punctual and full payment of all Obligations, including, without limitation, all
charges, fees, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, costs of

waived. Each agreement, covenant, representation and warranty of any Borrowers

agreements, covenants, representations and warranties previously made by
Borrowers. In the event that there shall be any inconsistency between any
provisions of this Fourth Amendment and a provision set forth in any other Loan
Document, the provision most favorable to Agent and Lenders and most restrictive
as to Borrowers shall govern.
Section 6. Release of Claims. Borrowers hereby release, waive and forever
relinquish all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities and causes of action of
whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which they have, may have, or

attorneys, accountants, consultants, successors and assigns, directly or
indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or in any manner connected with (i) any
transaction, event, circumstance, action, failure to act or occurrence of any
sort or type, whether known or unknown, which occurred, existed, was taken,
permitted or begun prior to the execution of this Fourth Amendment with respect
to the obligations, the Loan Documents and/or the administration thereof or the
Obligations created thereby; (ii) any discussions, commitments, negotiations,
conversations or communications with respect to the refinancing with the Agent,
restructuring or collection of any obligations; or (iii) any thing or matter
related to any of the foregoing. The inclusion of this paragraph in this Fourth

for any matter, or a precedent upon which liability may be asserted.

that the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, as amended, are effective to grant
to Agent and Lenders

