The entire unpaid principal balance of the Acquisition Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be paid in full on the Acquisition Loan Maturity Date.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, the Borrower may convert all or a part of any outstanding Loan into a Loan of another Type on any Business Day (which, in the case of a conversion of an outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan).

(i) The Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Boston time on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and the Acquisition Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Boston time on the Acquisition Loan Maturity Date.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 regarding mandatory payments, the Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender to reduce by $100,000, and in integral multiples of $100,000 if in excess thereof, the Revolving Credit Commitment or to terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitment, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by the amount specified in such notice or shall, as the case may be, be terminated entirely.

The outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on the Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Lender’s Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due.

2.3. Notice and Manner of Borrowing or Conversion of Loans.

(a) Whenever the Borrower desires to obtain or continue a Loan hereunder or convert an outstanding Loan into a Loan of another Type, the Borrower shall give the Lender a telephonic notice promptly confirmed by a written Notice of Borrowing or Conversion, which telephonic notice shall be irrevocable and which must be received no later than 2:00 p.m. Boston time on the date (i) one Business Day before the day on which the requested Loan is to be made

as or converted to a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) three Business Days before the day on which the requested Loan is to be made or continued as or converted to a LIBOR Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing or Conversion shall specify (i) the effective date and amount of each Loan or portion thereof requested to be made, continued or converted, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, (ii) the interest rate option requested to be applicable thereto, and (iii) the duration of the applicable Interest Period, if any (subject to the provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period”). If such Notice fails to specify the interest rate option to be applicable to the requested Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan. If the written confirmation of any telephonic notification differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Lender, the records of the Lender shall control absent manifest error.

(b) Subject to the provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period” herein, the duration of each Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan shall be as specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Conversion. If the Lender receives a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion after the time specified in subsection (a) above, such Notice shall not be effective. If the Lender does not receive an effective Notice of Borrowing or Conversion with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Loan, or if, when such Notice must be given prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable to such outstanding Loan, the Borrower shall have failed to satisfy any of the conditions hereof, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such LIBOR Loan for an additional Interest Period..

2.4. Interest Rates and Payments of Interest.

(a) Each Loan which is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, which rate shall change contemporaneously with any change in the Base Rate or the Applicable Margin, as provided below. Such accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the 1st day of June, 2007 and in any event all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the applicable Maturity Date unless sooner due and payable after acceleration.

(b) Each Loan which is a LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin, which rate shall change with any change in the Applicable Margin, as provided below. Such interest shall be payable for such Interest Period on the last day thereof.

(c) The Applicable Margin and the Total Debt Service Ratio shall be determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter based upon the Compliance Certificate, and any change in the Applicable Margin shall be effective upon the delivery of such Compliance Certificate; provided, however that during any period when the Borrower has failed to deliver such quarterly financial statements as required by Section 5.1(b), the Total Debt Service Ratio shall be deemed to be less than 2.00 to 1.00 for purposes of determining the Applicable Margin.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing (and such Event of Default is not waived), then at the option of the Lender the unpaid balance of Loans shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, compounded daily at an interest rate equal to 6% per

annum above the interest rate applicable to each such Loan in effect on the day such Default occurs, until such Default is cured or waived.

(e) So long as the Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any other banking authority, domestic or foreign, to which the Lender is subject) to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in regulations issued from time to time by such Board of Governors), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan made by the Lender from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) obtained by subtracting (i) the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such LIBOR Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Reserve Percentage of the Lender for such Interest Period. Such additional interest shall be determined by the Lender and notified to the Borrower, and shall be payable on each date on which interest is payable on such LIBOR Loan.

(f) All agreements between the Borrower and the Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use or the forbearance of the Obligations exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. As used herein, the term “applicable law” shall mean the law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 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 the Loan Documents 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 Borrower and the Lender in the execution, delivery and acceptance of the Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts from time to time in effect. If, under or from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of any of the Loan Documents at the time of performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of such validity prescribed by applicable law, then the obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limits of such validity, and if under or from circumstances whatsoever the Lenders 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 of the Obligations and not to payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision of all Loan Documents.

