balance of $2,500,000, and (ii) a Tranche B Term Loan in the

(b)                                 The

consummation of any Sale, and (ii) in part from time to time in the event
and to the extent of 33% of any and all Qualified Proceeds received by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary from time to time. 
With respect to any prepayment under the foregoing clause (ii), same

Borrower shall pay the Lender interest on the principal balance of the Term
Loans at the rate(s) per annum as in effect from time to time in
accordance with the Term Notes.  Such
interest shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar
month and on the Term Loans Maturity Date, and shall be computed on the daily
unpaid balance of each Term Loan, based on a three hundred sixty (360) day
year, counting the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(d)                                 Unless
sooner due and payable by reason of an Event of Default hereunder having
occurred, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender all of the then-outstanding Obligations
in respect of the Term Loans on the Term Loans Maturity Date.

 

(e)                                  The

Note of the Borrower payable to the Lender or registered assigns, the Tranche B
Term Loan shall be evidenced by a secured Amended and Restated Term Note of the
Borrower payable to the Lender or registered assigns, and the Tranche C

order to induce the Borrower to redeem the Original Warrant and issue the
Tranche C Term Note, the Lender hereby represents and warrants to the
Borrower that (i) the Lender is a limited liability company duly formed,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) the
Lender has full power and authority to sell the Original Warrant to the
Borrower hereunder, and such sale has been duly authorized by all necessary
company action on the part of the Lender, (iii) the Lender is sole legal
and beneficial owner and holder of Original Warrant, free and clear of any and
all liens, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or other adverse claims or
interests of any kind whatsoever, and (iv) the sale of the Original
Warrant to the Borrower hereunder does not constitute a breach or violation of,
or conflict with, any other agreements or commitments to which the Lender is a
party or by which the Lender is bound, or require the Lender to obtain the
consent of any other Person.  The Lender
makes no other representations or warranties with respect to Original Warrant
or the value thereof, and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that it has formed
its own independent determination of the terms and conditions of its purchase
of the Original Warrant hereunder.

 

Section 2.03.  Fees and
Premiums.

 

(a)                                  The
Borrower shall pay the Closing Fees to the Lender simultaneously with the
funding of the incremental portion of the Tranche B Term Loan, and the
exchange of the 

 

12

 

Original Warrant for the Tranche C Term Note, on the Closing
Date.  The Closing Fees shall be deemed
fully earned on the Closing Date, and shall not be refundable in whole or in
part and shall not be subject to reduction or set-off under any circumstances.

 

(b)                                 In
the event of any prepayment of all or any portion of the Tranche B Term Loan at
any time prior to February 22, 2010, in addition to the payment of the
subject principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest thereon, the Borrower
shall be required to pay to the Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal
to two (2%) percent of the principal amount being prepaid; provided, however,
that no such prepayment premium shall be required in respect of any mandatory
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(c)                                  Payments

any payment is received other than by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, such payment shall be subject to three (3) Business Days’ clearance
prior to being credited to the Obligations for interest calculation purposes.

 

Section 2.04.  Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower shall utilize the proceeds of
incremental additional Tranche B Term Loan to finance business
acquisitions and for working capital and other general corporate purposes of
the Borrower.

 

Section 2.05.  Further Obligations.  With respect to all Obligations for which the
interest rate is not otherwise specified herein or in the Term Notes or
applicable Loan Documents (whether such Obligations arise hereunder, pursuant
to the Notes or Security Documents, or otherwise), such Obligations shall bear
interest at the rate(s) in effect from time to time pursuant to the Notes.

 

Section 2.06.  Application of Payments.  All amounts paid to or received by the Lender
in respect of the Obligations from whatever source (whether from the Borrower,
any Subsidiary pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, any realization upon any
Collateral, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement
or otherwise directed by the Borrower with respect to any particular payment
(unless an Event of Default shall then be continuing, in which event the Lender
may disregard the Borrower’s direction), be applied (a) first, to
reimburse the Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the
Lender which are reimbursable to the Lender in accordance with this Agreement,
the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) next, to any accrued
but unpaid fees or prepayment premiums, (c) next, to unpaid accrued
interest on the Tranche A Term Loan, (d) next, to unpaid accrued interest
on the Tranche B Term Loan, (e) next, to unpaid accrued interest on the
Tranche C Term Loan, (f) next, to the outstanding principal of the Tranche
A Term Loan, to the extent then due and payable, (g) next, to the
outstanding principal of the Tranche B Term Loan, to the extent then due and
payable, (h) next, to the outstanding principal of the Tranche C Term
Loan, to the extent then due and payable, and (i) finally, to the payment
of any other outstanding Obligations; provided, however, that
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Lender may apply any and all
such amounts to such of the Obligations as the Lender may determine in its sole
and absolute discretion.  After payment
in full of the Obligations, any further amounts paid to or received by the
Lender in respect of the Obligations shall be paid over to the Borrower or such
other Person(s) as may be legally entitled thereto.

