                                CREDIT AGREEMENT

         This Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the 31st
day of May, 2003, by and between HEALTH CARE REIT, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Borrower") and FIFTH THIRD BANK, an Ohio banking corporation ("Bank").

Section 1.        Definitions.

         All financial terms used in the Agreement but not defined in the Loan
Documents have the meanings given to them by generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). All other undefined terms have the meanings given to them
in the Ohio Uniform Commercial Code.

Section 2.        Loan.

         2.01.    Revolving Credit Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, Bank hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility (the
"Facility") (the "Loan") under which Bank may make loans (the Revolving Loans")
to Borrower at Borrower's request from time to time during the term of this
Agreement. Bank will have discretion at all times as to whether or not to make
any Revolving Loan, if there is any Event of Default. Borrower may borrow,
prepay, and reborrow under the Facility, provided that the principal amount of
all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under the Facility will not
exceed the foregoing limits or those limits specified in the Revolving Note. If
the amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding at any time under the Facility
exceeds the limits set forth above or in the Revolving Note, Borrower will
immediately pay the amount of such excess to Bank. Bank has agreed to make this
loan upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and all
documents executed pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement (all such
documents and this Agreement will be called ("Loan Documents"), provided the
loan is secured as set forth in this Agreement.

         (b)      Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written or telephone
notice to Bank. Bank will make a Revolving Loan by wire transfer to any account
designated by Borrower. Loan proceeds may be used for purposes not prohibited
herein.

         (c)      On the date hereof, Borrower will duly issue and deliver to
Bank a Revolving Note (the "Revolving Note"), in the principal amount of THIRTY
MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($30,000,000.00) bearing interest as specified in
Section 2.02 herein.

         (d)      The term of the Facility will expire on MAY 31, 2004 and the
Revolving Note will become payable in full on that date.

         2.03     Interest on Revolving Credit Loan. The principal amounts
outstanding hereunder shall bear interest commencing on the date of the first
advance hereunder at the rate or rates per annum set forth below which shall be
designated by Borrower as more fully set forth herein. At any time, from time to
time, during the term of this note, so long as no Event of Default exists and so
long as such Borrowings are not then subject to an Interest Rate Election,
Borrower may notify Bank that it wishes to exercise its right to adjust the rate
of interest accruing on some or all amounts of principal outstanding under this
Note (in a minimum amount of $500,000.00) to one of the rates set forth below,
however, once the rate of interest accruing against any amounts outstanding
hereunder is adjusted to one of the following interest rates during an Interest
Period, Borrower may not elect to adjust such interest rate to a different
interest rate until the expiration of such Interest Period:

     (a) LIBOR Rate. Upon telephonic notice by Borrower to Bank, Borrower may
         elect to have all or any portion of the Borrowings in a minimum amount
         of $500,000.00 per election bear interest at the per annum rate equal
         to two hundred basis points (200) in excess of the LIBOR Rate (a "LIBOR
         Rate Election"). Such notice shall inform Bank of the amount of
         Borrowings to be subject to the LIBOR Rate Election, the LIBOR interest
         period and the effective date of the LIBOR interest period.

                                       1

<PAGE>

         Borrower's right to make a LIBOR Rate Election shall be terminated
         automatically if Bank, by telephonic notice, shall notify Borrower that
         LIBOR deposits with a maturity corresponding to the maturity of the
         LIBOR Interest Period, in an amount equal to the Borrowings to be
         subject to the LIBOR Rate Election are not readily available in the
         London Inter-Bank Offered Rate Market, or that, by reason of
         circumstances affecting such Market, adequate and reasonable methods do
         not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such
         deposits for the proposed LIBOR Interest Period.

         In addition, notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary,
         if, prior to or during any period with respect to which a LIBOR Rate is
         in effect, any change in any law, regulation or official directive, or
         in the interpretation thereof, by any governmental body charged with
         the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for the Bank to find
         or maintain its funding in Eurodollars of any portion of the Borrowings
         subject to the LIBOR Rate or otherwise to give effect to Bank's
         obligations as contemplated hereby, (i) Bank may by written notice to
         Borrower, declare Bank's obligations in respect of the LIBOR Rate to be
         terminated forthwith, and (ii) the LIBOR Rate with respect to Bank
         shall forthwith cease to be in effect, and interest shall from and
         after such date be calculated at Prime Rate, unless Borrower shall
         thereafter elect one or more other Interest Rate Election.

     (b) Prime Rate. Upon telephonic notice by Borrower to Bank prior to or on
         the Effective Date, Borrower may elect to have all or part of the
         Borrowings (provided such Borrowings are not then subject to an
         Interest Rate Election) bear interest at the per annum rate equal to
         the Prime Rate ("Prime Rate Election"). Such telephonic notice shall
         inform Bank of the amount of the Borrowings to be subject to the Prime
         Rate Election, the Prime Rate Interest Period and the Effective Date
         for the Prime Rate Interest Period.

         If at any time during the term hereof (i) the outstanding principal
         hereunder is less than $500,000.00, or (ii) Borrower fails to designate
         one of the interest rates set forth above or at any time after Borrower
         has elected to adjust the interest rate accruing on any principal
         outstanding hereunder to a rate other than the fixed rate set forth
         above, at the expiration of any Interest Period, if Borrower has not
         made another Interest Rate Election hereunder, then in either such
         event, such outstanding amounts of principal will accrue interest at a
         rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate.

As used herein, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

     (a) "Effective Date" means the date on which a LIBOR Rate Election or Prime
         Rate Election will begin.

     (b) "Interest Rate Election" means a LIBOR Rate Election, or a Prime Rate
         Election or any one or more of the foregoing.

