REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS REVOLVING CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") dated as of March 31, 2003, is entered into between SYNAVANT INC., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and each of Parent's Subsidiaries listed on the signature pages hereto (such Subsidiaries and Parent shall be referred to individually and collectively as "Borrower" or collectively as "Borrowers"), and CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("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 Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) (the "Facility Cap"), and within the Facility Cap, a sublimit of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) to be used for the issuance of standby letters of credit or to cash collateralize obligations to be secured by letters of credit (the "L/C Sublimit"), the proceeds of which shall be used by Borrower for refinancing Borrower's existing obligations and indebtedness, capital expenditures, and working capital needs in connection with Parent and its Subsidiaries' international technological software and services and marketing businesses;

WHEREAS, on the date of this Agreement there are no Guaranties; and

WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Revolving Facility 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 the lesser of either of (a) the Facility Cap or (b) the Availability. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility, which may be drawn, repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 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; provided that after the consummation of the IM Transaction until such time as the parties agree upon financial covenants pursuant to Section 7.1 hereto, any determination as to whether there is availability within the Borrowing Base for Advance shall be made by Lender in its sole discretion. 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 Borrowing Base minus, if applicable, amounts reserved pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, the L/C Exposure (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 Note and other Obligations on the date when due to the extent available and as provided for herein. Upon the earlier to occur of (1) consummation of the IM Transaction or (2) July 1, 2003 (such earlier date being referred to as the "Minimum Balance Commencement Date"), the aggregate Advances outstanding at any one time under the Revolving Facility shall not be less than the lesser of (i) 100% of Availability or (ii) $3,000,000 (not including the L/C Exposure) (the "Minimum Balance"); provided, however that even after the Minimum Balance Commencement Date, the Minimum Balance shall be instituted at Lender's sole discretion, with simultaneous notice to Borrower.

(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 based upon Borrower's actual recent collection history in a manner consistent with Lender's underwriting practices and procedures, including without limitation Borrower's historical returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances (collectively, the "Dilution Items"). Such liquidity factors and the advance rate for Availability may be adjusted by Lender throughout the Term as warranted by Lender's underwriting practices and procedures in its sole credit judgment. Also, 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 Note; Maturity

(a) All Advances under the Revolving Facility shall be evidenced by the 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 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 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 thirty (30) 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 Note and other Obligations shall be due and payable in full upon the earlier of (i) the last day of the Term, (ii) an acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with Article VIII, or (iii) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof (such earlier date being the "Revolving Facility Maturity Date").

2.3 Interest

Interest on outstanding Advances under the Note shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month at an annual rate of Prime Rate plus 2.0%, provided, however, that, notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, the interest on outstanding Advances under the Note shall be not less than 6.5%, 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 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, commencing April 1, 2003, and continuing

until the later of the Revolving Facility Maturity Date and the full performance and irrevocable payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

2.4 Revolving Facility Disbursements; Requirement to Deliver Borrowing Certificate

(a) 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 two (2) but not more than four (4) Business Days before the proposed borrowing date of such requested Advance (the "Borrowing Date"), a completed Borrowing Certificate and relevant supporting documentation reasonably 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.

(b) If Lender has not instituted the Minimum Balance in accordance with this Agreement, each time a request for an Advance is made (and if Lender has instituted the Minimum Balance in accordance with this Agreement, each time a request for an Advance is made that would increase the balance of the outstanding Advances to an amount greater than $3,000,000), and, in any event and regardless of whether an Advance is being requested, on the first Business Day of each week during the Term (and more frequently if Lender shall so request after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) until the Obligations are 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 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.

(c) If a Minimum Balance has been instituted by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender shall also make additional Advances to Borrower without the requirement of a Borrowing Certificate ("Automatic Advance") after Lender has received collections in the Concentration Account. The respective amounts of such Automatic Advances shall be that amount, if any, necessary to make the total outstanding Advances under the Revolving Facility equal to the Minimum Balance. Lender will use its best efforts to make such Automatic Advances on a Business Day that is within two (2) Business Days of the receipt of any collections in the Concentration Account by the Lender which cause the outstanding principal Loans to be less than the Minimum Balance. Borrower hereby represents that any change in the Borrowing Base that would reduce Availability to below $3,000,000 will be reported to Lender within two (2) Business Days. Borrower further represents that all representations and warranties made in the Borrowing Certificate most recently submitted prior to an Automatic Advance shall apply to such Automatic Advance and that Borrower shall notify Lender of any changes thereto.

