NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW

Nabi Biopharmaceuticals discovers, develops, manufactures and markets products that power the immune system to help people with serious, unmet medical needs. We have a broad product portfolio and significant research capabilities focused on developing and commercializing novel vaccines and antibody-based biopharmaceutical products that prevent and treat infectious, autoimmune and addictive diseases, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and Staphylococcus aureus infections, immune thrombocytopenia purpura (“ITP”) and nicotine addiction. We have four marketed products, Nabi-HB® [Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human)] for the prevention of hepatitis B infections, WinRho SDF® [Rho (D) Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] for the treatment of acute, chronic and HIV-related ITP, Autoplex® T [Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex, Heat Treated] and Aloprim™ [(Allopurinol sodium) for injection]. We have a significant clinical trials program including clinical trials of our lead investigational products, StaphVAX® (Staphylococcus aureus Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine), Altastaph™ [Staphylococcus aureus Immune Globulin (Human)], Civacir™ [Hepatitis C Immune Globulin (Human)], and NicVAX™ (Nicotine Conjugate Vaccine). We have a state-of-the-art fractionation facility for the manufacture of Nabi-HB and our investigational antibody products and for contract manufacturing. We also collect specialty and non-specific antibodies for use in our products as well as to supply pharmaceutical and diagnostic customers for the subsequent manufacture of their products.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabi Biopharmaceuticals and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated during consolidation. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2002.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, the consolidated results of our operations for the three months and six months ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 and our cash flows for the six months then ended. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the fiscal year.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New accounting pronouncements: The Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, is effective immediately for all enterprises with variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 must be applied to variable interests in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 from the beginning of the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the variable interest entity and the company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We are currently reviewing the potential impact of FIN 46 on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Basis of presentation: Certain items in the June 28, 2002 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Stock-Based Compensation: On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. We continue to account for stock-based compensation based on the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

The following table summarizes our results as if we had recorded stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002 and for the six months then ended, based on the provisions of SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 148:

NOTE 3. INVENTORIES

The components of inventories, stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method, are as follows:

                   
(Dollars in Thousands)   June 28, 2003   December 28, 2002

 
 
Finished goods
  $ 14,624     $ 12,142

Raw materials
    969       1,011  
 
   
     
 
 
Total
  $ 24,306     $ 19,388  
 
   
     
 

The increase in inventory as of June 28, 2003 is primarily the result of higher levels of Nabi-HB inventory as compared to December 28, 2002.

NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing our net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

When the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing our net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all dilutive potential common shares, primarily stock options. The dilutive impact of stock options is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method.

The following table reconciles net (loss) income and shares for the basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share computations:

NOTE 6. TREASURY STOCK

In separate transactions on June 19, 2003, February 24, 2003 and March 28, 2002, an officer of the Company exercised stock options for 355,735 shares, 67,627 shares and 60,000 shares, respectively of our common stock. Additionally, on May 6, 2003 a member of our Board of Directors exercised stock options for 4,500 shares of our common stock. These purchases were paid for by delivery of 190,683 shares of common stock, 38,358 shares of common stock, 40,107 shares of common stock, and 2,371 shares of common stock, respectively, which were valued at $1.4 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $16 thousand for the respective transactions. In each of the transactions, the shares delivered had been acquired more than six months earlier by the officer and the member of our Board of Directors. These shares have been accounted for as treasury stock.

On September 19, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the buy back of up to $5.0 million of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will allow us to have treasury stock available to support our stock option and stock purchase programs. During the first six months of 2002, we purchased 171,483 shares of our common stock for $0.9 million under this buy back program. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock during the first six months of 2003. To date we have acquired 345,883 shares of our common stock for a total of $1.9 million since the inception of this buy back program. Repurchased shares have been accounted for as treasury stock.

In 2000, we entered into contract manufacturing agreements with Dow Biopharmaceuticals Contract Manufacturing Services (“Dow”) to establish commercial manufacturing capability for StaphVAX. The manufacturing process for StaphVAX is being transferred to Dow from our pilot manufacturing plant in Rockville, Maryland. We are using StaphVAX material from initial clinical lots manufactured at Dow under current Good Manufacturing Practices for the immunogenicity study that commenced in June 2003 and we plan to use this StaphVAX material for the confirmatory Phase III trial planned to commence in the second half of 2003. We expect Dow to complete scale-up of manufacturing at the facility and to begin the production of consistency lots of StaphVAX in 2004. The contract manufacturing agreements require us to make certain payments to Dow to secure future access to commercial vaccine manufacturing capacity and to enable Dow to ready its facility for its intended use, the future commercial scale manufacture of StaphVAX. These payments have been recorded as a Manufacturing Right and included in Intangible Assets. The original contract to ready the Dow facility to manufacture StaphVAX, which was scheduled to expire in October 2002, has been extended through July 2003. We expect to sign an amended contract with Dow to complete readying the facility for its intended use, the commercial manufacture of StaphVAX. Amortization of the Manufacturing Right is expected to commence when commercial manufacture of StaphVAX commences at Dow. If we determine that commercial manufacture of StaphVAX will not occur at Dow’s facility, we will write off the Manufacturing Right in the period of that determination.

NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On June 20, 2003, we entered into a retirement agreement with David J. Gury, our former Chief Executive Officer. As a result we incurred a charge of $3.3 million comprising approximately $3.0 million in future cash payments and $0.3 million of costs related to modification to certain of his outstanding stock options. The liability for future cash payments is included in accrued expenses for the current portion, and in other liabilities for the long-term portion, as of June 28, 2003. Future cash payments will be paid over three years commencing January 2004. In addition, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Gury for provision of transition services through December 31, 2003. Mr. Gury continues to serve as non-executive Chairman of our Board of Directors.

In October 2001, we engaged Stonebridge Associates, LLC, an investment bank, the president of which is a member of our Board of Directors, to provide financial advisory services in connection with our review and implementation of a corporate expansion strategy. The agreement, as amended in October 2002, provides for a monthly retainer of $30 thousand plus hourly charges. If the engagement results in transactions by us involving aggregate consideration paid in excess of a specified level, Stonebridge receives additional fees based upon the consideration paid. Stonebridge acted as our financial adviser in connection with our agreement to acquire the worldwide rights to PhosLo® (Calcium Acetate) from Braintree Laboratories, Inc. announced on June 23, 2003 and will receive a fee of approximately $0.3 million for its services if the transaction is consummated. Refer to Note 12. We believe that the terms of the engagement with Stonebridge are no less favorable to us than would have been obtained from an unrelated party. During the quarters ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, we paid $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively to Stonebridge. In the six month periods ended June 28, 2003 and June 29, 2002, we paid $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to Stonebridge.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 2003 AND JUNE 29, 2002

Sales. Sales for the second quarter of 2003 were $34.6 million compared to sales of $50.8 million for the second quarter of 2002.

Biopharmaceutical sales were $22.0 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $24.8 million in the second quarter of 2002. In the second quarter of 2003, biopharmaceutical sales benefited from increased sales of WinRho SDF® [Rho (D) Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] which increased almost 20% as compared to the second quarter of 2002. Based on our review of patient utilization data, patient use of WinRho SDF has attained record levels in the second quarter of 2003. This increase combined with increases in wholesaler and distributor inventory in response to increased patient demand have driven higher sales of WinRho SDF reported this quarter. Sales of Nabi-HB® [Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human)] decreased 18% from second quarter 2002 levels. The most significant use of Nabi-HB is for the treatment of hepatitis B positive liver transplant patients in the period of and following liver transplant. As reported by the United Network for Organ Sharing (“UNOS”), in the current year to date period liver transplants for hepatitis B patients have declined approximately 30% from the prior year. The effects of this decrease were partially offset by the beneficial impact of programs to increase market share for Nabi-HB. During the second quarter of 2002, sales of Nabi-HB to our wholesaler and distributor customers benefited from our management of the transition to product manufactured at our Boca Raton facility following licensure of the facility in October 2001. In the second half of 2001 we had reduced wholesaler and distributor inventories of Nabi-HB manufactured at the then contract manufacturer’s facility in anticipation of our licensure to manufacture of Nabi-HB at our Boca Raton biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility. Other biopharmaceuticals sales primarily comprise sales of Autoplex® T [Anti-Inhibitor Coagulant Complex, Heat Treated] and Aloprim™ [(Allopurinol sodium) for injection]. The decrease in other biopharmaceuticals sales is due to lower sales of Autoplex T and Aloprim compared to the second quarter of 2002. Decreased sales of Autoplex T are the result of product supply shortfalls from the manufacturer that may continue through 2003. Aloprim sales, which were lower in the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 were impacted by product supply shortfalls from the manufacturer of the product in the first quarter of 2003 that resulted in patient treatments being supported by alternate products. Aloprim product supply from the manufacturer resumed in the second quarter of 2003 and we anticipate product sales for the full year to return to 2002 patient use levels. Aloprim sales in the second quarter of 2002 benefited from receipt of two backordered lots that were substantially sold in that period.

Total antibody sales in the second quarter of 2003 were $12.7 million compared to $26.0 million in the second quarter of 2002. Non-specific antibody sales decreased due to the impact of completing our obligations under a single contract in April 2003, which was retained by us following the sale of the majority of the antibody collection business and testing laboratory in September 2001. The purchaser of the majority of the antibody collection business and testing laboratory supplied us with non-specific antibodies to fulfill this obligation at the selling price under this contract. As a result, we did not record any margin under this arrangement. Because we retained the risk of credit loss associated with this customer we recorded revenues on these sales. Such non-specific antibody sales totaled $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $13.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. Non-specific antibody sales from our antibody collection centers were $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2002. Specialty antibody sales were $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2002, a decrease of approximately $1.8 million, primarily reflecting reduced sales of rabies and RhoD antibodies. We have a contractual commitment to supply substantial quantities of RhoD antibodies to the purchaser of the majority of our antibody collection and laboratory testing business at a low margin through 2004. This commitment limited our ability to sell these antibodies to other customers at higher margins during the second quarter of 2003 and we will be limited in our ability to sell these antibodies to other customers throughout 2003.

Gross margin. Gross margin, for the second quarter of 2003 was $14.5 million, or 42% of sales, compared to $16.5 million, or 32% of sales in the second quarter of 2002. The dollar decrease in gross profit for the second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 primarily reflects decreased sales of Nabi-HB and Aloprim. During the second quarter of 2003 we carried out a scheduled

maintenance shut down at our Boca Raton manufacturing facility. As a result, we incurred excess plant capacity expense of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2003. This excess capacity expense compared to an excess plant capacity expense of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2002, the facility’s third quarter of commercial operation. Gross margin in each of the second quarters of 2003 and 2002 benefited from gross non-performance penalty amounts from the manufacturer of Autoplex T of $2.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Royalty expense for the second quarter of 2003 was $4.4 million, or 20% of biopharmaceutical sales compared to $4.3 million, or 17% of biopharmaceutical sales, in the second quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting increased sales of WinRho SDF.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $10.2 million, in the second quarter of 2002. Increased selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2003 included a charge of $3.3 million related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense was $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2003 compared to $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2002. Consistent with the strategic focus of our research and development activities, 60% of research and development expense in the second quarter of 2003 has been to support activity under our Gram-positive infections program. Our primary activities in the second quarter of 2003 were to successfully advance the manufacturing process for StaphVAX® (Staphylococcus aureus Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine), including the formulation of bulk product and preparation for the upcoming confirmatory Phase III clinical trial of StaphVAX. On June 19, 2003, we announced the start of a clinical trial to evaluate the antibody level response of a limited number of clinical trial patients (immunogenicity) of StaphVAX using a lot of vaccine that was manufactured at our contract manufacturer’s site. This lot of vaccine is also intended for use in our confirmatory Phase III clinical trial for StaphVAX planned to commence later this year. In the second quarter, we also concluded an agreement with Duke University to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of Altastaph™ [Staphylococcus aureus Immune Globulin (Human)] in low birth weight newborns that is planned to commence in the third quarter of 2003. Other significant clinical activities included continuation of a Phase I/II clinical trial for NicVAX™ (Nicotine Conjugate Vaccine) in smokers and ex-smokers in The Netherlands. This trial is now fully enrolled. We expect to announce results from this Phase I/II trial in early 2004 and, based on initial safety data generated in the clinical trial in The Netherlands, we plan to commence a Phase II clinical trial of NicVAX™ in smokers in the US in the third quarter of 2003. This US based Phase II trial will be substantially funded by our National Institute of Drug Abuse (“NIDA”) grant. Research and development activities in the second quarter of 2003 further included costs related to ongoing support for our Civacir™ [Hepatitis C Immune Globulin (Human)] Phase I/II clinical trial, which has been completed and for which we expect to announce results later this year, and to support our Nabi-HB Intravenous Biologics License Application filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November 2002.

Interest income. Interest income for the second quarter of 2003 was $0.2 million compared to $0.2 million for the comparable period of 2002. Interest income is earned from investing cash and cash equivalents on hand in money market funds and auction rate securities with maturities of three months or less.