     (c) "LIBOR Interest Period" means, with respect to a Borrowing elected to
         accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate, a period of 30, 60 or 90 days
         commencing on a business day selected by the Borrower pursuant to this
         Note. Such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the day in the succeeding
         calendar month which corresponds numerically to the beginning day of
         such LIBOR Interest Period, provided, however, that if there is no such
         numerically corresponding day in such succeeding month, such LIBOR
         Interest Period shall end on the last business day of such succeeding
         month. If a LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is
         not a business day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the next
         succeeding business day, provided, however, that if said next
         succeeding business day falls in a new month, such LIBOR Interest
         Period shall end on the immediately preceding business day.

         2.03     Statements. After the end of each quarter, Bank will render to
                  Borrower a statement on each of Borrower's loan accounts with
                  Bank hereunder, which statement will be considered correct and
                  will be conclusively binding upon Borrower unless Borrower
                  notifies Bank in writing of any discrepancy within thirty (30)
                  days from the date of such statement.

Section 3.        Representations And Warranties.

         Borrower hereby warrants and represents to Bank the following:

         3.01     Organization and Qualification. Borrower is duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of its state of organization and has the power
to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged
and in which it proposes to be engaged. Borrower is in good standing in its
state of organization and in each state in which it is qualified to do business
unless the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on
Borrower.

         3.02     Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of this Agreement, the Loan and any other Loan Documents have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and will not contravene any law or
any governmental rule or order binding on Borrower, or the Articles of
Incorporation, Code of Regulations or Bylaws of Borrower, nor violate any
agreement or instrument by which Borrower is bound nor result in the creation of
a lien on any assets of Borrower except the lien to Bank granted herein.
Borrower has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and they are valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable
according to their respective terms except as limited by equitable principles
and by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally. No notice to or consent by any governmental body is needed in
connection with this transaction.

         3.03     Litigation. There is no litigation, nor are there any
proceedings by or before any public body, agency or authority presently pending
or threatened against Borrower or any other person, the outcome of which might
materially and adversely affect the continued operations or assets of Borrower,
or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         3.04     Business. Borrower is not a party to or subject to any
agreement or restriction which in the opinion of Borrower's management is so
unusual or burdensome that it might have a material adverse effect on Borrower's
business, properties or prospects.

         3.05     Laws and Taxes. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, Borrower
is in compliance with all laws, regulations, rulings, orders, injunctions,
decrees, conditions or other requirements applicable to or imposed upon Borrower
by any law or by any governmental authority, court or agency. Borrower has filed
all required tax returns and reports that are now required to be filed by it in
connection with any federal, state and local tax, duty or charge levied,
assessed or imposed upon Borrower or its assets, including unemployment, social
security, and real estate taxes. Borrower has paid all taxes which are now due
and payable. No taxing authority has asserted or assessed any additional tax
liabilities against Borrower which are outstanding on the date of this
Agreement. Borrower has filed its 2001 tax returns in a timely manner.

         3.06     Financial Condition. All financial information relating to
Borrower which has been or may hereafter be delivered to Bank is true and
correct and has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles consistently applied. Borrower has no material obligations or
liabilities of any kind not disclosed in that financial information, and there
has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower nor
has Borrower suffered any damage, destruction or loss which has adversely
affected its business or assets since the submission of the most recent
financial information to Bank.

         3.07     Title to Properties. Borrower has good and marketable title in
fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or
used in the ordinary course of its business, except for such defects in title as
could not individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on
Borrower.

         3.08     Defaults. Borrower is in compliance with all material
agreements applicable to it and to the best of Borrower's knowledge, there does
not now exist any default or violation by Borrower of or under any of the terms,
conditions or obligations of (a) its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (b)
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, franchise, permit, contract, agreement
or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not
result in such default or violation, which default could have a material adverse
effect on Borrower.

         3.09     Subsidiaries. If Borrower has any additional subsidiaries at
any time during the term of this Agreement, the term "Borrower" in each
representation, warranty and covenant herein will mean "Borrower and each
subsidiary individually and in the aggregate," and Borrower will cause each
subsidiary to be in compliance therewith.

         3.10     ERISA. To the best of Borrower's knowledge, Borrower is in

Borrower has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are
required under environmental laws and Borrower is in compliance in all material
respects with all terms and conditions of the required permits, licenses and
authorizations, and is also in compliance in all material respects with all
other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions,
requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in the
environmental laws, which failure to obtain or noncompliance could have a
material adverse effect on Borrower.

                  (b) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, Borrower is not aware
of, and has not received notice of, any past, present or future events,
conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, actions or plans
which may interfere with or prevent compliance or continued compliance, in any
material respect, with Environmental Laws, or may give rise to any material
common law or legal liability, or otherwise from the basis of any material
claim, action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study, or investigation, based
on or related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or
threatened release into the environment, of any pollutant, contaminant,
chemical, or industrial, toxic or hazardous substance or waste, which could have
a material adverse effect on Borrower.

                  (c) There is no civil, criminal or administrative action,
suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice or demand letter, notice of violation,
investigation or proceeding pending or to the best of Borrower's knowledge,
threatened against Borrower, relating in any way to environmental laws, which
could have a material adverse effect on Borrower.

         3.12     Margin Stock. No part of the Facility will be used to purchase
or carry, or to reduce or retire or refinance credit incurred to purchase or
carry, any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulations U and X of the Board
of Governors of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to
extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin
stock. If requested by Bank, Borrower will furnish to Bank statements in
conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1.

permits, franchises, governmental authorizations, patents, trademarks,
copyrights or other rights necessary for the ownership of its properties and the
advantageous conduct of its business, the failure of which could have a material
adverse effect on Borrower. Borrower possesses adequate licenses, patents,
patent applications, copyrights, trademarks, trademark applications, and trade
names to continue to conduct its business as heretofore conducted by it, without
any conflict with the rights of any other person or entity, which the lack
thereof could have a material adverse effect on Borrower. All of the foregoing
are in full force and effect and none of the foregoing are known to conflict
with the rights of others, which conflict could have a material adverse effect
on Borrower.

