject to subsection (c) below, and unless otherwise specified herein, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (before and after default, before and after maturity, before and
after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on each Applicable Payment Date at a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate determined in accordance with the definition of such type of Loan, plus the Applicable Margin specified in the definition in this Agreement of Applicable Margin with respect to such type of Loan. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b) of this Section, while any Event of
Default exists or after acceleration, Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, at the Default Rate. 
  
 2.07 Fees. 
  
 (a) Facility Fee. Borrower shall pay to Lender the facility fee set
forth in the definition in this Agreement of Applicable Margin, calculated on the full amount of the Commitment. The facility fee shall accrue from the Closing Date until the Maturity Date and shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears on
each Applicable Payment Date. The Facility Fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Section 4 are not met. 
  
 (b) Lender’s Up Front Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender an up front fee in an amount $25,000. Such up front fee is
consideration for the Commitment by Lender under this Agreement and is fully earned on the date paid. The up front fee paid to Lender is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable. 
  
 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is
determined by KeyBank’s “prime rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated
on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to Lender than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall
not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on 

  

 - 26 - 

 
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

  
 2.09 Making Payments. 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder
shall be made to Lender at Lender’s Office not later than the Requisite Time for such type of payment. All payments received after such Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in
immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. 
  
 (b) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth
herein, Lender shall promptly make any payments to Borrower by crediting the Designated Deposit Account. 
  
 (c) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees. 
  
 2.10 Collateral. Borrower’s Obligations are secured by or will be secured by the General Security Agreement and the Stock Pledge
Agreements. 
  
 SECTION 3 
 TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 
  
 3.01 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income,
(ii) franchise taxes imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes) by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which Lender is organized or maintains a lending office; (iii) any penalties, interest, costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs) imposed on Lender arising from the assertion by any Governmental Authority that Lender did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan
Document to Lender, (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), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (D) within 30 days
after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
  

 - 27 - 

 (b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes
and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan
Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) If Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Lender, at the time interest
is paid, such additional amount that Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) taxes imposed on or measured by net income) Lender would have received if such deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made. 
  
 (d) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by Lender; (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto; and (iii) amounts payable under Section
3.01(c); provided that (A) Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Lender for any penalties described in clause (ii) above to the extent Lender (1) had actual knowledge of the existence of the tax, interest, or expense, the non-payment
of which gave rise to such penalties, and (2) failed to give the Borrower notice of such tax, interest or expense within ten (10) Business Days after Lender received actual knowledge of the existence thereof; and (B) nothing contained in this
subsection (d) shall be deemed to imply any obligation on the part of Lender to provide the Borrower with the notice of any such tax, penalty, interest or expense. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date Lender
makes a demand therefor. 
  
 3.02 Illegality. If
Lender determines that Laws have made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Offshore Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority
of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Offshore Rate, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any obligation of Lender
to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from Lender, prepay or Convert all
Offshore Rate Loans of Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore
Rate Loans. Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to Lender. 
  
 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If, in connection with any
Request for Extension of Credit involving any Offshore Rate Loan, Lender determines that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the requested
Offshore Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not 

  

 - 28 - 

 
exist for determining the underlying interest rate for such Offshore Rate Loan, or (c) such underlying interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to Lender of funding such Offshore Rate Loan, Lender will promptly notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of all Lender to make or maintain such Offshore Rate Loan shall be suspended until Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of
such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans or, failing that, be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
  
 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 

 
 (a) If Lender determines that any Laws announced after the date hereof:

  
 (i) impose on Lender any Tax, duty, or other
charge with respect to any Offshore Rate Loans or its obligation to make Offshore Rate Loans; 
  
 (ii) change the basis on which Taxes are imposed on any amounts payable to Lender under this Agreement in respect of any Offshore Rate
Loans; 
  
 (iii) impose or modify any reserve,
special deposit, or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement utilized in the determination of the Offshore Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of,
Lender (including the Commitment); or 
  
 (iv)
impose on Lender or on the offshore Dollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Offshore
Rate Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by Lender under this Agreement with respect to any Offshore Rate Loans, then from time to time upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
Lender for such increased cost or reduction (except to the extent that such increased cost or reduction is an amount subject to Section 3.01, in which case the sum received or receivable by Lender shall be increased in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.01). 
  
 (b) If Lender determines that any change in
or the interpretation of any Laws announced after the date hereof have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or compliance by Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling Lender as a consequence of
Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to compensate Lender for any change in the rate of applicable taxes imposed on or measured by net income.

  

 - 29 - 

 3.05 Breakfunding Costs. Upon demand of Lender from time to time, Borrower shall promptly
compensate Lender for and hold Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
  
 (a) any Continuation, Conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
  
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, Continue or Convert any Loan other than a
Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; 
  
 including
any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Borrower shall
also pay any customary administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the foregoing. 
  
 3.06 Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. 
  
 (a) If Lender is claiming compensation under this Section 3, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. For purposes of this
Section 3, Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Offshore Rate Loan at the Offshore Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore Dollar interbank market, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so
funded. 
  