Interest expense. Interest expense for the second quarter of 2003 was $62 thousand compared to $77 thousand for the second quarter of 2002. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2003 represents interest accrued on the credit facility entered into in June 2003.

Other factors. The provision for income taxes reflected a benefit of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared to a provision of $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2002. The 28% effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2003 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to expected tax benefits arising from research and development tax credits and foreign sales credits.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 2003 AND JUNE 29, 2002

Sales. Sales for the first six months of 2003 were $86.2 million compared to sales of $91.8 million for the first six months of 2002.

Biopharmaceutical sales in the first six months of 2003 were $44.7 million compared to $40.1 million for the first six months of 2002, an increase of 11%. Sales of WinRho SDF increased 65% in the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002. Patient use of WinRho SDF has attained record levels in 2003. This increased patient usage of the product during the first six months of 2003 combined with increases in wholesaler and distributor inventory in response to increased patient demand have driven higher sales of WinRho SDF. In addition, sales of WinRho SDF in the first half of 2002 were negatively impacted by an inventory build-up by our wholesaler and distributor customers in 2001 in response to product supply shortages from the manufacturer of this product in 2001. Sales of Nabi-HB in the first half of 2003 were essentially even with the sales levels reported in the first half of 2002. The most significant use of Nabi-HB is for the treatment of hepatitis B positive liver transplant patients in the period of and following liver transplant. As reported by UNOS, in the current year to date period liver transplants for hepatitis B patients have declined approximately 30% from the prior year. The effects of this decrease were offset by the beneficial impact of programs to increase our market share for Nabi-HB resulting in year to date patient utilization of Nabi-HB being essentially even, in line with our year to date reported sales of Nabi-HB. Sales of Nabi-HB in the first half of 2002 benefited from completion of the transition to Nabi-HB product manufactured in our Boca Raton facility in that period. Other biopharmaceuticals sales primarily comprise sales of Autoplex T and Aloprim. Decreased sales of Autoplex T are the result of product supply shortfalls from the manufacturer that may continue through 2003. Aloprim sales were lower in the six months ended June 28, 2003 compared to the comparable period of 2002. Aloprim sales in the six month period were impacted by product supply shortfalls from the manufacturer of the product in the first quarter of 2003 which resulted in patient treatment being supported by alternate products. Aloprim supply from the manufacturer resumed in April 2003 and we anticipate Aloprim product sales for the full year to return to 2002 patient use levels. Aloprim sales in the first half of 2002 benefited from receipt of two back ordered lots that were substantially sold in that period.

Total antibody sales in the first six months of 2003 were $41.5 million compared to $51.6 million in the comparable period of 2002. Non-specific antibody sales include shipments to a single customer under a supply contract that we fulfilled in April 2003, which was retained by us following the sale of the majority of the antibody collection business and testing laboratory in September 2001. The purchaser of the majority of the antibody collection business and testing laboratory supplied us with non-specific antibodies to fulfill this obligation at the selling price under this contract. As a result, we did not record any margin under this arrangement. Because we retained the risk of credit loss with this customer, we recorded revenues on these sales. Such non-specific antibody sales totaled $18.6 million for the first six months of 2003 and $27.6 million in the first six months of 2002. Non-specific antibody sales from our own antibody collection centers were $10.5 million in the first six months of 2003 compared to $8.6 million in the comparable period of 2002. Specialty antibody sales were $12.5 million in the six months ended June 28, 2003 compared to $15.3 million in the comparable period of 2002, a decrease of approximately $2.8 million. This decrease primarily reflects reduced sales of rabies, hepatitis B and RhoD antibodies. Hepatitis B antibodies produced at our antibody collection centers were primarily retained by us to support the manufacture of Nabi-HB in 2003, limiting the amount of these antibodies available for sale. Hepatitis B antibodies are the primary raw material in the manufacture of Nabi-HB. In addition, we have a contractual commitment to supply substantial quantities of RhoD antibodies to the purchaser of the majority of our antibody collection and laboratory testing business at a low margin through 2004. This commitment limited our ability to sell these antibodies to other customers at higher margins during the first six months of 2003 and we will be limited in our ability to sell these antibodies to other customers throughout 2003. The impact of decreased rabies, hepatitis B and RhoD specialty antibody sales were partially offset by increased tetanus antibody sales.

Gross margin. Gross margin for the first six months of 2003 was $31.2 million, or 36% of sales, compared to $30.6 million, or 33% of sales, in the first six months of 2002. The increase in gross profit for the first six months of 2003 compared to the first six months of 2002 primarily reflects the increased proportion of higher margin biopharmaceutical sales compared to total sales reported this period. During the first six months of 2003, we incurred excess plant capacity expense of $1.8 million, which was due to a scheduled plant maintenance shutdown in the second quarter of 2003. Excess plant capacity expense

Table of Contents

was $2.1 million in the six months ended June 29, 2002, representing a period of the facility’s initial commercial operation. Gross margin in the first six months of 2003 and 2002 benefited from gross non-performance penalty amounts from the manufacturer of Autoplex T of $4.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Offsetting these gross margin gains were reduced margin from sales of antibody products, increased costs of manufacture for Nabi-HB and the impact of lower sales of Aloprim.

Royalty expense for the first six months of 2003 was $8.3 million, or 19% of biopharmaceutical sales, compared to $5.9 million, or 15% of biopharmaceutical sales, in the comparable period of 2002, primarily reflecting increased sales of WinRho SDF.

Selling, general and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense was $22.8 million for the first six months of 2003 compared to $19.4 million in the comparable period of 2002. Increased selling, general and administrative expense in the first six months of 2003 included a charge of $3.3 million related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer as well as increased use of consultants compared to the comparable period of 2002.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense was $11.7 million for the first six months of 2003 compared to $9.3 million in the comparable period of 2002. Consistent with the strategic focus of our research and development activities, 55% of research and development expense in 2003 has been to support activity under our Gram-positive infections program. Our primary activities in the first six months of 2003 were to successfully advance the manufacturing process for StaphVAX, including the formulation of bulk StaphVAX product and preparation for the upcoming confirmatory Phase III clinical trial of StaphVAX. On June 19, 2003, we announced the start of a clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity of StaphVAX using a lot of vaccine that was manufactured at our contract manufacturer’s site. This lot of vaccine is also intended for use in our confirmatory Phase III clinical trial of StaphVAX planned to commence later this year. In addition, we concluded an agreement with Duke University to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of Altastaph™ in low birth weight newborns that is scheduled to commence in the third quarter of this year. In other significant clinical activities we initiated a second Phase I/II clinical trial for NicVAX in smokers and ex-smokers in The Netherlands. This trial is now fully enrolled. We expect to announce results from this Phase I/II trial in early 2004. Based on the initial safety data obtained from the clinical trial conducted in The Netherlands, we plan to commence a Phase II clinical trial of NicVAX in smokers in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2003. This U.S. based Phase II trial will be substantially funded by our NIDA grant. Research and development activities in the first six months of 2003 also included costs related to ongoing support for our Civacir Phase I/II clinical trial, which has been completed and for which we expect to announce results later this year, and to support our Nabi-HB Intravenous Biologics License Application filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November 2002.

Interest income. Interest income for the first six months of 2003 was $0.4 million compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period of 2002. Interest income is earned from investing cash and cash equivalents on hand in money market funds and auction rate securities with maturities of three months or less. The decrease in interest income is due to lower average outstanding cash balances and reduced interest rates. In September 2001, we received proceeds of $135 million, net of repayment of then outstanding bank debt and closing costs, from the sale of the majority of our antibody collection business and testing laboratory. These funds were invested in the financial instruments discussed above. In April 2002, a portion of these funds was utilized to redeem our $78.5 million 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”).

Interest expense. Interest expense for the first half of 2003 was $63 thousand compared to $1.9 million for the first half of 2002. The 2003 amount represents interest accrued on the credit facility entered into on June 20, 2003. The 2002 expense relates to interest on the 6.5% Convertible Subordinated Notes which were redeemed in April 2002.

Other factors. The provision for income taxes reflected a benefit of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 2003, compared to a provision of $62 thousand for the comparable period in 2002. The 29% effective tax rate for the six months of 2003 differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to expected tax benefits arising from research and development tax credits and foreign sales credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2003 were $58.6 million.

Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 28, 2003 was $0.7 million primarily reflecting decreased trade payables and accrued expenses of $11.1 million, including settlement of our prepaid property insurance premiums and amounts accrued for incentive compensation earned in 2002. In addition, cash used by operations reflected increased inventory of $5.6 million primarily resulting from increased levels of production of Nabi-HB during the first six months of 2003 to ensure adequate inventory on hand, including inventory to support our market needs during the scheduled plant maintenance shut down that occurred in the second quarter of 2003. These uses of cash were partially offset by reductions in trade receivables of approximately $13.9 million and cash generated from operations.

On June 20, 2003, we entered into a credit facility agreement with Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., part of Wells Fargo & Company, which allows for borrowings of up to $35 million. The credit facility is comprised of a term loan of $10 million, which was funded on June 20, 2003, and a revolving line of credit up to $25 million. The credit facility has a term of three years. The term loan is repayable on an amortization schedule over the term of the credit agreement with a balloon payment due at the term of the credit agreement. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are limited by borrowing base restrictions, and are comprised of eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances, as defined. Under the terms of the credit agreement the term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.5% and the revolving line of credit bears interest at either the base rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus a percentage based upon our financial performance. Our obligations under the credit agreement are secured by all of our assets. Under terms of the credit agreement we must comply with certain covenants, including a restriction on payment of dividends. As of June 28, 2003 we complied with these covenants. As of June 28, 2003, we had no borrowings and an unused borrowing capacity of approximately $16 million under the revolving line of credit agreement.

In 2000, we entered into contract manufacturing agreements with Dow Biopharmaceuticals Contract Manufacturing Services (“Dow”) to establish commercial manufacturing capability for StaphVAX. During the six months ended June 28, 2003, we paid $2.6 million related to the acquisition of a Manufacturing Right at the Dow facility. The acquired Manufacturing Right is recorded as an Intangible Asset in our financial statements. The original contract to ready the Dow facility to manufacture StaphVAX, which was scheduled to expire in October 2002, has been extended through July 2003. We expect to sign an amended contract with Dow to complete readying the facility for its intended use, the commercial manufacture of StaphVAX. This modification will require us to make significant additional payments to Dow, expected to be in excess of $15 million, relating to the acquisition of the Manufacturing Right. We also expect to have a right to cancel the amended Dow agreements for a limited period after the amendment is executed.

On June 23, 2003, we announced that we had signed an agreement to acquire the worldwide rights to PhosLo from Braintree Laboratories, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, we will acquire the rights to PhosLo for the payment of $60.3 million in cash and issuance of 1.5 million shares of our common stock at the closing date for the transaction, currently anticipated as August 4, 2003, and the payment of $30 million cash over the period ending March 1, 2007.

Capital expenditures were $1.5 million for the first six months of 2003. At June 28, 2003, we had total capital commitments of $2.5 million for the remainder of 2003 related to construction of our laboratory and cold storage facilities on our property in Boca Raton, Florida.

In connection with an agreement related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer announced on June 20, 2003, we incurred a charge of $3.3 million including $3.0 million in future cash payments over the three years commencing January 2004 and $0.3 million of costs related to modification of the rights under certain of his outstanding stock options.

On September 19, 2001, our Board of Directors approved the expenditure of up to $5.0 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases will allow us to have treasury stock available to support our stock option and stock purchase programs. We have acquired no shares under this program in 2003. We will evaluate market conditions in the future and make decisions to repurchase additional shares of our common stock on a case-by-case basis in accordance with our Board of Directors’ approval.