due and payable upon written notice to that effect given to the Borrower by the
Bank (except in the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 5.01(c), (d) or (f) no such notice shall be required), without
presentment or demand for payment, notice of non-payment, protest or further
notice or demand of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower.

                  sequestrator (or other similar official) of Borrower or for
                  any substantial part of its property, or orders the wind-up or
                  liquidation of its affairs; or a petition initiating an
                  involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or

                  fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or
                  takes corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;
                  or

         (e)      final judgment of the payment of money in excess of
                  $1,500,000.00 is rendered against Borrower and remains

         5.04     Default Rate. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Bank may increase the interest rate on any loan in accordance with the

entered into, rights created or Obligations incurred prior to such termination
have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated. The security interest,
lien and rights granted to Bank hereunder and under the Loan Documents will
continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement or the fact that no Loans are outstanding to Borrower, until all of
the Obligations, have been paid in full.

Section 6.        Conditions Precedent.

         6.01     Conditions to Loan. Bank will have no obligation to make or

indemnify, save and hold Bank, its officers, directors, attorneys, and employees
harmless of and from the amount of such payment surrendered. The provisions of
this Section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action

defend, save and hold Bank, its officers, directors, attorneys, and employees
harmless of, from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, judgments,
losses, damages, costs and expenses, joint or several (including all accounting

party may incur arising out of this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or any
act taken by Bank hereunder except for the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such indemnified party. The provisions of this Section will
survive the termination of this Agreement.

the Notices section of this Agreement. BANK AND BORROWER HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

 REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS REVOLVING CREDIT, TERM LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the
“Agreement”) dated as of June 10, 2003, is entered into between ACCESS WORLDWIDE COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), ASH CREEK, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Ash”), AWWC NEW JERSEY HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AWWC”), TELEMANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Telemanagement”), TLM HOLDINGS CORP., a
Delaware corporation (“TLM”), (individually and collectively, the “Borrower”), and CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender make available to Borrower a
revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Facility Cap”), and a term loan (the “Term
Loan”) in a maximum principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (which is included under the Facility Cap) (the “Maximum Term Loan Amount”), the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower for
refinancing Borrower’s existing obligations and indebtedness and working capital needs in connection with its sales, marketing, and medical education services business to the pharmaceutical, telecommunications and consumer products industries;
and 
  
 WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Revolving Facility
and the Term Loan available to Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which hereby are
acknowledged, Borrower and Lender hereby agree as follows: 
  
 
I. DEFINITIONS 
  
 
1.1. General Terms 
  
 For purposes
of this Agreement, in addition to the definitions above and elsewhere in this Agreement, the terms listed in Appendix A hereto shall have the meanings given such terms in Appendix A, which is incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
All capitalized terms used which are not specifically defined shall have meanings provided in Article 9 of the UCC in effect on the date hereof to the extent the same are used or defined therein. Unless otherwise specified herein or in Appendix
A, any agreement or contract referred to herein or in Appendix A shall mean such agreement as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time. Unless otherwise specified, as used in the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report,
instrument or other document made or delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, all accounting terms not defined in Appendix A elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in and shall be interpreted in
accordance with GAAP. 
  
 
II. ADVANCES, PAYMENT AND INTEREST 
  
 
2.1. The Revolving Facility 
  
 (a)
Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Lender shall make Advances to Borrower under the Revolving Facility from time to time during the Term, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of
all Advances at any one time outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall not exceed either of (a) the Facility Cap (less the 

 
outstanding balance of the Term Loan), and (b) the Availability. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may be drawn, repaid and
redrawn, from time to time as permitted under this Agreement. Any determination as to whether there is availability within the Borrowing Base for Advances shall be made by Lender in its Permitted Discretion and is final and binding upon Borrower.
Unless otherwise permitted by Lender, each Advance shall be in an amount of at least $1,000. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Advances under the Revolving Facility up to and including the value, in U.S. Dollars, of
the sum of (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Borrowing Base of Eligible Billed Receivables, plus (b) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Borrowing Base of Eligible Pre-Billed Receivables, plus (c) fifty percent (50%) of the Borrowing Base of
Eligible Unbilled Receivables minus, if applicable, amounts reserved pursuant to this Agreement (such calculated amount being referred to herein as the “Availability”). Advances under the Revolving Facility automatically shall be
made for the payment of interest on the Revolving Note and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein. 
  
 (b) Lender has established the above-referenced advance rate for Availability and, in its Permitted Discretion, may further adjust the Availability and
such advance rate by applying percentages (known as “liquidity factors”) to Eligible Receivables by payor class based upon Borrower’s actual recent collection history for each such payor class in a manner consistent with Lender’s
underwriting practices and procedures, including without limitation Lender’s review and analysis of, among other things, Borrower’s historical returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances (collectively, the “Dilution
Items”). In accordance with the foregoing, such liquidity factors and the advance rates for Availability may be adjusted by Lender throughout the Term as warranted by Lender’s underwriting practices and procedures in its Permitted
Discretion. Also, in addition to the Loan Reserve which has been established on the Closing Date, Lender shall have the right to establish from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion, reserves against the Borrowing Base, which reserves shall have
the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise eligible to be disbursed to Borrower under the Revolving Facility pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 2.2.
The Revolving Note; Maturity 
  
 (a) All Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note, payable to the order of Lender, duly executed and delivered by Borrower and dated the Closing Date, evidencing the aggregate indebtedness of Borrower to
Lender resulting from Advances under the Revolving Facility, from time to time. Lender hereby is authorized, but is not obligated, to enter the amount of each Advance under the Revolving Facility and the amount of each payment or prepayment of
principal or interest thereon in the appropriate spaces on the reverse of or on an attachment to the Revolving Note. Lender will account to Borrower monthly with a statement of Advances under the Revolving Facility and charges and payments made
pursuant to this Agreement, and in the absence of manifest error, such accounting rendered by Lender shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Lender is notified by Borrower in writing to the contrary within 15 calendar days of Receipt of
each accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein. 
  