 (b) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any amount
under this Section 3 which arose prior to the date which is 180 days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the date which is 180 days preceding the date of such demand; provided, however, that in the event any Law
is enacted that retroactively imposes any cost or charge upon Lender that would otherwise be a basis for compensation under Sections 3.01 through 3.05, Lender may make a demand for such compensation through and including the date which is 180 days
after the date upon which such Law takes effect.

expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.06 No
Default. Neither Borrower nor any its Subsidiaries are in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is

 5.09 Margin Regulations; Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. 
  
 (a) Borrower is not engaged nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now
and from time to time hereafter in effect. No part of the proceeds of any Extensions of Credit hereunder will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” “margin stock” as so defined or for any purpose which violates, or
which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulations U or X of such Board of Governors. 
  
 (b) Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) is a “holding company,” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding

received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the 

  

 - 34 - 

 
IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Borrower
and each ERISA Affiliate have 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. There has been no prohibited transaction (which is not otherwise exempt under Section 4975 of the Code) or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules under ERISA with respect to any Plan that has or could reasonably be

knowledge of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and, to the best of knowledge of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would
result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

  
 5.11 Intangible Assets. Borrower and its
Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intangible assets that are used in the conduct of their respective businesses as now operated or could
obtain such right without causing a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such items, to the best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right or intangible asset of any other Person to the
extent that such conflict has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.12 Compliance With Laws. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all material Laws that are
applicable such Person. 
  
 5.13 Environmental
Compliance. Borrower and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their
respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Borrower has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and claims do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 5.14 Insurance. The properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries
are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of Borrower, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar

mitigating and managing risks associated with such matters and has not relied on any swap counterparty or any Affiliate of any swap counterparty in determining whether to enter into any Swap Contract. 
  
 5.16 Disclosure. No statement, information, report,
representation, or warranty made by Borrower in any Loan Document or furnished to Lender in connection with any Loan Document contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, when viewed together with Borrower’s periodic reports filed under
the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading.

 (i) (i) A
final judgment against Borrower is entered for the payment of money in excess of the Threshold Amount, or any non-monetary final judgment is entered against Borrower which has a Material Adverse Effect and such judgment is not stayed within thirty
(30) days.

Issuer, provided the outstanding amount of such outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the Threshold Amount. 
  
 8.02 Certain Financial Covenant Defaults. In the event that, after taking into account any extraordinary charge to earnings taken or to be
taken as of the end of any fiscal period of Borrower (a “Charge”), and if solely by virtue of such Charge, there would exist an Event of Default due to breach of Section 7.12 as of such fiscal period end date, such Event of Default

 - 48 - 

 
expressly provided herein, without the approval in writing of Lender, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent shall be
effective. 
  
 9.02 Transmission and Effectiveness of

 (b) Reliance by Lender. Lender shall be entitled to rely and act on any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i)
such communications (A) were not made in a manner specified herein, (B) were incomplete or (C) were not preceded or followed by any other notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any subsequent
related communications provided for herein. Borrower shall indemnify Lender from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of relying on any communications permitted herein. 
  
 (c) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Documents and agreements delivered from time to time in
connection with the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as hardcopies with manual signatures and shall
be binding on all Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Lender. Lender may also request that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed hardcopy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such
manually-signed hardcopy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile documents or signatures. 
  
 9.03 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents, and the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, any Loan Documents, and any
other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including all reasonable Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any refinancing, restructuring, reorganization

 - 49 - 

 
or attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights under any Loan Documents, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, or in
connection with any refinancing, or restructuring of any such documents in the nature of a “workout” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, including Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable
search, filing, and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Lender. Any amount payable by Borrower
under this Section shall bear interest from the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date of demand for payment
at the Default Rate, unless waived by Lender. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of all Obligations. 
  
 9.04 Binding Effect; Assignment. 
  
 (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and
their respective successors and assigns, except that, Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of Lender and any such attempted assignment shall be void. Lender
may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the
rights of Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge. 
  
 (b) Lender may from time to time, without the consent of any other Person, grant participations to one or more other Person of all or any portion of its Commitment or Extensions of Credit; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participation agreement shall not restrict an increase in the
Commitment, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby, and (iv) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents; provided,
however, that Lender may, in any agreement with a participant, give such participant the right to consent to any matter which (A) extends the Maturity Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such
participant, (B) reduces the rate of interest owing to such participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant, or (C) reduces the amount of any installment of principal owing to such participant. 
  
 9.05 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender
or any assignee or participant of Lender or any Affiliate thereof (each, a “Proceeding Party”) provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Proceeding Party is authorized at any time
and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being waived by Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to proceed directly, by right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower and
its Subsidiaries which may be in the hands of such Proceeding Party (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Proceeding Party to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower) and apply such assets against the Obligations, irrespective of whether such Proceeding Party shall have made any demand therefor and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off 

  

 - 50 - 

 
and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

  
 9.06 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
  
 (a) No failure by Lender to exercise, and no delay by Lender in exercising,
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms and conditions of Section 4 may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Extension of
Credit without prejudicing Lender’s rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Extension of Credit. 
  
 (b) The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein or therein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges
provided by Law. Any decision by Lender not to require payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method on any occasion shall in
no way limit or be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to require full payment thereof, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion. 
  
 (c) The terms and conditions of Section 9 are for the sole benefit of Lender.

  
 9.07 Usury. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest and fees paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Lender
shall receive interest or a fee in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest or fee shall be applied to the principal of the Outstanding Obligations or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining
whether the interest or a fee contracted for, charged, or received by 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. 