Lender has made and may make loans and advances and provide other financial
accommodations to Borrower as set forth in that certain Fifth Restated and
Amended Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2000, as
amended, by and between Borrower and Lender (as the same now exists or may
hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or
replaced, the "Loan Agreement"), and other agreements, documents and instruments
referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in connection
therewith or related thereto, including, but not limited to, this Guarantee (all
of the foregoing, together with the Loan Agreement, as the same now exist or may
hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or
replaced, being collectively referred to herein as the "Financing Agreements").
Due to the close business and financial relationships between Borrower and
each and all of the undersigned (individually and collectively, "Guarantors"),
in consideration of the benefits which will accrue to Guarantors and as an
inducement for and in consideration of Lender making loans and advances and
providing other financial accommodations to Borrower pursuant to the Loan
Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, each of Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally agrees in favor of Lender as follows:
1. A. Guarantee.
1.1. Each of Guarantors absolutely and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, guarantees and agrees to be liable for the full and indefeasible
payment and performance when due of the following (all of which are collectively
referred to herein as the "Guaranteed Obligations"): (i) all obligations,
liabilities and indebtedness of any kind, nature and description
1
of Borrower to Lender and/or its affiliates, including principal, interest,
charges, fees, costs and expenses, however evidenced, whether as principal,
surety, endorser, guarantor or otherwise, whether arising under the Loan
Agreement, the other Financing Agreements or otherwise, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, whether arising before, during or after the initial or any
renewal term of the Loan Agreement or after the commencement of any case with
respect to Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar
statute (including, without limitation, the payment of interest and other
amounts, which would accrue and become due but for the commencement of such
case, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part
in any such case and including loans, interest, fees, charges and expenses
related thereto and all other obligations of Borrower or its successors to
Lender arising after the commencement of such case), whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or not due, primary or secondary,
liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, and however acquired by Lender
and (ii) all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and legal
expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation, enforcement and
defense of Borrower's obligations, liabilities and indebtedness as aforesaid to
Lender, the rights of Lender in any collateral or under this Guarantee and all
other Financing Agreements or in any way involving claims by or against Lender
directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the relationships between
Borrower, any of Guarantors or any other Obligor (as hereinafter defined) and
Lender, whether such expenses are incurred before, during or after the initial
or any renewal term of the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements or
after the commencement of any case with respect to Borrower or any of Guarantors
under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar statute.
1.2. This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each of
Guarantors agrees that Lender need not attempt to collect any Guaranteed
Obligations from Borrower, any one of Guarantors or any other Obligor or to
realize upon any collateral, but may require any one of Guarantors to make
immediate payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender when due,
whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise, or at any time thereafter.
Lender may apply any amounts received in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations
to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in whole or in part (including attorneys'
fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender with respect thereto or otherwise
chargeable to Borrower or Guarantors) and in such order as Lender may elect.
1.3. Payment by Guarantors shall be made to Lender at the office of Lender
from time to time on demand as Guaranteed Obligations become due. Guarantors
shall make all payments to Lender on the Guaranteed Obligations free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any setoff,
counterclaim, defense, duties, taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions,
withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. One or more successive or
concurrent actions may be brought hereon against any of Guarantors either in the
same action in which Borrower or any of the other Guarantors or any other
Obligor is sued or in separate actions. In the event any claim or action, or
action on any judgment, based on this Guarantee is brought against any of
Guarantors, each of Guarantors agrees not to deduct, set-off, or seek any
counterclaim for or recoup any amounts which are or may be owed by Lender to any
of Guarantors.
2
1.4. This Guarantee is in addition to (and in no way diminishes, releases
or modifies) any other guarantees or related types of agreements by the
Guarantors.
B. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Guarantee
to the contrary, the liability of the Guarantors herein shall be limited to the
sum of (i) (A) until such time as the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Loan is made in accordance with
Section 9 of that certain Fourth Amendment to Fifth Restated and Amended
Revolving Credit and Security Agreement date the date hereof (the "Fourth
Amendment"): $5,000,000, or (B) from and after the time that the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Loan is
made in accordance with Section 9 of the Fourth Amendment: $0, in each case,
plus (ii) the amount of any Overadvances (under and as defined in) the Loan
Agreement, and plus (iii) costs, expenses and other charges incurred by Lender
in connection with the collection, enforcement, liquidation or defense of this
Guarantee (including, but not limited to attorney's fees and legal expenses).
2. Waivers and Consents.
--------------------
2.1. Notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, the making of loans and
advances and providing other financial accommodations to Borrower and
presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or default
and all other notices to which Borrower or any of Guarantors are entitled are
hereby waived by each of Guarantors. Each of Guarantors also waives notice of
and hereby consents to, (i) any amendment, modification, supplement, extension,
renewal, or restatement of the Loan Agreement and any of the other Financing
Agreements, including, without limitation, extensions of time of payment of or
increase or decrease in the amount of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
interest rate, fees, other charges, or any collateral, and the guarantee made
herein shall apply to the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and
the Guaranteed Obligations as so amended, modified, supplemented, renewed,
restated or extended, increased or decreased, (ii) the taking, exchange,
surrender and releasing of collateral or guarantees now or at any time held by
or available to Lender for the obligations of Borrower or any other party at any
time liable on or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or who is the owner
of any property which is security for the Guaranteed Obligations (individually,
an "Obligor" and collectively, the "Obligors"), including, without limitation,
the surrender or release by Lender of any one of Guarantors hereunder, (iii) the
exercise of, or refraining from the exercise of any rights against Borrower, any
of Guarantors or any other Obligor or any collateral, (iv) the settlement,
compromise or release of, or the waiver of any default with respect to, any of
the Guaranteed Obligations and (v) any financing by Lender of Borrower under
Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or consent to use of cash
collateral by Lender under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bankruptcy Code.
Each of Guarantors agrees that the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
not be diminished and the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall not be
otherwise impaired or affected by any of the foregoing.
2.2. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to this
Guarantee, nor shall any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to or legal or equitable discharge of Borrower in respect of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any one of Guarantors in respect of this
Guarantee, affect, impair or be a defense to this Guarantee. Without limitation
of the foregoing, the liability of Guarantors hereunder shall not be discharged
or impaired in any
3
respect by reason of any failure by Lender to perfect or continue perfection of
any lien or security interest in any collateral or any delay by Lender in
perfecting any such lien or security interest. As to interest, fees and
expenses, whether arising before or after the commencement of any case with
respect to Borrower under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar
statute, Guarantors shall be liable therefor, even if Borrower's liability for
such amounts does not, or ceases to, exist by operation of law. Each of
Guarantors acknowledges that Lender has not made any representations to any of
Guarantors with respect to Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise in
connection with the execution and delivery by Guarantors of this Guarantee and
Guarantors are not in any respect relying upon Lender or any statements by
Lender in connection with this Guarantee.
2.3. Each of Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
relinquishes all statutory, contractual, common law, equitable and all other
claims against Borrower, any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or other
assets of Borrower or any other Obligor, for subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff or other recourse in respect
to sums paid or payable to Lender by each of Guarantors hereunder and each of
