the Loan Documents (ii) for the avoidance of doubt hereby grants to Lender a
continuing security interest in and lien on the Collateral as security for the

interests, security and/or remedies of the Lender. For and in
consideration of the agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and
valuable consideration, the Borrower and each Guarantor unconditionally and

all liabilities, obligations, duties, promises or indebtedness of any kind of
the Released Parties to the Borrower or the Guarantors which existed, arose or
occurred at any time from the beginning of the world to the execution of this
Agreement, and (y) all claims, offsets, causes of action, suits or defenses of
any kind whatsoever (if any), which the Borrower or any Guarantor might
otherwise have against the Released Parties, or any of them, in either case (x)

obligation, indebtedness, claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or
matter of any kind which existed, arose or occurred at any time from the

Forbearance
by Lender.
(a) The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Identified Events of Default have
occurred and are continuing, and further acknowledges and agrees that the Lender
has the right to immediately accelerate and commence enforcement of its rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law as a result
thereof. In consideration of the Borrower’s performance and strict
compliance in accordance with each term and condition of this Agreement (TIME
BEING OF THE ESSENCE), as and when due, the Lender shall forbear from enforcing
its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law as a result
of the Identified Events of Default until the earliest of: (i) 4:00 pm (Boston
time) on February 28, 2011, (ii) the date of the occurrence of any
Default Event or Event of Default (excluding any
Identified Events of Default) under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document, (iii) the date of the occurrence of any breach by Borrower of any of
the terms set forth in this Agreement, including but not limited to the
obligations set forth in Section 6 hereof or the obligations set forth in
Section 6 of the Eleventh Amendment, as adopted and incorporated by reference
herein; or (iv) the date on which the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any affiliate
of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any person or entity claiming by or through
either the Borrower or any Guarantor joins in, assists, cooperates or
participates as an adverse party or adverse witness in any suit or other
proceeding against the Lender, or any of its affiliates, relating to the
Obligations or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, this
Agreement or any other documents, agreements or instruments executed in
connection with this Agreement. Each of the events described in the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are referred to herein as a “Termination Event,”
and the date of the earliest to occur of any Termination Event is referred to
herein as the “Forbearance Termination
Date.” The period commencing as of the Forbearance and Twelfth
Amendment Agreement Effective Date (as defined below) and ending on the
Forbearance Termination Date shall be referred to as the “Forbearance
Period.” The Borrower agrees that nothing contained in this
Agreement or the fact that the Lender may, in the Lender’s sole discretion, make
Revolving Advances to the Borrower during the Forbearance Period, shall
constitute a waiver of the Identified Events of Default or of any other Default
Events or Events of Default, whether now existing or hereafter arising under the
Loan Documents.
(b) During
the Forbearance Period, Lender agrees temporarily to reduce the monthly
principal and interest payment owed to it pursuant the Term Note to interest
only, such reduction to be effective through the Expiration Date.
(c) The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of the Forbearance
Termination Date, Lender shall have the right to immediately commence
enforcement of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable
law in respect of all then existing Default Events and Events of Default,
including the Identified Events of Default.
5.
Amendment

Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Expiration
Date” and “Term Loan Maturity Date” and replacing them with the
following:
“Expiration Date”
means February 28, 2011.
- 5
-
Exhibit
4.84
“Term Loan Maturity
Date” means February 28, 2011.
6. Terms of
Forbearance. Except to the
extent expressly modified by this Agreement, the terms of the Eleventh
Amendment, including but not limited to the terms of forbearance set forth in
Section 6 thereof, shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated by
reference herein. The failure to comply with any of the requirements,
agreements, milestones or covenants set forth in Section 6 of the Eleventh
Amendment shall constitute a Termination Event.
7. Remedies
Following Termination Event.
(a) On
and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, upon written notice to
Borrower, and in each case without any further demand, presentment, notice
and/or other action of any nature by the Lender (all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower), and without limiting any other remedy
available to the Lender under any other agreement, document or instrument or
under applicable law, the Forbearance Period shall terminate, the Lender shall
be immediately and permanently relieved of its forbearance obligations set forth
in this Agreement, and (1) at the Lender’s option, upon written notice to
Borrower, the Lender may accelerate the obligations due under the Loan Documents
and declare the full amount of such obligations to be immediately due and
payable (without further notice or demand), and (2) the Lender may proceed
to enforce its rights under and in respect of the Loan Documents and applicable
law, which rights and remedies are expressly reserved. The failure
(or delay) of the Lender in exercising any remedy after any particular
Termination Event shall not constitute a waiver of such remedy or any other
remedy in that or in any subsequent instance, or otherwise prejudice the rights
of the Lender in any manner.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower expressly agrees that, at
any time after seven business days following written notice by the Lender to the
Borrower of the occurrence of a Termination Event (the "Notice
Period"), the Lender may seek the appointment of a receiver, trustee or similar
official to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to
operate same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the
appointment of such a receiver. If the Borrower fails by the end of
the Notice Period to initiate a legal proceeding to halt the appointment of a
receiver, the Borrower will be deemed to irrevocably consent to and waive any
right to object to or otherwise contest the appointment of a receiver, trustee
or similar official and will be deemed to have (i) granted such waiver and
consent knowingly after having discussed the implications thereof with its
counsel; (ii) acknowledged that (A) the uncontested right to have a receiver,
trustee or similar official appointed is considered essential by the Lender in
connection with the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder
and under the Loan Documents, and (B) the availability of such remedies under
the foregoing circumstances was a material factor in inducing the Lender to
enter into this Agreement; and (iii) in furtherance of the Lender’s rights under
this Section 7(b), agreed to enter into any and all stipulations in any legal
actions, or agreements or other instruments in connection with the appointment
of a receiver as provided for herein and to cooperate fully with the Lender in
connection with the assumption and exercise of control by the receiver, trustee
or similar official over all or any portion of the Collateral.

Exhibit
4.84
11. Business
Purpose; Compliance With Usury Laws. Borrower
represents and warrants to Lender that the Loans are loans made to an entity
solely for business purposes. All agreements between Borrower and
Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration of maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan
Documents or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
the use or the forbearance of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents
exceed the maximum rate of interest permissible under applicable
law. As used herein, the term "applicable law" shall
mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided, however, that in the
event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of
interest, then such indebtedness shall be governed by such new law as of its
effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the
intent of Borrower and Lender in the execution and delivery of this Agreement to
contract in strict compliance with the laws that are applicable to the Loans as
set forth in the Loan Documents from time to time in effect. If,
under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof
or of any of the Loan Documents at the time performance of such provision shall
be due, shall exceed the limits prescribed by such applicable law, then the
obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to such applicable
limit, and if under or from any circumstances whatsoever Lender should ever
receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such
amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of
interest.
12. Assignment. Borrower may not
assign, delegate or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations
hereunder any delegation, transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be
null and void. No rights are intended to be created under this
Agreement for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental
beneficiary of Borrower or any other person or entity other than
Lender. Lender’s ability to assign, sell or transfer all
of any part of this Agreement shall be governed by the Loan Agreement; provided
however, notwithstanding anything in the Loan Agreement to the contrary, there
shall be no limitations on the Lender’s right to assign its right, title and
interest in and to the Borrower Sale Fee or the Borrower Refinancing Fee (as
each term is defined in the Eleventh Amendment). Borrower agrees
hereby that, upon receiving notice information for said assignee, Borrower shall
deliver to said assignee any and all notices and reports to said assignee that
Borrower is required to provide to Lender under the Loan Documents.
13. Entire
Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. There are no
other understandings, express or implied, between Lender, Borrower or Guarantor
regarding the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, orally
but only by a written agreement executed and approved in accordance with Section
7(c) of the Loan Agreement.
14. Choice of
Law. The validity of
this Agreement, its construction, interpretation and enforcement, and the rights
of the parties hereunder, shall be determined under, governed by, and construed
in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard
to conflicts of laws principles.
15. Construction. This Agreement
constitutes a Loan Document. Upon and after the Forbearance and
Twelfth Amendment Agreement Effective Date, each reference in the Loan Agreement
to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “herein,” “hereof” or words of like import
referring to the Loan Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents
to “the Loan Agreement,” “thereunder,” “therein,” “thereof,” or words of like
import referring to the Loan Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the
Loan Agreement as amended hereby.

16. Counterparts;
Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Mail. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered, shall be
deemed an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one
and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail also shall deliver a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver a manually executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement.