(d) 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, 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

Parent and Synavant LLC 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 or the Lockbox Bank may require. Parent and Synavant LLC shall ensure that all collections of

their respective Accounts and all other cash payments received by either of them 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 communicate to Parent and Synavant LLC 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 in its Permitted Discretion. To the extent that any Accounts collections of Parent and Synavant LLC or any other cash payments received by Parent and Synavant LLC are not sent directly to the appropriate Lockbox Account but are received by Parent and Synavant LLC or any of their Affiliates, such collections and proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), in the form received, to the appropriate Lockbox Account for immediate transfer to the Concentration Account. All funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under the Revolving Facility shall be applied 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 Parent and Synavant LLC 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 Parent and Synavant LLC, but shall be available as appropriate 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, Parent and Synavant LLC 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 2.5 and the provisions of Section 2.9 shall not apply to Borrower's customer rebate accounts which are custodial accounts that have been established by Borrower for the benefit of certain customers entitled to rebate payments and which are funded by such customers.

2.6 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.

2.7 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, less the L/C Exposure, 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 2.8.

2.8 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.

2.9 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

(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 2.9, 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) In addition to the foregoing, to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, Parent and Synavant LLC have pledged to Lender all of the securities they own in their Subsidiaries pursuant to the Stock Pledge Agreement.

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon the proper filing of the necessary financing statements recordation of the Collateral Patent, Trademark and Copyright Assignment 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.

2.10 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 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 except as provided for in this Agreement.

(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 its Permitted Discretion. In addition, if Accounts of Borrower in an aggregate face amount in excess of $100,000 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 or before the third (3^rd) Business Day following such occurrence and the Borrowing Base shall thereupon be adjusted to reflect such occurrence. If requested by Lender after the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender formal written assignments of all of its Accounts weekly or as often as Lender may reasonably 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 Borrower upon Borrower's written request.

(c) Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred, any of Lender's officers, employees, representatives or agents shall have the right upon three (3) Business Days' prior written notice to Borrower, 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 Permitted 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) below.

(f) Borrower (i) shall provide prompt written notice to its current bank to transfer all items, collections and remittances to the Concentration Account, (ii) shall provide prompt written notice to each Account Debtor that Lender has been granted a lien and security interest in, upon and to all Accounts applicable to such 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.

2.11 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 Borrower upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, and other instruments for the payment of money that are payable to Borrower and constitute collections on its or their Accounts; (ii) execute in the name of Borrower 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 Borrower that Lender may deem necessary or desirable in its Permitted Discretion to enforce any Account or other Collateral or to perfect Lender's security interest or lien in any Collateral. In addition, if Borrower 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 Borrower 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.

2.12 Letters of Credit

(a) Letter of Credit Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, request that Lender issue, and if so requested, Lender shall issue within a reasonable time, for the account of the Borrower one or more Letters of Credit; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if and to the extent that after giving effect to its issuance, the Unfunded L/C Exposure, (i) exceeds the L/C Sublimit or (ii) taken together with the outstanding Advances, including any Funded L/C Exposure, would exceed the lesser of the Facility Cap or the Availability, without duplication.

(b) Related Letter of Credit Restrictions. If a requested Letter of Credit is to have or is for the purpose of replacing an existing Letter of Credit that has, an expiration date falling after the Maturity Date, then Borrower shall, on or before the Termination Date provide a "back-to-back" letter of credit to Lender in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in its sole discretion, issued by a bank satisfactory to Lender, in an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of the then undrawn stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and/or (y) deposit cash in the Lender Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Relevant Percentage of the then undrawn stated amount of each such outstanding Letter of Credit with respect to which a "back-to-back" letter of credit was not issued to Lender, which deposit of cash shall be deemed made to the extent that the amount in the Lender Collateral Account exceeds the outstanding Obligations less the L/C Exposure to be so collateralized as additional collateral security for the Borrower's obligations in connection with such Letters of Credit; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provision of such "back-to-back" letter(s) of credit and/or the funding of such Lender Collateral Account, and the occurrence of the Termination Date, Borrower shall remain liable with respect to all Funded L/C Exposure and Unfunded L/C Exposure, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the earlier of such time as each such Letter of Credit expires by its terms without any draws being made in respect thereof or Lender has received confirmation from the relevant L/C Bank that such Letter of Credit has been returned to the L/C Bank undrawn and marked "cancelled". For this purpose, "Relevant Percentage" means, with respect to the Termination Date, 105%, and with respect to each annual anniversary thereafter, two percent more than the Relevant Percentage for the preceding annual anniversary.

