WHEREAS, the Company, the

Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the same meanings herein as in the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company has
requested that the Holders convert the 6% per annum cash interest payments under
the Securities Purchase Agreement (commencing with the cash interest payment due

to the Company’s lead director (the “Lead Director
Payments”), and (c) the Additional Recapitalization Payments (as defined
below).
WHEREAS, subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein, the Holders are willing to convert the 6% per
annum cash interest payments under the Securities Purchase Agreement (commencing
with the cash interest payment due on July 1, 2010) to paid-in-kind interest so
that the Company will have cash on hand to make (a) KERP payments, (b) Lead
Director Payments and (c) Additional Recapitalization Payments.
NOW, THEREFORE, with the
foregoing Recitals incorporated by reference and made a part hereof, in
consideration of the mutual agreements contained in the Financing Agreements and

sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:

(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.5 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, and so long as (i) any cash savings resulting from the conversion

for any month, the 6% per annum cash interest payments under the Securities
Purchase Agreement (commencing with the cash interest payment due and payable on

Amount”) shall not be payable in cash, but shall instead be compounded
monthly by adding the Converted Interest Amount to the principal amount of the
Notes and shall be due and payable, in cash, at the earliest of (x) the dates
set forth in clause (b), (c) or (d) below, (y) the Maturity Date and (z) on the

event that the Company fails to pay in full the total amount of KERP payments,
the Lead Director Payments and the Additional Recapitalization Payments (the
“Total Amount”)
in accordance with the Budget on or prior to the last day of any calendar month
(or with respect to the month of July, on or prior to August 13, 2010), then the
Company shall, on the last day of such calendar month (or with respect to the
month of July, August 13, 2010), pay to the Holders in cash (notwithstanding
clause (a) above) an amount equal to the difference between the Total Amount and
the actual amount of KERP payments, Lead Director Payments and Additional
Recapitalization Payments made for such month, which amount shall be applied to
any cash interest payment due on the first day of such month (or with respect to
the payments to be made on or prior to August 13 for the month of July, July 1,
2010) pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (without
giving effect to clause (a) above).
(c) In the
event that any Default or Event of Default (other than the Identified Events of
Default, as such term is defined in Amendment No. 8) shall have occurred or any
Termination Event (as defined in Amendment No. 8) shall have occurred, then, in
each case, the Company shall on the first day of each calendar month occurring
after such Default, Event of Default or Termination Event, pay to the Holders in
cash the 6% per annum cash interest payment pursuant to Section 3.5 of the
Securities Purchase Agreement (without giving effect to clause (a)
above).
(d) On
November 5, 2010, December 3, 2010 and January 7, 2011, the Company shall pay to
the Holders in cash an amount equal to the amount by which the Company’s actual

payment shall not exceed the sum of the amounts described in clauses (i) and
(ii) of this paragraph (d)), which cash amount shall be applied (i) first, to
any cash interest payment due on the first day of such month pursuant to Section
3.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (without giving effect to clause (a)
above) and (ii) second, to any prior Converted Interest Amounts until such
amounts are paid in full.
2. Expanded

Holders hereby consent to the Company engaging its advisor, Carl Marks Advisory

expanded terms to assist in an additional review of the Company’s financial and
operational systems and reporting so long as (a) the additional payments due and
payable to Carl Marks Advisory Group LLC (or such other advisor reasonably
acceptable to the Holders) for such expanded services shall not exceed $12,000
per month (the “Additional Advisor
Payments”) and (b) all other terms, arrangements and conditions to such
expanded services shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Holders. For purposes of this Agreement, “Additional Recapitalization
Payments” shall mean the sum of the Additional Advisor Payments and any
additional recapitalization expenses of the Company set forth in the Budget,
including field incentive plans.
Exhibit

3. Increase
in Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 3.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the interest rate
otherwise applicable to the unpaid principal amount of the Notes outstanding
from time to time shall increase by (a) 2% per annum on October 1, 2010 and (b)
an additional 1% per annum on January 1, 2011 (the “Additional PIK
Interest”). The Additional PIK Interest shall be compounded
monthly by adding the Additional PIK Interest to the principal amount of the
Notes and shall be due and payable, in cash, at the Maturity Date and on the
date of any repayment or prepayment of the Notes (with respect to the portion of
such Notes so repaid or prepaid). Notwithstanding anything contained
to the contrary in this Section 3, (a) in the event that all Obligations are
paid in full in cash on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Additional PIK
Interest shall be waived and forgiven and (b) during the Forbearance Period (as
defined in Amendment No. 8) only, with respect to any month, if the outstanding
balance of the Converted Interest Amount is zero for at least 22 days of such
month, then the applicable per annum Additional PIK Interest rate shall be
reduced by fifty percent (50%) for such month.

8. Control.
The Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Holders have not
exerted any measure of control over the Company, its business or any property
(real and/or personal) of the Company, nor does the business plan of the Company
relating to the agreements herein provide for or contemplate any of the
aforementioned measures of control. As such, the Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Collateral Agent and the Holders have not taken, nor does
said plan provide for or contemplate the Collateral Agent or any of the Holders
taking, any action that would make the Collateral Agent or any of the Holders an
“insider” or a “joint venture partner” of the Company.
9. Business
Purpose; Compliance With Usury Laws. The Company represents
and warrants to the Holders that the extensions of credit made under the
Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Loans”) are made
solely for business purposes. All agreements between the Company, the
Collateral Agent and the Holders are hereby expressly limited so that in no
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Financing Agreements or otherwise, shall the
amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Holders for the use or the forbearance
of the indebtedness evidenced by the Financing Agreements exceed the maximum
rate of interest permissible under applicable law. As used herein,
the term "applicable
law" shall mean the law in effect as of the date hereof, provided, however, that in the
event there is a change in the law which results in a higher permissible rate of
interest, then such indebtedness shall be governed by such new law as of its
effective date. In this regard, it is expressly agreed that it is the
intent of the Company, the Collateral Agent and each of the Holders in the
execution and delivery of this Agreement to contract in strict compliance with
the laws that are applicable to the Loans as set forth in the Financing
Agreements from time to time in effect. If, under or from any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any of the
Financing Agreements at the time performance of such provision shall be due,
shall exceed the limits prescribed by such applicable law, then the obligation
to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to such applicable limit, and if
under or from any circumstances whatsoever any of the Holders should ever
receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such
amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal balance evidenced hereby and not to the payment of
interest.
10. Assignment. The
Company may not assign, delegate or transfer this Agreement or any of its rights
or obligations hereunder any delegation, transfer or assignment in violation
hereof shall be null and void. No rights are intended to be created
under this Agreement for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or
incidental beneficiary of the Company or any other person or entity other than
the Holders. Each Holder’s ability to assign, sell or transfer all of
any part of this Agreement shall be governed by the Securities Purchase
Agreement. The Company hereby agrees that, upon receiving notice
information for said assignee, the Company shall deliver to said assignee any
and all notices and reports to said assignee that the Company is required to
provide to the Collateral Agent or the Holders under the Financing
Agreements.
11. Entire
Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. There are no other
understandings, express or implied, between the Collateral Agent, the Holders,
the Company or Guarantor regarding the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement may not be amended or modified, and no provision of this Agreement may
be waived, orally but only by a written agreement executed and approved in
accordance with Section 19 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Exhibit
4.83
12. Choice of
Law. The validity of this Agreement, its construction,
interpretation and enforcement, and the rights of the parties hereunder, shall
be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to conflicts of laws
principles.
13. Construction. This
Agreement constitutes a Financing Agreement. Upon and after the
Effective Date, each reference in the Securities Purchase Agreement to “this
Agreement,” “hereunder,” “herein,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, and each reference in the other Financing
Agreements to “the Securities Purchase Agreement,” “thereunder,” “therein,”
“thereof,” or words of like import referring to the Securities Purchase
Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Securities Purchase Agreement as
amended hereby.
14. Counterparts;
Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Mail. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an
original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the
same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic mail shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any
party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or
electronic mail also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not
affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Agreement.