We believe that cash flow from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, together with our ability to borrow funds should the need arise, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operations for at least the next twelve months. In addition, in July we completed a private placement of 5,577,000 shares of common stock to a group of institutional investors and received cash of approximately $31.3 million, net of issuance costs. Proceeds from the equity placement will be used for our acquisition of PhosLo.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible Assets

In 2000, we entered into contract manufacturing agreements with Dow to establish commercial manufacturing capability for StaphVAX. The manufacturing process for StaphVAX is being transferred to Dow from our pilot manufacturing plant in Rockville, Maryland. We are using StaphVAX material from initial clinical lots manufactured at Dow under current Good Manufacturing Practices for the immunogenicity study that commenced in June 2003, and we intend to use this StaphVAX material for the subsequent confirmatory Phase III trial, planned to commence in the second half of 2003. We expect Dow to complete scale-up of manufacturing at the facility and to begin the production of consistency lots of StaphVAX in 2004. The contract manufacturing agreements require us to make certain payments to Dow to secure future access to commercial vaccine manufacturing capacity and to enable Dow to ready its facility for its intended use, the future commercial scale manufacture of StaphVAX. These payments have been recorded as a Manufacturing Right and included in Intangible Assets. Amortization of the Manufacturing Right is expected to commence when commercial manufacture of StaphVAX commences at Dow. Management believes that we will manufacture StaphVAX at Dow’s facility at commercial scale in future periods. If we determine that manufacture of StaphVAX will not occur at Dow’s facility, we will write off the Manufacturing Right in the period of that determination. As of June 28, 2003, and December 28, 2002, the Manufacturing Right was $13.5 million and $10.9 million, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation

We incurred $90.3 million to construct our biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Boca Raton, Florida. We received approval to manufacture our antibody-based biopharmaceutical product, Nabi-HB, at this facility from the FDA in October 2001. In constructing the facility we incurred approximately $26.8 million in direct costs of acquiring the building, building systems, manufacturing equipment and computer systems. We also incurred a total of $63.5 million of costs related to validation of the facility to operate in a FDA approved environment and capitalized interest. Costs related to validation and capitalized interest have been allocated to the building, building systems, manufacturing equipment and computer systems. Buildings and building systems are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 39 years and 20 years, respectively, the estimated useful lives of these assets. The specialized manufacturing equipment and computer systems are depreciated using the units-of-production method of depreciation subject to a minimum level of depreciation based on straight-line depreciation. The units-of-production method of depreciation is based on management’s estimate of production levels. Management believes the units-of-production method is appropriate for these specialized assets. Use of the units-of-production method of depreciation may result in significantly different financial results of operation than straight-line depreciation in periods of lower than average or higher than average production levels. However, this differential is

19


Table of Contents

limited in periods of lower than average production, as we record a minimum of 60% of the depreciation that would have otherwise been recorded had we used the straight-line method. In the first six months of 2003, we recorded additional depreciation of $1.0 million under this policy, including additional depreciation of $0.7 million in the second quarter ended June 28, 2003. For the comparable periods of 2002 we recorded additional depreciation of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Revenue Recognition

In the first six months of 2003 and 2002, we had biopharmaceutical product sales of $44.7 million and $40.1 million, respectively. At June 28, 2003 and December 28, 2002 we had $22.5 million and $36.3 million respectively of accounts receivable including $14.7 million and $22.2 million respectively from biopharmaceuticals sales. Our primary customers for biopharmaceutical products are pharmaceutical wholesalers. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, revenue from biopharmaceutical product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer. Reported sales are net of estimated customer prompt pay discounts, contractual allowances in accordance with managed care agreements, government payer rebates and other wholesaler fees. At June 28, 2003 and December 28, 2003 we had $4.5 million and $3.9 million respectively, recorded in accrued expenses related to these contractual obligations.

Inventory and Reserves for Slow Moving or Obsolete Inventory

At June 28, 2003 and December 28, 2002, we had inventory on hand of $24.3 million and $19.4 million respectively. In the six months ended June 28, 2003, we recorded a provision for inventory valuation allowance of $0.7 million. For the comparable period of 2002 we did not record any provision for inventory valuation allowance. We review inventory on hand at each reporting period to assess that inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and that inventory on hand is saleable. Our assessment of inventory includes review of selling price compared to inventory carrying cost, recent sales trends, our expectations for sales trends in future periods and product shelf life expiration. Based on these assessments, we provide for an inventory valuation allowance in the period in which the requirement is identified.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, is effective immediately for all enterprises with variable interests in variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The provisions of FIN 46 must be applied to variable interests in variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003 from the beginning of the third quarter of 2003. If an entity is determined to be a variable interest entity, it must be consolidated by the enterprise that absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns if they occur, or both. Where it is reasonably possible that the company will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest entity, the company must disclose the nature, purpose, size and activity of the variable interest entity and the company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. We are currently reviewing the potential impact of FIN 46 on our financial statements.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to significant market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk.

Interest Rate Risk. At June 28, 2003, we had a term loan under our credit facility of $10.0 million and cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $58.6 million. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and auction rate securities with maturities of three months or less placed with major financial institutions.

Our exposure to market risk relates to our borrowings and to our cash and investments. Our borrowings under our credit facility are subject to changes in interest rates, specifically LIBOR, and expire in June 2006. We maintain an investment portfolio of money market funds, qualified purchaser funds, and auction rate securities. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged, and are, due to their very short-term nature, subject to minimal interest rate risk. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that a change in market rates would have a significant negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, bank obligations, repurchase agreements and high-quality corporate issuers, and, by policy, restrict our exposure to any single corporate issuer by imposing concentration limits. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we maintain investments at an average maturity of generally less than one month. The table below presents the principal amount and weighted-average interest rate for our investment and debt portfolio:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Within 90 days of filing this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in this report has been accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding such required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to litigation in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition or results of operations.

During 2002, we were named as one of over 40 pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical defendants in three lawsuits filed in the Superior Court of the State of California; two filed in the County of San Francisco on August 23, 2002 and September 9, 2002 and one filed in the County of Alameda on July 12, 2002. To date we have been served in only one suit. All three cases were removed to United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The cases each involve claims that insurers and consumers of the defendants’ products made overpayments for those products based on an alleged manipulation of Average Wholesale Price, a standard which governs amounts that physicians, hospitals and other providers receive as reimbursement for purchases of the defendants’ products. The plaintiffs seek damages, equitable relief and disgorgement of profits. The three lawsuits are in their preliminary stages. As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 29, 2003, all three cases have been transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts for inclusion in the consolidated multi-district litigation (“MDL”). We were not a named defendant in this proceeding’s Master Consolidated Complaint, nor were we included as a defendant in the Amended Master Consolidated Complaint, which was filed by the MDL plaintiffs in June 2003. However, we are still a named defendant in the California cases that were transferred to Massachusetts federal court.

Exhibit 3.1 BY-LAWS OF NABI BIOPHARMACEUTICALS ARTICLE I Offices The registered office shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware, and the name of the resident agent in charge thereof is The Corporation Trust Company. The corporation may also have offices at such other places within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint or the business of the corporation may require. ARTICLE II Meetings of Stockholders Section l. Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders for any purpose shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board or the President and stated in the notice of the meeting. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held in any place but shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the Board of Directors shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder, (b) the Board of Directors shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation. Section 2. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, for the election of Directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such

other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. Section 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or by order of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of such meeting. Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, notice of the time and place of holding each annual meeting and each special meeting of stockholders shall be given by the Secretary, not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. Section 5. List of Stockholders. At least ten days before every meeting of stockholders a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be prepared by the Secretary, who shall have charge of the stock ledger. Nothing contained in this Section 5 shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the 2

stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders. Section 6. Quorum. At any meeting of stockholders, the holders of issued and outstanding shares of capital stock which represent a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either the person presiding over the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented. Section 7. Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 11 months from its date. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to the Board of Directors and a majority of the votes properly cast on any question other than election to the Board of Directors shall decide the question unless the question is one upon which by express provision of law or of the certificate of incorporation or of these by-laws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Section 8. Fixing of Record Date. (a) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action other than stockholder action by written consent, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date such record date is fixed and shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any such other action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given. The record date for any other purpose other than stockholder action by written consent shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. (b) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a 3

record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or any officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. Section 9. Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the By-laws shall be eligible to serve as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 9, who shall be entitled to vote for the election of Directors at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 9. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 100 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting or such public disclosure was made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice (i) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of such stockholder and (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a Director shall furnish to the Secretary of the corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible to serve as a Director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this By-law. The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the By-laws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

For business to be properly brought before a stockholder meeting by a stockholder, the business must relate to a proper subject matter for stockholder action and the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than 90 days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 100 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder, to be timely must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation's books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder and (d) any material interest in the stockholder in such business. Notwithstanding anything in the By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 10. The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of the By-laws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section.

The termination of any action, suit 10

or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful. (b) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper. (c) In addition to and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Article VII and except to the extent otherwise required by law, any person seeking indemnification under or pursuant to this Section 1 shall be deemed and presumed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section l unless the contrary shall be established, and the corporation shall have the burden of proof to overcome such prescription in connection with the making by any person or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. Section 2. Employees and Agents. Subject to the provisions of Section 5, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may authorize the corporation to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as presently in effect or as hereafter amended): (a) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such suit, action or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not 11

opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. (b) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts, to the extent permitted by law, paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper. Section 3. Indemnification for Expenses of Successful Party. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a present or former Director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 or in Section 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action, suit or proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to such person, (ii) an adjudication that such person was liable to the corporation, (iii) a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by such person, (iv) an adjudication that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal proceeding, an adjudication that such person had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, such person shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto. Section 4. Procedure. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless required by law or ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former Director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable 12

standard of conduct set forth in Sections l and 2 of this Article VII. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a Director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum or (ii) by a committee of such Directors designated by majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum or (iii) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders of the corporation. Section 5. Notification and Defense of Claim; Right to Institute Suit. (a) In addition to and without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Article VII and except to the extent otherwise required by law, it shall be a condition of the corporation's obligation to indemnify under Sections l and 2 of this Article VII (in addition to any other condition in these by-laws or by law provided or imposed) that the person asserting, or proposing to assert, the right to be indemnified, must notify the corporation in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such person for which indemnity will or could be sought, but the failure to so notify shall not affect the corporation's objection to indemnify except to the extent the corporation is adversely affected thereby. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the corporation is so notified, the corporation will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to such person. After notice from the corporation to such person of its election so to assume such defense, the corporation shall not be liable to such person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation other than as provided below in this subsection (a). Such person shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the corporation of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of such person unless (i) the employment of counsel by such person has been authorized by the corporation, (ii) counsel to such person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the corporation and such person in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the corporation shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for such person shall be at the expenses of the corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Article VII. The corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of such person, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the corporation or as to which counsel for such person shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The corporation shall not be required to indemnify such person under this Article VII for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent. The corporation shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on such person without such person's written consent. Neither the corporation nor such person will unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement. (b) If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full by the corporation within 90 days after a written claim therefor has been 13

received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting such claim. Section 6. Reduction and Reimbursement. The corporation's indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VII of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving, at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be reduced by any amounts such person receives as indemnification (i) under any policy of insurance purchased and maintained on his or her behalf by the corporation, (ii) from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) under any other applicable indemnification provision. In the event the corporation makes an indemnification payment under this Article VII and the person receiving such payment is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance or by such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, such person shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the corporation to the extent of such reimbursement. Section 7. Advance of Expenses. In the event that the corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 5, any expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article VII. Any advance under this Section 4 shall be made promptly, and in any event within ninety days, upon the written request of the person seeking the advance. Section 8. Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as presently in effect or hereafter amended), the certificate of incorporation of the corporation or these by-laws. Section 9. Consolidation or Merger. In the discretion of the Board of Directors of the corporation, for the purposes of this Article VII, references to "the corporation" may also include any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its Directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a Director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a Director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, would stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with 14

respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such other constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Section 10. Non-Exclusive; Savings Clause. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other Sections of this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person, whether or not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VII, may be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Each person who is or becomes a Director or officer as described in Section 1 shall be deemed to have served or to have continued to serve in such capacity in reliance upon the indemnity provided for in this Article VII. All rights to indemnification under this Article VII shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the corporation and the person who serves as a Director or officer of the corporation at any time while these by-laws and other relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and other applicable law, if any, are in effect. Any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing. Section 11. Inurement. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Section 12. Definitional Matters. For purposes of this Article VII, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service by a Director or officer of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such person with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this Article VII. ARTICLE VIII Capital Stock Section l. Stock Certificates. Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate or certificates representing in the aggregate the share owned by him or her and certifying the number and class thereof, which shall be in such form as this Board shall adopt. Each certificate of stock shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Vice President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before the certificate is issued, such 15

certificate may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he of she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. Section 2. Transfer of Stock. Shares of stock shall be transferable on the books of the corporation pursuant to applicable law and such rules and regulations as the Board of Directors shall from time to time prescribe. Section 3. Holders of Record. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer the corporation may treat the holder of record of a share of its stock as the complete owner thereof exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise entitled to all the rights and powers of a complete owner thereof, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Section 4. Transfer Agent and Registrar. The Board of Directors may at any time appoint a transfer agent or agents and/or registrar or registrars for the transfer and/or registration of shares of stock. Section 5. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Stock Certificates. The Board of Directors may direct a new stock certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to (a) advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or (b) give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated and/or (c) comply with any other reasonable requirements prescribed by the Board. ARTICLE IX Securities of Other Corporations Subject to any limitations that may be imposed by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the President or any person or persons authorized by the Board may in the name and on behalf of the corporation (i) act, or appoint any other person or persons (with or without powers of substitution) to act in the name and on behalf of the corporation (as proxy or otherwise), at any meeting of the holders of stock or other securities of any corporation or other organization, securities of which shall be held by this corporation, or (ii) express consent or dissent, as a holder of such securities, to corporate or other action by such other corporation or organization. 16

Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the capital stock. Section 2. Reserves. Before payment of any dividend there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, thinks proper as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purpose as the Directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. ARTICLE XII Corporate Seal The corporate seal shall be in such form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe and the same may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced. ARTICLE XIII Fiscal Year The fiscal year of the corporation shall end on the last Saturday of December of each year. ARTICLE XIV Books and Records The books, accounts and records of the corporation, except as may be otherwise required by the laws of the State of Delaware, may be kept outside of the State of Delaware, at such place or places as the Board of Directors may from time to time appoint. Except as may otherwise be provided by law, the Board of Directors shall determine whether and to what extent the books, accounts, records and documents of the corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any book, 17

account, record or document of the corporation, except as conferred by law or by resolution of the stockholders or Board of Directors. ARTICLE XV Notices Section l. Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of law, the certificate of incorporation, or these by-laws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed given: (a) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (ii) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and (d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of these by-laws, "electronic transmission" means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process Section 2. Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required, the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws or as otherwise provided by law, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, Directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission. 18