(c) Advances Arising from Letter of Credit Payments. Any payment by Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by Lender of an Advance in the amount of such payment. With respect to each Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.12, Borrower shall be deemed to have certified the statements contained in Article V as of the date the payment constituting such Advance was made by Lender; provided, however, that in the event any such statement was not true and correct as of such date, such Advance shall be repayable on demand; provided, further, that upon any such repayment on demand, the failure of any such statement to be true and correct as of such date shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless the failure of any such statement to be true and correct as of such date would have constituted an Event of Default hereunder even if such repaid Advance had never been made.

(d) Absolute Nature of Loan Obligations Relating to Letters of Credit. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of Advances that arise as a result of payments under Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, to the extent permitted by law, including, without limitation: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the L/C Bank; (iii) the fact that, or any allegation that, any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit is or was forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein is or was untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) any breach of contract or dispute among or between the Borrower, Lender, the L/C Bank, or any other Person; (v) payment by the L/C Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, except for any such payment resulting from the L/C Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or (vii) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder in respect of any such Advance shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights any party hereto may have or might acquire against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any L/C Bank).

(e) Risks Related to Letters of Credit. Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to the use of any Letter of Credit. Each party hereto agrees that the L/C Bank, Lender and their respective directors, officers or employees shall not be liable or responsible, except that Borrower shall not be excused hereby on account of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, for (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) any reference which may be made to this Agreement or to any Letter of Credit in any agreements, instruments or other documents; (iii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such document or endorsement should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged or any statement therein prove to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) payment by the L/C Bank (acting in good faith) against presentation of documents which do not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or (v) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, but the foregoing is without prejudice to any claim that any Loan Party may have against any L/C Bank. Lender may, in connection with any Letter of Credit accept any document that appears on its face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. The determination whether a demand is properly presented under any Letter of Credit prior to its expiration or whether a demand presented under any Letter of Credit is in proper and sufficient form may be made by the Lender in its Permitted Discretion, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower to the extent permitted by law. Borrower hereby waives any right to object to any payment made under any Letter of Credit on presentation of any demand that is in the form provided in the Letter of Credit but varies with respect to punctuation, capitalization, spelling or similar matters of form.

(f) Letter of Credit Fee. On the first day of each month, commencing on the first such day following the Closing Date and continuing thereafter until the date the Unfunded L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero, including on the Termination Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender, a letter of credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee"), computed by applying the Letter of Credit Fee rate set forth in Section 3.8, below, to the Unfunded L/C Exposure from day to day in the prior month or partial month, as the case may be (and, in the case of the first payment of this fee, without duplication of fees paid under Section 3.8, from the Closing Date). The aggregate stated amount available for Letters of Credit guaranteed or issued by Lender from time to time outstanding shall not exceed the L/C Sublimit.

III. FEES AND OTHER CHARGES

3.1 Commitment Fee

The Unused Line Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each successive calendar month (starting with the month in which the Closing Date occurs).

3.3 Collateral Management Fee

Borrower shall pay Lender as additional interest a monthly collateral management fee (the "Collateral Management Fee") equal to 0.15% per month calculated on the basis of the daily average

amount of the balances under the Revolving Facility (excluding any Unfunded L/C Exposure under the L/C Sublimit) outstanding during the preceding month. The Collateral Management Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each successive calendar month (starting with the month in which the Closing Date occurs).

3.4 Early Termination Fee

If (i) Borrower terminates the Revolving Facility under Section 11.1 hereof, (ii) Lender demands or Borrower is otherwise required to make payment in full of the Revolving Facility and/or Obligations relating to the Revolving Facility upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (iii) any payment or reduction of the outstanding balance of the Note and/or the Revolving Facility is made during a bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding or is made pursuant to any plan of reorganization or liquidation or any Debtor Relief Law (each, a "revolver termination"), then, at the effective date of any such revolver termination, Borrower shall pay Lender (in addition to the then outstanding principal, accrued interest and other Obligations relating to the Revolving Facility pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document), as yield maintenance for the loss of bargain and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the applicable Termination Fee.

3.5 Computation of Fees; Lawful Limits

All fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as applicable. In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a 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 first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrower hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lender shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrower and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 3.5 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.

3.6 Default Rate of Interest

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate of interest in effect at such time with respect to the Obligations shall be increased by 3.0% per annum (the "Default Rate").