 (b) All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Note and other Obligations shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this
Agreement, on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default if required pursuant hereto or Lender’s demand upon an Event of Default, and (ii) the last day of the Term (such earlier date being the “Revolving Facility Maturity
Date”). 
  

 2 

 2.3.
 Interest 
  
 Interest on
outstanding Advances under the Revolving Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of Prime Rate plus two and three quarters percent (2.75%), provided, however, that, notwithstanding
any provision of any Loan Document, the interest on outstanding Advances under the Revolving Note shall be not less than seven percent (7.00%), in each case calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed
in each interest calculation period. Interest accrued on each Advance under the Revolving Note shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month, in accordance with the procedures provided for in Section 2.5 and Section
2.9, commencing July 1, 2003, and continuing until the later of the expiration of the Term and the full performance and irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
  
 2.4.
Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate 
  
 So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may give Lender irrevocable written notice requesting an Advance
under the Revolving Facility by delivering to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one but not more than four Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the “Borrowing
Date”), a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting documentation satisfactory to Lender, which shall (i) specify the proposed Borrowing Date of such Advance which shall be a Business Day, (ii) specify the principal amount of
such requested Advance, and (iii) certify the matters contained in Section 4.2. Each time a request for an Advance is made, and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being requested, on Tuesday of each week during the Term
(and more frequently if Lender shall so request) until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash in full and this Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Certificate accompanied by a separate detailed aging and
categorizing of Borrower’s accounts receivable (which Eligible Billed Receivables to be updated daily and Eligible Prebilled Receivables and Eligible Unbilled Receivables to be estimated by Borrower, with such estimates to be supported by
documentation acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s Permitted Discretion) and accounts payable and such other supporting documentation with respect to the figures and information in the Borrowing Certificate as Lender shall reasonably request from
a credit or security perspective or otherwise. On each Borrowing Date, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance to the appropriate Borrower’s account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.4 of the
Disclosure Letter, in all cases for credit to the appropriate Borrower (or to such other account as to which the appropriate Borrower shall instruct Lender) via Federal funds wire transfer no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time). 
  
 2.5.
Revolving Facility Collections; Repayment; Borrowing Availability and Lockbox 
  
 Each Borrower shall maintain one or more lockbox accounts (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Account”) with one or more banks
acceptable to Lender (each, a “Lockbox Bank”), and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Lender (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Agreement”), and such other agreements
related thereto as Lender may require. Each Borrower shall ensure that all collections of their respective Accounts and all other cash payments received by any Borrower are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the
appropriate Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that the Lockbox Banks immediately will transfer all funds paid into the Lockbox Accounts into a depository account or accounts maintained by Lender or an Affiliate of Lender at such
bank as Lender may 
  

 3 

 
communicate to Borrower from time to time (the “Concentration Account”). Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of any
Loan Document, Lender shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.5 in such order and manner as determined by Lender. To the extent that any Accounts
collections of any Borrower or any other cash payments received by any Borrower are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox Account but are received by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates, such collections and proceeds shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Lender and remitted as soon as commercially practical (and in any event within three Business Days), in the form received, to the appropriate Lockbox Account for immediate transfer to the Concentration Account. Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Lender may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under
applicable law or at equity, upon each and every failure by any Borrower or any of their Affiliates to comply with any such terms Lender shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Applicable Rate by two
percent (2.0%) per annum during any period of non-compliance, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared, provided that nothing shall prevent Lender from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section
2.5 to be a Default or an Event of Default. All funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be applied on the date of receipt of immediately available funds to reduce the
Obligations under the Revolving Facility, but, for purposes of calculating interest hereunder, shall be subject to a seven Business Day clearance period. If as the result of collections of Accounts and/or any other cash payments received by any
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5 a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be available to the appropriate Borrower in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of the Lockbox Agreements and operation of all or any of the Lockbox Accounts, each Borrower and their Affiliates shall direct all collections or
proceeds it receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the accounts(s) and in the manner specified by Lender in its Permitted Discretion. 
  
 2.6.
Term Loan 
  
 Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender agrees to loan to Borrower on the Closing Date the Maximum Term Loan Amount in the form of the Term Loan to be constituted of a single draw equal to such Maximum Term Loan Amount to be disbursed to
the appropriate Borrower’s account(s) as set forth on Schedule 2.6 of the Disclosure Letter. The Term Loan is not a revolving credit facility, and any repayments of principal shall be applied to permanently reduce the Term Loan. The Term
Loan shall be evidenced by the Term Note. 
  
 2.7.
Interest on the Term Note 
  
 Interest on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan under the Term Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of the Prime Rate plus five and three quarters percent (5.75%),
provided, however, that, notwithstanding, any other provision of any Loan Document, the interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan under the Term Note shall be not less than ten percent (10%), in each case
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in each interest calculation period. Interest accrued on the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing July 1,
2003, and continuing until the indefeasible payment in full of the Term Loan and all Obligations under the Term Loan. Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be made automatically 
  

 4 

 
for the payment of principal and interest on the Term Loan and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein.

  
 2.8.
Repayment of Term Loan; Maturity 
  
 (a) Payment of the outstanding principal balance under the Term Loan (in addition to interest payments under Section 2.7) shall be made on the first day of each calendar month commencing on July 1, 2003 in the amount of $83,333.33 per
month. 
  
 (b) The unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan and
all other Obligations under the Term Loan shall be due payable in full, and the Term Note shall mature, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on December 31, 2003 (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”). 
  
