The Borrower may request Advances in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Credit Facility Limit and the Maximum Availability (as defined below). If any Advances are made during the period from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless an Event of Default occurs, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with this Agreement. All Loans made by the Bank under this Agreement, and all of the Borrower’s other liabilities to the Bank under or pursuant to this Agreement, are payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date unless accelerated earlier as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b) As used herein, the term “Maximum Availability” refers at any time to the lesser of (i) or (ii), below:

(i)

up to (A) Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000.00); minus (B) the sum of the aggregate amounts then undrawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, acceptances, or any other accommodations issued or incurred by the Bank for the account and/or the benefit of Borrower.

(c) The Revolving Credit Facility is established for the purpose of financing the Borrower’s working capital, Letters of Credit and general business needs, and shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, which shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto.

2.2. Advances. Interest on each Advance made pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue as set forth in Section 2.3 below and shall be paid in arrears. All unpaid principal amounts due under all Advances, plus accrued interest and costs thereon, shall be paid in full and satisfied on the Revolving Credit Termination Date unless accelerated earlier as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default. Requests for Advances shall be made pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement.

2.3. Interest on Advances. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding principal balance of each Advance made pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility shall bear interest based upon either the LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Advantage Rate during each Interest Period at the rate selected by the Borrower from the interest rate options provided below:

(a) To the extent that all or any portion of an Advance bears interest during a LIBOR Interest Period by reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as may be selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, such Advance shall bear interest during such LIBOR Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as then in effect plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) To the extent that all or any portion of an Advance bears interest during an LA Interest Period by reference to the LIBOR Advantage Rate, as may be selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, such Advance shall bear interest during such LA Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the aggregate of the LIBOR Advantage Rate as then in effect plus the Applicable Margin.

If not sooner paid (whether by reason of acceleration as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), all principal and all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.5. Mandatory Prepayment. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances made and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility shall exceed the Maximum Availability, the Borrower shall immediately prepay so much of the outstanding principal balance, together with accrued interest on the portion of principal so prepaid, as shall be necessary in order that the unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, after giving effect to such prepayments, shall not be in excess of the Maximum Availability. Any such prepayment will, at the option of the Bank, be applied first to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank and arising out of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note or any Related Agreement and which has not been paid or reimbursed to the Bank, second to accrued interest to the date of the prepayment, and third to the outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility.

2.6. Advances in Excess of Maximum Availability and/or Revolving Credit Facility Limit. The making of Loans, Advances and credits by the Bank in excess of the Maximum Availability and/or the Revolving Credit Facility Limit is for the benefit of the Borrower and does not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. The making of any such Loans, Advances, and credits in excess of the Maximum Availability and/or the Revolving Credit Facility Limit, on any one occasion shall not obligate the Bank to make any such Loans, Advances or credits on any other occasion nor to permit such Loans, Advances or credits to remain outstanding.

2.7. Risks of Value of Assets. The Bank’s reference to a given asset of the Borrower for monitoring concerning the Bank’s making of Loans, Advances and credits under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not be deemed a determination by the Bank relative to the actual

value of the asset in question. All risks concerning the value and/or creditworthiness of all assets of the Borrower are and remain upon the Borrower. Reference by the Bank to a particular asset for monitoring purposes shall not obligate the Bank to rely upon such asset and/or any similar assets.

Any and all Letters of Credit issued by the Bank in favor of the Borrower and outstanding on the date of this Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement.

(d) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank at the time of issuance, in full and for the entire term of the Letter of Credit, a “Letter of Credit Fee” equal to one percent (1.0%) of the maximum drawing amount of such Letter of Credit, as well as all other normal and customary fees charged by Bank generally in connection with the issuance, amendment, extension and transfer of Letters of Credit. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Bank, in Bank’s sole discretion (provided, however, Bank shall have no obligation to do so), to pay all such fees and costs as the same become due and payable and to treat the same as an Advance pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) The Bank shall be entitled to rely on any letter of credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex, or teletype message, statement or order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other expert as selected by the Bank. It is understood and agreed that the Bank shall not have any liability for, and that the Borrower assume all responsibility for: (i) the genuineness of any signature; (ii) the form, correctness, validity, sufficiency, genuineness, falsification and legal effect of any draft, certification or other document required by a Letter of Credit or the authority of the Person signing the same; (iii) the failure of any instrument to bear any reference or adequate reference to a Letter of Credit or the failure of any Persons to note the amount of any instrument on the reverse of a Letter of Credit or to surrender a Letter of Credit or otherwise to comply with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit; (iv) the good faith or acts of any Person other than the Bank and its agents and employees; (v) the existence, form, sufficiency or breach of or default under any agreement or instrument of any nature whatsoever; (vi) any delay in giving or failure to give any notice, demand or protest; and (vii) any error, omission, delay in or non-delivery of any notice or other communication, however sent. The determination as to whether the required documents are presented prior to the expiration of a Letter of Credit and whether such other documents are in proper and sufficient form for compliance with a Letter of Credit shall be made by the Bank in its sole discretion, which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower. It is agreed that the Bank may honor, as complying with the terms of the Letters of Credit and this Agreement, any documents otherwise in order and signed or issued by the beneficiary thereof Any action, inaction or omission on the part of the Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such laws, regulations or commercial or banking customs as the Bank may reasonably deem to be applicable, shall be binding upon the Borrower, shall not place the Bank under any liability to the Borrower, and shall not affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Bank’s rights or powers hereunder or the Borrower’s obligation to make full reimbursement. The Borrower’s obligations for all Letters of Credit issued on its account shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances irrespective of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever or any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Bank or any beneficiary under a Letter of Credit issued by the Bank on the Borrower’s account. The Borrower further agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued on account of the Borrower and any related drafts and documents shall, absent the Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, be binding upon the Borrower and shall not result in any liability on the part of the Bank.