 

13

 

Section 2.07.  Sale.  Anything elsewhere contained in this
Agreement and/or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, all Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable, without requirement of notice or
demand, upon the consummation of any Sale.

 

Section 2.08.  Obligations Unconditional.

 

(a)                                  The
payment and performance of all Obligations shall constitute the absolute and
unconditional obligations of the Borrower, and shall be independent of any
defense or rights of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim which the Borrower
might otherwise have against the Lender. 
All payments required by this Agreement and/or the Notes shall be paid
free of any deductions or withholdings for any taxes or other amounts and
without abatement, diminution or set-off. 
If the Borrower is required by law to make such a deduction or
withholding from a payment hereunder, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such
additional amount as is necessary to ensure that, after the making of such
deduction or withholding, the Lender receives (free from any liability in
respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which
it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding
been made or required to be made.  The
Borrower shall (i) pay the full amount of any deduction or withholding,
which it is required to make by-law, to the relevant authority within the
payment period set by the relevant law, and (ii) promptly after any such
payment, deliver to the Lender an original (or certified copy) official receipt
issued by the relevant authority in respect of the amount withheld or deducted
or, if the relevant authority does not issue such official receipts, such other
evidence of payment of the amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably
acceptable to the Lender.

 

(b)                                 If,
at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, (i) any change
in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation
or application thereof, (ii) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive
enacted or application thereof, or (iii) compliance by the Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
governmental authority (A) subjects the Lender to any tax, levy, impost,
deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with
respect to any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to
the Lender of any amount payable thereunder (except for net income taxes, or
franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by
federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or
commitment fees or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax
on the overall net income of the Lender or its members), or (B) imposes on
the Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein, and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or
continuing any Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any
such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Lender any additional amounts
necessary to compensate the Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional
cost or reduced amount as determined by the Lender.  If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any
additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(b), the Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which the Lender has
become so entitled, and each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant
to this Section 2.08(b) submitted by the Lender to the Borrower
shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes.

 

Section 2.09.  Reversal of Payments.  To the extent that any payment or payments
made to or received by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document are 

 

14

 

subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver or other person
under any state or federal bankruptcy or other such law, then, to the extent
thereof, such amounts shall be revived as Obligations and continue in full
force and effect hereunder as if such payment or payments had not been received
by the Lender.

 

III.                                 REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

 

The Borrower
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Lender, all of

whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries
pursuant to, any such Contract, indenture, agreement or other instrument.  When executed and delivered, each Loan
Document to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party will constitute the
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Subsidiary (as

with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally,

facts, events, conditions or circumstances which would properly constitute
grounds for or the basis of any meritorious suit, action, arbitration,
proceeding or investigation (including, without limitation, any unfair labor
practice charges, interference with union organizing activities, or other labor
or employment claims) against or 

 

18

 

with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary which, if adversely

lessee’s interest in each Real Property currently leased or occupied by the
Borrower or such Subsidiary.  Neither the
Borrower, any Subsidiary, or, to the Borrower’s Knowledge, any other party
thereto, is in material breach or violation of any requirements of any such
lease; and such Real Properties are in good condition (reasonable wear and tear
excepted) and are adequate for the current and proposed businesses of the
Borrower and the Subsidiaries.

 

Section 3.08.  Machinery and Equipment.  The machinery and equipment owned and/or used

formed in accordance with Section 5.11 below, the Borrower does not,
directly or indirectly, own any capital stock of or any form of equity interest
in any other Person.