 2.9.
Intentionally Omitted 
  
 2.10.
Promise to Pay; Manner of Payment 
  
 Borrower absolutely and unconditionally promises to pay principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, without any right of rescission and without any deduction whatsoever, including any
deduction for any setoff, counterclaim or recoupment, and notwithstanding any damage to, defects in or destruction of the Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any property or improvements. All payments made by Borrower (other
than payments automatically paid through Advances under the Revolving Facility as provided herein), shall be made only by wire transfer on the date when due, without offset or counterclaim, in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds to such
account as may be indicated in writing by Lender to Borrower from time to time. Any such payment received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment
hereunder shall be stated to be due or shall become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to, and such payment shall be made on, the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in
such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate then in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be. 
  
 2.11.
Repayment of Excess Advances 
  
 Any balance of Advances under the Revolving Facility outstanding at any time in excess of the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower without the necessity of any demand, at the
Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and shall be paid in the manner specified in Section 2.9. 
  
 2.12.
Other Mandatory Prepayments 
  
 In
addition to and without limiting any provision of any Loan Document: 
  
 (a) if a Change of Control occurs, on or prior to the first Business Day following the date of such Change of Control, Borrower shall prepay the Loans, including, without limitation, all outstanding Advances and all other Obligations, in
full in cash together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all other amounts owing to Lender under the Loan Documents; and 
  

 5 

 (b) if any Borrower sells any of its assets or properties (other than sales of Inventory in the ordinary
course of business and non-material assets sales to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents), sells or issues any securities (debt or equity), capital stock or ownership interests (other than the Convertible Notes and the conversion thereof
into capital stock), receives any capital contributions, receives any property damage insurance award which is not used to repair or replace the property covered thereby or incurs any Indebtedness except for Permitted Indebtedness, then it shall
apply 100% of the proceeds thereof to the prepayment of the Loans together with accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations owing to Lender under the Loan Documents, such payment to be applied at such time and in such manner and order as
Lender shall decide in its Permitted Discretion; 
  
 2.13.
Payments by Lender 
  
 Should any
amount required to be paid under any Loan Document be unpaid, such amount may be paid by Lender, which payment shall be deemed a request for an Advance under the Revolving Facility as of the date such payment is due, and Borrower irrevocably
authorizes disbursement of any such funds to Lender by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, interest or Obligations. No payment or prepayment of any amount by Lender or any other Person shall entitle any Person to be subrogated to the
rights of Lender under any Loan Document unless and until the Obligations have been fully performed and paid irrevocably in cash and this Agreement has been terminated. Any sums expended by Lender as a result of any Borrower’s or any
Guarantor’s failure to pay, perform or comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrower’s account as an Advance under the Revolving Facility and added to the Obligations. 
  
 2.14.
Grant of Security Interest; Collateral 
  
 (a) To secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon, and pledges to Lender, all of its right, title and interest in and to the following
(collectively and each individually, the “Collateral”), which security interest is intended to be a first priority security interest: 
  
 (i) all of such Borrower’s tangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Inventory and Equipment (including items
of equipment which are or become Fixtures), now owned or hereafter acquired; 
  
 (ii) all of such Borrower’s intangible personal property, including without limitation all present and future Accounts, securities, contract rights, Permits, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Documents,
Instruments and Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit Rights and Supporting Obligations, rights to the payment of money or other forms of consideration of any kind, tax refunds, insurance proceeds, now owned or hereafter acquired, and all intangible
and tangible personal property relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing; 
  
 (iii) all of such Borrower’s present and future Government Contracts and rights thereunder and the related Government Accounts and proceeds thereof, now or hereafter owned or acquired by such Borrower;
provided, however, that Lender shall not have a security interest in any rights under any Government Contract of such Borrower or in the related Government Account where the taking of such security interest would be a violation of an
express prohibition contained in the Government Contract (for purposes of this limitation, the fact that a Government Contract is subject to, or otherwise refers to, Title 31, § 203 or Title 41, § 15 of the United States Code shall not be
deemed an express prohibition against assignment thereof) or is prohibited by applicable law; and 
  

 6 

 (iv) any and all additions to any of the foregoing, and any and all replacements, products and proceeds
(including insurance proceeds) of any of the foregoing. 
  
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, such grant of a security interest shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” shall not include, any General Intangibles of Borrower to the extent that (i) such
General Intangibles are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law or under the terms of any license or other agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent that any such restriction shall be enforceable under
applicable law) without the consent of the licensor thereof or other applicable party thereto, and (ii) such consent has not been obtained; provided, however, that the foregoing grant of a security interest shall extend to, and the
term “Collateral” shall include, each of the following: (a) any General Intangible which is in the nature of an Account or a right to the payment of money or a proceed of, or otherwise related to the enforcement or collection of, any
Account or right to the payment of money, or goods which are the subject of any Account or right to the payment of money, (b) any and all proceeds of any General Intangible that is otherwise excluded to the extent that the assignment, pledge or
encumbrance of such proceeds is not so restricted, and (c) upon obtaining the consent of any such licensor or other applicable party with respect to any such otherwise excluded General Intangible, such General Intangible as well as any and all
proceeds thereof that might theretofore have been excluded from such grant of a security interest and from the term “Collateral.” 
  
 (c) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the proper filing of the necessary financing statements recordation of the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or the United States Copyright Office, and proper delivery of the necessary stock certificates, without any further action, Lender will have a good, valid and perfected
first priority Lien and security interest in the Collateral, subject to no transfer or other restrictions or Liens of any kind in favor of any other Person except for Permitted Liens. No financing statement relating to any of the Collateral is on
file in any public office except those (i) on behalf of Lender, and/or (ii) in connection with Permitted Liens.  
  
 2.15.
Collateral Administration 
  
 (a)
All Collateral (except Deposit Accounts) will at all times be kept by Borrower at the locations set forth on Schedule 5.18B of the Disclosure Letter hereto and shall not, without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Lender, be
moved therefrom, and in any case shall not be moved outside the continental United States. 
  