2.9. Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank a fee (the “Unused Fee”) on all unused amounts on the Revolving Credit Facility. The Unused Fee shall be computed by multiplying (x) the Applicable Margin (determined as set forth for computation of the Unused Fee set forth in Section 1.1 hereof) by (y) the Revolving Credit Facility Limit, less the aggregate of the: (i) average daily balance of Advances outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility during the preceding quarter, plus (ii) the average of all outstanding Letters of Credit for such quarter. The Unused Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing on October 1, 2008 and on the first day of each successive quarter thereafter and upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, with the Unused Fee being in consideration of the Advances made hereunder and being deemed earned as incurred.

2.10. Master SWAP Agreements. At any time and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, absent the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may enter into one or more Hedging Contracts and incur Hedging Obligations by, in each such instance, executing and delivering to the Bank an International SWAP Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement (each, a “Master Swap Agreement”), thereby fixing the interest rate payable on portions the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility. Provided that a Master Swap Agreement contains language permitting termination of the same by either party, the maturity date of such Master Swap Agreement may be later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date, otherwise, such Master Swap Agreement must mature on or before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE LOANS

3.1. Loan Requests, Selection of Interest Rates and Rate Conversions.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Bank written notice of a request for an Advance (each a “Loan Request”) under the Revolving Credit Facility on any Business Day, such notice being in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (or telephonic notice immediately confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit B hereto). The Loan Request for each Advance requested hereunder shall be given no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Advance (nor more than five (5) Business Days before the proposed Advance) for any LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan. Each such Loan Request shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Advance requested and (ii) the proposed interest rate applicable to such Advance. LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made in a minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and integral multiples of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Advance requested from the Bank, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. Each Advance shall be made available to the Borrower no later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the first day of the applicable Interest Period by deposit to the account of the Borrower as shall have been specified in its Loan Request. If any Advance is made, the Bank may, at its option, record on the books and records of the Bank or endorse on a schedule attached to the Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate notation evidencing any Advance, each repayment on account of the principal thereof and the amount of interest paid; and the Borrower authorizes the Bank to maintain such records or make such notations and agrees that the amount shown on the books and records or on said schedule, as applicable, as outstanding from time to time shall constitute the amount owing to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, absent manifest error. In the event the amount shown on the schedule conflicts with the amount as due pursuant to the books and records of the Bank, the books and records of the Bank shall control the disposition of the conflict.

(b) In the case of an Advance of any Loan already made, the Borrower shall give the Bank written notice of an interest rate selection (each a “Notice of Rate Selection”) in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto) (or telephonic notice immediately confirmed in a writing in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto) as follows: for any LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period. Each interest rate selection shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(c) LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans shall mature and become payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as applicable. Upon maturity, a LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan and/or a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued for an additional Interest Period or may be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan or a LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, as applicable, as may be selected by the Borrower from the options and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) By delivering a continuation/conversion notice to the Bank on or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, that all, or any portion of any LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan or any LIBOR Rate Loan, in an aggregate minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and integral multiples of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as a LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan, provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans if such LIBOR Rate Loans relate to any Hedging Obligations or when any default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and further provided that all accrued interest on the principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan to be converted hereunder shall be paid in full. In the absence of delivery of a continuation/conversion notice with respect to any LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan at least two (2) Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically be converted or continued, as applicable, as a Loan that accrues interest by reference to the LIBOR Advantage Rate.

(e) Without in any way limiting the Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Bank may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by the Bank in good faith to be from the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each case, the Borrower waives the right to dispute the Bank’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of rate selection in the absence of manifest error.

3.2. Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may prepay any Prime Rate Loan or any LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, in whole or in part, at any time, without penalty or premium. LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.7 below.

(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, any fees with respect to such Loan(s) shall become due and payable in the same manner as though the Borrower had exercised such right of prepayment in connection with Section 3.2 of this Agreement. Any prepayment hereunder will be applied first to the payment of all accrued interest to the date of the prepayment and the remainder to the outstanding principal. Further, in the case of any prepayments of a Loan which do not simply represent the conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, any amounts applied against principal shall be applied against scheduled installments of principal due thereon in the inverse order of maturity.

