Revolving Loans made by the Bank may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, borrowed again up to, but not including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date unless the Revolving Loans are otherwise terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement. The Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower for the purpose of working capital. (b) Revolving Loan Interest and Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(b), the principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Loan Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on October 5, 2006 and continuing on the 5th day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Any amount of principal or interest on the Revolving Loans which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest payable on demand at the Default Rate. (c) Revolving Loan Principal Repayments. (i) Mandatory Principal Prepayments. All Revolving Loans hereunder shall be repaid by the Borrower on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless payable sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. In the event the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans hereunder exceed the Revolving Loan Availability, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand of any kind, immediately make such repayments of the Revolving Loans or take such other actions as shall be necessary to eliminate such excess. (ii) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, without any prepayment penalty other than those set forth herein. If, for any reason, a Revolving Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period, whether voluntary, involuntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, each such prepayment of a Revolving Loan will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, penalties and charges incurred by the Bank as a result of the early termination or breakage of a Revolving Loan on a date other than the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Period, plus the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable during the Interest Period on the Revolving Loan prepaid had it not been prepaid, exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic certificate of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market, or other appropriate money market selected by the Bank, for a period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Loan. The amount of any such loss or expense payable by the Borrower to the Bank under this section shall be determined in the Bank's reasonable discretion based upon the assumption that the Bank funded its loan commitment for Revolving Loans in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which the Bank deems appropriate and practical, provided, however, that the Bank is not obligated to accept a deposit in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in order to charge interest on a Revolving Loan at the Loan Rate. 2.2 Term Loan.

The Term Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, but shall be due in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date, unless the credit extended under the Term Loan is otherwise terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement. (b) Term Loan Interest and Payments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.2(a)(ii), the principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Loan Rate. Principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan outstanding from time to time, shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on October 5, 2006 and continuing on the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month thereafter, in equal monthly principal installments of One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven Dollars and No Cents ($166,667.00), together with an additional amount representing accrued interest as set forth above, beginning on October 5, 2006, and continuing on the fifth (5th) day of each month thereafter, with a final payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest due on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

The Borrower may from time to time prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, without any prepayment penalty other than those set forth herein, subject to the following conditions: (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to Ten Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($10,000.00) or a higher integral multiple of Five Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($5,000.00); and (ii) any prepayment of the entire principal balance shall include accrued interest to date of such prepayment and payment in full of all other Obligations then due and payable. If, for any reason, the Term Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period, whether voluntary, involuntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, each such prepayment of the Term Loan will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and any and all reasonable costs, expenses, penalties and charges incurred by the Bank as a result of the early termination or breakage of the Term Loan on a date other than the last Business Day of the applicable Interest Period, plus the amount, if any, by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable during the Interest Period on the Term Loan prepaid had it not been prepaid, exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by the Bank by placing the amount prepaid on deposit in the domestic certificate of deposit market, the eurodollar deposit market, or other appropriate money market selected by the Bank, for a period starting on the date on which it was prepaid and ending on the last day of the Interest Period for the Term Loan. The amount of any such loss or expense payable by the Borrower to the Bank under this section shall be determined in the Bank's reasonable discretion based upon the assumption that the Bank funded its loan commitment for the Term Loan in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which the Bank deems appropriate and practical, provided, however, that the Bank is not obligated to accept a deposit in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in order to charge interest on the Term Loan at the Loan Rate. (d) Recharacterization of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that Borrower used all or a part of the proceeds of Revolving Loans, directly or indirectly, to make a payment of any amounts owing under the Term Loan, Lender may, in addition to all other remedies at law or at equity, at its sole option, retroactively reclassify such payments as payments on amounts owing under the Revolving Loans. 2.3 Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment. 3.

Fisbeck, or any other individual authorized in writing by either of them unless such Person's authority to so act has been revoked by the Borrower in writing previously received by the Bank.