 

Section 3.10.  Solvency.  After giving effect to the Loans and the
other transactions contemplated hereby, the borrowings made and/or to be made
by the Borrower under this Agreement do not and will not render the Borrower
insolvent or with unreasonably small capital for its business; the fair
saleable value of all of the assets and properties of the Borrower does now,
and will, upon the funding of the Loans contemplated hereby, exceed the
aggregate liabilities and Indebtedness of the Borrower (including contingent
liabilities); the Borrower is not 

 

19

 

contemplating either the filing of a petition under any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency law, or the liquidation of all or any

used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or for
the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally
incurred to purchase or carry, any margin security or margin stock or for any
other purpose which might constitute the transactions contemplated hereby a “purpose
credit” within the meaning of said Regulations T, U or X, or cause this
Agreement to violate any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or the Exchange Act, or any rules or regulations
promulgated under such statutes.

 Taxes.

 

(a)                                  All

state and local income, franchise, sales, use, property, excise, ad valorem,
value-added, payroll and other taxes (including interest, penalties and
additions to tax and including estimated tax installments where required to be
filed and paid) due from or with respect to the Borrower and the Subsidiaries
have been paid to the extent due and payable, and appropriate accruals have
been made on the Borrower’s books for taxes not yet due and payable.  All taxes and other assessments and levies
which the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary is required by law to withhold or to
collect have been duly withheld and collected, and have been paid over to the
proper governmental authorities to the extent due and payable.  Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13

of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate of the
Borrower maintains or has any obligation to make any contributions to any
pension, profit sharing or other similar plan providing for deferred
compensation to any employee.  With
respect to any such plan(s) as may now exist or may hereafter be
established by the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower, and which 

 

20

 

constitutes an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of
ERISA, except as set forth on Schedule 3.14 of the Disclosure
Schedule:  (a) the Borrower or the
subject ERISA Affiliate has paid and shall cause to be paid when due all
amounts necessary to fund such plan(s) in accordance with its terms, (b) except
for normal premiums payable by the Borrower to the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (“PBGC”), the Borrower or the subject ERISA Affiliate has
not taken and shall not take any action which could result in any liability to
the PBGC, or any of its successors or assigns, (c) the present value of
all accrued benefits thereunder shall not at any time exceed the value of the
assets of such plan(s) allocable to such accrued benefits, (d) there
have not been and there shall not be any transactions such as would cause the
imposition of any tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or under Section 502
of ERISA, which would adversely affect the funded benefits attributable to the
Borrower or the subject ERISA Affiliate, (e) there has not been and there
shall not be any termination or partial termination thereof (other than a
partial termination resulting solely from a reduction in the number of
employees of the Borrower or an ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower, which
reduction is not anticipated by the Borrower), and there has not been and there
shall not be any “reportable event” (as such term is defined in Section 4043(b) of
ERISA) on or after the effective date of Section 4043(b) of ERISA
with respect to any such plan(s) subject to Title IV of ERISA, (f) no
“accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 412 of the Code)
has been or shall be incurred on or after the effective date of Section 412
of the Code, (g) such plan(s) have been and shall be determined to be
“qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code, and
have been and shall be duly administered in compliance with ERISA and the Code,
and (h) the Borrower is not aware of any fact, event, condition or cause
which might adversely affect the qualified status thereof.  As respects any “multi-employer plan” (as
such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) to which the Borrower or
any ERISA Affiliate thereof has heretofore been, is now, or may hereafter be
required to make contributions, the Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate has made
and shall make all required contributions thereto, and there has not been and
shall not be any “complete withdrawal” or “partial withdrawal” (as such terms
are respectively defined in Sections 4203 and 4205 of ERISA) therefrom on the
part of the Borrower or such ERISA Affiliate.

 

Section 3.15.  Intellectual Property.  The Borrower and the Subsidiaries own or have

compliance in all material respects with all licenses, user agreements and

claiming that any of such intellectual property infringes upon or violates the
rights of any other Person.

compliance with all occupational safety, health, wage and hour, employment
discrimination, environmental, flammability, labeling and other Applicable Law
(including, without limitation, healthcare laws and regulations, and healthcare
reimbursement laws and regulations) which are material to the Business
Operations, except where such non-compliance would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
To the Borrower’s Knowledge, there are no state or facts, events,
conditions or occurrences which may now or hereafter constitute or result in a
violation of any Applicable Law, or which may give rise to the assertion of any
such 

 