3.3. Late Charge. The Bank may collect a late charge not to exceed five percent (5.0%) of any installment of principal or interest on any Loan, or of any other amount due to the Bank which is not paid or reimbursed by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the due date thereof to defray the cost and extra expense involved in handling such delinquent payment and the increased risk of non-collection, In all events, the minimum late charge shall be Thirty-Five Dollars ($35.00).

3.4. Default Interest Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all LIBOR Rate Loans and LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans shall automatically convert to Prime Rate Loans on the first day of the next LIBOR Interest Period or LA Interest Period, as applicable, and the unpaid principal shall bear interest at a rate which is equal to five (5) percentage points per annum greater than the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin (the “Default Rate”). If, at any time, the rate of interest, together with all amounts which constitute interest and which are reserved, charged or taken by Bank as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiating or collection of any advance evidenced hereby, shall be deemed by any competent court of law, governmental agency or tribunal to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Bank to the Borrower, then, during such time as such rate of interest would be deemed excessive, that portion of each sum paid attributable to that portion of such interest rate that exceeds the maximum rate of interest so permitted shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of principal.

3.5. Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, be made on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed.

3.6. Authorization to Charge Account. The Bank is authorized to and may charge principal and interest and all other amounts due hereunder, under any Related Agreement and under the Revolving Credit Note to any account of the Borrower maintained at the Bank when and as it becomes due.

3.7. Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans.

(a) LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. For LIBOR Rate Loans in connection with which the Borrower has or may incur Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts. The Borrower shall give the Bank, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Rate Loans (including the LIBOR Breakage Fee) and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment.

(b) Upon: (i) any default by Borrower in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan following Borrower’s delivery of a borrowing request or continuation/conversion notice hereunder or (ii) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on any day that is not the last day of the relevant LIBOR Interest Period (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay an amount (“LIBOR Breakage Fee”), as calculated by the Bank, equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including without limitation any loss of margin and anticipated profits) that Bank may sustain as a result of such default or payment. The Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges that: (i) the Bank does not have any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) the Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses incurred by the Bank. Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBOR Breakage Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the Bank elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

3.8. Miscellaneous LIBOR Rate Loan and LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan Terms.

(a) If the Bank shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline, (whether or not having the force of law) makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for the Bank to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, then any such LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until the Bank shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans and LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Loans at the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods or LA Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

(b) In the event that Borrower shall have requested a LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan in accordance with Section 3.1 and the Bank, in its sole discretion, shall have determined that U.S. dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period or LA Interest Period are not available to the Bank in the London interbank market; or by reason of circumstances affecting the Bank in the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate applicable to the relevant LIBOR Interest Period or the LIBOR Advantage Rate applicable to the relevant LA Interest Period; or the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Advantage Rate, as applicable, no longer adequately and fairly reflects the Bank’s cost of funding Loans; then, upon notice from the Bank to the Borrower, the obligations of the Bank under Section 3.1 to make or continue any loans as, or to convert any loans into, LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans, as applicable, shall forthwith be suspended until the Bank shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Rate Loans and LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans of such type shall automatically convert into Prime Rate Loans at the end of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods or LA Interest Periods with respect thereto.

(c) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Bank or shall impose on the Bank or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans; or (ii) shall impose on the Bank any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or LIBOR Advantage Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Bank under this agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then, within ten (10) days after demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

(d) If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank, or person controlling the Bank, and the Bank determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling person’s capital as a consequence of its commitments or the Loans made by the Bank is reduced to a level below that which the Bank or such controlling person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to the Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank or such controlling person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Bank as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, the Bank may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

(e) All payments by the Borrower of principal of and interest on, LIBOR Rate Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by the Bank’s net income or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower will

(i)

pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii)

promptly forward to the Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Bank evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii)

pay to the Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Bank will equal the full amount the Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Bank with respect to any payment received by the Bank hereunder, the Bank may pay such Taxes and the Borrower will promptly pay such additional amount (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by the Bank after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount the Bank would have received had not such Taxes been asserted.

If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Bank the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Bank for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Bank as a result of any such failure.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1. Waivers.

(a) The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notices of Advances made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Note and any Collateral now or hereafter securing the Note, the Borrower assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of any Collateral now or hereafter securing the Note, to the addition or release of any party or Person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payments thereon and

the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as the Bank may deem advisable. The Bank shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of any Collateral now or hereafter securing the Note or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof. The Bank may exercise its rights with respect to any Collateral without resorting or regard to other Collateral now or hereafter securing the Note or sources of reimbursement for liability. The Bank shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights upon or under any document or agreement relating to the liabilities of the Borrower or any collateral now or hereafter securing any such liabilities unless such waiver be in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Bank. No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right on any future occasion. The Bank may revoke any permission or waiver previously granted to the Borrower, such revocation shall be effective whether given orally or in writing. All rights and remedies of the Bank with respect to this Agreement, the Note, the other Related Agreements, or any Collateral now or hereafter securing the Note, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or document, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

(b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE BANK AND ANY BORROWER ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.