2.5. Fees.

(a) With respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each quarter, equal to the amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the average daily principal balance of the Revolving Credit Outstanding during the quarter then-ended multiplied by a rate equal to 0.25% for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the six month anniversary thereof, and thereafter at a rate equal to 0.50%.

(b) With respect to the Acquisition Loan Commitment, prior to the Conversion Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each quarter, equal to the amount by which the Acquisition Loan Commitment exceeds the average daily principal balance of the Acquisition Loans Outstanding during the quarter then-ended multiplied by a rate equal to 0.25% for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the six month anniversary thereof, and thereafter at a rate equal to 0.50%.

(c) The Borrower may repay the Loans in full on or prior to the applicable Maturity Date without penalty or fee.

(d) Without limiting any of the Lender’s other rights hereunder or by law, if any Loan or any portion thereof or any interest thereon or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid within ten days after its due date, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand a late payment charge equal to 5% of the amount of the payment due.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, solely for the account of the Lender, such other fees as the Borrower and the Lender shall agree.

(f) The Borrower authorizes the Lender to charge to their Note Record or to any deposit account which the Borrower may maintain with any of them the interest, fees, charges, taxes and expenses provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

2.6. Payments and Prepayments of the Loans.

(a) On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the earlier termination of all Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans together with all unpaid interest thereon and all fees and other amounts due with respect thereto.

Loans that are Base Rate Loans may be prepaid at any time, without premium or penalty, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice. Any such notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable. Prepayments of Loans may be reborrowed to the extent provided in Section 2.1.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 2.1(b), if at any time the Total Revolving Credit Outstanding exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Borrowing Base, or the Acquisition Loans Outstanding exceed the Acquisition Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of any such excess to the Lender for application to the appropriate line of credit.

(d) The Acquisition Loans may be prepaid at any time, whether before or after the Conversion Date, subject to the provisions of Section 2.8, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice.

2.7. Method of Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in lawful money of the United States at the Lender’s head office or at such other location that the Lender may from time to time designate, in each case in immediately available funds, and shall be deemed to have been made only when made in compliance with this Section. All such payments shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount in U.S. Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lender to receive the same net amount which the Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Lender certificates or other valid vouchers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under such other Loan Document. The Lender may, and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender to, debit the amount of any payment not made by such time to the demand deposit accounts of the Borrower with the Lender or to its Note Record.

(b) If the Commitment shall have been terminated or the Obligations shall have been declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, all funds received from or on behalf of the Borrower (including as proceeds of Collateral) by the Lender in respect of Obligations, shall be applied by the Lender in the following manner and order: (i) first, to reimburse the Lender for any amounts payable pursuant to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 hereof; (ii) second, to the payment of Commitment Fees and any other fees payable hereunder; (iii) third, to the payment of interest due on the Loans; (iv) fourth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Loans pro rata to the outstanding principal balance of each; (v) fifth, to the payment of any other Obligations payable by the Borrower, pro rata to the outstanding principal balance of each; and (vi) any remaining funds shall be paid to whoever shall be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.7 (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender is not a United States Person and has not provided to the Borrower the required Internal Revenue Service Forms or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in Section 9.1, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.

2.8. Indemnity. If the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 2.6, 2.10, 2.11 and 8.2 hereof) makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan, or fails to borrow or continue or convert to a LIBOR Loan after giving a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion thereof pursuant to Section 2.3, or fails to prepay a LIBOR Loan after having given notice thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender any amount required to compensate the Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or failure, including, without limitation, any loss, costs or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds required by the Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender a “yield maintenance fee” in an amount computed as follows: the current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the expiration of the Interest Period of the Loan as to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the interest rate applicable (pursuant to Section 2.5(b)) to each LIBOR Loan in effect at the time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining in the Interest Period of the Loan as to which the prepayment is made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United States Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining in the Interest Period of the Loan as to which prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the yield maintenance fee due to the Lender upon the payment of a LIBOR Loan under the circumstances described in the first sentence of this Section. The Borrower shall pay such amount upon presentation by the Lender of a statement setting forth the amount and the Lender’s calculation thereof pursuant hereto, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.