21

 

violation, which could have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has
received written notice of default or violation, nor is the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in default or violation, with respect to any judgment, order, writ,
injunction, decree, demand or assessment issued by any court or any federal,
state, local, municipal or other governmental agency, board, commission,
bureau, instrumentality or department, domestic or foreign, relating to any
aspect of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiaries’ business, affairs, properties or
assets, which default(s) or violation(s) would, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has
received written notice of or been charged with, or is, to the Borrower’s
Knowledge, under investigation with respect to, any violation(s) of any
provision of any Applicable Law, which violation(s) would, individually or
in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 3.17.  Licenses and Permits.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary has all
federal, state and local licenses and permits required to be maintained in
connection with the Business Operations, except where the failure to maintain
any such license or permit would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect; and all such licenses and permits are valid and in
full force and effect.  The Borrower and
each Subsidiary has complied with the requirements of such licenses and permits
in all material respects, and has received no notice of any pending or
threatened proceedings for the suspension, termination, revocation or
limitation thereof. There is no circumstance or condition Known to the Borrower
that would cause or permit any of such licenses or permits to be voided, revoked
or withdrawn.

 

Section 3.18.  Insurance.  Schedule 3.18 of the Disclosure
Schedule lists all insurance coverages maintained by the Borrower and the
Subsidiaries, including the names of insurers, policy limits and
deductibles.  Neither the Borrower nor
any Subsidiary has received written notice of cancellation or intent not to
renew any of such policies, and to the Borrower’s Knowledge, there has not
occurred, and there does not exist, any condition (other than general
industry-wide conditions) such as would cause any of such insurers to cancel
any of such insurance coverages, or would be reasonably likely to materially
increase the premiums charged to the Company and the Subsidiaries for coverages
consistent with the scope and amounts of coverages as in effect on the date of
this Agreement.

 

Section 3.19.  Environmental Laws.

 

(a)                                  The
Borrower and each Subsidiary has complied with all Environmental Laws relating
to its business and properties, except where non-compliance would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and to the
Borrower’s Knowledge, there exist no Hazardous Substances in amounts in
violation of applicable Environmental Laws on any of the Real Properties the
existence of which would have a Material Adverse Effect, except those that are
stored and used in compliance with Applicable Laws.

 

(b)                                 Neither
the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received notice of any pending or
threatened litigation or administrative proceeding which in any instance (i) asserts
or alleges any violation of applicable Environmental Laws on the part of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) asserts or alleges that the Borrower or
any Subsidiary is required to clean up, remove or otherwise take remedial or
other response action due to the disposal, depositing, discharge, leaking or
other release of any Hazardous Substances or materials, or (iii) asserts
or alleges that the Borrower or any Subsidiary is required to pay all or any
portion of the costs of 

 

22

 

any past, present or future cleanup, removal or remedial or other
response action which arises out of or is related to the disposal, depositing,
discharge, leaking or other release of any hazardous substances or materials by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary.  To the
Borrower’s Knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is subject to any
judgment, decree, order or citation related to or arising out of any
Environmental Laws.  To the Borrower’s
Knowledge, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been named or listed as
a potentially responsible party by any governmental body or agency in any
matter arising under any Environmental Laws. 
Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a participant in, nor does
the Borrower have Knowledge of, any governmental investigation involving any of
the Real Properties.

the Borrower or any Subsidiary nor, to the Borrower’s Knowledge, any other
person, firm, corporation or governmental entity has caused or permitted any
Hazardous Substances or other materials to be stored, deposited, treated,
recycled or disposed of on or at any of the Real Properties which materials, if
known to be present, would reasonably be expected to require or authorize
cleanup, removal or other remedial action under any applicable Environmental
Laws.

any representation or warranty made herein or in any other Loan Document, or in
any certificate, financial statement, Borrowing Base report, instrument or

occurrence thereof; provided, however, 

 

34

condition is due to a change in Applicable Law or any rectifiable event or
occurrence which terminates the ability to place a Lien on the subject asset,
an Event of Default shall not be deemed to exist by reason thereof unless the
Borrower or the subject Subsidiary fails, within ten (10) days after
written notice from the Lender, to take other lawful action which shall provide
to the Lender substantially the same benefit as the lost Lien), or the Borrower
or any Subsidiary shall assert in writing that any Lien purported to be created
by any Security Document is not a valid perfected first priority lien (subject
only to any priority accorded by law to Permitted Liens) on the assets or
properties purported to be covered thereby;

a result of the discharge thereof in accordance with the terms thereof or by
written agreement of all parties thereto), provided that if such
condition is due to a change in Applicable Law, an Event of Default shall not
be deemed to exist by reason thereof unless the Borrower or the subject
Subsidiary fails, within ten (10) days after written notice from the
Lender, to take other lawful action which shall provide to the Lender
substantially the same rights and benefits as were provided to the Lender
immediately prior to such change in Applicable Law, or (ii) the Borrower
or any Subsidiary shall disclaim or deny the validity of any Loan Document or
its obligations thereunder; or

 

(l)                                     if the Borrower
or any Subsidiary shall be indicted for or convicted of any felony or crime of
moral turpitude.