 (b) Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit such records to Lender on such periodic bases as Lender may request. In addition, if
Accounts of Borrower in an aggregate face amount in excess of $20,000 become ineligible because they fall within one of the specified categories of ineligibility set forth in the definition of Eligible Receivables, Borrower shall notify Lender of
such occurrence on the first Business Day following such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender formal written assignments of all
of its Accounts weekly or daily as Lender may request, including all Accounts created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of claims, invoices and/or other information related thereto. To the extent that collections from such
assigned accounts exceed the amount of the Obligations, such excess amount shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower, but shall be available to the Borrower upon Borrower’s written request. 
  

 7 

 (c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, any of Lender’s officers, employees,
representatives or agents shall have the right, at any time during normal business hours, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrower. Borrower
shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude such verification process. 
  
 (d) To expedite collection, Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Lender. Lender shall have the right at
all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors owing Accounts to Borrower that their Accounts have been assigned to Lender and to collect such Accounts directly in its own name and to
charge collection costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, to Borrower. 
  
 (e) As and when determined by Lender in its sole discretion, Lender will perform the searches described in clauses (i) and (ii) below against Borrower and Guarantors (the results of which are to be consistent with
Borrower’s representations and warranties under this Agreement), all at Borrower’s expense: (i) UCC searches with the Secretary of State and local filing offices of each jurisdiction where Borrower and/or any Guarantors maintains their
respective executive offices, a place of business or assets; and (ii) judgment, federal tax lien and corporate and partnership tax lien searches, in each jurisdiction searched under clause (i) above.

Account Debtor and shall direct each Account Debtor to make payments to the appropriate Lockbox Account, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, upon any failure to send such notices and directions within ten (10) calendar days after the date of this
Agreement (or ten (10) calendar days after the Person becomes an Account Debtor), to send any and all similar notices and directions to such Account Debtors, and (iii) shall do anything further that may be lawfully required by Lender to secure
Lender and effectuate the intentions of the Loan Documents. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall immediately deliver to Lender all items for which Lender must receive possession to obtain a perfected security interest and all notes,
certificates, and documents of title, Chattel Paper, warehouse receipts, Instruments, and any other similar instruments constituting Collateral. 
  
 2.16.
Power of Attorney 
  
 Lender is
hereby irrevocably made, constituted and appointed the true and lawful attorney for Borrower (without requiring any of them to act as such) with full power of substitution to do the following: (i) endorse the name of any such Person upon any and all
checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to such Person and constitute collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of such Person any financing statements, schedules,
assignments, instruments, documents, and statements that it is or they or are obligated to give Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and (iii) do such other and further acts and deeds in the name of such Person that Lender may deem necessary or
desirable to enforce any Account or other Collateral or to perfect Lender’s security interest or lien in any Collateral. In addition, if any such Person breaches its obligation hereunder to direct payments of Accounts or the proceeds of any
other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account, Lender, as the irrevocably made, constituted and appointed true and lawful attorney for such Person pursuant to this paragraph, may, by the signature or other act of any of Lender’s officers
or authorized signatories (without requiring any of them to do so), direct any federal, state or private payor or fiscal intermediary to pay proceeds of Accounts or any other Collateral to the appropriate Lockbox Account.

final determination, deem applicable hereto. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such limit, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled
shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Lender shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied

Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of any Borrower held by Lender to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens created under the Security Documents, (iii) realize
upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral or securities pledged with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as any Borrower, as applicable, might exercise, (v) collect and send
notices regarding the Collateral, with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which Collateral and/or pledged securities are located, or render any of the foregoing unusable or dispose
of the Collateral and/or pledged securities on such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities, or other sums, and no Borrower shall resist or interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower’s expense, require that all or any
part of the 
  

 30 

 
Collateral be assembled and made available to Lender at any place designated by Lender, (viii) reduce or otherwise change the Facility Cap and/or the Maximum
Term Loan Amount, and/or (ix) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or securities pledged or any Lien thereon. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right, at any time that Borrower fails
to do so, and from time to time, without prior notice, to: (i) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; (ii) pay for the performance of any of Obligations; (iii) discharge taxes or Liens on any of the
Collateral that are in violation of any Loan document unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (iv) pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral. Such expenses and
advances shall be added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Lender and shall be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by Lender shall not be construed as a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Lender.

  
 (b) Borrower agrees that notice received by it at least ten
(10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by
applicable law, any perishable Collateral which threatens to speedily decline in value or which is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Lender without prior notice to Borrower. At any sale or disposition of Collateral or securities
pledged, Lender may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by any Borrower which right is hereby waived and released. Borrower covenants and agrees not to, and not to permit or
cause any of its Subsidiaries to, interfere with or impose any obstacle to Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. Lender, in dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, shall not be
required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process.

all costs and expenses of such collection, storage, lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or delivery and of conducting Borrower’s business and of maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of

required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in each such case, in-house documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses, search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses
and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment of all Obligations whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Lender shall
determine; (iii) third, to the satisfaction of Indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest of record in the Collateral if written notification of demand therefor is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed,
provided, that, if requested by Lender, the holder of a subordinate security interest shall furnish reasonable proof of its interest, and unless it does so, Lender need not address its claims; and (iv) fourth, to the payment of any
surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations or
any of the other items referred to in this section.

 9.3.
Rights of Lender to Appoint Receiver 
  
 Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply
for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Lender to enforce its rights and remedies in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Borrower
and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of
such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. 
  
 9.4.

Rights and Remedies not Exclusive 
  
 Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies Lender may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of
Lender’s rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document, applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Lender described in any Loan
Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Lender otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any
other right or remedy. 
  