3.7 Acknowledgement of Joint and Several Liability

Each Borrower acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges that (i) Borrowers are Affiliated entities by common ownership, (ii) each Borrower desires to have the availability of one common credit facility instead of separate credit facilities, (iii) each Borrower has requested that Lender extend such a common credit facility on the terms herein provided, (iv) Lender will be lending against, and relying on a lien upon, all of Borrowers' assets even though the proceeds of any particular loan made hereunder may not be advanced directly to a particular Borrower, (v) each Borrower will nonetheless benefit by the making of all such loans by Lender and the availability of a single credit facility of a size greater than each could independently warrant, and (vi) all of the

representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in the Loan Documents shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each Borrower.

3.8 Letter of Credit Fee

If Lender issues or otherwise obtains Letters of Credit for Borrower, Borrower shall pay Lender a monthly fee of 3.5% per annum of the L/C Sublimit, plus any administrative bank charges, commissions, or expenses incurred or charged by Lender in obtaining such Letters of Credit.

IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

9.1 Rights and Remedies

(a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII above, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in any Loan 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 Collateral be assembled and made available to Lender at any place designated by Lender, (viii) reduce or otherwise change the Facility Cap, 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.

9.2 Application of Proceeds

In addition to any other rights, options and remedies Lender has under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing, renting, selling, or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon exercise of its remedies hereunder shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the payment of 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 or to the Collateral, and to the payment of all sums which Lender may be required or may elect to pay, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other payments that Lender may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, in each such case, reasonable attorneys' fees and all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment of all Obligations as provided herein; (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 procedure 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 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, Lender does not waive any breach of any representation or

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.

XI. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION

11.1 Effectiveness and Termination

Subject to Lender's right to terminate and cease making Advances 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 thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice to Lender and upon full performance and payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than any contingent reimbursement and indemnification Obligations that are not due and payable at or prior to the time that borrowings hereunder have been paid in full which Obligations survive termination pursuant to Section 11.2) on or prior to such 30^th calendar day after Receipt by Lender of such written notice; provided however, that upon approval by Parent's stockholders of consummation of the IM Transaction, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement upon not less than fifteen (15) calendar days' prior written notice to Lender and Lender hereby acknowledges and consents to such sale. 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 thirty (30) 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 (other than any contingent reimbursement and indemnification Obligations that are not due and payable at or prior to the time that borrowings hereunder have been paid in full which Obligations survive termination pursuant to Section 11.2) have been fully performed and paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Lender under the 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 (other than any contingent reimbursement and indemnification Obligations that are not due and payable at or prior to the time that borrowings hereunder have been paid in full which Obligations survive termination pursuant to Section 11.2) have been fully performed and paid in full in cash.

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 Advances 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 and 12.7 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 Borrower 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 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 sole discretion.

12.4 Indemnity

Each Borrower jointly and severally shall indemnify Lender, its Affiliates and its and their respective managers, members, officers, employees, 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 attorneys' fees and all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith 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 sole discretion for the work performed at rates equivalent to the rates shown on Lender's schedule of rate and fees for in-house legal counsel which may be provided to Borrower and adjusted by Lender from time to time. 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 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, (iii) facsimile from the recipient acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient), as applicable; or (iv) except for notices pertaining to a Default or Event of Default, by electronic transmission upon telephone or further electronic communication to confirm receipt.

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 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) 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, (iv) in defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender's transactions with Borrower, and/or (vi) 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 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 commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Lender or such Affiliate in its sole discretion for the work performed at rates equivalent to the rates shown on Lender's schedule of rate and fees for in-house legal counsel which may be provided to Borrower and adjusted by Lender from time to time. 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. Lender

acknowledges that it received from Borrower, prior to the date hereof, a $40,000 deposit which shall be applied against the closing costs and expenses payable by Borrower.

12.8 Entire Agreement; Miscellaneous

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. Time is of the essence.

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 Permitted Discretion.

12.10 Confidentiality and Publicity

Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates, (i) not to transmit or disclose provision of any Loan Document to any Person (other than to Borrower's advisors and officers on a need-to-know basis) without Lender's prior written consent, (ii) to inform all Persons of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions; provided, however, that Lender acknowledges that Borrower intends to file a copy of this Agreement as an exhibit to its periodic reports and will be required to refer to certain material provisions of the Loan Documents in its SEC filings from time to time, and no consent of Lender is required in connection with these disclosures (the "SEC Disclosures"). 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, other than the SEC Disclosures. 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, other than the SEC Disclosures. 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.
