execution and delivery by the Guarantor of (a) a Guaranty by Corporation in favor of the Lender,
dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Guaranty”), pursuant to which the Guarantor guaranteed the payment
and performance of all obligations of Global, Excell, FAST, TPS, Southeastern, BHR, SPM, SGHR and
Main Line arising under or pursuant to the Former Credit Agreement as well as (b) additional
documents including, without limitation the following, each dated as of March 31, 2006: a Patent
and Trademark Security Agreement by and between the Guarantor and the Lender, a Copyright Security
Agreement in favor of the Lender, a Pledge Agreement in favor of the Lender and a Security
Agreement by and between the Guarantor the Lender (with the Guaranty and all other agreements,
instruments and documents by and between the Guarantor and the Lender or by the Guarantor in favor
of the Lender, collectively, the “Guarantor Documents” and each, a “Guarantor Document”).
The Borrowers and the Lender have agreed to amend and restate the Former Credit Agreement
pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.
As a further condition to continuing to extend credit to each Borrower under the Credit
Agreement, the Lender has required the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Guarantor.