 
 9.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or
more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
  
 9.09 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any
other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each
Loan Document was 

  

 - 51 - 

 
drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in
accordance with the fair meaning thereof. 
  
 9.10
Nature of Lender’s Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by Lender pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make Lender a partnership, an association, a joint
venture or other entity, either with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower. 
  
 9.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any Loan Document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery thereof but shall terminate the later of (a) when the Commitment is terminated and (b) when no Obligations remain outstanding under any Loan Document. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf. 
  
 9.12 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Lender and its respective Affiliates, directors,

representation to anyone with respect thereto by Lender; 
  
 (c)
The relationship between Borrower and Lender is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender; Lender shall not under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with
Borrower or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or its Affiliates; Lender does not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform

prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability

connection with any claims asserted by or against Lender or any of its Representatives; and (e) pursuant to any subpoena or any similar legal process so long as Borrower is, or has been, given notice of such legal process and the opportunity to seek
a protective order. For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (x) is in Lender’s possession prior to its being provided by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, provided
that such information is not known by Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with, or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality to, Borrower, (y) is or becomes publicly available (other than through a breach hereof
by Lender), or (z) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis, provided that the source of such information was not known by Lender to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or contractual obligation of confidentiality
with respect to such information. 
  
 9.17 Further
Assurances. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at their expense and without expense to Lender, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as Lender from time to time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto Lender

any Lien granted in this Pledge Agreement) in all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral. 
  
 3. DELIVERY OF COLLATERAL AND VOTING. 
  
 3.1 Collateral Delivery. 
  
 (a) Initial Delivery of Collateral. Concurrently with Debtor’s execution of this Pledge Agreement and delivery
of this Pledge Agreement to the Lender, Debtor shall deliver physical possession to the Lender of every stock certificate, document, instrument and chattel paper which constitutes Collateral and obtain the fully executed Consent in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B. Any such items of Collateral that are certificated securities shall be duly endorsed in blank without restriction or with a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly endorsed in blank
without restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed. To the extent that Debtor delivers to Lender one or more stock certificates each of which (“Foreign Subsidiary Certificate”) reflects an equity interest in any
Foreign Subsidiary in excess (“Excess Equity Interest”) of the percentage set forth in Section 1.2(c) above (“Designated Percentage Interest”), Lender will be entitled to hold such Foreign Subsidiary Certificate to
reflect and perfect its security interest in 66.66% of the Equity Interest in the Foreign Subsidiary, unless and until Debtor delivers to Lender a (i) replacement certificate reflecting the Designated Percentage Interest; and (ii) an acceptable
legal opinion from a law firm reasonably acceptable to Lender that the replacement certificate was properly issued and is fully paid for and properly reflects the Designated Percentage Interest in the subject entity and may be delivered to Lender as
collateral. (Such replacement certificates when delivered or provided herein as referred to as the “Replacement Foreign Subsidiary Certificate.”) 
  
 (b) Future Delivery of Collateral. If at any time after the date of this Pledge
Agreement, Debtor obtains possession of any certificate or instrument constituting or representing any item of Collateral, (i) Debtor shall immediately deliver or arrange for the immediate delivery of such certificate or instrument to the Lender;
(ii) to the extent such item represents a certificated security, Debtor shall duly endorse such certificate in blank without restriction or deliver a duly executed assignment separate from certificate (stock power) duly endorsed in blank without
restriction and with all necessary transfer tax stamps affixed; and (iii) shall hold such Collateral separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for the benefit of the Lender until paid or delivered to the
Lender. 
  
 (c) Uncertificated
Securities. If any item of Collateral is an uncertificated security, Debtor shall either (i) procure the issuance of a security certificate to represent such Collateral and endorse and deliver such certificate as required by Section 3.1(a)
above; or (ii) cause the issuer thereof to register the Lender as the registered owner of such uncertificated security; or (iii) cause the issuer thereof to enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender,

  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 3 of 14	 	 

 among the Lender, the registered owner of such security, and the issuer to the effect that the issuer
will comply with instructions originated by the Lender without further consent by the registered owner; or (iv) cause the security to be credited to a securities account and execute an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Lender to permit
Lender to gain control of such asset. 
  
 3.2
Control. If any Collateral is not capable of being delivered, Debtor shall deliver to Lender such financing statements or other instruments as are deemed necessary by Lender to enable it to perfect its security interest in such
Collateral and obtain “control” or “possession” of such Collateral under applicable law. 
  
 3.3 Pledge under Foreign Law. To the extent that the pledge of the item of Collateral is governed by the laws of a
jurisdiction other than a state of the United States, Debtor shall, in lieu of compliance with the other provisions of this Section 3, enter into such agreements and documents as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the pledge of such Collateral
to Lender. 
  
 3.4 Voting.
Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Debtor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights and other consensual rights and powers with respect to the Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this
Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (a) Debtor shall not exercise any such right or power if, in Lender’s discretion, such action would have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or impair or
otherwise adversely effect the security interest or other rights of the Lender under this Pledge Agreement; and (b) Debtor shall not be permitted to trade, invest, or sell the Financial Assets (as such term is defined in Article 8 of the UCC)
without the prior written consent of the Lender. 
  
 4.
DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL REVENUES. 
  
 4.1 Delivery to Debtor; No Event of Default. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Revenues shall be retained by Debtor to the extent provided in Section 4.3 below. 

 
 4.2 Occurrence of Event of Default.
If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall have the right to hold and apply the Collateral Revenues as provided below.  
  
 4.3 Payment of Cash Dividends and Interest. Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Debtor shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends and interest payable in connection with the Collateral, except for the following, which are referred to as “Liquidation Dividends,” for (a) cash dividends paid or payable
in respect of any Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus, or paid-in capital of the issuer of such Collateral; and (b) cash paid, payable, or
otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Collateral. If at any time and for any reason Debtor receives any Collateral Revenues other than those that Debtor is entitled to receive under this
Section 4.3, Debtor (i) shall immediately deliver such Collateral Revenues to the Lender in the original form in which received by Debtor; (ii) shall execute and deliver to the Lender such documents of transfer respecting such Collateral Revenues as
the Lender may require, including an endorsement in blank of any certificate evidencing such Collateral Revenues; (iii) shall not commingle such Collateral Revenues with any of Debtor’s other funds or property; and (iv) shall hold such
Collateral Revenues separate and apart from Debtor’s other funds and property in an express trust for Lender until paid or delivered to the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Lender holds a Foreign Subsidiary
Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity Interest, Lender may receive and collect all Liquidation Dividends payable in connection with the entire Foreign Subsidiary Certificate. Lender shall refund to Debtor any Liquidation Dividends allocable to
the Excess Equity Interest.

 5. COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 
  
 5.1 Debtor’s Covenants.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the other Loan Documents (and subject to Section 15.11 below), Debtor hereby covenants and agrees that during the term hereof and until all Obligations are fully paid and performed: 

 
 (a) Liens. Except for the lien
provided to Lender, Debtor shall at all times keep the Collateral free of all Liens other than the security interest of the Lender or Liens (including tax Liens) in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such
Lien and other applicable law, have priority over any Lien granted under this Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (b) Further Assurances. Debtor shall deliver to Lender promptly or ensure that Lender promptly receives (i) all
Collateral that Debtor is obligated to deliver to the Lender under Section 3.1 above; (ii) all financing statements and all other documents that Lender deems necessary or desirable to evidence the transfer and pledge of the Collateral to Lender as
provided in this Pledge Agreement; (iii) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Pledge Agreement, all Collateral Revenues; (iv) such specific acknowledgments, assignments, stock or bond powers, Regulation U Statement of Purpose forms, and
other documents as the Lender may request relating to the Collateral; and (v) copies of records and other reports relating to the Collateral in such form and detail and at such times as the Lender may from time to time require. 
  
 (c) Changes in Collateral. Debtor shall
give prompt notice to Lender of any threatened or asserted dispute or claim with respect to the Collateral, which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Collateral. 
  
 (d) Subsidiaries. If there is a material
recapitalization or restructure or acquisition of the equity interest in any subsidiaries of Debtor, Debtor shall take such action as is necessary so that Lender shall have and retain (i) 100% of the equity interest in all subsidiaries wholly-owned
by Debtor and organized under the laws of the United States or any state or jurisdiction thereof, and (ii) 66.66% of the equity interests of any subsidiary that acquires the stock of Scala Business Solutions N.V. or, if such stock is acquired by
Debtor, then 66.66% of the equity interests of Scala Business Solutions N.V. 
  
 (e) Perfection. From time to time upon Lender’s request, Debtor (i) shall execute and deliver to Lender, and give, file or record, at Debtor’s expense, all notices and other documents
that Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order for the Lender to maintain a first priority (subject to Liens (including tax Liens) in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable
law, have priority over any Lien granted under this Pledge Agreement) perfected security interest in the Collateral; and (ii) shall perform such other acts, and execute and deliver to Lender such additional assignments, agreements, instruments and
other documents, as Lender may request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or the Lender’s exercise of any or all of its rights, powers and remedies under this Pledge Agreement. 
  
 (f) Litigation Cooperation. Debtor, at
its expense, shall appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may materially and adversely affect Debtor’s title to all or part of the Collateral or Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. 
  
 (g) Changes. Without prior written
notice to Lender, Debtor will not change its name, mailing address, or its state of incorporation. 
  
 5.2 Debtor’s Representations. Debtor represents and warrants to Lender as follows: 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 5 of 14	 	 

 (a) Ownership of Collateral. Debtor is the sole legal and beneficial
owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, except for the security interest in favor of Lender under this Pledge Agreement and Liens currently existing in favor of any foreign governmental authority, which to the best of Debtor’s
knowledge do not currently exist. 
  
 (b)
Status of Collateral. All of the Collateral consisting of securities has been duly and validly issued and is fully paid for and non-assessable. Except for Collateral that Debtor has previously disclosed to Lender as
“restricted securities” or securities held by an “affiliate” (as such terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), including Collateral consisting of the stock of any subsidiary of Debtor, or as
may be specifically stated to the Lender in writing prior to the date of this Pledge Agreement, all of the Collateral is transferable without prior notice to, or approval or consent from, any person or governmental or regulatory authority, and there
exists no condition or restriction or restrictive legend to or affecting the transfer of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Authority to Pledge. Debtor has full rights and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby
specified; and (except for approvals which have already been obtained) no consent of any governmental body or regulatory authority is necessary for the rights created hereunder to be valid. 
  
 (d) Continuing Warranties. Debtor’s
warranties and representations set forth in this Section 5 and in any exhibit hereto shall be true and correct at the time of execution of this Pledge Agreement by Debtor and at the time Debtor requests or receives any advance under the Credit
Agreement.  
  
 (e)
Subsidiaries. The assets described in Exhibit A as of the time of closing are Epicor Software (UK) Limited. 
  
 (f) Warranties and Representations Cumulative. The warranties, representations and agreements set forth herein shall
be cumulative and in addition to any and all other warranties, representations and agreements which Debtor shall give, or cause to be given, to Lenders, either now or hereafter. 
  
 6. DUTY OF LENDER TO COOPERATE WITH READJUSTMENTS. Lender agrees to cooperate with Debtor to maintain
the percentage interests set forth in 5.1(e) by adjusting the outstanding equity interests pledged hereunder in the event there is a recapitalization, restructure or acquisition of equity interests by Debtor relating to any of its subsidiaries.

  
 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of
any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under this Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Lender. 
  
 7.1 Breach of Pledge Agreement. (i) Any representation or warranty hereunder proves to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made or deemed made, (ii) Debtor breaches any provision of this Pledge Agreement which cannot be cured or (iii) the breach by Debtor of any other provision of this Pledge Agreement that remains uncured for a period of thirty
(30) days. 
  
 7.2 Breach of Other
Agreements. The occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 7.3 Lien Priority. Lender shall cease to have a valid and perfected first priority (subject to Liens (including tax
Liens) in favor of any Governmental Authority which pursuant to statute or law creating such Lien and other applicable law, have priority over the Lien granted in this Pledge Agreement) lien upon any material item of the Collateral purported to be
covered by such security interest.

	 	Page 6 of 14	 	 

 7.4 Seizure of Assets. If all or any material item(s) of the
Collateral is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon and such action can reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 8. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. The exercise of remedies hereunder shall be made by
Lender upon the terms and conditions contained herein. If an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing and not been cured or waived in accordance with the terms hereof or the Credit Agreement, Lender shall have the following rights and
powers and may, at Lender’s option, without notice of its election and without demand to the extent permitted by Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, do any one or more of the following, all of which are hereby authorized by Debtor:

  
 8.1 UCC Rights. The
Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under all other applicable laws. 
  
 8.2 Acceleration. Lender may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable. 
  
 8.3 Extensions of Credit. Lender may
discontinue advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Debtor in connection with the Credit Agreement or under any other document or agreement between Lender and Debtor. 
  
 8.4 Assembly of Collateral. The Lender may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral
and make it available to the Lender at a place designated by the Lender. 
  
 8.5 Possession of Collateral. The Lender, without a breach of the peace, may enter any of the premises of Debtor and search for, take possession of, remove, keep or store any or all of the
Collateral. If the Lender seeks to take possession of any or all of the Collateral by court process, Debtor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court for such purpose without regard to the adequacy of the
security for the Obligations. 
  
 8.6
Foreclose on Collateral. The Lender shall have the right to sell and dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or
for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Lender may deem satisfactory. The Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized
market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same, absolutely free from any right or claim of whatsoever kind. The Lender is authorized, at any such sale,
if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Collateral to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the
distribution or sale of any of the Collateral. Upon any such sale the Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold
free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind of Debtor or any other Person, including any equity or right of redemption of Debtor, who, to the extent permitted by law, specifically waives any now existing or hereafter acquired rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal. The Lender shall give Debtor: (i) ten (10) days written notice of its intention to make any such public or private sale; or (ii) two (2) days notice of any sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange.
Such notice, in case of a public sale, shall state the time and place fixed for such sale, and, in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on
which the Collateral, or the portion thereof being so sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Lender
may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Lender may determine. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The
Lender may, without notice or publication, postpone any public or private sale or cause the same to be postponed from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 7 of 14	 	 

 such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so postponed. In case of any sale of
all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Lender until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Lender shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of
such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. To the extent that Lender holds any Foreign Subsidiary Certificate which reflects an Excess Equity
Interest, Lender may foreclose on such certificate in any manner permitted by applicable law or as specified in this Section 8 as regards any item of collateral. Upon any sale of such Certificate, Lender will release to Debtor any consideration
received in return for the sale of the Excess Equity Interest. 
  
 8.7 Judicial Action. The Lender, in its discretion, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose its security interests in the Collateral under a judgment or decree of a court
or courts of competent jurisdiction. Debtor agrees that any disposition of Collateral by way of a private placement or other method which, in the opinion of the Lender, is required or advisable under federal and state securities laws is commercially
reasonable. 
  
 8.8 Collateral
Revenues. Debtor’s rights, if any, to receive any Collateral Revenues shall automatically cease, and all Collateral Revenues shall be paid to the Lender. Any and all Collateral Revenues received by the Lender may be retained by the
Lender as additional Collateral or, in the Lender’s discretion, may be applied toward the satisfaction of the Obligations. In such event the Lender shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for
payment of money made payable to Debtor representing any dividend or other distribution payable or distributable in respect of any Collateral. 
  