 

Section 7.02.  Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
and at all times thereafter during the continuance thereof: (a) the Notes,
and any and all other Obligations, shall, at the Lender’s option (except in the
case of Sections 7.01(f) and 7.01(g) hereof, the occurrence of which
shall automatically effect acceleration, regardless of any action or
forbearance in respect of any prior or ongoing Default or Event of Default
which may be inconsistent with such automatic acceleration), become immediately
due and payable, both as to principal, interest and other charges, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Notes or other evidence
of such Obligations to the contrary notwithstanding, (b) all outstanding
Obligations under the Notes, and all other outstanding Obligations, shall bear
interest at the default rate of interest provided in the Notes, (c) the
Lender may file suit against the Borrower on the Notes and against the Borrower
and the Subsidiaries under the other Loan Documents and/or seek specific
performance or 

 

36

 

injunctive
relief thereunder (whether or not a remedy exists at law or is adequate), (d) the
Lender shall have the right, in accordance with the Security Documents, to
exercise any and all remedies in respect of such or all of the Collateral as
the Lender may determine in its discretion (without any requirement of
marshalling of assets, or other such requirement), and (e) the Revolving
Credit Commitment shall, at the Lender’s option (except in the case of Sections
7.01(f) and 7/01(g) hereof, the occurrence of which shall
automatically effect termination, regardless of any action or forbearance in
respect of any prior or ongoing Default or Event of Default which may be
inconsistent with such automatic termination), be immediately terminated or
reduced, and the Lender shall be under no further obligation to consider making
any further Advances.

 

VIII.                        PARTICIPATING
LENDERS; ASSIGNMENT.

 

Section 8.01.  Participations.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without in
any manner affecting or impairing the validity of any Obligations, transfer,
assign or grant participating interests in the Loans as the Lender shall in its
sole discretion determine, to such other Persons (the “Participants”) as
the Lender may determine.  Upon any such
transfer, assignment or granting of participating interests, the Participants
shall be deemed to be included within the term “Lender” for all purposes of
this Agreement, subject to such agreements and arrangements as the Lender and
the Participants may agree upon. Notwithstanding the granting of any such
participating interests: (a) the Borrower shall look solely to the Lender
for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the
Borrower shall at all times have the right to rely upon any waivers or consents
signed by the Lender as being binding upon all of the Participants, and (c) all
communications in respect of this Agreement and such transactions shall remain
solely between the Borrower and the Lender (exclusive of Participants)
hereunder.

 

Section 8.02.  Transfer.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without in
any manner affecting or impairing the validity of any Obligations, transfer and
assign all or any portion of its interest in this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents to any Person (an “Assignee Lender”) as the Lender
may determine.  Upon any such transfer or
assignment, the Assignee Lender shall be deemed to succeed (to the extent of
the interest assigned) to the rights and obligations of the Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement.  In the event
of any transfer and assignment of the Lender’s entire interest in this
Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents, the Lender shall be replaced
by the Assignee Lender as “Secured Party” under the Collateral Agreement and
all other Security Documents.

 

Section 8.03.  Recordation of Assignment.  In respect of any negotiation, transfer or assignment
of all or any portion of any Lender’s interest in this Agreement, any Note
and/or any other Loan Documents at any time and from time to time, the
following provisions shall be applicable:

 

(a)                                  The Borrower,
or any agent appointed by the Borrower, shall maintain a register (the “Register”)
in which there shall be recorded the name and address of each Person holding
any Note(s) hereunder or any commitment to lend hereunder, and the
principal amount payable to such Person under such Person’s Note(s) or
committed by such Person under such Person’s lending commitment.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the
Lender (and/or 

 

37

 

any
subsequent Lender appointed by the Lender then maintaining the Register) as the
Borrower’s agent for the purpose of maintaining the Register.