If the Obligations are declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, then any amount provided for in this Section shall be due and payable in the same manner as though the Borrower had made a prepayment of the LIBOR Loans.

2.9. Computation of Interest and Fees; Due Date. Interest and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed daily on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days for which due. If the due date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law, interest shall be payable for such extended time. If any payment required by this Agreement becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to the definition of the term “Interest Period”), and such extension shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with such payment.

2.10. Changed Circumstances; Illegality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that:

(i) on any date on which the LIBOR Rate would otherwise be set the Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or

(ii) at any time the Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that:

(A) the making or continuation of or conversion of any Loan to a LIBOR Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by (1) the occurrence of a contingency that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market or (2) compliance by the Lender in good faith with any applicable law or governmental regulation, guideline or order or interpretation or change thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or with any request or directive of any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law); or

(B) the LIBOR Rate shall no longer represent the effective cost to the Lender for U.S. dollar deposits in the interbank market for deposits in which it regularly participates;

then, and in any such event, the Lender shall forthwith so notify the Borrower thereof. Until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the obligation of the Lender to allow selection by the Borrower of the Type of Loan affected by the contingencies described in this Section (herein called “Affected Loans”) shall be suspended. If, at the time the Lender so notifies the Borrower, the Borrower has previously given the Lender a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion with respect to one or more Affected Loans but such Loans have not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans.

(b) In the event of a determination of illegality pursuant to subsection (a)(ii)(A) above, the Borrower shall, with respect to the outstanding Affected Loans, prepay the same, together with interest thereon and any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9, on such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given) and may, subject to the conditions of this Agreement, borrow a Loan of another Type in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof by giving a Notice of Borrowing or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.

2.11. Increased Costs. In case any change made after the Closing Date in any law, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any court or by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) subjects the Lender to any tax with respect to payments of principal or interest or any other amounts payable hereunder by the Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (except for taxes on the overall net income of the Lender imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof), or

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the

account of, or loans by, the Lender (other than such requirements as are already included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate), or

(iii) imposes upon the Lender any other condition with respect to its obligations or performance under this Agreement,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, reduce the income receivable by the Lender or impose any expense upon the Lender with respect to any Loans or its obligations under this Agreement, the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by the Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail the Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.

2.12. Capital Requirements. If after the date hereof the Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by the Lender with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on the Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of the Lender’s Commitment to make Loans hereunder to a level below that which the Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender the amount of such reduction of return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by the Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail the Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error) unless within such 90 day period the Borrower shall have prepaid in full all Obligations to the Lender, in which event no amount shall be payable to the Lender under this Section. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

2.13 Limitations on Rights Under Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12, Lender shall only exercise any of its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12 with respect to the Borrower if Lender is exercising similar rights in a manner of general application to its other customers.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12 for any amounts incurred or accruing unless it shall have notified the Borrower that it will demand compensation for such costs or reductions within 120 days of the later of (i) the effective date of the event

resulting in the Lender’s exercise of its rights under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 2.11 hereof and (ii) the date on which Lender shall have become aware of such amounts.

SECTION IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans hereunder, the Borrower hereby makes to Lender the following representations and warranties (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the continued truth and accuracy of which are continuing conditions to the making of each Loan by Lender to Borrower:

4.1. Organization; Qualification; Business.

(a) Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (all of which are listed in Exhibit C attached hereto) (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, (ii) has all requisite power to own its property and conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated and (iii) is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation and is duly authorized to do business in each jurisdiction (all of which are listed on Exhibit C attached hereto) where the nature of its properties or business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, assets or properties of the Borrower or of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Borrower represents and warrants that AMS, does not currently own any material assets, is not a party to any material agreements, excepting the Office Lease, and does not currently conduct any material business.

(b) Since the date of the Initial Financial Statement, the Borrower has continued to engage in substantially the same business as that in which it was then engaged and is engaged in no unrelated business.