ARTICLE XVI Severability If any term or provision of the by-laws, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance or period of time, shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the by-laws, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances or periods of time other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and each term and provision of the by-laws shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. All restrictions, limitations, requirements and other provisions of these by-laws shall be construed, insofar as possible, as supplemental and additional to all provisions of law applicable to the subject matter thereof and shall be fully complied with in addition to the said provisions of law unless such compliance shall be contrary to law. ARTICLE XVII Amendments The Board of Directors and the stockholders shall each have the power to adopt, alter, amend and repeal these by-laws, and any by-laws adopted by the Directors or the stockholders under the powers conferred hereby may be altered, amended or repealed by the Directors or by the stockholders; provided, however, that these by-laws shall not be altered, amended or repealed by action of the stockholders, and no by-law shall be adopted by action of the stockholders, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the voting power of all the shares of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors, voting together as a single class. 19

Following the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product, Pharmacia will pay, on a calendar quarterly basis, without offset or deduction except as set forth in Section 1.11, a royalty in the amounts set forth below on Net Sales of the Licensed Product during the previous quarter. 4.2.1 ROYALTY CALCULATION; MINIMUMS. In consideration of the licenses granted to Pharmacia, Pharmacia shall pay to Nabi a royalty at the rates set forth on Exhibit D of the Net Sales of the Licensed Products sold by Pharmacia, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (a) subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2, for each of the [***] periods beginning three months after Pharmacia, its Affiliates and/or its or their sublicensees shall have received its first Final Market Approval for a Licensed Product in [***] (the "[***] Period"), Pharmacia shall pay to Nabi royalties of at least [***] PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the product previously identified by Pharmacia and Nabi has achieved worldwide sales measured in U.S. dollars of at least [***] for a [***] Period, then for each subsequent [***] Period Pharmacia's minimum royalty obligation under this (a) shall be reduced to [***]; (b) subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2, in addition to the minimum royalty obligation set forth in (a) above, for each of the [***] periods beginning three months after Pharmacia, its Affiliates and/or its or their sublicensees shall have received its first Final Market Approval for a Licensed Product in [***] (the "[***] Period"), Pharmacia shall pay to Nabi further royalties of at least [***] PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the product previously identified by Pharmacia and Nabi has achieved worldwide sales measured in U.S. dollars of at least [***] for a [***] Period, then for each subsequent [***] Period Pharmacia's minimum royalty obligation under this (b) shall be reduced to [***]; (c) upon expiration of each of the [***] periods set forth in (a) and (b) above, Pharmacia shall continue to make annual minimum royalty payments to Nabi in amounts to be agreed upon by Pharmacia and Nabi acting in good faith; (d) notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, in the event the market share of a product competitive with a Licensed Product that is offered and sold by a third party is [***] or greater (i) in [***] the minimum royalty set forth in (a) above shall be renegotiated in good faith and (ii) in [***] the minimum royalty set forth in (b) above shall be renegotiated in good faith; (e) notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, Pharmacia shall have no obligation to make minimum royalty payments in the event Nabi elects not to take action against an alleged infringer of the Patent Rights in the Field or any action taken by Nabi against 7

the alleged infringer is unsuccessful and in either such event sales of Licensed Products are materially and adversely affected by sales of the alleged infringing product; and (f) notwithstanding the provisions of (a) and (b) above, in the event sales of Licensed Products are materially and adversely affected during the [***] periods set forth in (a) and (b) above, despite Pharmacia's best documented diligent efforts, because regulatory, technical or supply limitations limit production and sales, Nabi shall in good faith agree to appropriately reduce the minimum royalty payment for [***], as appropriate, for the period in question. 4.2.2 ROYALTY PAYMENT REPORTS, EXCHANGE RATES. During the term of this Agreement following the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product, Pharmacia shall within forty five (45) days after each calendar quarter pay to Nabi the royalties due under the Agreement for such quarter and furnish to Nabi a written quarterly report showing: (i) the gross sales of the Licensed Products sold by Pharmacia, its Affiliates, and its sublicensees during the reporting period and the calculation of Net Sales from such gross sales; (ii) the royalty due thereon; (iii) withholding taxes, if any, required by law to be deducted in respect of such royalties; and (iv) the exchange rates used in determining the amount of United States dollars. All sales in currencies other than United States dollars shall be converted into United States dollars calculated at the exchange rate published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL on the last day of the calendar quarter. If no royalty is due for any royalty period hereunder, Pharmacia shall so report. Pharmacia shall keep complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to properly reflect all gross sales and Net Sales and to enable the royalties payable hereunder to be determined. Any royalty payment for the fourth quarter of a [***] Period or [***] Period shall include an amount sufficient to satisfy the minimum royalty obligation under Section 4.2.1. 4.2.3 AUDITS. Upon the written request and ample advance notice (30 days) of Nabi, Pharmacia shall permit an internal auditor or independent public accountant selected by Nabi and acceptable to Pharmacia which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to have access during normal business hours to such records of Pharmacia as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the royalty reports described herein, in respect of any calendar year ending not more than thirty-six (36) months prior to the date of such request. All such verifications shall be conducted at Nabi's expense and not more than once in each calendar year. In the event such Nabi representative concludes, providing sufficient evidence that additional royalties were owed to Nabi during such period, the additional royalty shall be paid by Pharmacia within thirty (30) days of the date Nabi delivers to Pharmacia such representative's written report so concluding. The fees charged by such representative shall be paid by Nabi unless the audit discloses that the royalties payable by Pharmacia for the audited period are underpaid by more than [***], in which case Pharmacia shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such representative and a further amount equal to the amount of the additional royalty. Any overpay will be refundable or credited against future royalties. Pharmacia shall include in each Third Party sublicense granted by it pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring the sublicensee to make reports to Pharmacia, to keep and maintain records of sales made pursuant to such 8

sublicense and to grant access to such records by Nabi's representatives to the same extent required of Pharmacia under this Agreement. Nabi agrees that all information subject to review under this Section 4.2.3 or under any sublicense agreement is confidential and that Nabi shall cause its representatives to retain all such information in confidence. 4.2.4 FOREIGN ROYALTIES. If royalties are due Nabi hereunder for sales of Licensed Products in a country in which, by reason of currency regulations or taxes of any kind, it is impossible or illegal for Pharmacia, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees to transfer royalty payments to Nabi for Net Sales in that country, such royalties shall be deposited in whatever currency is allowable by the person or entity not able to make the transfer for the benefit or credit of Nabi in an accredited bank in that country that is acceptable to Nabi. 4.2.5 INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENTS. Any payments by Pharmacia to Nabi that are not paid on or before the fifth business day after the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at the lower of (a) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and (b) two (2) percentage points above the prime rate of interest reported from time to time by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, calculated on the number of days payment is delinquent. ARTICLE 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 5.1 FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF PATENT RIGHTS. 5.1.1 PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE. Nabi shall be responsible at its expense for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of the Patent Rights in its own name, keeping Pharmacia informed. 5.1.2 ABANDONMENT; FAILURE TO PAY. Nabi agrees that it will not abandon the prosecution of any patent applications included within the Patent Rights nor shall it fail to make any payment or fail to take any other action necessary to maintain a patent under the Patent Rights unless it has notified Pharmacia in sufficient time for Pharmacia to assume such prosecution or make such payment. If Nabi elects not to continue to seek or maintain patent protection on any patent or patent application included in the Patent Rights and subject to any prior rights Nabi may hereafter grant to Third Parties, [***]. Nabi will advise Pharmacia of all decisions taken with respect to any such election in a timely manner in order to allow Pharmacia to protect its rights under this Section 5.1.2. 5.1.3 COOPERATION. Each party shall make available to the other party (or to the other party's authorized attorneys, agents or representatives), its employees, agents or consultants to the extent reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the appropriate party to file, prosecute and maintain patent applications and resulting patents as set forth in this Section 5.1 for periods of time reasonably sufficient for such party to obtain the assistance it needs from such personnel. Where appropriate, each party shall sign or cause to have signed all documents relating to said patent applications or patents at no charge to the other party. 5.2 INFRINGEMENT BY OTHERS. 5.2.1 PROSECUTION BY NABI. Nabi and Pharmacia shall each promptly notify the other in writing of any alleged or threatened infringement of patents or patent applications included in the Patent Rights in the Field 9

licensed hereunder to Pharmacia of which they become aware, and the parties shall consult concerning the action to be taken. Nabi shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute at its own expense any such infringement. Any recovery or damages derived from such action shall belong to Nabi. 5.2.2 PROSECUTION BY PHARMACIA. If, within thirty (30) days or shorter as may be necessary to protect Pharmacia's right to seek immediate injunctive relief, after Nabi first becomes aware of any infringement of the Patent Rights in the Field, Nabi declines to prosecute such infringement or fails to cause such infringement to terminate or to bring or diligently prosecute a suit or action to compel termination, if Nabi so elects in writing, Pharmacia shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring such suit or action to compel termination at the sole expense of Pharmacia. In such event, Pharmacia shall have the right, if Nabi is a legally indispensable party, to bring such suit or action in the name of Nabi. Nabi shall have the right to join any such suit or action brought by Pharmacia at Nabi's expense. Any recovery or damages derived from such action shall first be used to reimburse the parties for all legal expenses relating to the suit and thereafter shall [***]. No settlement, consent, judgment or other voluntary final disposition of the suit may be entered into without the consent of Nabi, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. 5.3 DECLARATORY ACTIONS. In the event that a declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or non-infringement of any of the Patent Rights shall be brought against Pharmacia, Pharmacia shall notify Nabi in writing, and the parties shall consult concerning the action to be taken. Nabi, at its sole option, shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after commencement of such action, to intervene, take over and duly prosecute the sole defense of the action at its own expense. Pharmacia shall have no obligation to defend any such action, but Pharmacia shall have the right, at its own expense, to join in the defense of any such suit or action. 5.4 INFRINGEMENT ACTION AGAINST PHARMACIA. In the event that a suit or action is brought against Pharmacia alleging infringement of any third-party patent right as a result of the exercise of Pharmacia's rights under Section 2.1, Pharmacia shall have the exclusive right to defend such suit or action at its sole expense. Nabi will confer with and assist Pharmacia, at Nabi's expense, in the conduct or settlement of such defense. Nabi shall have the right to be represented in such suit or action by advisory counsel at its expense. Pharmacia shall not have the right to settle any such suit or action without the prior written consent of Nabi if as a result of such settlement Nabi would be obligated to make any payment, assume any obligation, part with any property or interest therein, be subject to any injunction or order, grant any license or other right under the Patent Rights, or acknowledge the invalidity of any of the Patent Rights. Any recovery or damages obtained by Pharmacia in relation to any counterclaim or the like filed by Pharmacia in such suit shall be applied first in satisfaction of any expenses and legal fees of Pharmacia relating to the suit. Any recovery or damages still remaining shall [***]. 5.5 COOPERATION. In any infringement suit either party may institute to enforce or defend the Patent Rights or in which either party defends claims of infringement of third-party patents pursuant to this Agreement or in any declaratory judgment action defended by a party, the other party shall, at the 10

request of the party initiating or defending such suit, cooperate at its expense in all respects and, to the extent possible, have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant records, papers, information, samples and the like. Pharmacia's cooperation in any suit initiated by Nabi shall be at Nabi's expense. Nabi's cooperation in any suit initiated by Pharmacia shall be at Pharmacia's expense. 5.6 IMPROVEMENTS. Pharmacia hereby grants to Nabi a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license, including the right to sublicense, to all Improvements directly related to Nabi Technology for all purposes. If Pharmacia, its Affiliates and/or its and their sublicensees develop or acquire Improvements not directly related to Nabi Technology, such Improvements shall be promptly disclosed to Nabi in reasonable detail and [***]. In the event this Agreement is terminated other than by Pharmacia pursuant to Section 9.2.1, [***]. 5.7 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT. Pharmacia shall have the right to test vaccines using Nabi Technology and Patent Rights in staphylococcal disease in [***] to attempt to demonstrate successful proof of concept in [***]. If Pharmacia has successfully demonstrated proof of concept in [***] and decides to move forward, Pharmacia shall pay to Nabi the sum of [***] and Pharmacia and Nabi shall in good faith negotiate the terms of an exclusive licensing agreement substantially similar to this Agreement for the field of prevention and treatment of S. AUREUS infections in [***]. In such event, the milestone events and all payments and the royalty rates shall be based upon then-prevailing market rates and terms. 5.8 OTHER TECHNOLOGY. (a) In the event that subsequent to the Effective Date, Nabi develops or acquires (with the right to sublicense) new technology which has application in the field of veterinary medicine, subject to the provisions of Section 5.8(b) Nabi shall offer to negotiate in good faith with Pharmacia rights to such technology in such field. If the parties are unable to reach agreement in principle on terms within sixty (60) days after Nabi has made the offer and to execute and deliver definitive agreements within ninety (90) days after Nabi has made the offer, Nabi shall be free thereafter to take whatever action it determines with respect to such technology with no further obligation to Pharmacia. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.8(a), in the event that subsequent to the Effective Date, Nabi develops or acquires (with the right to sublicense) new technology which is specific to the treatment, control or prevention of S. AUREUS infections in dairy cattle and proposes to transfer such technology to a Third Party, Nabi shall notify Pharmacia in writing and set forth in reasonable detail the nature of such technology and the principal terms of such proposed transfer. Such offer shall constitute an offer to transfer such technology on such terms to Pharmacia. Pharmacia shall have the right to accept such offer within sixty (60) days after Nabi has made the offer. If such offer has not been accepted by Pharmacia in writing within sixty (60) days after Nabi has made such offer or definitive agreements with respect to such offer have not been executed and delivered within ninety (90) days after Nabi has made such offer, Nabi shall be free to transfer the new technology to the Third Party on terms no less favorable to Nabi than those offered to Pharmacia.

