(ii) Agent or the Senior Agent shall have notified such holders of Subordinated Debt, within one hundred eighty (180) days of any such payment or distribution, of the facts by reason of which such collection or receipt so contravenes this Article 13;

then such holders of Subordinated Debt will deliver such payment or distribution, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans in full in cash, to the holders of such Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such holders of Subordinated Debt as the property of the holders of such Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans. If after any amount is delivered pursuant to this Section 13.9(a), whether or not such amounts have been applied to the payment of Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans, and the outstanding Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans shall thereafter be paid in full in cash by the Company or otherwise other than pursuant to this Section 13.9(a), the holders of Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans shall return to such holders of Subordinated Debt an amount equal to the amount delivered to such holders of Senior Financing or the Senior

Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 13.9(a). Any optional prepayment made in respect of the Subordinated Debt that violates this Agreement shall also be subject to this Section 13.9(a).

(b) If:

(ii) the Agent shall have notified such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes, within one hundred eighty (180) days of any such payment or distribution, of the facts by reason of which such collection or receipt so contravenes this Article 13;

then such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes will deliver such payment or distribution, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Subordinated Notes in full in cash, to the holders of such Senior Subordinated Notes and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes as the property of the holders of such Senior Subordinated Notes. If after any amount is delivered to the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 13.9(b), whether or not such amounts have been applied to the payment of Senior Subordinated Notes, and the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes shall thereafter be paid in full in cash by the Company or otherwise other than pursuant to this Section 13.9(b), the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes shall return to such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes an amount equal to the amount delivered to such holders of Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 13.9(b).

13.10 Obligations Not Impaired.

(a) No Impairment of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans and no right of any present or future holder of any Senior Subordinated Notes to enforce the subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) No Impairment of Subordinated Debts. Nothing contained in this Section 13.10 shall impair, as between the Company and any holder of Subordinated Debt, the obligation of the Company to pay to such holder the principal thereof and prepayment premium, if any, and interest thereon as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or prevent any holder of any Subordinated Debt from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or under this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, all subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Financing and the Senior Term C Loans to receive cash,

Securities or other property otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of Subordinated Debt.

13..11 Payment of Debt; Subrogation. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Financing and Senior Term C Loans in cash, the holders of Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated to all rights of any holder of Senior Financing or any holder of Senior Term C Loans to receive any further payments or distributions applicable thereto until the Subordinated Debt shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of Subordinated Debt by reason of such subrogation, of cash, Securities or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans, on the one hand, and the holders of Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans and not on account of Subordinated Debt. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Subordinated Notes in cash, the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes shall be subrogated to all rights of any holder of Senior Subordinated Notes to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Subordinated Notes until the Junior Subordinated Notes shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes by reason of such subrogation, of cash, Securities or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Subordinated Notes and not on account of Junior Subordinated Notes.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Global Dosimetry Solutions, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to American Capital Strategies, Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“ACAS”), its successors and assigns (with ACAS, the “Holder”), the principal sum of [ ] DOLLARS ($[ ]) (the “Principal Amount”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Note and Equity Purchase Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of October [___], 2005, between the Company, the Purchasers identified on Annex A thereto, and American Capital Financial Services, Inc., as Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). All terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

Payments of principal of, interest on and any premium with respect to this Senior Term D Note are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America by check mailed and addressed to the registered Holder hereof at the address shown in the register maintained by the Company for such purpose or, at the option of the Holder, in such manner and at such other place in the United States of America as the Holder hereof shall have designated to the Company in writing.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Senior Term D Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay, and the Holder shall not be permitted to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive, any compensation which constitutes interest under applicable law in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law.

This Senior Term D Note is one of a series of Senior Term D Notes Due October [___], 2011 issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Each Holder of this Senior Term D Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have agreed to the provisions and to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement.

This Senior Term D Note is transferable only by surrender hereof in accordance with Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of this Senior Term D Note.

This Senior Term D Note is also subject to optional prepayment, in whole or in part, at the times and on the terms specified in the Purchase Agreement, but not otherwise.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the unpaid principal of this Senior Term D Note may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price (including any applicable premium) and with the effect provided in the Purchase Agreement.

Payments of principal, interest on and any premium with respect to this Senior Term D Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.

Time is of the essence of this Senior Term D Note. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waive presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of maturity, notice of non-payment, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and any exemption, each in respect of this Senior Term D Note.

In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due under this Senior Term D Note or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Purchasers exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would otherwise be payable to Agent or Purchasers in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law, the interest and fees shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under such Law. If from any circumstance, Agent or Purchasers shall have received anything of value deemed interest by applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Senior Term D Notes, in such manner as may be determined by the Agent, and not to the payment of fees or interest, or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the Senior Term D Notes, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Senior Term D Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Senior Term D Note is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating any other provision of this Senior Term D Note.

This Senior Term D Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be deemed to be contracts under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of said State, except for its rules relating to the conflict of laws.

Each Holder of this Revolving Note will be deemed, by its acceptance hereof, to have agreed to the provisions and to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement.

This Revolving Note is transferable only by surrender hereof in accordance with Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of this Revolving Note.

This Revolving Note is also subject to optional prepayment, in whole or in part at the times and on the terms specified in the Purchase Agreement, but not otherwise.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the unpaid principal of this Revolving Note may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at the price (including any applicable premium) and with the effect provided in the Purchase Agreement.

Payments of principal, interest on and any premium with respect to this Revolving Note are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.

Time is of the essence of this Revolving Note. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of maturity, notice of non-payment, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and any exemption, each in respect of this Revolving Note.

In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts due under this Revolving Note or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to Purchasers exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would otherwise be payable to Agent or Purchasers in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law, the interest and fees shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under such Law. If from any circumstance, Agent or Purchasers shall have received anything of value deemed interest by applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Revolving Notes, in such manner as may be determined by the Agent, and not to the payment of fees or interest, or if such excess interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the Revolving Notes, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Revolving Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Revolving Note is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating any other provision of this Revolving Note.

This Revolving Note and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be deemed to be contracts under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of said State, except for its rules relating to the conflict of laws.
