2.06    Interest.

(a)       Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Floating Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)       (i)        If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)       While any Event of Default exists, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

24

(iii)      Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)       Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.07    Fees. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to the Lender a fee equal to 0.50% of the Commitment, payable on the Closing Date. Such fee shall be fully earned when payable and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.08    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Lender’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day.

2.09    Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Notes shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to the Notes and endorse thereon the date, Type, amount and maturity of each Loan and payments with respect thereto. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.10    Payments Generally.

(a)       All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

25

(b)       If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c)       The Loan Parties irrevocably authorize the Lender to debit Bank of America Deposit Account #0055151344 (ABA number: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; Account Name: Mentor Management, Inc.) (or such other account as the Loan Parties may have with the Lender from time to time) for all payments due under this Agreement.

(d)       Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.11    Borrowing Agent. Each of the Borrowers hereby directs the Lender to disburse the proceeds of each Loan, to or at the direction of Mentor (the “Borrowing Agent”), and such distribution will, in all circumstances, be deemed to be made to the applicable Borrower(s), From time to time, the Borrowing Agent shall further distribute the proceeds of the Loans to the particular Borrower or Borrowers, and each Borrower represents and warrants that the subsequent receipt and use of such proceeds and benefits by any particular Borrower inures to the economic benefit directly and indirectly of the other Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates, appoints, authorizes and directs the Borrowing Agent (including each of the Borrowing Agent’s officers) to act on behalf of such Borrower for the purposes set forth in this Section 2.11, and to act on behalf of such Borrower for purposes of giving notice to the Lender of requests for Loans, conversions and for otherwise giving and receiving notices and certifications under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and otherwise for taking all other action contemplated to be taken by the Borrowing Agent (including each of the Borrowing Agent’s officers) hereunder or under any other Loan Document. The Lender is entitled to rely and act on the instructions of the Borrowing Agent, by and through any officer, on behalf of each of the Borrowers. Each Borrower covenants and agrees to assume liability for and to protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, causes of action, costs, charges and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees), which may be incurred by, imposed or asserted against the Lender, howsoever arising or incurred because of, out of or in connection with the disbursements of any Loan in accordance with this Section 2.11; provided, however, the liability of the Borrowers pursuant to this indemnity shall not extend to any liability, obligation, damage, penalty, claim, cause of action, cost, charge or expense caused by or arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. The Borrowing Agent shall maintain detailed accounting and records of all disbursements and payments made to each Borrower with respect to proceeds of Loans received by it. Not in any way in limitation of any other provisions set forth herein, such books and records may be reviewed and copied by the Lender at the Borrowing Agent’s expense at reasonable intervals and upon reasonable notice given by the Lender to the Borrowing Agent.

(c)       If the Commitment is increased in accordance with this Section, the Lender and the Borrowing Agent shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”).

(d)       As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrowing Agent shall deliver to the Lender a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowing Agent, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.12, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.01 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists.

(e)       This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

2.13    Designated Borrowers.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Lender shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form and content satisfactory to the Lender as may be required by the Lenders in its reasonable discretion, and a Note signed by such new Applicant Borrower. If the Lender agrees that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Lender shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit C (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Borrowing Agent specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon from and after such Applicant Borrower shall be a “Designated Borrower” and the Lender agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement. Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall at all times remain a direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Mentor for so long as such Person is a Designated Borrower.

27

(b)       Each Subsidiary of Mentor that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13 hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrowing Agent as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, as more particularly set forth in Section 2.11 above.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01    Taxes.

(a)       Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)       Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)       Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)       Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

3.02    Illegality. If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Floating Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lender to make LIBOR Floating Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans

28

to LIBOR Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall, immediately upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Floating Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans.

3.03    Inability to Determine LIBOR Floating Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Floating Rate Loan or a conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Floating Rate Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount of such LIBOR Floating Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate with respect to a proposed LIBOR Floating Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate with respect to a proposed LIBOR Floating Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrowing Agent. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Floating Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of or conversion to a LIBOR Floating Rate Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04    Increased Costs.