The obligation not to disclose Information shall not apply to any part of such Information that: (i) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by unauthorized acts of the party obligated not to disclose such Information or its Affiliates or sublicensees; (ii) can be shown by written documents to have been disclosed to the receiving party or its Affiliates or sublicensees by a Third Party, provided such Information was not obtained by such Third Party directly or indirectly from the other party under this Agreement pursuant to a confidentiality agreement; (iii) prior to disclosure under this Agreement, was already in the possession of the receiving party or its Affiliates or sublicensees, provided such Information was not obtained directly or indirectly from the other party under this Agreement pursuant to a confidentiality agreement; (iv) can be shown by written documents to have been independently developed by the receiving party or its Affiliates without breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement; or (v) is disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand issued by a court or governmental agency or as otherwise required by law, provided that the receiving party notifies the other party immediately upon receipt thereof and provided further that the disclosing party furnishes only that portion of the Information which it is advised by counsel is legally required. 6.2 TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. Except as provided in Section 10.7 hereof, Nabi and Pharmacia each agree not to disclose any terms or conditions of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior consent of the other party, except as required by applicable law or pursuant to a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than this Article 6. If either party determines that it is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental agency this Agreement for any reason, such party shall request confidential treatment of such portions of this Agreement, as it and the other party shall together determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to execution of this Agreement, Nabi and Pharmacia shall agree upon the substance of information that can be used as a routine reference in the usual course of business to describe the terms of this transaction, and Nabi and Pharmacia may disclose such information, as modified by mutual agreement from time to time, without the other party's consent. 12

Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to the granting of injunctive relief by a court of competent jurisdiction against any action that constitutes any such breach of this Article 6, without any requirement to post a bond.

IN NO EVENT WILL NABI BE LIABLE TO PHARMACIA OR ANY OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OR THEORY OF ACTION (WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION STRICT LIABILITY AND NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER EXTRAORDINARY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHTS GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE USE OF PATENT RIGHTS OR NABI TECHNOLOGY, OR THE MANUFACTURE, SALE OR USE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS UNLESS THE DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY NABI'S WILLFUL AND MALICIOUS MISCONDUCT 7.2.3 FURTHER LIMITATIONS.

The indemnity agreement in this Article 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Article 8. The Indemnitee and its employees and agents shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification. In the event that an Indemnitee claims indemnity from the Indemnitor and the Indemnitor is finally 15

Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent's Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent's receipt of the proceeds of such Advances (or the Term Loan, as applicable), upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3 hereof, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof 31

If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender's Advance on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make an Advance on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date. (iii) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender's benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender's Advance was funded by the other members of the Lender Group) or, if so directed by Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default had occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender's Advance was not funded by the Lender Group), retain same to be re-advanced to Borrower as if such Defaulting Lender had made Advances to Borrower. Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" and such Lender's Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender's default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Advance and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment 32

of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups' or Borrower's rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. (d) MAKING OF SWING LOANS. (i) In the event Agent shall elect, with the consent of Swing Lender, as a Lender, to have the terms of this SECTION 2.3(D) apply to a requested Borrowing as described in SECTION 2.3(B), Swing Lender as a Lender shall make such Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely by Swing Lender as a Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.3(D) being referred to as a "Swing Loan" and such Advances being referred to collectively as "Swing Loans") available to Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to Borrower's Designated Account. Each Swing Loan is an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that no such Swing Loan shall be eligible for the LIBOR Option and all payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender as a Lender solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Swing Loan). Subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.3(I), Agent shall not request Swing Lender as a Lender to make, and Swing Lender as a Lender shall not make, any Swing Loan if Agent has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions 33

precedent set forth in SECTION 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Lender as a Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3 have been satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making, in its sole discretion, any Swing Loan. (ii) The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent's Liens, shall constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. (e) AGENT ADVANCES. (i) Agent hereby is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent's sole discretion, (1) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (2) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 3 have not been satisfied, to make Advances to Borrower on behalf of the Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations), or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Group Expenses and the costs, fees, and expenses described in SECTION 10 (any of the Advances described in this SECTION 2.3(E) shall be referred to as "Agent Advances"). Each Agent Advance is an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Advances, except that no such Agent Advance shall be eligible for the LIBOR Option and all payments thereon shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account (and for the account of the holder of any participation interest with respect to such Agent Advance). (ii) The Agent Advances shall be repayable by Borrower on demand and secured by Agent's Liens granted to Agent under the Loan Documents, shall constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. (f) SETTLEMENT. It is agreed that each Lender's funded portion of the Advances is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: (i) Agent shall request settlement ("Settlement") with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent, (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swing Loan, (2) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (3) with respect to Collections received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the "Settlement Date"). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, 34

and Agent Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including SECTION 2.3(C)(III)): (y) if a Lender's balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances exceeds such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Lender as such Lender may designate, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances, and (z) if a Lender's balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent's Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances. Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Swing Loan or Agent Advance representing Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate. (ii) In determining whether a Lender's balance of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Agent Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest and fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral. To the extent that a net amount is owed to any such Lender after such application, such net amount shall be distributed by Agent to that Lender as part of such next Settlement. (iii) Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous sentence, Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to 35

the Advances other than Swing Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable. (g) NOTATION. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Advances owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Lender, and Agent Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time. In addition, each Lender is authorized, at such Lender's option, to note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender's Advances in its books and records, including computer records, such books and records constituting conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the accuracy of the information contained therein. (h) LENDERS' FAILURE TO PERFORM. All Advances (other than Swing Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. (i) OPTIONAL OVERADVANCES. Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, and Agent or Swing Lender, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans) to Borrower notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Advances (including a Swing Loan), the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than $3,500,000, (ii) after giving effect to such Advances (including a Swing Loan), the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, and (iii) at the time of the making of any such Advance (including any Swing Loan), Agent does not believe, in good faith, that the Overadvance created by such Advance will be outstanding for more than 90 days. The foregoing provisions are for the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Lender, and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrower in any way. The Advances and Swing Loans, as applicable, that are made pursuant to this SECTION 2.3(I) shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as any other Advance or Swing Loan, as applicable, except that they shall not be eligible for the LIBOR Option and the rate of interest applicable thereto shall be the rate applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans under SECTION 2.6(C) hereof without regard to the presence or absence of a Default or Event of Default. (i) In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Revolver Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the preceding paragraph, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would 36

result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value), and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrower intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Advances to Borrower to an amount permitted by the preceding paragraph. In the event Agent or any Lender disagrees over the terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. (ii) Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in SECTION 2.3(F) for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this SECTION 2.3(I), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. 2.4 PAYMENTS. (a) PAYMENTS BY BORROWER. (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to Agent's Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. (b) APPORTIONMENT AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. (i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent's separate account, after giving effect to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably 37

among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee relates. Except as otherwise specifically provided in SECTION 2.4(C) below, all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments (other than payments received while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and which either (i) relate (or are designated by Borrower to be applied) to the payment of principal of or interest on specific Obligations or (ii) relate (or are designated by Borrower to be applied) to the payment of specific fees), and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be applied as follows: (A) FIRST, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, (B) SECOND, to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full, (C) THIRD, to pay any fees then due to Agent (for its separate accounts, pursuant to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents until paid in full, (D) FOURTH, to pay any fees then due to any or all of the Lenders (pursuant to any letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) under the Loan Documents, on a ratable basis, until paid in full, (E) FIFTH, to pay interest due in respect of all Agent Advances, until paid in full, (F) SIXTH, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Advances (other than Agent Advances), the Swing Loans, and the Term Loan until paid in full, (G) SEVENTH, to pay the principal of all Agent Advances until paid in full, (H) EIGHTH, ratably to pay all principal amounts then due and payable (other than as a result of an acceleration thereof) with respect to the Term Loan until paid in full, (I) NINTH, to pay the principal of all Swing Loans until paid in full, (J) TENTH, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and at Agent's election (which election Agent agrees will not be made if an Overadvance would be created thereby) to pay amounts then due and owing by Borrower or its Subsidiaries in respect of Bank Products, until paid in full, 38

(K) ELEVENTH, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, (L) TWELFTH, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, ratably (i) to pay the principal of all Advances until paid in full, and (ii) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the benefit of Wells Fargo or its Affiliates, as applicable, as cash collateral in an amount up to the amount of the Bank Products Reserve established prior to the occurrence of, and not in contemplation of, the subject Event of Default until Borrower's and its Subsidiaries' obligations in respect of the then extant Bank Products have been paid in full or the cash collateral amount has been exhausted, (M) THIRTEENTH, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (in the inverse order of the maturity of the installments due thereunder) until the Term Loan is paid in full, (N) FOURTEENTH, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Lender and those Lenders having a Revolver Commitment, as cash collateral in an amount up to 102% of the then extant Letter of Credit Usage until paid in full, (O) FIFTEENTH, to pay any other Obligations (including Bank Product Obligations) until paid in full, and (P) SIXTEENTH, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law. (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in SECTION 2.3(F). (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, SECTION 2.4(B)(I) shall not be deemed to apply to any payment by Borrower specified by Borrower to be for the payment of principal of or interest or fees on specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement. (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, "paid in full" means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding. (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this SECTION 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that 39

such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this SECTION 2.4 shall control and govern. (c) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. (i) If on any day the sum of the Revolver Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent an amount equal to such excess to be applied to the outstanding principal of the Advances. (ii) If on any day the Revolver Commitment is terminated, Borrower shall immediately repay the Term Loan. (iii) If at any time the Fixed Asset Coverage Ratio is less than 0.50 to 1.0, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent an amount equal to such excess, to be applied to the principal installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. Agent shall have the right to have the Eligible Equipment and the Eligible Real Property Collateral reappraised by a qualified appraisal company selected by Agent in its Permitted Discretion from time to time after the Closing Date for the purposes of the definition of "Term Loan Amount" and this SECTION 2.4(C)(III), provided that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, appraisals of the Eligible Equipment shall not be conducted more frequently than once each calendar year and appraisals of the Eligible Real Property Collateral shall not be conducted more frequently than once each calendar year. (iv) Immediately upon any sale or disposition by Borrower of property or assets (other than a Permitted Disposition described in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of the definition of such term) or the receipt by Borrower of the proceeds of any insurance policy with respect to Inventory, Equipment or Real Property or condemnation awards with respect to Inventory, Equipment or Real Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and the Advances in accordance with SECTION 2.4(D) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds or the insurance or condemnation proceeds received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions or such casualty or condemnation event to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds or proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards received by Borrower (and not paid to Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loan and the Advances) for all such sales or dispositions shall exceed, since the Closing Date, (A) $500,000 in the case of Net Cash Proceeds of sales or dispositions and (B) $1,000,000 in the case of proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards (other than sales or dispositions of Inventory, Equipment or Real Property or insurance proceeds or condemnation awards with respect to Inventory, Equipment or Real Property as to which, except as otherwise provided in SECTION 6.7(B), no minimum amount will apply), PROVIDED, that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, proceeds from any insurance policy or condemnation award with respect to either of the facilities located in Boca Raton, Florida shall not be required to be so applied to the extent that such proceeds are used to replace, repair or restore the applicable facility located in Boca Raton, Florida if (i) the amount of proceeds received in respect of such insurance policy or condemnation award is less than $2,000,000, (ii) Borrower delivers a certificate to Agent within 30 days after the date of such loss, 40

destruction or taking stating that such proceeds shall be used to replace, repair or restore the applicable facility located in Boca Raton, Florida within a period specified in such certificate not to exceed 180 days after the receipt of such proceeds (which certificate shall set forth estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) and (iii) such proceeds are deposited in a DDA subject to a Control Agreement. If all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to the prepayment of the Term Loan and Advances in accordance with this SUBCLAUSE (IV) are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within such 180 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied to the Term Loan and Advances in accordance with this SUBCLAUSE (IV) on the last day of such specified period. Borrower shall not be obligated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to replace, repair or restore the applicable facility located in Boca Raton, Florida to the extent, but only to the extent, that the proceeds received in respect of any insurance policy or condemnation award are applied to the Term Loan or the Advances. Nothing contained in this SUBCLAUSE (IV) shall permit Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of any property or assets other than in accordance with SECTION 7.4. (v) Upon the receipt by Borrower of any Extraordinary Receipts during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Term Loan and the Advances in accordance with Section 2.4(d) below in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts.