Guarantors hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
relinquishes any and all other benefits which Guarantors might otherwise
directly or indirectly receive or be entitled to receive by reason of any
amounts paid by or collected or due from Guarantors, Borrower or any other
Obligor upon the Guaranteed Obligations or realized from their property.
3. Subordination. Payment of all amounts now or hereafter owed to
Guarantors by Borrower or any other Obligor is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the indefeasible payment in full to Lender of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all such amounts and any security and guarantees therefor are
hereby assigned to Lender as security for the Guaranteed Obligations.
4. Intentionally Omitted.
---------------------
5. Account Stated. The books and records of Lender showing the account
between Lender and Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in any action or
proceeding against or involving Guarantors as prima facie proof of the items
therein set forth, and the monthly statements of Lender rendered to Borrower, to
the extent to which no written objection is made within thirty (30) days from
the date of sending thereof to Borrower, shall be deemed conclusively correct
and constitute an account stated between Lender and Borrower and be binding on
Guarantors, absent manifest error.
6. Termination. This Guarantee is continuing, unlimited, absolute and
unconditional. All Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have
been created in reliance on this Guarantee. Each of Guarantors shall continue to
be liable hereunder until one of Lender's officers actually receives a written
termination notice from a Guarantor sent to Lender at its address set forth
above by certified mail, return receipt requested and thereafter as set forth
below. Such notice received by Lender from any one of Guarantors shall not
constitute a revocation or termination of this Guarantee as to any of the other
Guarantors. Revocation or termination hereof by any of Guarantors shall not
affect, in any manner, the rights of Lender or any obligations or duties of any
of Guarantors (including the Guarantor which may have sent such notice) under
this Guarantee with respect to (a) Guaranteed Obligations which have been
4
created, contracted, assumed or incurred prior to the receipt by Lender of such
written notice of revocation or termination as provided herein, including,
without limitation, (i) all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications
of such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not evidenced by new or additional
agreements, documents or instruments executed on or after such notice of
revocation or termination), (ii) all interest, fees and similar charges accruing
or due on and after revocation or termination, and (iii) all attorneys' fees and
legal expenses, costs and other expenses paid or incurred on or after such
notice of revocation or termination in attempting to collect or enforce any of
the Guaranteed Obligations against Borrower, Guarantors or any other Obligor
(whether or not suit be brought), or (b) Guaranteed Obligations which have been
created, contracted, assumed or incurred after the receipt by Lender of such
written notice of revocation or termination as provided herein pursuant to any
contract entered into by Lender prior to receipt of such notice. The sole effect
of such revocation or termination by any of Guarantors shall be to exclude from
this Guarantee the liability of such Guarantor for those Guaranteed Obligations
arising after the date of receipt by Lender of such written notice which are
unrelated to Guaranteed Obligations arising or transactions entered into prior
to such date. Without limiting the foregoing, this Guarantee may not be
terminated and shall continue so long as the Loan Agreement shall be in effect
(whether during its original term or any renewal, substitution or extension
thereof).
7. Reinstatement. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of
collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Lender
is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for
any reason, then the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied by such
payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Guarantee shall
continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received by Lender. Each of Guarantors shall be liable to pay to Lender, and
does indemnify and hold Lender harmless for the amount of any payments or
proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 7 shall remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance
upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 7 shall survive the termination or
revocation of this Guarantee.
8. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Guarantee nor any provision hereof
shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct,
but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Lender.
Lender shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless
such waiver shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender.
Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth
therein. A waiver by Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power
and/or remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether
similar in kind or otherwise.
9. Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver.
9.1. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Guarantee and any
dispute arising out of the relationship between any of Guarantors and Lender,
whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the
internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law).
5
9.2. Each of Guarantors hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and
waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any
action instituted therein arising under this Guarantee or any of the other
Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or incidental to the dealings
of any of Guarantors and Lender in respect of this Guarantee or any of the other
Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether in contract, tort, equity
or otherwise, and agrees that any dispute arising out of the relationship
between any of Guarantors or Borrower and Lender or the conduct of any such
persons in connection with this Guarantee, the other Financing Agreements or
otherwise shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Lender
shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any of Guarantors
or his or her property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Lender
deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on any collateral at any time
granted by Borrower or any of Guarantors to Lender or to otherwise enforce its
rights against any of Guarantors or his or her property).
9.3. Each of Guarantors hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon such Guarantor and consents that all such service of process may be
made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to his or her address
set forth on the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to
be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the
U.S. mails, or, at Lender's option, by service upon any of Guarantors in any
other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30)
days after such service, any of Guarantors so served shall appear in answer to
such process, failing which such Guarantors shall be deemed in default and
judgment may be entered by Lender against Guarantors for the amount of the claim
and other relief requested.
9.4. EACH OF GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY
OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS, OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED
OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF ANY OF GUARANTORS AND LENDER IN RESPECT OF THIS
GUARANTEE OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF GUARANTORS HEREBY AGREES
AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY OF GUARANTORS OR LENDER MAY
FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF GUARANTORS AND LENDER TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
9.5. Lender shall not have any liability to Guarantors (whether in tort,
contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Guarantors in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships
contemplated by this Guarantee, or any act, omission or event occurring in
connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable
judgment or court order binding on Lender that the losses were the result of
acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any
such litigation, Lender shall be
6
entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good
faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the
terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
10. Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in
writing and (a) made to Lender at its address set forth above and to each of
Guarantors at his or her address set forth below, or to such other address as
either party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with
this provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in
person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile
transmission, immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt; if by
nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the
next business day, one (1) business day after sending; and if by certified mail,
return receipt requested, five (5) days after mailing.
11. Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Guarantee is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
invalidate this Guarantee as a whole, but this Guarantee shall be construed as
though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed
and enforced only to such extent as shall be permitted by applicable law.
12. Entire Agreement. This Guarantee represents the entire agreement and
understanding of this parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and
discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and
contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written.
13. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon Guarantors
and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, endorsees, successors and
assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors, endorsees,
transferees and assigns.
14. Construction. All references to the term "Guarantors" wherever used
herein shall mean each and all of Guarantors and their respective heirs,