The Bank is authorized to rely on any written, verbal, electronic, telephonic or telecopy loan requests which the Bank believes in its good faith judgment to emanate from a properly authorized representative of the Borrower, whether or not that is in fact the case. The Borrower does hereby irrevocably confirm, ratify and approve all such advances by the Bank and does hereby indemnify the Bank against losses and expenses (including court costs, attorneys' and paralegals' fees) and shall hold the Bank harmless with respect thereto. 6. SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS. 6.1 Security for Obligations. As security for the payment of the Obligations, the Borrower does hereby pledge, assign, transfer and deliver to the Bank and does hereby grant to the Bank a continuing and unconditional security interest in and to any and all property of the Borrower, of any kind or description, tangible or intangible, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, including, but not limited to, the following (all of which property, along with the products and proceeds therefrom, are individually and collectively referred to as the "Collateral"): (a) all property of, or for the account of, the Borrower now or hereafter coming into the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to, the Bank or any agent or bailee for the Bank or any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of the Bank or any participant with the Bank in the Loans (whether for safekeeping, deposit, collection, custody, pledge, transmission or otherwise), including all earnings, dividends, interest, or other rights in connection therewith and the products and proceeds therefrom, including the proceeds of insurance thereon; and (b) the additional property of the Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, and wherever now or hereafter located, together with all additions and accessions thereto, substitutions for, and replacements, products and proceeds therefrom, and all of the Borrower's books and records and recorded data relating thereto (regardless of the medium of recording or storage), together with all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all computer software required to utilize, create, maintain and process any such records or data on electronic media, identified and set forth as follows: (i) All Accounts and all Goods whose sale, lease or other disposition by the Borrower has given rise to Accounts and have been returned to, or repossessed or stopped in transit by, the Borrower, or rejected or refused by an Account Debtor; (ii) All Inventory, including, without limitation, raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods; (iii) All Goods (other than Inventory), including, without limitation, embedded software, Equipment, vehicles, furniture and Fixtures; (iv) All Software and computer programs; (v) All Securities, Investment Property, Financial Assets and Deposit Accounts; (vi) All Chattel Paper, Electronic Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents, Letter of Credit Rights, all proceeds of letters of credit, Health care insurance Receivables, Supporting Obligations, notes secured by real estate, Commercial Tort Claims and General Intangibles, including Payment Intangibles; (vii) All real property; and (viii) All insurance policies and proceeds insuring the foregoing property or any part thereof, including unearned premiums provided, however until an Event of Default has occurred, Borrower may settle all claims and receive all such proceeds so long as the value of the Collateral is not impaired.. 6.2 Possession and Transfer of Collateral. Until an Event of Default has occurred hereunder, the Borrower shall be entitled to possession or use of the Collateral. The cancellation or surrender of the Notes, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of the Bank to retain the Collateral for any other of the Obligations. The Borrower shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), license, lease or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to any of the Collateral except in the ordinary course of business. 6.3 Financing Statements. The Borrower shall, at the Bank's request, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver to the Bank such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as the Bank reasonably deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected first security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Bank, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever (except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 8 hereof). The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of the Borrower or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or within greater detail, and (b) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Borrower, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. The Borrower agrees to furnish any such information to the Bank promptly upon request. The Borrower further ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements and/or amendments thereto, executed and filed by the Bank in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Agreement. 6.4 Additional Collateral. The Borrower shall deliver to the Bank immediately upon its demand, such other collateral as the Bank may from time to time request, should the value of the Collateral, in the Bank's sole and absolute discretion, materially decline, deteriorate, depreciate or become impaired, and does hereby grant to the Bank a continuing security interest in such other collateral, which, when pledged, assigned and transferred to the Bank shall be and become part of the Collateral. The Bank's security interests in each of the foregoing Collateral shall be valid, complete and perfected whether or not covered by a specific assignment. 6.5 Preservation of the Collateral. The Bank may, but is not required to, take such action from time to time as the Bank reasonably deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. The Bank shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such action as the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that such request shall not be inconsistent with the Bank's status as a secured party, and the failure of the Bank to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. In addition, any failure of the Bank to preserve or protect any rights with respect to any Collateral not in Bank's possession or control against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by the Borrower, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. The Borrower shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of the Borrower and the Bank in any Collateral not in Bank's possession or control against prior or third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of securities, the Borrower represents to, and covenants with, the Bank that the Borrower has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the securities (including, but not limited to, rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and the Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for informing the Borrower of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto so long as such securities are not in Bank's possession or control. 6.6 Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. The Borrower further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the Bank to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank's security interest in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the UCC, to the extent, if any, that the Borrower's signature thereon is required therefor, (b) causing the Bank's name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank's security interest in such Collateral, (c) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank's security interest in such Collateral, (d) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (e) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, and (f) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction. 6.7 Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee. If any of the Collateral at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank thereof, and if requested by the Bank, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the warehouseman or bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, that the warehouseman or bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Bank and shall act upon the instructions of the Bank, without the further consent of the Borrower. 7.

Upon demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for the Bank's additional costs and/or reductions in the amount of principal or interest received or receivable by the Bank if at any time after the date of this Agreement any law, treaty or regulation or any change in any law, treaty or regulation or the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over the Bank or the Loans, whether or not having the force of law, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (except reserve requirements taken into account in calculating the Loan Rate) and/or special deposit requirement against or in respect of assets held by or deposits in or for the account of the Loans by the Bank or impose on the Bank any other condition with respect to this Agreement or the Loans, the result of which is to either increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining the Loans or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received or receivable by the Bank with respect to such Loans. Said additional costs and/or reductions will be those which directly result from the imposition of such requirement or condition on the making or maintaining of such Loans. All Loans shall be deemed to be match funded for the purposes of the Bank's determination in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such additional costs which could be avoided by the Bank with the exercise of reasonable conduct and diligence. 9.2 Company Existence. The Borrower shall at all times preserve and maintain its existence, rights, franchises and privileges, and shall at all times continue as a going concern in the business which the Borrower is presently conducting. 9.3 Maintain Property. The Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and keep its properties and Equipment, including, but not limited to, any Collateral, in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and shall from time to time make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, and additions thereto so that at all times the efficiency thereof shall be fully preserved and maintained. The Borrower shall permit the Bank to examine and inspect such plant, properties and Equipment, including, but not limited to, any Collateral, at all reasonable times. 9.4 Maintain Insurance. The Borrower shall at all times insure and keep insured in insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Bank, all insurable property owned by it which is of a character usually insured by companies similarly situated and operating like properties, against loss or damage from fire and such other hazards or risks as are customarily insured against by companies similarly situated and operating like properties; and shall similarly insure employers', public and professional liability risks. Prior to the date of the funding of the Notes, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank a certificate setting forth in summary form the nature and extent of the insurance maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9. All such policies of insurance must be reasonably satisfactory to the Bank in relation to the amount and term of the Obligations and type and value of the Collateral and assets of the Borrower, shall identify the Bank as lender's loss payee and as an additional insured. In the event the Borrower either fails to provide the Bank with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Section or at any time hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above, or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, then the Bank, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by the Borrower hereunder, may at any time (but shall be under no obligation to so act), obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other action with respect thereto, which the Bank deems advisable. This insurance coverage (i) may, but need not, protect the Borrower's interest in such property, including, but not limited to the Collateral, and (ii) may not pay any claim made by, or against, the Borrower in connection with such property, including, but not limited to the Collateral. The Borrower may later cancel any such insurance purchased by the Bank, but only after providing the Bank with evidence that the Borrower has obtained the insurance coverage required by this Section. The costs of such insurance obtained by the Bank, through and including the effective date such insurance coverage is canceled or expires, shall be payable on demand by the Borrower to the Bank, together with interest at the Default Rate on such amounts until repaid and any other charges by the Bank in connection with the placement of such insurance. The reasonable costs of such insurance, which may be greater than the cost of insurance which the Borrower may be able to obtain on its own, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate and any other charges by the Bank in connection with the placement of such insurance may be added to the total Obligations due and owing. 9.5 Tax Liabilities. The Borrower shall at all times pay and discharge all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against the Borrower or any of its properties, Equipment or Inventory, before the same shall become delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon. 9.6 ERISA Liabilities; Employee Plans. The Borrower shall (i) keep in full force and effect any and all Employee Plans which are presently in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence under ERISA, and not withdraw from any such Employee Plans, unless such withdrawal can be effected or such Employee Plans can be terminated without liability to the Borrower; (ii) make contributions to all of such Employee Plans in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to comply with the standards of ERISA; including the minimum funding standards of ERISA; (iii) comply with all material requirements of ERISA which relate to such Employee Plans; (iv) notify the Bank immediately upon receipt by the Borrower of any notice concerning the imposition of any withdrawal liability or of the institution of any proceeding or other action which may result in the termination of any such Employee Plans or the appointment of a trustee to administer such Employee Plans; (v) promptly advise the Bank of the occurrence of any "Reportable Event" or "Prohibited Transaction" (as such terms are defined in ERISA), with respect to any such Employee Plans; and (vi) amend any Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified within the meaning of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to the extent necessary to keep the Employee Plan qualified, and to cause the Employee Plan to be administered and operated in a manner that does not cause the Employee Plan to lose its qualified status. 9.7 Financial Statements. The Borrower shall at all times maintain a standard and modern system of accounting, on the accrual basis of accounting and in all respects in accordance with GAAP, and shall furnish to the Bank or its authorized representatives such information regarding the business affairs, operations and financial condition of the Borrower, including, but not limited to: (a) as soon as available, and in any event, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year, a copy of the annual audited financial statements of Borrower, including balance sheet, statement of income and retained earnings, statement of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended and such other information (including nonfinancial information) as the Bank may request, in reasonable detail, prepared and certified by an independent certified public accountant acceptable to the Bank, containing an unqualified opinion; (b) as soon as available, and in any event, within forty-five (45) days following the end of each calendar quarter, a copy of consolidated and consolidating financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries regarding such quarter, including balance sheet, statement of income and retained earnings, statement of cash flows for the quarter then ended and such other information (including nonfinancial information) as the Bank may request, in reasonable detail, prepared and certified as accurate by the Borrower; (c) as soon as available, and in any event, within thirty (30) days following the timely filing of the federal tax return for Borrower, a copy thereof; (d) as soon as available, and in any event, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year, a copy of the personal financial statements, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, of each Term Loan Guarantor; and (e) as soon as available, and in any event, within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month, a copy of the brokerage statement(s) for Carter M. Fortune showing his holdings of stock in Eli Lilly & Company or Belterra Capital Fund LLC in an amount at least equal to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00); provided, however, that such delivery shall be deemed made with respect to brokerage accounts filed with the Bank. No change with respect to such accounting principles shall be made by the Borrower without giving prior notification to the Bank. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Bank that the financial statements delivered to the Bank at or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to be delivered at all times thereafter accurately reflect and will accurately reflect the financial condition of the Borrower in all material respects.

Any default in the payment of principal, interest or any other sum for any other obligation beyond any period of grace or opportunity to cure provided with respect thereto or in the performance of any other term, condition or covenant contained in any agreement (including, but not limited to any capital or operating lease or any agreement in connection with the deferred purchase price of property) under which any such obligation is created, the effect of which default is to cause or permit the holder of such obligation (or the other party to such other agreement) to cause such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity or terminate such other agreement. 11.6 Assignment for Creditors. Any Obligor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or if a trustee of any substantial part of the assets of any Obligor is applied for or appointed. 11.7 Bankruptcy.

The entry of any judgment, decree, levy, attachment, garnishment or other process, or the filing of any Lien against, any of the Collateral or any collateral under a separate security agreement securing any of the Obligations, or the loss, theft, destruction, seizure or forfeiture, or the occurrence of any deterioration or impairment of any of the Collateral or any of the collateral under any security agreement securing any of the Obligations, or any decline or depreciation in the value or market price thereof (whether actual or reasonably anticipated), which causes the Collateral, in the sole opinion of the Bank acting in good faith, to become unsatisfactory as to value or character, or which causes the Bank to reasonably believe that it is insecure and that the likelihood for repayment of the Obligations is or will soon be impaired, time being of the essence. The cause of such deterioration, impairment, decline or depreciation shall include, but is not limited to, the failure by the Borrower to do any act deemed reasonably necessary by the Bank to preserve and maintain the value and collectibility of the Collateral. 12. REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Loan Documents) relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefor, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank may, at its option upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to the Borrower to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Section 11.6, "Assignment for Creditors", or Section 11.7, "Bankruptcy", all commitments of the Bank to the Borrower shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of the Bank. The Borrower hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Bank's rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of release, with or without consideration, of the Borrower, any guarantor or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing: 12.1 Possession and Assembly of Collateral. The Bank may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which the Bank already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter into any of the Borrower's premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and the Bank shall have the right to store the same in any of the Borrower's premises without cost to the Bank. At the Bank's request, the Borrower will, at the Borrower's sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at a place or places to be designated by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to the Bank and the Borrower. 12.2 Sale of Collateral. The Bank may sell any or all of the Collateral at a commercially reasonable public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as the Bank may reasonably deem proper, and the Bank may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. The Bank shall apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys' and paralegals' fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Notes and/or any of the other Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to the Borrower. The Borrower shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by the Bank at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. The Borrower hereby confirms, approves and ratifies all acts and deeds of the Bank relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof. 12.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Bank (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Bank against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would not be commercially unreasonable in the Bank's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties on the Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section. 12.4 UCC and Offset Rights. The Bank may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and the Bank, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys' and paralegals' fees, and in such order of application as the Bank may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of the Bank to any Obligor, however created or arising, including, but not limited to, balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to the Bank. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each Obligor, hereby waives the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit the Bank in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from the Bank to any Obligor. 