(c)       Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)                        impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate);

(ii)                     subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or

(iii)                  impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the applicable Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d)       Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or its Lending Office or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital

29

or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(e)       Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(f)        Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.05    Mitigation Obligations. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.06    Survival. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to Mentor, automatically the Commitment shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: the Lender may (i) by notice to Mentor declare the Commitment to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitment shall immediately terminate; (ii) by notice to Mentor, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and (iii) exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents or that are otherwise available at law or in equity.

ARTICLE IX.
GUARANTY

9.01    Guaranty. Each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender: (a) the prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from each other Loan Party to the Lender, including principal, interest, premiums and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and attorneys’ fees and expenses); and (b) each other Loan Party’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents. Each Loan Party’s obligations to the Lender under this Section 9.01 are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Loan Party individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Loan Party (other than Holdings and Mentor) individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law. Each Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the obligations under this Article IX.

9.02    Payment. If any Loan Party shall default in payment or performance of any of the Obligations, whether principal, interest, premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and attorneys’ fees and expenses), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of this Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, then any or all of the other Loan Parties will, upon demand thereof by the Lender, fully pay to the Lender, subject to any restriction on such Person’s Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 9.01 hereof, an amount equal to all the Obligations then due and owing.

9.03    Absolute Rights and Obligations. The guaranty set forth in Section 9.01 hereof is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Article IX shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Loan Party hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Article IX by reason of:

(a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability against any other Loan Party of the Credit Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, or any other guaranty of any of the Obligations (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);

(b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;

61

(c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations, of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Loan Party, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Obligations, for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Loan Party, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;

(e) any dissolution of any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement;

(f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, this Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;

(g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Obligations (including without limitation the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Loan Party and obligations arising under any other guaranty now or hereafter in effect);

(h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Loan Party, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any such Loan Party) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Loan Party, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to the assets of any other Loan Party or to any Collateral.

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Article IX and the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided.

9.04 Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.

(a)       Each Loan Party hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Article IX; (ii) the Lender’s heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of the other Loan Parties, whether pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments,

62

modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 9.03 hereof. Each Loan Party agrees that the Lender may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Loan Party from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Loan Party hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.

(b)       Each Loan Party hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Loan Party of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Article IX may be enforced by the Lender upon demand by the Lender to such Loan Party without the Lender being required, such Loan Party expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Lender, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by any other Person on account of the Obligations or any guaranty thereof.

(c)       Each Loan Party agrees with respect to this Article IX that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Obligation unless and until 93 days immediately following the date that all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in cash and the Commitment and all other obligations of the Lender hereunder have terminated. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by any Loan Party against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to any Loan Party on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Lender may elect.

(d)       Each Loan Party further agrees with respect to this Article IX that this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time payment received by the Lender in respect of any Obligation is rescinded or must be restored for any reason, or is repaid by the Lender in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or threatened avoidance claim.

(e) The agreements in this Article IX shall survive repayment of all of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(c)       Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the any Loan Party is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a)       The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender and the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in

66

subsection (c) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)       The Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to documentation acceptable to the Lender and the assignee. From and after the effective date specified in such documentation, such Eligible Assignee shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by the Lender, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest so assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment of all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the Lender and the assignee, and shall execute and deliver any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to give effect to such assignment and to provide for the administration of this Agreement after giving effect thereto.

(c)       The Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or a Loan Party’s or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or Loans); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Loan Parties for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Subject to subsection (d) of this Section, each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 3.04 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were the Lender.

(d)       A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Mentor’s prior written consent. A Participant that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Mentor is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to provide to the Lender such tax forms prescribed by the IRS as are necessary or desirable to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax.

(e)       The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under the Notes, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

67

10.07 Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Loan Party, (g) with the consent of Mentor or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to such Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party, provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify Mentor promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the

68

excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