(d) APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. (ii) Each prepayment pursuant to SUBCLAUSE (C)(IV) above shall be applied as follows: (1) if the proceeds are from any sale or disposition of any Accounts or Inventory or any insurance policy or condemnation award with respect to Inventory, such proceeds shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount 41

of the Advances until paid in full, and second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan until paid in full; (2) subject to CLAUSE (3) below, if the proceeds are from the sale or disposition of any other assets or any insurance policy or condemnation award not described in CLAUSE (1) above, such proceeds shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, until paid in full, and second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances, until paid in full. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity; and (3) if the proceeds are from a sale or disposition of assets or any insurance, which sale or disposition includes, or proceeds of insurance relate to, Accounts, Inventory and other assets, such proceeds shall be applied as follows: (x) an amount equal to the Advances actually supported by such assets determined using the effective advance rate under the Borrowing Base against such Accounts, Inventory and (determined at the time of such sale or disposition or event resulting in such insurance proceeds), shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances and (y) the remaining proceeds shall be applied, first, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan until paid in full, and second, to the outstanding principal amount of the Advances until paid in full. Each such prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. 2.5 OVERADVANCES. If, at any time or for any reason, the amount of Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) owed by Borrower to the Lender Group pursuant to SECTIONS 2.1 AND 2.12 is greater than either the Dollar or percentage limitations set forth in SECTIONS 2.1 OR 2.12 (an "Overadvance"), Borrower immediately shall pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in SECTION 2.4(B). In addition, Borrower hereby promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in Dollars in full to the Lender Group as and when due and payable under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 2.6 INTEREST RATES AND LETTER OF CREDIT FEE: RATES, PAYMENTS, AND CALCULATIONS. (a) INTEREST RATES. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Advance that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Revolver Margin, (ii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Term 42

Loan Margin, (iii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Term Loan Margin, and (iv) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. (b) LETTER OF CREDIT FEE. Borrower shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders with a Revolver Commitment, subject to any letter agreement between Agent and individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and costs set forth in SECTION 2.12(E)) which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable LIBOR Rate Revolver Margin TIMES the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. (c) DEFAULT RATE. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of Agent or the Required Lenders), (i) all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and (ii) the Letter of Credit fee provided for above shall be increased to 2 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder. (d) PAYMENT. Interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month (or, in the case of fees, such other date on which such fees are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter) at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to, and Agent agrees that it will, charge such interest and fees, all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), the charges, commissions, fees, and costs provided for in SECTION 2.12(E) (as and when accrued or incurred), the fees and costs provided for in SECTION 2.11 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including the installments due and payable with respect to the Term Loan and including any amounts due and payable to Wells Fargo or its Affiliates in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the then extant Bank Products Reserve) to Borrower's Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to Borrower's Loan Account and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans hereunder. (e) COMPUTATION. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. 43

(f) INTENT TO LIMIT CHARGES TO MAXIMUM LAWFUL RATE. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, IPSO FACTO, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 2.7 CASH MANAGEMENT. (a) Borrower shall (i) establish and maintain cash management services of a type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on SCHEDULE 2.7(A) (each, a "Cash Management Bank"), and shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all of its Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by them directly to such Cash Management Bank, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all Collections (including those sent directly by Account Debtors to a Cash Management Bank) into a bank account in Agent's name (a "Cash Management Account") at one of the Cash Management Banks. (b) Each Cash Management Bank shall establish and maintain Cash Management Agreements with Agent and Borrower, in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Each such Cash Management Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (i) all items of payment deposited in such Cash Management Account and proceeds thereof are held by such Cash Management Bank as agent or bailee-in-possession for Agent, (ii) the Cash Management Bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Cash Management Account other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Cash Management Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, (iii) from and after receipt of a notice (an "Activation Notice") from Agent (which Activation Notice may be given by Agent at any time (A) Borrower's Excess Availability is less than $15,000,000 or (B) an Event of Default has occurred), the Cash Management Bank shall immediately forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Cash Management Account to the Agent's Account, and (iv) prior to the receipt by such Cash Management Bank of an Activation Notice, all amounts in such Cash Management Account may be transferred to and used by Borrower in the ordinary course of business. From and after the date Agent has delivered an Activation Notice to any Cash Management Bank with respect to any Cash Management Account(s), Borrower shall not accumulate or maintain cash in disbursement or payroll accounts as of any date of determination in excess of checks outstanding against such accounts as of that date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements. (c) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may amend SCHEDULE 2.7(A) to add or replace a Cash Management Bank or Cash Management Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of such Cash 44

Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, Borrower and such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent a Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall close any of its Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within 30 days of notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management Accounts or Agent's liability under any Cash Management Agreement with such Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Agent's reasonable judgment. (d) The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which Borrower is hereby deemed to have granted a Lien to Agent. 2.8 CREDITING PAYMENTS; FLOAT CHARGE. The receipt of any payment item by Agent (whether from transfers to Agent by the Cash Management Banks pursuant to the Cash Management Agreements or otherwise) shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to the Agent's Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent's Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time). If any payment item is received into the Agent's Account on a non-Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (California time) on a Business Day, it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. From and after the Closing Date, Agent shall be entitled to charge Borrower for one Business Day of 'clearance' or 'float' at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under SECTION 2.6 on all Collections that are received by Borrower (regardless of whether forwarded by the Cash Management Banks to Agent), provided that such 'clearance' or 'float' charge shall be applied without duplication with respect to Collections that are received by Borrower the proceeds of which are deposited in multiple accounts of the Loan Parties. This across-the-board one Business Day clearance or float charge on all Collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of the financing of Borrower and shall apply irrespective of whether or not there are any outstanding monetary Obligations; the effect of such clearance or float charge being the equivalent of charging one Business Day of interest on such Collections. The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic benefit of the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.8 shall be for the exclusive benefit of Agent. 2.9 DESIGNATED ACCOUNT. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term Loan, and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based upon written instructions (which may be by telecopy) received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person, or without 45

instructions if pursuant to SECTION 2.6(D). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Advances requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Advance, Agent Advance, or Swing Loan requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account. 2.10 MAINTENANCE OF LOAN ACCOUNT; STATEMENTS OF OBLIGATIONS. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the "Loan Account") on which Borrower will be charged with the Term Loan, all Advances (including Agent Advances and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Lender, or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower's account, the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender for Borrower's account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with SECTION 2.8, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower's account, including all amounts received in the Agent's Account from any Cash Management Bank. Agent shall render written statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after receipt of such statements by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements. 2.11 FEES. Borrower shall pay to Agent the following fees and charges, which fees and charges shall be non-refundable when paid (irrespective of whether this Agreement is terminated thereafter) and shall be apportioned among the Lenders in accordance with the terms of letter agreements between Agent and individual Lenders: (a) UNUSED LINE FEE. On the first day of each month during the term of this Agreement, an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.50% per annum TIMES the result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, LESS (ii) the sum of (A) the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding month, PLUS (B) the average Daily Balance of the Letter of Credit Usage during the immediately preceding month, (b) FEE LETTER FEES. As and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, Borrower shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, and (c) AUDIT, APPRAISAL, AND VALUATION CHARGES. For the separate account of Agent, audit, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as follows (i) a fee of $950 per day, per auditor, plus actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each financial audit of Borrower performed by personnel employed by Agent, plus a charge of $950 per day plus actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by personnel employed by Agent to establish electronic collateral reporting systems, if such systems are implemented, (ii) actual costs of each appraiser, including reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, for each appraisal of the Collateral performed by personnel employed by Agent, and (iii) the actual charges paid or incurred by Agent if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons, selected by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, to perform financial audits of Borrower, to appraise the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or to assess Borrower's business valuation, provided that (x) Lender 46

intends to perform financial audits not less than quarterly and (y) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for more than one appraisal of the Equipment each calendar year, more than two appraisals of the Inventory each calendar year, and more than one appraisal of the Real Property each calendar year. 2.12 LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, an "L/C") or to purchase participations or execute indemnities or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an "L/C Undertaking") with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer is to be Wells Fargo) for the account of Borrower. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking), Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Agent at the address set forth in SECTION 12 hereof (reasonably, but in any event not more than five (5) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or the beneficiary of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender, Borrower also shall be an applicant under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit: (i) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Borrowing Base LESS the amount of outstanding Advances, or (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $10,000,000, or (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount LESS the then extant amount of outstanding Advances. Borrower and the Lender Group acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrower immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later 47

than 12:00 p.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if Borrower shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 p.m., California time, on the Business Day that Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans under SECTION 2.6. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrower's obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to SECTION 2.12(C) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interest may appear. (b) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to SECTION 2.12(A), each Lender with a Revolver Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrower had requested such Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders with Revolver Commitment, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender with a Revolver Commitment, and each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender with a Revolver Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (a) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to this SECTION 2.12(B) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in SECTION 3 hereof. If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full. (c) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Lender Group arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing 48

Lender or any other member of the Lender Group, or (ii) the breach by a Lender of its payment obligations under this Agreement as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer's regulations and reasonable interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender's reasonable interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for Borrower's account, even though this interpretation may be different from Borrower's own, and Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender Group shall not be liable for any error made in good faith, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower's instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrower against such Underlying Issuer. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Lender Group under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Lender Group's indemnification of any Underlying Issuer for such claims by Borrower; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall not be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the Lender Group. (d) Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender's instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application. (e) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and immediately upon notice to Borrower shall be reimbursable by Borrower to Agent (or without notice to Borrower charged to the Loan Account) for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals. (f) If by reason of (i) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): (i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or 49

(ii) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Lender Group any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto, and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Lender Group of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Lender Group, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower, and Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as Agent may specify in good faith to be necessary to compensate the Lender Group for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto. 2.13 LIBOR OPTION. (a) INTEREST AND INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option (the "LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances or the Term Loan be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof elect to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of three months. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances or the Term Loan bear interest at the LIBOR Rate and Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. (b) LIBOR ELECTION. (i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 2 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances or the Term Loan and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day. Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment. 50

(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, "Funding Losses"). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert, or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), MINUS (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, on Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (iii) Borrower shall have not more than ten LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrower only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $250,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. (c) PREPAYMENTS. Borrower may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Collections in accordance with SECTION 2.4(B) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above. (d) SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LIBOR RATE. (i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except 51

changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under clause (b)(ii) above). (ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. (e) NO REQUIREMENT OF MATCHED FUNDING. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans. 2.14 CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. If, after the date hereof, any Lender reasonably 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 such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request, or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), the effect of reducing the return on such Lender's or such holding company's capital as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such holding company's then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity's capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender's calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and 52

correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 3.

In the event that any Collateral, including proceeds, is evidenced by or consists of Negotiable Collateral, and if and to the extent that perfection or priority of Agent's security interest is dependent on or enhanced by possession, Borrower, promptly upon the written request of Agent, shall endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral to Agent. 4.3 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS, GENERAL INTANGIBLES, AND NEGOTIABLE COLLATERAL.