4.2. Corporate Authority; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby are within the power and authority of the Borrower and have been authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings, and do not and will not (a) contravene any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Borrower or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, (b) contravene any provision of, or constitute an event of default or event that, but for the requirement that time elapse or notice be given, or both, would constitute an event of default under, any other agreement, instrument, order or undertaking binding on the Borrower, or (c) result in or require the imposition of any Encumbrance on any of the properties, assets or rights of the Borrower, except in favor of the Lender.

4.3. Valid Obligations. The Loan Documents and all of their respective terms and provisions are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally,

and except as the remedy of specific performance or of injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The Security Documents have effectively created in favor of the Lender legal, valid and enforceable security interests in the Collateral and such security interests are fully perfected first priority security interests.

4.4. Consents or Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein do not require any approval or consent of, or filing or registration with, any governmental or other agency or authority, or any other Person (including without limitation any lessor or lessee of Borrower’s properties), except under or as contemplated by the Security Documents.

All leases under which Borrower or its Subsidiaries is the lessor or lessee are in full force and effect and there are no existing defaults or events that with the giving of notice or passage of time or both could ripen into defaults by either party thereunder. No third parties possess any rights with respect to any of Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries owned or leased properties, the exercise of which would have a material adverse effect on the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their respective operations, taken as a whole. All real property owned or leased by the Borrower is described in Exhibit C hereto.

4.6. Financial Statements; Indebtedness.

(a) The Borrower has furnished to the Lender its consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and its consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the fiscal year then ended, and related footnotes, audited and certified by the Borrower’s Accountants. The Borrower has also furnished to the Lender its unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007 and its unaudited consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the three months then ended (the “Initial Financial Statement”), certified by the principal financial officer of the Borrower, subject to normal, recurring year-end adjustments that shall not in the aggregate be material in amount. All such financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods specified and present fairly the financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for such periods. The Borrower have also furnished to the Lender its pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of the Closing Date and projections of its future consolidated results of operations, all of which were reasonable when made and continue to be reasonable at the date hereof.

(b) At the date hereof, the Borrower has no Indebtedness or other material liabilities, debts or obligations, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, including, but not limited to, liabilities or obligations on account of taxes or other governmental charges, that are not set forth on the Initial Financial Statement or on Exhibit C hereto.

4.7. Changes. Since the date of the Initial Financial Statement, there have been no changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, business or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than changes in the ordinary course of business, which has not, in the aggregate, had a Materially Adverse Effect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.8. Solvency. The Borrower has and, after giving effect to the Loans, will have, assets (both tangible and intangible) having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay the probable liability on its then-existing debts (whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent); the Borrower has and will have access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the discharge of its debts incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature; the Borrower was not insolvent immediately prior to the making of the Loans and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Borrower will not be insolvent.

All such contests at the date hereof are described on Exhibit C hereto. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not executed any waiver that would have the effect of extending the applicable statute of limitations in respect of tax liabilities. The federal and state income tax returns of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been audited or otherwise examined by any federal or state taxing authority. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have established on their books reserves adequate for the payment of all federal, state and other tax liabilities.

4.11. Litigation. Except as set forth in Borrower’s Form 10-K SB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 or in any other document subsequently filed by Borrower with the SEC for public distribution, there is no litigation, arbitration, proceeding or investigation pending, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s officers, threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary that, if adversely determined, may reasonably be expected to result in a material judgment not fully covered by insurance, may reasonably be expected to result in a forfeiture of all or any substantial part of the property of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the assets, business or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.12. Subsidiaries. All the Subsidiaries of the Borrower are listed on Exhibit C hereto. The Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower is the owner, free and clear of all Encumbrances, of all of the issued and outstanding stock or other Equity Interests of each Subsidiary. All shares

of such stock or other Equity Interests have been validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and no rights to subscribe to any additional shares have been granted, and no options, warrants or similar rights are outstanding.