 

(b)                                 In connection
with any negotiation, transfer or assignment as aforesaid, the
transferor/assignor shall deliver to the Lender then maintaining the Register
an assignment and assumption agreement executed by the transferor/assignor and
the transferee/assignee, setting forth the specifics of the subject
transaction, including but not limited to the amount and nature of Obligations
and/or lending commitments being transferred or assigned (and being assumed, as
applicable), and the proposed effective date of such transfer or assignment and
the related assumption (if applicable).

 

(c)                                  Subject to
receipt of completed tax forms (indicating withholding status, or exemption
from withholding, as applicable, of the transferee/assignee) reasonably
required by the Person then maintaining the Register, and (if required by such
Person) surrender of the negotiated, transferred or assigned Note(s) for
reissuance by the Borrower, such Person shall record the subject transfer,
assignment and assumption in the Register. 
Anything contained in any Note or other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, no negotiation, transfer or assignment shall be effective until
it is recorded in the Register pursuant to this Section 8.03(c).  The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; and the
Borrower and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and each Lender at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

IX.                                MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 9.01.  Survival.  This Agreement and all covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered
pursuant hereto, shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans and the
execution and delivery to the Lender of the Notes, and shall continue in full
force and effect for so long as the Notes or any other Obligations are
outstanding and unpaid.  Whenever in this
Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party; and all
covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained, by or on behalf
of the Borrower shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Lender.

claims, damages and liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees and expenses, incurred by the Lender or any such Person arising
out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of: (a) the use of any
of the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower; (b) this
Agreement, the ownership and operation of the Borrower’s and any Subsidiary’s
assets, including all Real Properties and improvements or any Contract, the
performance by the Borrower or any other Person of their respective obligations
thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement; (c) any finder’s fee, brokerage commission of other such
obligation payable or alleged to be payable in respect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement which arises or is alleged to arise from any
agreement, action or conduct of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, and/or (d) any
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the 

 

38

 

foregoing,
whether or not the Lender or its managers, directors, officers, employees,
attorneys or agents are a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not apply to any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses arising from (i) any unexcused breach by the Lender of any of its
obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the Lender as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) the breach of any commitment or
legal obligation of the Lender to any Person other than the Borrower or its
Affiliates, provided that such breach is determined pursuant to a final
and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The foregoing indemnity shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration or any termination
of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the repayment of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of
any term or provision of any Loan Document, any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Lender, and the content or accuracy of any representation or

giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

 

Section 9.04.  Waiver and Amendment.  Neither any modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan Document, nor any
consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary therefrom, shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be set forth in writing duly
signed or acknowledged by the Lender and all parties to such Loan Document, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance,
and for the specific purpose, for which given. 
No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any instance shall entitle the
Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances.

 

Section 9.05.  Reservation of Remedies.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part
of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under
the Notes or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future
exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

communications under or in respect of this Agreement or any transactions
hereunder shall be in writing (which may include telegraphic or telecopied

AMENDED AND RESTATED TERM NOTE

(Tranche A)

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned, CRDENTIA CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Maker”), hereby promises to pay to ComVest
Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ComVest),
or registered assigns (hereinafter, collectively with ComVest, the “Payee”), the sum of Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand ($2,500,000) Dollars (the “Principal”),
with interest thereon, on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement of even date
herewith by and between the Maker and ComVest (the “Loan Agreement”).  Terms defined in the Loan Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan
Agreement.

 

Payments of principal of,
interest on and any other amounts with respect to this Term Note (this “Note”) are to be made in lawful money of
the United States of America.

 

1.                                       Payments.

 

(a)                                  Interest.  This Note shall bear interest (“Interest”) on Principal amounts outstanding from time to
time from the date hereof at the rate of twelve and one-half (12.5%) percent
per annum; provided, however, that during the continuance of any
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the interest rate hereunder shall be
seventeen and one-half (17.5%) percent per annum.  All Interest shall be computed on the daily
unpaid Principal balance of this Note based on a three hundred sixty (360) day
year, and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar
month commencing July 1, 2008, and upon the maturity hereof.

 

(b)                                 Principal.  The outstanding Principal of this Note shall
be payable (i) in seventeen (17) equal monthly installments of $104,166.67
each, due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing September 1,
2009 and continuing through and including January 1, 2011, and (ii) a
final installment due and payable on February 28, 2011, in an amount equal
to the entire remaining Principal balance of this Note.

 

(c)                                  Non-Business
Day.  If any scheduled payment date
as aforesaid is not a business day in the State of Texas or the State of Florida,
then the payment to be made on such scheduled payment date shall be due and
payable on the next succeeding business day, with additional interest on any
Principal amount so delayed for the period of such delay.