9. THE LENDER GROUP'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. 9.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by Borrower: (a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default arising under SECTION 8.4, SECTION 8.5(A) or SECTION 8.5(C) in respect of Borrower, all Obligations evidenced by this Agreement or by any other Loan Documents shall automatically become due and payable and the obligation of each Lender to advance money or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the Lender Group shall automatically terminate, in each case without the need for any act of Agent or any Lender); (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrower and the Lender Group; (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group, but without affecting any of Agent's Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; (d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts and upon terms which Agent considers advisable, and in such cases, Agent will credit Borrower's Loan Account with only the net amounts received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all Lender Group Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith; (e) Cause Borrower to hold all returned Inventory in trust for the Lender Group, segregate all returned Inventory from all other assets of Borrower or in Borrower's possession and conspicuously label said returned Inventory as the property of the Lender Group; (f) Without notice to or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do such acts as Agent considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interests in the Collateral. Borrower agrees to assemble the Personal Property Collateral if Agent so requires, and to make the Personal Property Collateral available to Agent at a place that Agent may designate which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Borrower authorizes Agent to enter the premises where the Personal Property Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Personal Property Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien that in Agent's determination appears to conflict with Agent's Liens and to pay all expenses incurred in connection 82

therewith and to charge Borrower's Loan Account therefor. With respect to any of Borrower's owned or leased premises, Borrower hereby grants Agent a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, in order to exercise any of the Lender Group's rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise; (g) Without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by the Lender Group (including any amounts received in the Cash Management Accounts), or (ii) Indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by the Lender Group; (h) Hold, as cash collateral, any and all balances and deposits of Borrower held by the Lender Group, and any amounts received in the Cash Management Accounts, to secure the full and final repayment of all of the Obligations; (i) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Personal Property Collateral in accordance with all applicable laws. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Personal Property Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Personal Property Collateral and Borrower's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Lender Group's benefit; (j) Sell the Personal Property Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower's premises) as Agent determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Personal Property Collateral be present at any such sale; (k) Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Personal Property Collateral as follows: (i) Agent shall give Borrower a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the Personal Property Collateral, the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; and (ii) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in SECTION 12, at least 10 days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Personal Property Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market; (l) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and (m) Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or to operate 83

same and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may seek the appointment of such a receiver without the requirement of prior notice or a hearing; (n) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, may foreclose any or all of the Mortgages and sell the Real Property or cause the Real Property to be sold in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgages and applicable law, and exercise any and all other rights or remedies available to Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, under the Mortgages, any of the other Loan Documents, at law or in equity with respect to the Collateral encumbered by the Mortgages; (o) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document; and (p) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Personal Property Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower. Any excess will promptly be returned, without interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Agent to Borrower. 9.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. 10. TAXES AND EXPENSES. If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons which are not the subject of a Permitted Protest or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole and reasonable discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof, (b) set up such reserves in Borrower's Loan Account as Agent deems necessary to protect the Lender Group from the exposure created by such failure, or (c) in the case of the failure to comply with SECTION 6.7 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in SECTION 6.7 and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing. Agent shall provide Borrower with written notice of payments made by Agent on behalf of Borrower promptly after such payments are made by Agent. 84

11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION. 11.1 DEMAND; PROTEST; ETC. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Borrower may in any way be liable. 11.2 THE LENDER GROUP'S LIABILITY FOR COLLATERAL. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower. 11.3 INDEMNIFICATION. (a) GENERAL. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons with respect to each Lender, each Participant, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an "Indemnified Person") harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this SECTION 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrower was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrower with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. (b) ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNITY. Without limiting Section 11.3(a) hereof, Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees 85

and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of (i) any releases or threatened releases of any Hazardous Materials (x) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or any predecessor in interest, or (y) generated and disposed of by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or any predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or any predecessor in interest; (iv) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or any predecessor in interest; and (v) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by Borrower in SECTION 5.14 or the breach of any covenant made by Borrower in SECTION 6.14. 12.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (5) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (d) Immediately upon each Assignee's making its processing fee payment under the Assignment and Acceptance and receipt and acknowledgment by Agent of such fully executed Assignment and Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender PRO TANTO. (e) Any Lender may at any time, with the written consent of Agent, sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of such Lender (a "Participant") participating interests in its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the "Originating Lender") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (provided that no written consent of Agent shall be required in connection with any sale of any such participating interests by a Lender to an Eligible Transferee); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the 89

Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a "Lender" hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or a material portion of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, or (F) subordinate Agent's Liens to the Liens of any other creditor of Borrower, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the Collections, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. The provisions of this SECTION 14.4(E) are solely for the benefit of the Lender Group, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of such provisions. (f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower or Borrower's business. (g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR ss.203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 14.2 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders' prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void AB INITIO. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and 90

the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to SECTION 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to SECTION 14.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 15.1 AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders affected thereby and Borrower, do any of the following: (a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender, (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (d) change the percentage of the Commitments that is required to take any action hereunder, (e) amend, modify or waive this Section or any provision of the Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders, (f) release Collateral other than as permitted by SECTION 16.12, (g) change the definition of "Required Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share", (h) contractually subordinate any of Agent's Liens, (i) release Borrower from any obligation for the payment of money, or (j) change, modify or waive the definition of Borrowing Base or the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Eligible Real Property Collateral, Eligible Equipment, Maximum Revolver Amount, Net Liquidation Percentage, Term Loan Amount, or change, modify or waive SECTION 2.1(B), or SECTION 2.4(B), or (k) amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of SECTION 16, 91

and, PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable, affect the rights or duties of Agent, Issuing Lender, or Swing Lender, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of Borrower. 15.2 REPLACEMENT OF HOLDOUT LENDER. (a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender ("Holdout Lender") fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a "Replacement Lender"), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. (b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of SECTION 14.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender's Pro Rata Share of Advances and to purchase a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit. 15.3 NO WAIVERS; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent's and each Lender's rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent's and each Lender's rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have. 92

16. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 16.1 APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF AGENT. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Foothill as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this SECTION 16. The provisions of this SECTION 16 are solely for the benefit of Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word "Agent" is for convenience only, that Foothill is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 16.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 93

16.3 LIABILITY OF AGENT. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the Books or properties of Borrower or the books or records or properties of any of Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 16.4 RELIANCE BY AGENT. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 16.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders, except with respect to Defaults and Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to SECTION 16.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with SECTION 9; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that unless and until Agent has received any such 94

request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 16.6 CREDIT DECISION. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. 16.7 COSTS AND EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, costs of collection by outside collection agencies and auctioneer fees and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from Collections received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from Collections received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross negligence or willful 95

misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender's ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 16.8 AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Foothill and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, lending, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents as though Foothill were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Foothill or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Foothill in its individual capacity. 16.9 SUCCESSOR AGENT. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent, which successor Agent shall be a then current Lender or an Eligible Transferee. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this SECTION 16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 45 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 16.10 LENDER IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person (other than the Lender 96

Group) party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person (other than the Lender Group) party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender not shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to the Swing Loans and Agent Advances, Swing Lender shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the sub-agent of Agent. 16.11 WITHHOLDING TAXES. (a) If any Lender is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning of the IRC and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the IRC, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower: (i) if such Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (a) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a "bank" as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; (ii) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN before the first payment of any interest under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; (iii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the first payment of any interest is due under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; (iv) such other form or forms as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax. Such Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 97

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender's IRS Form W-8BEN as no longer valid. (c) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this Section are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. (d) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent. (e) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense, except as required by applicable law other than for Taxes (as defined below). All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction (other than the United States) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than of the United States) with respect to such payments (but excluding, any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (i) measured by or based on the net income or net profits of a Lender, or (ii) to the extent that such tax results from a change in the circumstances of the Lender, including a change in the residence, place of organization, or principal place of business of the Lender, or a change in the branch or lending office of the Lender participating in the transactions set forth herein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as "Taxes"). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any note, including any amount paid pursuant to this SECTION 16.11(E) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to Agent or any Lender (i) that is not 98

organized under the laws of the United States, if such Person fails to comply with the other requirements of this SECTION 16.11, or (ii) if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent's or such Lender's own willful misconduct or gross negligence. Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower. 16.12 COLLATERAL MATTERS. (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under SECTION 7.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which Borrower owned no interest at the time the security interest was granted or at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrower under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or any material portion of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders.

The Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on the business in which it is now engaged and to own and use the properties now owned and used by it. For purposes of this Agreement, "Seller Material Adverse Effect" means any change, effect or circumstance that, individually or in the aggregate (unless otherwise noted), (a) is materially adverse to the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Product Line Operations (other than changes, effects or circumstances that are the result of economic factors affecting the economy as a whole or that are the result of factors generally affecting the industry or specific markets in which the Product Line Operations compete which factors do not substantially disproportionately affect the Product Line Operations ), or (b) materially impairs the ability of the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that a "Seller Material Adverse Effect" shall not include any adverse change, effect or circumstance (i) arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions by the Seller as contemplated by or pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) arising out of or resulting from acts or omissions of the Buyer, including without limitation acts or omissions contemplated by or pursuant to this Agreement, or (iii) that is attributable to the announcement or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 3.2 AUTHORITY.

The execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller and no other further authorization or consent of the Seller or its board of directors, lenders or stockholders will be necessary. This Agreement has been, and such Ancillary Agreements will be, duly executed and delivered by the Seller and, assuming this Agreement and each such Ancillary Agreement constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Buyer, this Agreement constitutes, and each such Ancillary Agreement will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its respective terms. 18

(a) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to or arising out of a third-party claim against an Indemnified Party shall be made in accordance with the following procedures. (i) A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (an "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third-party claim (a "Third Party Claim") for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim by a third party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party promptly or at all shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent of actual prejudice caused by such failure. Such notification shall include a description in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) of the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount of the Damages claimed. Within 37

twenty-five (25) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party may not assume the defense of any Third Party claim for equitable or other non-monetary relief that would materially affect the ongoing operations of the Product Line Operations. (ii) The Party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; PROVIDED that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered "Damages" for the purposes of this Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties, The Party controlling such defense shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto. (iii) The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of any Third Party Claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. (b) PROCEDURE FOR OTHER CLAIMS. An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article VII which is not subject to Section 7.3(a) shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (a "Claim Notice") which contains (i) a description and the amount (the "Claimed Amount") of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article VII and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within twenty-five (25) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (I) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer), (II) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the "Agreed Amount") (in which case such response shall be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer ), or (III) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed 38

Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.18. 7.4 SURVIVAL. (a) The representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Certificate and the Buyer Certificate shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the date 18 months after the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire PROVIDED, HOWEVER, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.11 and 3.17 shall survive for sixty (60) days beyond the applicable statute of limitations, (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.5 shall survive the Closing and continue until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.8 shall survive the Closing and continue until the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date and (iv) the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.14 and of the Buyer contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.8 and 4.9 shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby without limitation. (b) If an indemnification claim under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.2(a) is properly asserted in writing pursuant to Section 7.3 prior to the expiration as provided in Section 7.4(a) of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim. 7.5 LIMITATIONS. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following limitations shall apply to indemnification claims under this Agreement: (i) no individual claim (or series of related claims) for indemnification under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.2(a) shall be valid and assertable unless it is (or they are) for an amount in excess of [***]; (ii) the Seller shall be liable with respect to claims under Section 7.1(a) only if the aggregate Damages related to such claims (excluding any claims disallowed under Section 7.5(a)(i)), when considered together, exceeds [***] and only for that portion of the aggregate Damages related to such claims (excluding any claims disallowed under Section 7.5(a)(i)), which, when considered together, exceeds [***]; (iii) the aggregate liability of the Seller for all Damages under Section 7.1(a) (other than Damages in respect of a breach of Section 3.8) shall not exceed [***]; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such Damages, when considered together with all Damages in respect of a breach of Section 3.8, shall not exceed [***]; (iv) the aggregate liability of the Seller for all Damages in respect of a breach of Section 3.8, when considered together with all of the Damages under Section 7.1(a), shall not exceed [***]; 39

(v) the Buyer shall be liable with respect to claims under Section 7.2(a) only if the aggregate Damages related to such claims (excluding any claims disallowed under Section 7.5(a)(i)), when considered together, exceeds [***] and only for that portion of the aggregate Damages related to such claims (excluding any claims disallowed under Section 7.5(a)(i)), which, when considered together, exceeds [***]; and (vi) the aggregate liability of the Buyer for all Damages under Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed [***]. (b) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages in respect of a breach of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.14 and 3.17 hereof and under Sections 7.1(b), 7.1(c), 7.1(d) and 7.1(e) hereof irrespective of the limitations set forth above in Sections 7.5(a)(i), 7.5(a)(ii), 7.5(a)(iii) and 7.5(a)(iv) (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for Damages in respect of a breach of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.8 and 4.9 hereof and under Sections 7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d) hereof irrespective the limitations set forth above in Sections 7.5(a)(i), 7.5(a)(v) and 7.5(a)(vi). (c) No right to indemnification under this Article VII shall be limited by reason of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing of any Party hereto or the knowledge of such Party of any breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant by the other Party at any time, or the decision by such Party to complete the Closing. (d) Except with respect to Third Party Claims, for which this Section 7.5(d) shall not apply, in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be responsible or liable for any Damages or other amounts under this Article VII that exceed in the aggregate [***] and that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in the value of property, special or punitive or otherwise not actual damages. Each Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Damages for which indemnification is provided to it under this Article VII. (e) The amount of Damages recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this Article VI with respect to an indemnity claim shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any payment received by such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof), with respect to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates, from an insurance carrier, and (ii) the amount of any Tax benefit realized or realizable by such Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) which is attributable to the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates. For purposes of this Section 7.5(e), the Tax benefit realized or realizable by any Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate thereof) shall be determined as of the date of the receipt of payment from the Indemnifying Party by calculating the present value of all expected reductions in Tax payments attributable to any expected deductions or decreases in income associated with the Damages to which such indemnity claim relates (net of any increase in Tax payments that may result from the receipt of the indemnification payment), assuming that the Indemnified Party is always subject to a total combined Tax rate of 40% and using a discount rate equal to the prime rate of interest reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL at the time such indemnification payment is made. An Indemnified Party shall use 40

reasonable commercial efforts to pursue, and to cause its Affiliates to pursue, all Tax benefits to which it may be entitled in connection with any Damages it incurs, and the Parties shall cooperate with each other in pursuing insurance claims with respect to any Damages or any indemnification obligations with respect to Damages. If an Indemnified Party (or an Affiliate) receives any insurance payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already received an indemnification payment from the Indemnifying Party, it shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, within 30 days of receiving such insurance payment, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the amount previously received by the Indemnified Party under this Article VII with respect to such claim plus the amount of the insurance payments received, over (B) the amount of Damages with respect to such claim which the Indemnified Party has become entitled to receive under this Article VII. (f) Except with respect to claims for fraud or for equitable relief, including specific performance, made with respect to breaches of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates with respect to claims covered by Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any Party, its successors or permitted assigns be entitled to claim or seek rescission of the transactions consummated by this Agreement. 7.6 TREATMENT OF INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the purchase price to the maximum extent allowable under applicable law. 7.7 CONSTRUCTION. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant, as the case may be. 7.8 INTEREST. Any amounts not paid when due under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) the rate equal to the prime lending rate as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL on the date such amount was due, plus 3% per annum and (ii) the highest rate permitted by law. 41