The Borrower and each Subsidiary are duly authorized, qualified and licensed under, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and all real properties owned or leased by them are in compliance with, all applicable laws, regulations, authorizations and orders of public authorities, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, except to the extent that any such failure to be so authorized, qualified, licensed or in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, financial condition or operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Borrower and each Subsidiary have performed all obligations required to be performed by it under, and is not in default under or in violation of, its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or any other agreement, lease, mortgage, note, bond, indenture, license or other instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which any of it or any of its properties are bound, except for violations none of which, either individually or in the aggregate, would have any Material Adverse Effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

4.15. ERISA. The Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and the provisions of the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder applicable to the Plans. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, including by reason of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates. None of the Plans had any “unfunded benefit liabilities” (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA) as of the last annual valuation dates applicable thereto.

4.16. Environmental Matters.

(a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations and have made all filings, registrations and other submittals which are required under all Environmental Laws, except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, financial condition or operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such permits, licenses and authorizations, and are also in compliance with all applicable orders, decrees, judgments and injunctions, issued, entered, promulgated or approved under any Environmental

Law, except to the extent failure to comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(b) No written notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons or order has been issued and is outstanding, no complaint has been filed, no penalty has been assessed and no investigation or review is pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened by any governmental or other entity (i) with respect to any alleged failure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to have any permit, license or authorization required in connection with the conduct of its business or to comply with any Environmental Laws, or (ii) regarding the presence of any Hazardous Material at, on or under any property now or previously owned, leased or used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other location to which Hazardous Materials from such property had been transported or which they have been disposed of.

4.22 SEC Matters. Since August 31, 2006, except as set forth on Exhibit C, AMI has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by

As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of AMI included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of AMI as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

AMI is in substantial compliance with the currently applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are effective, and intends to comply and, to the extent, possible, have any prospective acquisitions comply when required substantially with other applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, upon the effectiveness of such provisions and has no reason to believe that it will not be so compliant upon such effectiveness. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of AMI have signed, and AMI has furnished to the SEC, all certifications required by Section 302 and Section 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act; such certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have not been modified or withdrawn; and neither AMI nor any of its officers has received notice from any governmental entity questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner of filing or submission of such certifications.

5.5. Inspection. The Borrower shall permit the Lender and its designees, at any reasonable time during normal business hours and at reasonable intervals of time, and upon reasonable notice (or if a Default shall have occurred and is continuing, at any time and without prior notice), to (i) visit and inspect the properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) subject to Section 10.16 hereof examine and make copies of and take abstracts from the books and records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and (iii) discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with their appropriate officers, employees and independent accountants, all at the expense of the Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower’s reimbursement obligation hereunder shall not exceed $4,000 per annum (excluding travel expenses) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will permit periodic reviews (as determined by the Lender) of the books and records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be carried out at the Borrower’s expense by commercial finance examiners designated by the Lender. The Borrower shall also permit the Lender to arrange for verification of Accounts Receivable, under reasonable procedures, directly with any account debtors or by other methods.

5.6. Maintenance of Books and Records.

(d) If any material assets (including any Equity Interests and any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is or becomes a Guarantor hereafter (other than assets constituting Collateral under any Collateral Document that become subject to the lien in favor of the Lender under any Collateral Document upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will notify the Lender, and, if requested by the Lender, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Borrower and any appropriate Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Lender to grant and perfect such liens, including actions described in paragraph (c) of this Section, all at the expense of the Borrower.

ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

9.1. Assignment. TD Banknorth shall have the right to assign at any time any portion of its Commitment hereunder and its interests in the risk relating to any Loans to other banks or financial institutions (each an “Assignee”) and to furnish from time to time to prospective Assignees copies of the Loan Documents and any information concerning the Borrowers in its possession, provided that if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Assignee which is not an Affiliate of TD Banknorth or a Federal Reserve Bank shall be subject to prior approval by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Assignee shall execute and deliver to TD Banknorth and the Borrower a joinder agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of such joinder agreement, (a) such Assignee shall, on the date and to the extent provided in such joinder agreement, become a “Lender” party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall have all rights and obligations of a “Lender” with a Commitment as set forth in such joinder agreement, and TD Banknorth shall, on the date and to the extent provided in such joinder agreement, be released prospectively from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to a corresponding extent (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the remaining portion of TD Banknorth’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, TD Banknorth shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.3 and to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid); (b) the assigning Lender, if it holds any Notes, shall promptly surrender such Notes to the Borrower for cancellation, provided that if TD Banknorth has retained any Commitment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to TD Banknorth new Notes in the amount of its retained Commitment; (c) the Borrower shall issue to such Assignee Notes in the amount of such Assignee’s Commitment, dated the Closing Date or such other date as may be specified by such Assignee and otherwise completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A; (d) this Agreement shall be deemed appropriately amended to reflect (i) the status of such Assignee as a party hereto and (ii) the status and rights of the Lender hereunder; and (e) the Borrower shall take such action as TD Banknorth may reasonably request to perfect any security interests or mortgages in favor of the Lender, including any Assignee which becomes a party to this Agreement.

If the Assignee, or any Participant pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, such Assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, simultaneously with or prior to such Assignee’s execution and delivery of the counterpart joinder described above in Section 9.1(a), and such Participant shall execute and deliver to the Lender granting the participation, a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8EC1 or W-8BEN (or any successor form), appropriately completed, wherein such Assignee or Participant claims entitlement to complete exemption from United

States Federal Withholding Tax on all interest payments hereunder and all fees payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any increased amount to any Assignee or other Lender on account of taxes to the extent such taxes would not have been payable if the Assignee or Participant had furnished one of the Forms referenced in this Section 9.1(b) unless the failure to furnish such a Form results from (i) a condition or event affecting the Borrower or an act or failure to act of the Borrower or (ii) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline affecting such Assignee or Participant occurring (x) after the date on which any such Assignee executes and delivers the counterpart joinder, or (y) after the date such Assignee shall otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 9.1(a), or (z) after the date a Participant is granted its participation.

The Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents, including any portion of any Note, to any of the twelve (12) Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section 341. No such pledge or any enforcement thereof shall release the Lender from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this 9.1, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participation therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” law of any State.

The Lender initially party to this Agreement hereby represents, and each Person that became a Lender pursuant to an assignment permitted by this Section 9.1 will, upon its becoming party to this Agreement, represent that it is an Eligible Transferee and that it will make or acquire Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of such business, provided that subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.2, the disposition of any promissory notes or other evidences or interests in Indebtedness held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

9.2. Participations. The Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, to grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) in all or any part of any Loans owing to the Lender and the Note held by the Lender, and shall have the right to furnish from time to time to prospective Participants copies of the Loan Documents and any information concerning the Borrowers in its possession provided that the Lender requires such Person to execute a participation agreement specifying that such Person shall be similarly bound by Section 10.16. The Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that the documents evidencing any such participation may provide that, except with the consent of such Participant, the Lender will not consent to (a) the reduction in or forgiveness of the stated principal of or rate of interest on or commitment fee with respect to the portion of any Loan subject to such participation, (b) the extension or postponement of any stated date fixed for payment of principal or interest or commitment fee with respect to the portion of any Loan subject to such participation, (c) the waiver or reduction of any right to indemnification of the Lender hereunder, or (d) except as otherwise permitted hereunder, the release of any Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no participation shall operate to increase the total Commitments hereunder or otherwise alter the substantive terms of this Agreement. In the event of any such

sale by the Lender of participating interests to a Participant, the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, the Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, the Lender shall remain the holder of such Note for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

10.2. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated herein shall be consummated, the Borrower promises to reimburse the Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and collateral evaluation costs) incurred or expended in connection with the preparation, filing or recording, interpretation or administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendment, modification, approval, consent or waiver hereof or thereof, or in connection with the enforcement of any Obligations, the exercise, preservation or enforcement of any rights, remedies or options of the Lender or the satisfaction of any Obligations, or in connection with any litigation, proceeding or dispute in any way related to the credit hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside legal counsel and the allocated costs of in house legal counsel, accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees or expenses; all fees, charges and expenses relating to any inspections, appraisals or examinations conducted in connection with the Loans or any Collateral; and all costs and expenses relating to any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral. The amount of all such costs and expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans and shall be an Obligation secured by the Collateral. The Borrower will pay any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereof), other than the Lender’s federal and state income taxes, payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (the Borrower hereby agreeing to indemnify the Lender with respect thereto).