 8.9 Information. Without limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be
commercially reasonable for the Lender to direct any prospective purchaser of any or all of the Collateral to Debtor to ascertain all information concerning the status of the Collateral. 
  
 8.10 Commercially Reasonable Actions by Lender. Debtor acknowledges that it may be
impracticable or extremely difficult to effect a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain restrictions contained in state and federal securities laws, as now or hereafter in effect. Because of such restrictions, and without
limiting the generality of this Section 8, it shall conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable for the Lender to do any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) To resort to one or more private sales to a single purchaser or a restricted group of purchasers who may be obligated to agree,
among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof; and 
  
 (b) To impose restrictions and conditions with respect to (i) the ability of a purchaser or bidder to bear the economic risk of an
investment in the Collateral; (ii) the knowledge and experience of business and financial matters of a purchaser or bidder; (iii) the access of a purchaser or bidder to information regarding the Collateral; and (iv) such other matters as the Lender
determines to be necessary or advisable to comply with any state or federal securities laws. 
  
 8.11 No Registration Required. Debtor acknowledges that some or all of the conditions and restrictions which may be
imposed by the Lender pursuant to Section 8.10 above may result in reduced proceeds being received upon the sale of the Collateral than would otherwise have been obtained. The Lender shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any or all of the
Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit registration by the issuer of any securities comprising the Collateral, even if such registration would be possible under applicable state and federal securities law. 
  
 8.12 Other Procedures. The Lender’s
disposition of any or all of the Collateral in any manner which differs from the procedures specified in this Section 8 shall not be deemed to be commercially unreasonable. 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 8 of 14	 	 

 8.13 Foreclosure. If the Lender has reduced its claims for breach of
any of the obligations to judgment, the lien of any levy which may be made on any or all of the Collateral by virtue of any execution based upon such judgment shall relate back to the date of the Lender’s perfection of its security interest in
such Collateral. A judicial sale pursuant to such execution shall constitute a foreclosure of the Lender’s security interest by judicial procedure, and the Lender may purchase at such sale and thereafter hold the Collateral free of all rights
of Debtor therein. 
  
 8.14 Discharge
Claims. The Lender may discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances and taxes affecting any or all of the Collateral and take such other actions as the Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the
Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein. The Lender, without releasing Debtor or any other Person from any of the Obligations, may perform any of the Obligations in such manner and to such extent as the Lender determines to be
necessary or appropriate to protect the Collateral and the Lender’s security interest therein. 
  
 8.15 Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral by the Lender shall be applied in
the following order of priority: 
  
 (a)
First, to all liabilities, obligations, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement, including the costs and expenses of
retaking, holding, and selling any or all of the Collateral; 
  
 (b) Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order and amounts as the Lender may determine in its discretion; 
  
 (c) Third, to (i) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the Collateral if written demand
therefor is received by the Lender before distribution of any such proceeds; and (ii) to the satisfaction of any subordinate attachment lien or execution lien pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 701.040 of the Code of Civil Procedure if notice of
the levy of attachment or execution is received by the Lender before distribution of any such proceeds. If requested by the Lender, the holder of a subordinate security interest in the Collateral shall furnish the Lender with proof of its interest
in the Collateral acceptable to the Lender, and unless such holder does so, the Lender shall have no obligation to comply with such holder’s demand; and 
  
 (d) Fourth, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to Debtor. 
  
 8.16 Voting Rights. The Lender may exercise any or all warrants, options, conversion
rights, puts, calls, voting rights, and other rights with respect to any or all of the Collateral (collectively the “Voting and Stock Rights”) in such manner and to such extent as the Lender in its discretion determines to be
necessary or appropriate, and Debtor’s rights and authority to exercise the Voting and Stock Rights shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Pledge Agreement, the Lender shall have no obligation to exercise any or all Voting and Stock Rights, and the Lender shall have no liability or responsibility of any kind to Debtor or any other party for the Lender’s exercise
or delay or failure to exercise any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights. In connection with the Lender’s exercise of any or all of the Voting and Stock Rights, the Lender shall have the right (a) to deposit or surrender control of any or all
of the Collateral to any third Person; (b) to accept other property in exchange for the Collateral; and (c) to take such other actions as the Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate. 
  
 9. LIABILITY FOR DEFICIENCY. Debtor shall at all times
remain liable for any deficiency remaining on the Obligations, is liable after any disposition of any or all of the Collateral and after the Lender’s application of any proceeds to the Obligations. 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 9 of 14	 	 

 10. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Debtor irrevocably appoints the Lender, with full power of
substitution, as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power, in the Lender’s own name or in the name of Debtor: 
  
 10.1 At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to do any or all of the following:

  
 (a) Endorse any checks, drafts, money
orders, notes, and other instruments or documents representing or evidencing the Collateral; 
  
 (b) Pay or discharge claims, demands, liens, security interests, encumbrances, or taxes affecting or threatening the Collateral;

  
 (c) Receive payment of all Collateral
Revenues; 
  
 (d) Commence, prosecute or
defend any suit, action or proceeding relating to any or all of the Collateral; 
  
 (e) Instruct any accountant or other third Person having custody or control of any Collateral Records to deliver such records to
the Lender; and 
  
 (f) Sell, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to, or otherwise deal with the Collateral as though the Lender were the owner thereof for all purposes. 
  