 

 

2.                                       Prepayment.

 

(a)                                  Optional
Prepayment of Principal.  All
or any portion of the unpaid Principal balance of this Note, together with all
accrued and unpaid Interest on the Principal amount being prepaid, may at the
Maker’s option be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,
without premium or penalty, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to
the Payee.

 

(b)                                 Mandatory
Prepayments of Principal.  The
entire Principal balance of this Note, and all accrued and unpaid Interest
hereunder, (i) shall be required to be prepaid upon the consummation of
any Sale, and (ii) may be required to be prepaid upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default.  In addition, all
or a portion of the Principal of this Note shall be required to be prepaid as
and to the extent provided in Section 2.02(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Application of
Payments.  Any and all
prepayments hereunder shall be applied first to unpaid accrued Interest on the
Principal amount being prepaid, and then to Principal.  Any and all prepayments of Principal
hereunder shall be applied to the installments under Section 1(b) above
in the inverse order of their maturity.

 

3.                                       Events of Default. 
The occurrence or existence of an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement shall constitute a default under this Note and shall entitle the
Payee to accelerate the entire indebtedness hereunder and take such other
action as may be provided for in the Loan Agreement and/or in any and all other
instruments evidencing and/or securing the indebtedness under this Note, or as
may be provided under the law.

 

4.                                       Assignment.  This Note
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto, provided that the Maker
may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Payee.

 

5.                                       Waiver and
Amendment.  No waiver
of a right in any instance shall constitute a continuing waiver of successive
rights, and any one waiver shall govern only the particular matters
waived.  Neither any provision of this
Note nor any performance hereunder may be amended or waived except pursuant to
an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is
sought.  Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Note, the Maker hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment
for payment, protest, dishonor, nonpayment, default, notice of any and all of
the foregoing, and any other notice or action otherwise required to be given or
taken under the law in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default, enforcement or collection of this Note, and expressly agrees that this
Note, or any payment hereunder, may be extended, modified or subordinated (by
forbearance or otherwise) from time to time, without in any way affecting the
liability of the Maker.  The Maker
further waives the benefit of any exemption under the homestead exemption laws,
if any, or any other exemption, appraisal or insolvency laws, and consents that
the Payee may release or surrender, exchange or substitute any personal property
or other collateral security now held or which may hereafter be held as
security for the payment of this Note.

6.                                       Governing Law.  This Note shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by  the laws of
the State of New York, except to the extent superseded by Federal enactments.

 

7.                                       Consent to
Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.  The Maker hereby consents to the jurisdiction
of all courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for
the Southern District of New York, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts
from which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any
suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or with respect to this Note.  The Maker hereby waives the right to
interpose any counterclaims (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any action
brought by the Payee hereunder, provided that this waiver shall not preclude
the Maker from pursuing any such claims by means of separate proceedings.  THE MAKER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL
OBJECTIONS WHICH IT MAY HAVE AS TO VENUE IN ANY OF SUCH COURTS, AND ALSO
WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  The Payee may file a copy of this Note as
evidence of the foregoing waiver of right to jury trial.

 

8.                                       Usury Savings
Clause.  All agreements between the
Maker and the Payee are hereby expressly limited to provide that in no
contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity
of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise, shall the amount paid or
agreed to be paid to the Payee for the use, forbearance or detention of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum amount which the Payee is
permitted to receive under applicable law. 
If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision
hereof or of the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document thereunder, at the time
performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the
limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if
from any circumstance the Payee shall ever receive as interest an amount which
would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive
interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of any of
the Maker’s Obligations (as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement) to the
Payee, and not to the payment of interest hereunder.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
all sums paid or agreed to be paid for the use, forbearance or detention of the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and
spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full, to
the end that the rate or amount of interest on account of such indebtedness
does not exceed any applicable usury ceiling. 
As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law in effect
as of the date hereof, provided, however, that in the event there is a change
in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of interest, then this
Note shall be governed by such new law as of its effective date.  This provision shall control every other
provision of all agreements between the Maker and the Payee.

continuance of any Event of Default, the Maker shall further be liable to the
Payee for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which
may be incurred by the Payee in enforcing this Note, all of which costs and
expenses shall be obligations under and part of this Note; and the Payee may
take judgment for all such amounts in addition to all other sums due hereunder.
