at all times to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Lender hereby agrees to extend to the Borrower a secured

Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at
any time outstanding, the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base at the
subject time, or (ii) $2,500,000 (the " Revolving Credit
Commitment ").
(b) Such
revolving credit loans are herein sometimes referred to
individually as an " Advance " and collectively as the "
Advances ." Subject at all times to all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, from the Closing Date to the
Primary Maturity Date and within the limits of the Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Lender shall lend, and the Borrower may borrow,
prepay (without premium or penalty) and reborrow under this Section

revolving credit loan accounts with the Lender, based on a three
hundred sixty (360) day year, counting the actual number of days
elapsed. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge
the Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts for all such
interest; provided , however , that the Lender shall
be under no obligation to make any such charge to the
Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts (including, without
limitation, if there is insufficient Availability at the time such
interest is due and payable).
(d) In
the event and to the extent that, at any time, the outstanding
principal amount of Advances exceeds the Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect, then the Borrower shall immediately,
without notice or demand, make a payment to the Lender in respect
of the Advances in an amount sufficient to cause the outstanding
principal amount of Advances to be equal to or less than the
Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect.
(e) Unless
sooner due and payable by reason of an Event of Default hereunder
having occurred, the Borrower shall pay in full all of the
Obligations to the Lender in respect of all Advances on or prior to
the Primary Maturity Date.

principal and accrued interest of the Advances, (ii) the
outstanding principal balance, all unpaid accrued interest and
applicable prepayment premiums of the Term Loans (subject to the
Lender’s retained right, at all times prior to the
prepayment, to convert all or any portion of such principal and
interest into Common Stock in accordance with the Term Notes), and

in the principal amount of $3,250,000, and (iii) an additional Term
Loan in the principal amount of $1,100,000. The Term Loans

the Term Loans at the rate(s) per annum as in effect from time to
time in accordance with the Term Notes. Such interest shall
be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar
month and on the applicable Maturity Date, and shall be computed on
the daily unpaid balance of each Term Loan, based on a three
hundred sixty (360) day year, counting the actual number of days
elapsed. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to charge
the Borrower’s revolving credit loan accounts for all such
interest and/or for any or all principal amounts due and payable in
respect of the Term Loans; provided , however , that

without limitation, if there is insufficient Availability at the

commitment for an alternate financing in respect of the Related
Transactions or any alternative or revised transaction between the
Borrower and any Seller; provided , however , that
the Breakup Fee shall not be payable if neither of such events
occurs on or prior to October 2, 2007, or if the Lender is not, on
or before December 31, 2006, ready, willing and able to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on substantially
the terms hereof.

from whatever source (whether from the Borrower, any Subsidiary
pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement, any realization upon any
Collateral, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise directed by the
Borrower with respect to any particular payment (unless an Event of
Default shall then be continuing, in which event the Lender may
disregard the Borrower’s direction), be applied (a) first, to
reimburse the Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by the Lender which are reimbursable to the Lender in
accordance with this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other
Loan Documents, (b) next, to any accrued but unpaid fees or

thereto.

elsewhere contained in this Agreement and/or the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, (a) the Revolving Credit Commitment shall
terminate and all Obligations shall become immediately due and
payable, without requirement of notice or demand, upon the
consummation of any Sale, and (b) except as provided in Section
2.02(d) above with respect to the Tranche 3 Term Loan, the
Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate and all Obligations
shall become immediately due and payable, without requirement of
notice or demand, on the Primary Maturity Date.
Section 2.08. Obligations Unconditional .
(a) The
payment and performance of all Obligations shall constitute the
absolute and unconditional obligations of the Borrower, and shall
be independent of any defense or rights of set-off, recoupment or
counterclaim which the Borrower might otherwise have against the
Lender. All payments required by this Agreement and/or the
Notes shall be paid free of any deductions or withholdings for any
taxes or other amounts and without abatement, diminution or
set-off. If the Borrower is required by law to make such a
deduction or withholding from a payment hereunder, the Borrower
shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as is necessary to
ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the
Lender receives (free from any liability in respect of any such
deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would
have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding
been made or required to be made. The Borrower shall (i) pay
the full amount of any deduction or withholding, which it is
required to make by-law, to the relevant authority within the
payment period set by the relevant law, and (ii) promptly after any
such payment, deliver to the Lender an original (or certified copy)
official receipt issued by the relevant authority in respect of the
amount withheld or deducted or, if the relevant authority does not
issue such official receipts, such other evidence of payment of the
amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably acceptable to the
Lender.

at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, (i) any
change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in
the interpretation or application thereof, (ii) any new law,
regulation, treaty or directive enacted or application thereof, or
(iii) compliance by the
16
Lender with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) from any governmental authority (A)
subjects the Lender to any tax, levy, impost, deduction,
assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with
respect to any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of
payments to the Lender of any amount payable thereunder (except for
net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income
taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing
authorities with respect to interest or commitment fees or other
fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of tax on the overall
net income of the Lender or its members), or (B) imposes on the
Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein, and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Lender of making or continuing any Loan or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall
promptly pay to the Lender any additional amounts necessary to
compensate the Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional
cost or reduced amount as determined by the Lender. If the
Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.08(b), the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower
of the event by reason of which the Lender has become so entitled,
and each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 2.08(b) submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall,
absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes.
Section 2.09. Reversal of Payments . To the
extent that any payment or payments made to or received by the
Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, or required to be repaid to any trustee,
receiver or other person under any state or federal bankruptcy or
other such law, then, to the extent thereof, such amounts shall be
revived as Obligations and continue in full force and effect
hereunder as if such payment or payments had not been received by
the Lender.

WARRANTIES
|

changes occurring in the ordinary course of the Business Operations
that do not and are not reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect) so long as any Obligations are outstanding or the
Revolving Credit Commitment remains in effect, and are as
follows:
Section 3.01. Financial Matters .

Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lender (i) the audited
consolidated financial statements (including balance sheets,
statements of income and statements of cash flows) of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries as at April 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, and for
the Fiscal Years then ended, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of
July 31, 2006 and for the three (3) months then ended
(collectively, the " Financial Statements ").
17
(b) The
Financial Statements (i) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP

all material respects, (iii) fairly present the consolidated
financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of said
dates, and the results of their operations for the periods stated,
(iv) contain and reflect all necessary adjustments and accruals for
a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial
condition and the results of its consolidated operations as of the
dates of and for the periods covered by such Financial Statements,

accordance with GAAP, for the various assets and liabilities

operations and transactions in their accounts, as of the dates and
for the periods referred to therein.
(c) Except

rights, or related compensation obligations, except: (i)

consummation of the Related Transactions and for the transactions
pursuant to the Loan Documents, there has been no material adverse
change in the working capital, condition (financial or otherwise),
assets, liabilities, reserves, business, management or Business
Operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including,
without limitation, the following:
(i) there
has been no material change in any assumptions underlying, or in
any methods of calculating, any bad debt, contingency or other
reserve relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary;

uncollectibility of any notes, Accounts or other receivables of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary except to the extent that same have been
disclosed to the Lender in writing and would not, individually or
in the aggregate, cause the outstanding Advances to exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitment;