 10.2 To execute any security agreement, assignment, notice, and all other documents which the Lender, in its discretion, determines
to be necessary or appropriate in order to (a) perfect or maintain the Lender’s security interest in the Collateral; (b) exercise any or all of the Lender’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (c) to consummate or effectuate any of the
transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement. 
  
 11.
WAIVERS. Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of demand, dishonor, protest and nonpayment, and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default under,
and enforcement of the Obligations. Debtor waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the enforcement of any of the Obligations to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
  
 12. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. The Lender’s rights and
remedies under this Pledge Agreement are cumulative with and in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Lender may have in connection with the Loans. The Lender may exercise any one or more of its rights and remedies under this Pledge
Agreement at the Lender’s option and in such order as the Lender may determine in its discretion. The Lender may exercise its rights under this Pledge Agreement from time to time and at such times as the Lender may determine. 
  
 13. ACTIONS. The Lender shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to commence, appear in, or defend any action or proceeding which affects or which the Lender determines may affect (a) the Collateral; (b) Debtor’s or the Lender’s rights or obligations under the Loan Documents; (c)
Debtor’s or the Lender’s rights under this Pledge Agreement; or (d) the Loans. Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents, the Lender shall at all times have the right to take any and all actions which
the Lender in its discretion determines to be necessary or appropriate to protect the Lender’s interest in connection with the Loan. 
  
 14. INDEMNITY. Debtor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and Lenders and their officers, employees, and Lenders
against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral, and (b) all losses or expenses in any
way suffered, incurred, or 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 10 of 14	 	 

 paid by Lender and Lenders as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to the
transactions between Lenders and Lenders and Debtor under this Pledge Agreement or the Collateral (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expenses), except for losses arising from or out of Lender or Lender’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 15.
GENERAL. 
  
 15.1
Taxes and Other Expenses Regarding the Collateral. If Debtor fails to pay promptly when due to any person or entity, monies which Debtor is required to pay by reason of any provision in this Pledge Agreement, Lender may, but need
not, pay the same and charge Debtor’s account therefor, and Debtor shall promptly reimburse Lender therefor. Any payments made by Lender shall not constitute: (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future, or (b) a waiver by
Lender of any default under this Pledge Agreement. Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be
conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. 
  
 15.2 Notices. Any notice, demand or request required hereunder shall be made in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 15.3 Release of Collateral. Lender shall promptly file UCC termination statements and
any other instruments as necessary upon any Disposition by Debtor of any items or item of Collateral, to the extent such Disposition is permitted under the Credit Agreement. 
  
 15.4 Termination. At such time as Debtor shall completely satisfy all of the
obligations secured hereunder, Lender shall execute and deliver to Debtor all instruments as may be necessary or proper to reinvest in Debtor full title to the property assigned hereunder, subject to any disposition thereof which may have been made
by Lender pursuant hereto. 
  
 15.5
Course of Dealing. No course of dealing, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. 
  
 15.6 Amendment. This Pledge Agreement
may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and the Lender. 
  
 15.7 Agreement Binding; Assignment. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Debtor and Lender. This Pledge Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Debtor may not assign this Pledge Agreement, or any rights hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely
void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Debtor from its obligations to Lender. Lender and each Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in,
Lender’s or such Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder to the extent and in the manner provided for in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information that Lender now has
or hereafter may have relating to Debtor or Debtor’s business, subject to Debtor’s reasonable confidentiality requirements and the provisions of Section 15.3 hereof. 
  
 15.8 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of the Loan Documents.

  
 15.9 Article and Section
Headings. Article and section headings and article and section numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each article and section applies equally to this
entire Pledge Agreement. 
  

					
	 Stock Pledge Agreement
	 	Page 11 of 14	 	 

 15.10 Construction. Neither this Pledge Agreement nor any
uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Debtor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Pledge Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
  
 15.11 Conflict or Credit Agreement Modifications. To the extent that there is an explicit conflict between the terms
of the Credit Agreement and this Pledge Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control. Any future changes or modifications to the Credit Agreement, shall apply to and modify this Pledge Agreement, to the extent that such change or
modification would reasonably be construed to apply to this Pledge Agreement. 
  
 15.12 Performance of Covenants. Debtor shall perform all of its covenants under this Pledge Agreement at its sole cost and expense. 
  
 15.13 Term. This Pledge Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as long as
any of the Obligations are outstanding and until terminated by written agreement of the Lender. 
  
 15.14 Severability. Each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this
Pledge Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of specific provision. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if the Lender’s security interest in any part of the Collateral is held to be unlawful,
void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason, such defect shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions of this Pledge Agreement. 
  
 15.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are entered into for the sole
protection and benefit of Lender, Debtor and Lender, as applicable, and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No other Person shall have any rights or causes of action under the Loan Documents. 
  
 15.16 Counterparts. This Pledge
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute the same instrument. 
  
 15.17 No Waiver By Lender. No waiver by the Lender or any of its rights or remedies in connection with the
Obligations or any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender. 
  