 X.
WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS 
  
 10.1.
Waivers 
  
 Except as expressly
provided for herein, Borrower hereby waives setoff, counterclaim, demand, presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description, and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a
defense to any demand under any Loan Document. Borrower hereby waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any action or proceeding brought by Lender to obtain an order of court recognizing the assignment of, or
Lien of Lender in and to, any Collateral. With respect to any action hereunder, Lender conclusively may rely upon, and shall incur no liability to Borrower in acting upon, any request or other communication that Lender reasonably believes to have
been given or made by a person authorized on Borrower’s behalf, whether or not such person is listed on the incumbency certificate delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof. In each such case, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute
Lender’s action based upon such request or other communication, absent manifest error. 
  
 10.2.
Delay; No Waiver of Defaults 
  
 No
course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any provision of any Loan Document, or single or partial exercise of any such provision, or delay, failure or omission on Lender’s part in enforcing any such provision shall affect
the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor or operate as a waiver of such provision or affect the liability of any Borrower or Guarantor or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any party to any Loan Document of any
one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited
solely to the express terms and provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, by completing the Closing under this Agreement and/or by making Advances or funding the Term Loan, Lender does not waive any breach
of any representation or 
  

 32 

 
warranty of under any Loan Document, and all of Lender’s claims and rights resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are specifically
reserved. 
  
 10.3.
Jury Waiver 
  
 EACH PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A
JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
  
 10.4.
Cooperation in Discovery and Litigation 
  
 In any litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding relating to any Loan Document, Borrower waives any and all defenses, objections and counterclaims it may have or could interpose with respect to (i) any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents being deemed to be employees or managing agents of Borrower for purposes of all applicable law or court rules regarding the production of witnesses by notice for testimony (whether in a deposition, at trial or
otherwise), (ii) Lender’s counsel examining any such individuals as if under cross-examination and using any discovery deposition of any of them as if it were an evidence deposition, and/or (iii) using all commercially reasonable efforts to
produce in any such dispute resolution proceeding, at the time and in the manner requested by Lender, all Persons, documents (whether in tangible, electronic or other form) and/or other things under its control and relating to the dispute.

  
 XI.
EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION 
  
 11.1.
Effectiveness and Termination 
  
 Subject to Lender’s right to terminate and cease making Loans upon or after any Event of Default, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the full performance and indefeasible payment in cash of all Obligations,
unless terminated sooner as provided in this Section 11.1. Borrower may terminate this Agreement at any time upon not less than sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice to Lender and upon full performance and indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all Obligations on or prior to such 60th calendar day after Receipt by Lender of such written
notice; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, Borrower shall have no right to terminate this Agreement until after the first anniversary of the Closing Date. All of the Obligations shall be
immediately due and payable upon any such termination on the termination date stated in any notice of termination (the “Termination Date”); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, the
Termination Date shall be effective no earlier than the first Business Day of the month following the expiration of the sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice period. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no
termination of this Agreement shall affect Lender’s rights or any of the Obligations existing as of the effective date of such termination, and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully operative until the Obligations have
been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Lender under the 
  

 33 

 
Security Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of Lender shall continue in full force and effect
notwithstanding the fact that Borrower’s borrowings hereunder may from time to time be in a zero or credit position until all of the Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Nothing herein shall impair or
affect Borrower’s rights hereunder to repay the Term Loan prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date. 
  
 11.2.
Survival 
  
 All obligations,
covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, waivers and indemnities made by Borrower in any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Closing, the making of the Loans and any termination of this
Agreement until all Obligations are fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The obligations and provisions of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.1, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 12.4, 12.7 and 12.9 shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and
any payment, in full or in part, of the Obligations. 
  
 XII.
MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 12.1.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue 
  
 The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to its choice of law provisions. Any judicial proceeding against Borrower with
respect to the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement may be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Maryland. By execution and delivery of each Loan Document to which it is a party,
Borrower (i) accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby, (ii) waives personal service of process, (iii) agrees that service of process upon it may be made by
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof, (iv) waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of
jurisdiction, venue or convenience, and (v) agrees that this loan was made in Maryland, that Lender has accepted in Maryland Loan Documents executed by Borrower and has disbursed Advances under the Loan Documents in Maryland. Nothing shall affect
the right of Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction having jurisdiction. Any judicial proceedings against Lender
involving, directly or indirectly, the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the State of Maryland. All parties acknowledge that they participated in the negotiation and
drafting of this Agreement and that, accordingly, no party shall move or petition a court construing this Agreement to construe it more stringently against one party than against any other. 
  
 12.2.
Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders 
  
 The Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of Lender, Transferees and all future holders of any Note, the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral, and each of their respective successors and assigns. Each Loan
Document shall be binding upon the Persons’ other than Lender that are parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may assign, delegate or transfer any Loan Document or any of its rights or obligations
thereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. No rights are intended to be created under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of any Borrower or Guarantor. Nothing contained in any
Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation to Lender of any other Person’s duty of performance. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LENDER AT ANY TIME AND FROM 
  

 34 

 
TIME TO TIME MAY (I) DIVIDE AND RESTATE ANY NOTE, AND/OR (II) SELL, ASSIGN OR GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS OR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, NOTE, THE OBLIGATIONS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL TO OTHER PERSONS (EACH SUCH TRANSFEREE, ASSIGNEE OR PURCHASER, A “TRANSFEREE”). Each Transferee shall have all of the rights and benefits with respect
to the Obligations, Notes, Collateral and/or Loan Documents held by it as fully as if the original holder thereof, and either Lender or any Transferee may be designated as the sole agent to manage the transactions and obligations contemplated
therein; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Agreement to any Transferee any sum in excess of the sum which Borrower would have been obligated to pay
to Lender had such participation not been effected. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, Lender may disclose to any Transferee all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained under any
provision of any Loan Document. 
  
 12.3.
Application of Payments 
  
 To the
extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any
other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Lender. Any
payments with respect to the Obligations received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as Lender shall decide in its Permitted Discretion. 
  
 12.4.
Indemnity 
  
 Each Borrower jointly
and severally shall indemnify Lender, its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, members, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified
Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel and in-house documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to or arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or
investigation instituted or conducted by any Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by or referred to in, or any matter related to, any Loan Document or any agreement, document or transaction contemplated thereby,
whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. If any Indemnified Person uses in-house counsel for any
purpose for which any Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, each Borrower expressly agrees that its indemnification obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside
legal counsel selected by such Indemnified Person in its Permitted Discretion for the work performed. Lender agrees to give Borrower reasonable notice of any event of which Lender becomes aware for which indemnification may be required under this
Section 12.4, and Lender may elect (but is not obligated) to direct the defense thereof, provided that the selection of counsel shall be subject to Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any
Indemnified Person may, in its reasonable discretion, take such actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to investigate, defend or settle any event or take other remedial or corrective actions with respect thereto as may be necessary for the
protection of such Indemnified Person or the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any insurer agrees to undertake the defense of an event (an “Insured Event”), Lender agrees not to exercise its right to select counsel to

  

 35 

 
defend the event if that would cause any Borrower’s insurer to deny coverage; provided, however, that Lender reserves the right to retain
counsel to represent any Indemnified Person with respect to an Insured Event at its sole cost and expense. To the extent that Lender obtains recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the amounts that any Borrower has
paid to Lender pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 12.4, then Lender shall promptly pay to such Borrower the amount of such recovery. 
  
 12.5.
Notice 
  
 Any notice or request
under any Loan Document shall be given to any party to this Agreement at such party’s address set forth beneath its signature on the signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice
given in the manner required under this Section 12.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by, and shall be deemed to have been received upon (each, a “Receipt”): (i) registered or certified mail, return
receipt requested, on the date on which such received as indicated in such return receipt, (ii) delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit with such courier, or (iii) facsimile or electronic
transmission, in each case upon telephone or further electronic communication from the recipient acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient), as applicable. 
  
 12.6.
Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures 
  
 If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of the Loan Documents which shall be given effect so far as possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan
Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts (which taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and by facsimile transmission, which facsimile signatures shall be considered original
executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it accepts the facsimile signature of each other party. 
  
 12.7.
Expenses 
  
 Borrower shall pay,
whether or not the Closing occurs, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender and/or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees
and expenses and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit
expenses), and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, (i) in any effort to enforce, protect or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, (ii) in connection with
entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and/or any related agreements, documents or instruments, (iii) arising in any way out of administration of the Obligations, (iv) in connection with instituting,
maintaining, preserving, enforcing and/or foreclosing on Lender’s Liens in any of the Collateral or securities pledged under the Loan Documents, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (v) in defending or prosecuting any actions,
claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender’s transactions with Borrower, (vi) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its rights and obligations under any Loan Document and any related agreement, document
or instrument, and/or (vii) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or extension of any Loan Document and/or any related agreement, document or instrument. All of the foregoing shall be 
  

 36 

 
charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the Obligations. If Lender or any of its Affiliates uses in-house counsel for any purpose under any
Loan Document for which Borrower is responsible to pay or indemnify, Borrower expressly agrees that its Obligations include reasonable charges for such work. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon
or measured by Lender’s income or revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements. 
  
 12.8.
Entire Agreement 
  
 This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party constitute the entire agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any,
relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by Borrower and Lender. No provision of this
Agreement may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Lender and Borrower. Each party
hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof. 
  
 12.9.
Lender Approvals 
  
 Unless
expressly provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Lender with respect to any matter that is subject of any Loan Document may be granted or withheld by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. 

 
 12.10.
Confidentiality and Publicity 
  
 Lender reserves the right to review and approve all materials that Borrower or any of its Affiliates prepares that contain Lender’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions
contemplated thereby. Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, use Lender’s name (or the name of any of Lender’s Affiliates) in connection with any of its business operations. Nothing contained in any Loan
Document is intended to permit or authorize Borrower or any of its Affiliates to contract on behalf of Lender. Further, Borrower hereby agrees that Lender or any Affiliate of Lender may (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising
under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes and (ii) use Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar
purposes.  
  
 12.11.
Release of Lender 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, Borrower by entering into this Agreement, shall be deemed to voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally and irrevocably, with specific and express intent, for and on behalf of itself,
it managers, members, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, Affiliates, agents, representatives, accountants, attorneys, successors and assigns and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby
fully and completely releases and forever discharges the Indemnified Parties and any other Person or insurer which may be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any of the Indemnified Parties, or who may be liable for the injury or
damage resulting therefrom (collectively, with the Indemnified Parties, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all actions, causes of action, damages, claims, obligations, 
  

 37 

 
liabilities, costs, expenses and demands of any kind whatsoever, at law or in equity, matured or unmatured, vested or contingent, that any of the Releasing
Parties has against any of the Released Parties as of the date of the Closing. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing release is a material inducement to Lender’s decision to extend to Borrower the financial accommodations hereunder and has
been relied upon by Lender in agreeing to make the Loans. 
  
 12.12.
Agent 
  
 Lender and its
successors and assigns hereby (i) designate and appoint CapitalSource Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its successors and assigns (“CapitalSource”), to act as agent for Lender and its successors and assigns under this
Agreement and all other Loan Documents, (ii) irrevocably authorize CapitalSource to take all actions on its behalf under the provision of this Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and (iii) to exercise all such powers and rights, and to
perform all such duties and obligations hereunder and thereunder. CapitalSource, on behalf of Lender, shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees, charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement and all other Loan
Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its successors and assigns transfer and assign to CapitalSource the right to act as Lender’s agent to enforce all rights and perform all obligations of Lender contained herein and in all of the
other Loan Documents. Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s reasonable request, take such further actions, obtain such consents and approvals and duly execute and deliver such further agreements, amendments, assignments,
instructions or documents as Lender may request to evidence the appointment and designation of CapitalSource as agent for Lender and other financial institutions from time to time party hereto and to the other Loan Documents.