12.5 Additional Remedies. The Bank shall have the right and power to: (a) instruct the Borrower, at its own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to the Bank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or the Bank may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of the Bank, and/or of the assignment to the Bank of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to the Bank of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon; (b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (c) take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon; (d) extend, renew or modify for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) the Notes, any other of the Obligations, any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to the Notes or any of the Obligations; (e) grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Notes, any of the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or to any other obligor with respect to the Notes or any of the Obligations; (f) following delivery of notice to the Borrower, transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of the Bank or the Bank's nominee without disclosing, if the Bank so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of the Bank, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of said securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that the Bank or said nominee makes any further transfer of said securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether the Bank or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same; (g) vote the Collateral; (h) make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of the Bank as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of the Borrower hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive the Bank's rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, the Borrower, any guarantor or other Person liable to the Bank for the Obligations; and (i) at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or the Bank's rights hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Obligations. The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms whatever the Bank may reasonably do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that the Bank shall not be liable for any good faith error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral so long as the Bank exercised reasonable care in connection with same. 12.6 Attorney-in-Fact. The Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Bank (and any officer of the Bank or any Person designated by the Bank for that purpose) as the Borrower's true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in the Borrower's name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are permitted in this Agreement, (ii) execute such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as the Bank may require to perfect and preserve the Bank's security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower's name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of the Borrower, changing the address of the Borrower to that of the Bank, opening all envelopes addressed to the Borrower and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement. 12.7 No Marshaling. The Bank shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Bank's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. 12.8 Application of Proceeds. The Bank will within three (3) business days after receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. The Bank shall further have the exclusive right to reasonably determine, in good faith, how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon the Borrower. Any proceeds of any disposition by the Bank of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by the Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the Collateral, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses as provided for in Section 13 hereof. 12.9 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Bank except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of the Bank to exercise any remedy available to the Bank in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. 13. MISCELLANEOUS. 13.1 Obligations Absolute.

No amendment, modification, termination, discharge or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only for the specific purpose for which given. 13.4 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BANK AND THE BORROWER, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, EACH KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS, THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT OR COURSE OF DEALING IN WHICH THE BANK AND THE BORROWER ARE ADVERSE PARTIES. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE BANK GRANTING ANY FINANCIAL ACCOMMODATION TO THE BORROWER. 13.5 LITIGATION.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the Borrower shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by the Borrower, be added to the Obligations of the Borrower and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 13.17 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 13.18 LIBOR Indemnity. If any Regulatory Change, or compliance by the Bank or any person controlling the Bank with any request or directive of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the force of law) shall (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Bank; (b) subject the Bank or any Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or fee or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal or interest due from the Borrower to the Bank hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of the Bank); or (c) impose on the Bank any other condition regarding the Loans or the Bank's funding thereof, and the Bank shall reasonably determine that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, or to impose a cost on, the Bank or such controlling Person of making or maintaining the Loans or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by the Bank hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank or such controlling Person, on demand, such additional amounts as the Bank shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify the Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount. 13.19 LIBOR Unavailability. If the Bank determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (i) the making or maintenance of any Loan would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, (ii) United States dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the Interest Period for funding any Loan are not available in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, (iii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate to be applicable to the relevant Loan, or (iv) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to the Bank of a Loan, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and, so long as the foregoing conditions continue, the Bank shall have no obligation to make any additional advances on the Loans at the Loan Rate thereafter. 13.20 LIBOR Regulatory Change. In addition, if, after the date hereof, a Regulatory Change shall, in the reasonable determination of the Bank, make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain the Loans, then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and none of the Loans may be advanced thereafter. In addition, at the Borrower's option, the Loans shall be immediately (i) converted the Loan Rate to an interest rate based on the Prime Rate on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, or (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, all without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. 13.21 USA Patriot Act.