 16. AMENDMENT. This Pledge Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Debtor and the Lender. 
  
 17. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS OF DEBTOR. Notwithstanding the
rights given to Debtor pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1479 and 2822 (and any amendments or successors thereto), to designate how payments will be applied, Debtor irrevocably waives such rights, and the Lender shall have the right in its
discretion to determine the order and method of the application of payments received from Debtor or from the sale or disposition of the Collateral and to revise such application prospectively or retroactively at its discretion (notwithstanding any
entry by the Lender on its books). Debtor waives any right to require the Lender (a) to proceed against any Person; (b) to exhaust any Collateral; or (c) to pursue any remedy in the Lender’s power in any order or whatsoever. 
  
 18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The Loan Documents contain the
entire agreement between the Lender and Debtor concerning the subject matter of the Loan Documents and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, statements, understandings, terms, conditions, representations and warranties, whether oral or
written, made by the Lender or Debtor concerning the Loan.

                            REGENCY AFFILIATES, INC.

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of October 1, 2003
(the "Grant Date"), is between Regency Affiliates, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and Errol Glasser (the "Participant"), relating to options to
purchase shares of Stock, which options are granted under the Regency
Affiliates, Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). Capitalized
terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Agreement shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

1. Grant of Stock Option, Option Price and Term.

      (a) The Company grants to the Participant a Non-Qualified Stock Option
(the "Stock Option") to purchase 2,500 shares of Stock of the Company ("Option
Shares") at a price of $1.53 per share ("Option Price"), subject to the
provisions of the Plan and the terms and conditions herein.

      (b) The term of this Stock Option shall be a period of 10 years from the
Grant Date unless earlier terminated as provided herein and in the Plan (the
"Option Period"). During the Option Period, subject to the provisions contained
herein and in the Plan, the Stock Option shall be fully vested and exercisable
on the Grant Date.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Participant incurs a
termination of the provision of services for any reason whatsoever as a director
of the Company, the provisions of Section 4 of the Plan relating to the
expiration of the Stock Option upon a termination of the provision of services
shall apply.

      (c) The Stock Option granted hereunder is designated as a non-qualified
stock option which is not transferable by the Participant except to a Family
Member, as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, or by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

2. Exercise.

      The Stock Option shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime
only by the Participant (or his Representative), and after the Participant's
death only by a Representative. The Stock Option may only be exercised by the
delivery to the Company of a properly completed written notice, in form
satisfactory to the Committee, which notice shall specify the number of Option
Shares to be purchased and the aggregate Option Price for such shares, together
with payment in full of such aggregate Option Price. Payment shall only be made
as specified in the Plan. If any part of the payment of the Option Price is made
in shares of Stock, such shares shall be valued by using their Fair Market Value
as of the date of exercise of the Stock Option.

      The Stock Option may not be exercised unless there has been compliance
with all the preceding provisions of this Section 2, and, for all purposes of
this Agreement, the date of the exercise of the Stock Option shall be the date

upon which there is compliance with all such requirements. The Committee may
deny any method of exercise permitted hereunder if such method would result in
liability under Federal or state securities law to the Participant or the
Company or result in an expense charge to the Company.

3. Payment of Withholding Taxes.

      If the Company is obligated to withhold an amount on account of any tax
imposed as a result of the exercise of the Stock Option, the Participant shall
be required to pay such amount to the Company, as provided in the Plan. The
Participant acknowledges and agrees that he is responsible for the tax
consequences associated with the grant of the Stock Option and its exercise.

4. Changes in Company's Capital Structure.

      The existence of this Stock Option will not affect in any way the right or
authority of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize (a) any or all
adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business; (b) any merger or consolidation of
the Company's capital structure or its business; (c) any merger or consolidation
of the Company; (d) any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior
preference stock ahead of or affecting the Stock or the rights thereof; (e) the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (f) any sale or transfer of all or
any part of its assets or business; or (g) any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

      In the event of a Change in Control or other corporate restructuring
provided for in the Plan, the Participant shall have such rights, and the
Committee shall take such actions, as are provided for in the Plan.

5. Plan.

      The Stock Option is granted pursuant to the Plan, and the Stock Option and
this Agreement are in all respects governed by the Plan and subject to all of
the terms and provisions thereof, whether such terms and provisions are
incorporated in this Agreement by reference or are expressly cited.

6. Rights as a Director.

      No provision of this Agreement or of the Stock Option granted hereunder
shall give the Participant any right to continue as a director of the Company or
any Affiliates, create any inference as to the length of directorship of the
Participant, affect the right of the Company or any Affiliates to remove the
Participant as a director of the Company, with or without Cause, or give the
Participant any right to participate in any welfare or benefit plan or other
program (other than the Plan) of the Company or any Affiliate.

7. Governing Law.

      This Agreement and the Stock Option granted hereunder shall be governed
by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware (other than its laws respecting choice of law), except to the extent
Federal laws would be mandatorily applicable.

8. Waiver; Cumulative Rights.

      The failure or delay of either party to require performance by the other
party of any provision hereof shall not affect its right to require performance
of such provision unless and until such performance has been waived in writing.
Each and every right hereunder is cumulative and may be exercised in part or in
whole from time to time.

9. Notices.

      Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give
the other shall be in writing and may be delivered personally or by mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the Secretary of the Company, at its then
corporate headquarters, and the Participant at his address as shown on the
Company's records, or to such other address as the Participant, by notice to the
Company, may designate in writing from time to time.