(a) Following the Closing, except as otherwise provided herein, the Buyer shall have no rights to use any trademarks, trade names, logos or any contraction, abbreviation or simulation of the Seller (the "Retained Marks") and will not hold itself out as having any affiliations with the Seller. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a), (i) for a period of [***] days after the Closing Date, the Buyer may utilize sales promotional aids, literature and other printed material of the Product Line Operations, provided such material clearly and prominently displays the following statement or a statement of similar 45

import, the form of which shall be approved by the Seller: "[the Buyer product name], formerly a product of Braintree Laboratories, Inc." Promptly following the Closing Date, the Buyer will implement a plan to eliminate the use of all such material within such [***] period; and (ii) the Buyer may disclose to its customers and potential customers that it is conducting the Product Line Operations as a successor to the Seller from and after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer may not use the Retained Marks or the Seller's packaging and labeling, and may not reference the Seller's NDC numbers, on the Finished Goods Inventory or on any Phos-Lo Products sold to the Buyer pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement. (c) The royalty-free licenses to use the Retained Marks set forth in this Section 9.3 shall not prohibit the Seller or any of its Affiliates from using the Retained Marks (or any similar name or logo) during the term of the respective license or thereafter in any manner. The Buyer agrees that its use of the Retained Marks shall be consistent with the past practices of the Seller in connection with the Seller's business and operations and, with respect to such use, the Buyer shall adhere to substantially similar quality standards to which the Seller adhered immediately prior to the Closing. 9.4 COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The Buyer agrees that it shall forward promptly to the Seller any monies, checks or instruments received by the Buyer after the Closing with respect to any accounts receivable included as an Excluded Asset pursuant to this Agreement.

If, at any time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer sells, licenses or otherwise disposes of the Phos-Lo product line, or a substantial portion thereof, [***] in one transaction or a series of transactions, then (i) the Buyer shall promptly provide written notice of such sale, license or disposition to the Seller following the closing of such sale, license or disposition (such notice being accompanied by the sale, license or disposition agreement) and (ii) [***]. 9.6 COVENANT NOT TO HIRE. Until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, neither Party will solicit or hire employees of the other Party without the other Party's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party is prevented from employing, or attempting to employ any employee of the other party who approaches such party on an unsolicited basis concerning employment or who responds to a solicitation or advertisement for employment which is made to the general public. 46

9.7 REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER OF THE SHARES; LEGEND. (a) The Shares shall not be sold or transferred unless either (i) they first shall have been registered under the Securities Act, or (ii) the Buyer first shall have been furnished with an opinion of legal counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, to the effect that such sale or transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no registration or opinion of counsel shall be required for (i) a transfer by the Seller to a stockholder of the Seller, PROVIDED that the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Section 9.7 to the same extent as if it were the Seller hereunder, or (ii) a transfer made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. (c) LEGEND. Each certificate representing the Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form: "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred, pledged or hypothecated unless and until such shares are registered under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the issuer is obtained to the effect that such registration is not required." The foregoing legend shall be removed from the certificates representing the Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, at such time as they become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. (d) The Seller shall provide to the Buyer promptly upon request by the Buyer such information regarding the Seller, the Shares and the intended method of disposition of such Shares as shall be required to effect the registration of the Shares or to comply with applicable state securities laws. (e) (i) The aggregate amount of Shares sold for the account of the Seller in each of the [***] periods following the Closing (each, a "Selling Period") shall not exceed the percentage listed below (the "Selling Percentage") of the aggregate volume of trading in the Buyer Common Stock reported through Nasdaq during the preceding [***] period. SELLING PERIODS SELLING PERCENTAGE 1 [***] 2 [***] 3 [***] 4 [***] Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Seller is unable to sell any Shares during a Selling Period because the Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC or as a result of the operation of Section 9.8(b)(i), then [***]. 47

(ii) From time to time, during the [***] period ending on [***], the Seller shall be permitted hereunder to sell Shares; provided, however, that the Seller shall only be permitted to sell hereunder that number of Shares which, when added to the number of Shares sold by the Seller during the preceding [***] (excluding, for this purpose, sales of Shares in the [***] Selling Period referenced in clause (i) above), does not exceed the greatest of [***]. (iii) This Section 9.7(e) shall terminate and be of no force or effect with respect to, and from and after, a Change in Control. For this purpose, "Change in Control" means (A) a merger or consolidation in which the Buyer or a subsidiary of the Buyer is a constituent party, except any such merger or consolidation involving the Buyer or a subsidiary of the Buyer in which (I) the holders of capital stock of the Buyer immediately before such merger or consolidation own immediately following such merger or consolidation more than 50% by voting power of the capital stock of or ownership interest in (1) the surviving or resulting entity or (2) if the surviving or resulting entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of another entity immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity, and (II) the ownership of such holders of capital stock immediately before such merger or consolidation is in substantially the same proportion as the ownership by such holders immediately following such merger or consolidation; or (B) the sale, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (x) by the Buyer of all or substantially all the assets of the Buyer (except where such sale is to a wholly owned subsidiary) or (y) by the stockholders of the Buyer of more than 50% by voting power of the then-outstanding capital stock of the Buyer. (iv) Each of the numbers and percentages set forth in this Section 9.7, as well as the total number of Shares to be issued to the Seller as the Closing Stock Payment, shall be subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events affecting the Buyer Common Stock). 9.8 REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (a) REGISTRATION OF SHARES. The Buyer shall file with the SEC, within fifteen (15) days following the Closing, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale to the public by the Seller of the Shares (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented, the "Registration Statement"). The Buyer shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. The Buyer shall, as expeditiously as possible, prepare and file with the SEC any amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (including the anti-fraud provision thereof) and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective until the second anniversary of the Closing Date or such earlier time as all of the Shares covered by the Registration Statement have been sold. (b) LIMITATIONS ON REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (i) The Buyer may, by written notice to the Seller, (A) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (B) suspend the Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Seller immediately cease sales of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in the event that the Buyer is engaged in any activity or transaction or preparations or negotiations for any activity or transaction that the Buyer desires to keep confidential for business reasons, if the Buyer determines in good faith that the public disclosure requirements imposed on the Buyer under 48

the Securities Act in connection with the Registration Statement would require disclosure of such activity, transaction, preparations or negotiations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer may not delay the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for more than 60 days in any 12-month period. (ii) If the Buyer delays or suspends the Registration Statement or requires the Seller to cease sales of the Shares pursuant to clause (i) above, the Buyer shall, as promptly as practicable following the termination of the circumstance which entitled the Buyer to do so, take such actions as may be necessary to file the Registration Statement, have the Registration Statement declared effective, reinstate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and/or give written notice to the Seller authorizing it to resume sales pursuant to the Registration Statement. If, as a result thereof, the prospectus included in the Registration Statement has been amended to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall enclose such revised prospectus with the notice to the Seller given pursuant to this clause (ii), and the Seller shall make no offers or sales of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement other than by means of such revised prospectus. (c) REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. (i) In connection with the filing by the Buyer of the Registration Statement, the Buyer shall: (A) as expeditiously as possible, furnish to the Seller such reasonable number of copies of the prospectus, including any preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Shares; (B) as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to register or qualify the Shares covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such states as the Seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or desirable to enable the Seller to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such states of the Shares; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer shall not be required in connection with this clause (ii) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; (C) notify the Seller promptly after it shall receive notice thereof of the time when such Registration Statement has become effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; and 49

(D) as expeditiously as possible following the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, notify the Seller of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus. (ii) If the Buyer has delivered preliminary or final prospectuses to the Seller and, after having done so, the prospectus is amended or supplemented to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Buyer shall promptly notify the Seller and, if requested by the Buyer, the Seller shall immediately cease making offers or sales of the Shares under the Registration Statement and return all prospectuses to the Buyer. The Buyer shall promptly provide the Seller with revised or supplemented prospectuses and, following receipt of the revised or supplemented prospectuses, the Seller shall be free to resume making offers and sales under the Registration Statement. (iii) The Buyer shall pay the expenses incurred by it in complying with its obligations under this Section 9.8, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and expenses of counsel for the Buyer, and fees and expenses of accountants for the Buyer, but excluding (A) any selling commission or underwriting discounts incurred by the Seller in connection with sales under the Registration Statement and (B) the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Seller. (iv) The Seller shall promptly provide to the Buyer any information about the Seller that the Buyer reasonably requests in connection with the Registration Statement. (d) INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (i) In the event of any registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each underwriter of the Shares, and each other person, if any, who controls the Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the Shares were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (C) any violation or alleged violation by the Buyer of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the Registration Statement or the offering contemplated thereby; and the Buyer will reimburse the Seller, underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller, underwriter or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer will not be liable in any such case to the 50

extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Buyer, in writing, by or on behalf of the Seller, underwriter or controlling person specifically for use in the preparation thereof. (ii) In the event of any registration of any of the Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any) and each person, if any, who controls the Buyer or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Buyer, such directors and officers, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, state securities or Blue Sky laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or (B) any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if and to the extent (and only to the extent) that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to the Seller furnished in writing to the Buyer by the Seller specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the obligations hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to the Seller of the Shares sold in connection with such registration. (iii) A Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 9.8 (a "Registration Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the "Registration Indemnifying Party") after such Registration Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claims as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Registration Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; PROVIDED, that counsel for the Registration Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Registration Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and, PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the failure of any Registration Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Registration Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 9.8(d) except to the extent that the Registration Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by such failure. The Registration Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party's expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Registration Indemnifying Party shall pay such expense if the Registration Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that representation of such Registration Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Registration Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Registration Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding; PROVIDED FURTHER that in no event shall the Registration Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm per jurisdiction as counsel for the Registration Indemnified Party. The Registration Indemnifying Party also shall be responsible for the expenses of such defense if the Registration Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such defense. No Registration Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of 51

each Registration Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Registration Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation, and no Registration Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation with the prior written consent of the Registration Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (iv) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.8(d) is due in accordance with its terms but for any reason is held to be unavailable to a Registration Indemnified Party in respect to any losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to herein, then the Registration Indemnifying Party shall in lieu of indemnifying such Registration Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Registration Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Buyer on the one and hand the Seller on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Buyer and the Seller shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact related to information supplied by the Buyer or the Seller and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Buyer and the Seller agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9.8(d)(iv) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.8(d)(iv), (A) in no case shall the Seller be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by the Seller from the offering of the Shares and (B) in such event the Buyer shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentations (within the meanings of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentations. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this Section 9.8(d)(iv), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission so to notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve such party from any other obligation it or they may have thereunder or otherwise under this Section 9.8(d)(iv). No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. (e) RULE 144. The Buyer agrees to: (i) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to make and keep current public information about the Buyer available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; 52

(ii) use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Buyer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (iii) furnish the Seller upon request (A) a written statement by the Buyer as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Buyer, and (C) such other reports and documents of the Buyer as may reasonably request to avail itself of any similar rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration. (f) ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS. The Seller may not assign any of its rights under this Section 9.8 except in connection with the transfer of some or all of the Shares to its stockholders, PROVIDED that each such transferee agrees in a written instrument delivered to the Buyer to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.8. (g) COOPERATION. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Buyer to take any action pursuant to this Section 9.8 that the Seller or any permitted assignee shall furnish to the Buyer all such information and materials and shall take all action as may be reasonably required in order to permit the Buyer to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the SEC. 9.9 REBATE CHARGES; WHOLESALER CHARGES; DISCOUNTS. The Buyer shall promptly forward to the Seller any invoice or other communication that it receives that covers or relates to any Rebate Charges, Wholesaler Charges or Discounts. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Seller and provide to the Seller such information as may be reasonably requested by the Seller in order for the Seller to evaluate, calculate and determine claims made for Rebate Charges, Wholesaler Charges and Discounts. 9.10 [***]. ARTICLE X- MISCELLANEOUS 10.1 PRESS RELEASES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer will issue a press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement, substantially in the form agreed by the Parties. No Party shall issue (and each Party shall cause its Affiliates not to issue) any other press release or public disclosure relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party or Parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any Party may issue any press release or make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by law, regulation or stock exchange rule (in which case the disclosing Party shall promptly advise the other Party and the other Party shall, if practicable, have the right to review and comment on such press release or public disclosure prior to its issuance or publication). 53