10.3. Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, as well as their respective shareholders, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, subsidiaries and affiliates, from and against all damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, liabilities, claims, suits, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, demands, judgments, actions or causes of action, whether statutorily created or under the common law, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers and consultants) and all other liabilities whatsoever (including, without limitation, liabilities under Environmental Laws) which shall at any time or times be incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by any such indemnified Person (except any of the foregoing which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified Person) on account of or in relation to or any way in connection with any of the arrangements or transactions contemplated by, associated with or ancillary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other documents executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, all as the same may be amended from time to time, whether or not all or part of the transactions contemplated by, associated with or ancillary to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any such other documents are ultimately consummated. In any investigation, proceeding or litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lender shall select its own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. In the event of the commencement of any such proceeding or litigation, the Borrower shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding or litigation with counsel of its choice at its own expense, provided that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. The Borrower authorizes the Lender to charge any deposit account or Note Record which it may maintain with any of them for any of the foregoing. The covenants of

this Section 10.3 shall survive payment or satisfaction of payment of all amounts owing with respect to the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other Obligation.

10.4. Survival of Covenants, Etc. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lender, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Loans as herein contemplated and the termination of all Commitments, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Obligation remains outstanding and unpaid or the Lender has any obligation to make any Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall continue in full force and effect after the payment in full of all Obligations. All statements contained in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant hereto or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by the Borrower hereunder.

10.5. Set-Off. Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral or other means of obtaining repayment of the Obligations, any deposits, balances or other sums credited by or due from the head office of the Lender or any of its branch offices to the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time without notice to the Borrower or compliance with any other condition precedent now or hereafter imposed by statute, rule of law, or otherwise (all of which are hereby expressly waived) be set off, appropriated, and applied by the Lender against any and all Obligations of the Borrower in such manner as the head office of the Lender or any of its branch offices in its sole discretion may determine, and the Borrower hereby grants the Lender a continuing security interest in such deposits, balances or other sums for the payment and performance of all such Obligations.

ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHTS OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, BALANCES, OTHER SUMS AND PROPERTY OF THE BORROWERS ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

10.6. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall extend to or affect any Obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or omission on the part of the Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The rights and remedies herein and in the Notes and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by agreement or law.

10.7. Amendments, Waivers, etc. Neither this Agreement nor the Notes nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be amended, waived, discharged or

terminated except by a written instrument signed by the Lender and also, in the case of amendments, by the Borrower.

10.8. Binding Effect of Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder.

10.9. Lost Note, Etc. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of the Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note or any Security Document which is not a public record and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon cancellation of such Note or Security Document, if available, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Security Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

10.10. Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

10.11. Entire Agreement, Etc. The Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements (including the Commitment Letter dated March 28, 2007 between the Lender and the Borrower) with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOANS AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS OT BEEN WAIVED. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. THE BORROWER (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE LENDER

WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LENDER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH EACH IS A PARTY BECAUSE OF, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE BORROWER’S WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.

10.13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID COMMONWEALTH (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW). THE BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY OF THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN SUFFOLK COUNTY IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT TO ENFORCE THE RIGHTS OF THE LENDER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON THE BORROWER BY MAIL AT THE BORROWER’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH ACTION THAT SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

10.14. Patriot Act. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

10.16. Confidentiality. The Lender shall keep confidential and not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge (and cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to keep confidential and not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge) the Information (as defined below), except that Lender shall be permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates and representatives (including counsel) as need to know such Information (who will be informed of the confidential nature of the Information), (b) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any regulatory authority (in which event notice thereof will be provided to the Borrower and the applicable party to the extent not prohibited by applicable), (c) in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies
