RECITALS:

WHEREAS Borrower (other than nLayer) and BIA DIGITAL PARTNERS SBIC II LP (in its capacity as a purchaser, in such capacity, the “Original Purchaser”) previously entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Existing Note Purchase Agreement”) dated as of June 6, 2011.

AND WHEREAS pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of April, 30, 2012 by and among nLayer, each of its shareholders party thereto, and GTTA, as buyer, and GTTI, as guarantor, GTTA has agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of nLayer (the “nLayer Acquisition”).

AND WHEREAS Borrower has requested that the Original Purchaser and the other Purchasers party hereto amend and restate the Existing Note Purchase Agreement to, among other things, (i) partially finance the nLayer Acquisition and other growth or working capital initiatives, and (ii) add nLayer as a Borrower hereunder, in each case by adding additional Purchasers who will extend additional credit to Borrower and the other Loan Parties, as provided herein, and the Agent and Purchasers are willing amend and restate Existing Note Purchase Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

AND WHEREAS the parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the terms and provisions of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement in their entirety on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Notes.

(a) Original Notes; Commitment to Purchase Additional Notes. The Borrower sold to the Original Purchaser, and the Original Purchaser purchased from the Borrower, in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrower and the other Note Parties under the Existing Note Purchase Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, notes in the original principal amount set forth after such Original Purchaser’s name under the heading “Original Notes” contained on Schedule 2.1.5 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes remain in full force and effect as of the Restatement Date and are hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects. On the Restatement Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Original Purchaser an amended and restated note reflecting the outstanding principal amount of the Original Notes on the Restatement Date (the “Amended and Restated Note”). Subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees (severally and not jointly) to purchase from Borrower, and Borrower agrees to sell to each Purchaser, Notes (the “Additional Notes” and together with the Original Notes, the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amounts set forth next to such Purchaser’s name under the heading “Additional Notes” contained on Schedule 2.1.5 (the “Commitment Amount”). The Commitment Amount shall be reduced by the amount of any Additional Notes funded in accordance with this Agreement, and on the Commitment Termination Date the Commitment Amount shall automatically be reduced to zero.

(b) Take Down Procedures for Additional Notes.

(i) The initial purchase and sale of Additional Notes hereunder (the “Initial Additional Takedown”) shall occur on the Restatement Date and the Notes to be purchased and sold on the Initial Additional Takedown shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $6,000,000.

(ii) At any time on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrower may, subject to the terms hereof, sell additional Notes to those Purchasers with a commitment to purchase Additional Notes hereunder in aggregate principal amounts (together with all other Additional Notes) up to the Commitment Amount, by giving Agent and such Purchaser notice not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such proposed purchase and sale (each, an “Additional Takedown”), of (x) the principal amount of the Note to be purchased and sold at such Additional Takedown (which amount shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be in increments of $1,000,000 for any Additional Takedown), and (y) the date of such Additional Takedown. In the case of any Additional Takedown used to finance a Permitted Acquisition, such notice will also describe, in reasonable detail satisfactory to Agent and such Purchaser, the Permitted Acquisition or acquisitions to be financed with the proceeds of such Additional Takedown, including, without limitation, (A) the amount and types of consideration proposed to be paid, (B) the proposed sources of financing therefor and (C) a reasonably detailed description of the business or businesses to be acquired.

(iii) If the SVB Syndication has not occurred on the date that is ninety (90) days following the Restatement Date then, at the option of Plexus in its sole discretion, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3 (unless waived by the Required Purchasers in their sole discretion), Borrower shall issue and Plexus shall purchase Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining Commitment Amount (if any) (an “Automatic Takedown” and, collectively with the Initial Additional Takedown and any Additional Takedowns, the “Takedowns”). Any failure by the Borrower to consummate such Automatic Takedown (to the extent required by Plexus) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

(iv) On the Restatement Date and on the Closing Date for each Takedown, Borrower will deliver to each Purchaser purchasing Additional Notes at such Takedown a single Note, dated the applicable Closing Date and registered in each such Purchaser’s name, in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Note being purchased and sold to such Purchaser in connection with the applicable Takedown, in consideration for delivery by each such Purchaser to Borrower of immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Borrower prior to such Closing Date of an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Note being purchased by each such Purchaser in connection with such Takedown. If on such Closing Date Borrower shall fail to tender such Notes as provided in this Section 2.1.5(b)(iv) or any of the conditions specified in Section 3 shall not have been fulfilled to each such Purchaser’s satisfaction, any such Purchaser shall, at

- 2 -

its election, be relieved of all further obligations hereunder with respect to the applicable Takedown, without thereby waiving any other rights it may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

(c) Mandatory Redemption at Maturity. The Notes shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder.

(d) Voluntary Redemptions. The Notes may be prepaid, in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of such prepayment is given to Agent and Purchasers, by payment of the principal amount of the Notes (or portion thereof in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of such amount) to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon through the date of such redemption, plus the Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding any such redemption, Agent’s and Purchasers’ lien and security interest in the Collateral shall continue until Borrower fully satisfies its Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations). Upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase additional Notes at Additional Takedowns have terminated, Agent and Purchasers shall terminate and release its liens and security interests in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. All payments (including prepayments) on account of the Notes shall be applied to all Notes on a pro rata basis.

(e) AHYDO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (1) the Notes remain outstanding after the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance thereof and (2) the aggregate amount of the accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income Tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of any Testing Date occurring after such fifth anniversary exceeds an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual, then all such accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income Tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of such time in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual shall be paid in cash by Borrower to the holders thereof on such Testing Date, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the deductibility of interest under the Notes shall not be limited or deferred by reason of Section 163(i) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. For these purposes, the “Maximum Accrual” is an amount equal to the product of such Notes’ issue price (as defined in U.S. Internal Revenue Code Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) and their yield to maturity, and a “Testing Date” is any Interest Payment Date and the date on which any “accrual period” (within the meaning of Section 1272(a)(5) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) closes. Any accrued interest which for any reason has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on a Note is made.

(f) OID. Borrower, Agent and each Purchaser agree (i) that the Notes are debt for federal income Tax purposes, (ii) that the Notes issued to each Purchaser constitute a single debt instrument for purposes of Sections 1271 through 1275 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(c)), that such debt instrument is issued with original issue discount (“OID”), and that such debt instrument is described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c)(2) and therefore is governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c), including Section 1.1272-1(c)(5), and is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (iii) that any calculation by Borrower regarding the amount of OID for any accrual period on the Notes shall be subject to the review and approval of each respective Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld, and (iv) to adhere to this Agreement for federal income Tax purposes and not to take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith (including with respect to the amount of OID on the Notes as determined in accordance with the preceding Section 2.1.5(f)(iii). The inclusion of this Section 2.1.5(f) is not an admission by any Purchaser that it is subject to United States Taxation. In connection with the purchase of the Original Notes, Original Purchaser received the Original Warrants. In the event the Original Notes and such Original Warrants are considered the issuance of an “investment unit” under Code Section 1273(c)(2), the parties previously agreed that the fair market value of the Original Warrants is $377,661 and $34,414, respectively, for purposes of investment unit allocation under Code Section 1273(c)(2). Borrower and Original Purchaser previously agreed to report in a manner that is consistent with this allocation for all Tax purposes and such agreement remains in full force and effect as of the Restatement Date. In connection with the purchase of the Additional Note at the Initial Additional Takedown, Plexus is receiving the Initial Plexus Warrant. In the event such Additional Note and the Initial Plexus Warrant are considered the issuance of an “investment unit” under Code Section 1273(c)(2), the parties agree that the fair market value of the Initial Plexus Warrants is $515,793 for purposes of investment unit allocation under Code Section 1273(c)(2). Borrower and Plexus agree to report in a manner that is consistent with this allocation for all Tax purposes. In connection with the purchase of Additional Notes at Additional Takedowns or Automatic Takedowns, if any, Plexus will receive Additional Warrants. In the

- 3 -

event such Additional Notes and the Additional Warrants are considered the issuance of an “investment unit” under Code Section 1273(c)(2), the parties agree, for purposes of investment unit allocation under Code Section 1273(c)(2), to calculate the fair market value of such Additional Warrants in the same manner as the Initial Plexus Warrant, which final calculation shall be mutually agreed upon by Plexus and Borrower. Borrower and Plexus agree to report in a manner that is consistent with such allocation for all Tax purposes.

2.2

Warrants.

(a) Original Warrants. Prior to the Restatement Date, GTTI sold to the Original Purchaser, and the Original Purchaser purchased from GTTI, in reliance on the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrower and the Original Purchaser contained in the Existing Note Purchase Agreement, the Original Warrants. The Original Warrants remain in full force and effect as of the Restatement Date.

(b) Additional Warrants.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Restatement Date (in connection with the Initial Additional Takedown), Plexus agrees to subscribe for and purchase from GTTI, and the GTTI agrees to issue to Plexus a warrant (the “Initial Plexus Warrant”) to purchase 535,135 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of GTTI at an exercise price equal to $2.208 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in therein).

(c) At any Additional Takedown or Automatic Takedown, Plexus agrees to subscribe for, and GTTI agrees to issue to Plexus an additional warrant (together with the Initial Plexus Warrant, each an “Additional Warrant” and collectively the “Additional Warrants”) to purchase the Applicable Number (as defined below) of shares of Common Stock of GTTI at an exercise price equal to the trailing 30-day average price per share prior to the applicable Closing Date (as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Additional Warrant). Each Additional Warrant shall be substantially in the form of the Initial Plexus Warrant (other than the exercise price and other adjustments satisfactory to Plexus). For purposes hereof, “Applicable Number” means an amount equal to the product of (x) 713,513, and (y) a fraction, (A) the numerator of which equals the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Note issued to Plexus at such Takedown, and (B) the denominator of which equals 8,000,000.

(d) Representations and Warranties regarding Additional Warrants. Plexus (in its capacity as a Purchaser of Additional Notes and each Additional Warrant) acknowledges, represents and warrants as follows:

(i) Each Additional Warrant and the capital stock issuable upon the exercise of each Additional Warrant are being acquired for Plexus’s account for investment only and not with a view towards, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale thereof, in whole or in part, or the grant of any participation therein by subdivision or otherwise.

(ii) Each Additional Warrant and the capital stock issuable upon exercise of each such Additional Warrant have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state or any other domestic or foreign jurisdiction and may not be offered for sale, sold, pledged, hypothecated, transferred, assigned or otherwise disposed of in the absence of (i) an effective registration for such transaction under the Securities Act or (ii) a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such transaction. In addition, Plexus acknowledges that the certificates evidencing the shares of such capital stock will contain a legend to this effect.

(iii) Plexus acknowledges that it may not be possible for it to liquidate its investment in any Additional Warrant or the capital stock issuable upon exercise of any Additional Warrant, and Plexus is prepared, therefore, to hold the same indefinitely.

(iv) Plexus is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act by virtue of the fact that it (i) is a limited partnership, (ii) was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring an Additional Warrant and the capital stock issuable upon exercise of any Additional Warrant and (iii) has total assets in excess of $5,000,000.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Notes.

(a) Interest Rate. The Obligations shall bear interest at a rate of thirteen and one half percent (13.5%) per annum, of which (i) at least eleven and one half percent (11.5%) per annum shall be payable in cash monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in each year (the “Cash Interest Portion”), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date following the Initial Closing Date and (ii) two percent (2.0%) per annum shall be, at Borrower’s option, paid in cash (upon not less than three (3) Business Days notice prior to such Interest Payment Date) or paid-in-kind (the “PIK Interest”); provided, however, during a Performance Pricing Period, the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%), with a Cash Interest Portion of at least eleven percent (11.0%) per annum payable in arrears on each Interest Payment date of each year. Any PIK Interest shall (x) be added to the principal amount of the Notes on each Interest Payment Date in each year or (y) at the request of any Purchaser, be paid by the issuance of additional Notes on any Interest Payment Date.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is four percentage points (4.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate” or “Default Interest”) unless Agent (as directed by Required Purchasers) otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Note Documents (including, without limitation, Costs and Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Default Interest shall be payable upon demand by Agent (as directed by Required Purchasers); provided it shall be paid in cash or at Borrower’s option, paid-in-kind. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent and any Purchaser.

(d) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the purchase of any Notes shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) Reserved.

(f) Payment; Interest Computation. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly in arrears on the last calendar day of each month (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”). In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Agent shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent in its good faith business judgment. All such payments of interest shall be made by way of automatic bank draft.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay the following fees:

(a) Processing Fee. On the Restatement Date and each Closing Date for any Additional Takedown or Automatic Takedown, a fully earned, non refundable processing fee equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Additional Notes being purchased and sold in connection with the applicable Takedown (each a “Processing Fee” and collectively, the “Processing Fees”) shall be paid by Borrower to each Purchaser purchasing Additional Notes at such Takedown or any designee of any such Purchaser, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to accounts designated by any such Purchaser or designee prior to such Closing Date; provided, however, that the Processing Fee payable to Plexus on the Restatement Date shall be reduced by the amount which has already been paid to Plexus as an initial deposit of such Processing Fee prior to the Restatement Date. Furthermore, any Processing Fee payable at any Additional Takedown or Automatic Takedown shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the sum of any Commitment Fees previously paid pursuant to the following Section 2.4(b). For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Processing Fee be less than zero; and

(b) Commitment Fee. On each Interest Payment Date prior to the Commitment Termination Date (including the Interest Payment Date occurring on the Commitment Termination Date), if applicable, a commitment fee (each a “Commitment Fee” and collectively, the “Commitment Fees”) shall be paid by Borrower

- 5 -

to any Purchaser with a commitment to purchase Additional Notes or any designee of any such Purchaser, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to accounts designated by such Purchaser or designee prior to such Interest Payment Date, in an equal to one percent (1.0%) per annum of the Unfunded Commitment Amount on such Interest Payment Date. For purposes hereof, “Unfunded Commitment Amount” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the sum of (i) the Commitment Amount, less (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Additional Notes purchased.

(d) Reserved.

(e) Costs and Expenses. All Costs and Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Initial Closing Date, when due.

2.5

Payments; Application of Payments.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Note Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. All such payments shall be made to each Purchaser in respect of the Notes held by such Purchasers by wire transfer to an account designated by each such Purchaser to Borrower from time to time. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Purchasers shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Notes on a pro rata basis.

2.6 Withholding.

(a) Payments received by Agent or any Purchaser from Borrower hereunder will be made free and clear and without reduction of any withholding Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes. Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, Applicable Laws, regulation or international agreement requires any Borrower to make any such withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Purchaser, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction (including withholding of deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent or any Purchaser, as applicable, receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required and Borrower shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Borrower will furnish Purchaser with proof satisfactory to Agent and each Purchaser indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.

(b) To the extent it is legally permitted to do so, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement one or more (as Borrower may reasonably request) properly completed and executed IRS Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption or reduction from withholding or deduction of Taxes. Each Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower on or prior to the date any prior form previously provided under this Section 2.6(b) becomes obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) or from time to time if requested by Borrower. In the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from Tax on portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, the documentation to be provided by such Foreign Lender to Borrower under this Section 2.6(b) shall include (x) a certificate in to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section

- 6 -

881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, and (y) a properly executed and completed IRS Form W-8BEN. Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 to enable Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to or indemnify Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 to the extent that the obligation to pay Taxes or additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of Agent or such Lender to comply with this paragraph. The agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2.7 Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Purchaser within 10 days after demand therefore, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent or such Purchaser and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Agent or any Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.8 Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.6 or 2.7 above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.9 Tax Refunds. If Agent or any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.6, it shall promptly pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by one or more Borrower under Section 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 or 2.9, as applicable), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or any Purchaser, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, in the event Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Agent or any Purchaser to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to alter its internal practices or procedures with respect to the administration of Taxes.

CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each US Borrower (including nLayer) hereby grants Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each US Borrower (including nLayer) represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens (including Liens securing the Senior Debt) that may have superior priority to Agent’s Lien under this Agreement). If a US Borrower (including nLayer) shall acquire a commercial tort claim, such US Borrower (including nLayer) shall promptly notify Agent in a writing signed by such US Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

If this Agreement is terminated, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase Notes has terminated, Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each US Borrower (including nLayer) hereby authorizes Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Agent’s and each Purchaser’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral except as set forth in this Agreement, by either such US Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Agent under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Agent’s discretion.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization; Authorization; Power and Authority. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization in its jurisdiction of formation and each is qualified and licensed to do business and each is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of each of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business, taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”). In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Agent completed certificates each signed by Borrower and Guarantor, respectively, entitled “Perfection Certificate”. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Initial Closing Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes

- 10 -

one, Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of such occurrence and provide Agent with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Note Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect and further subject to), or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Collateral. Borrower has good title to each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Senior Lender, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Agent in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Agent notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Agent a perfected security interest therein (subject to the Required Foreign Filings). The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral in excess of One Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($130,000) in the aggregate to a bailee, then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Agent and such bailee must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own except for (a) non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business, (b) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (c) material Intellectual Property licensed to Borrower and noted on the Perfection Certificate. Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is to the knowledge of Borrower, valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business, taken as a whole, has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. To Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License.

5.3 Intentionally omitted.

5.4 Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Agent fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.

5.6 Solvency. Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts as they mature).

- 11 -

5.7 Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act or, in the case of EMEA, with all employment legislation in force in England and Wales (including, without limitation, the Employment Rights Act 1996). Borrower has complied in all material respects with all Securities Laws. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted, except where the failure to obtain or make such consents, declarations, notices or filings would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower (a) is in compliance in all material respects with and (b) has procured and is now in possession of, all material licenses, permits, approvals and consents required by any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Communications Commission and any similar state agency) for the operation of Borrower’s business in each jurisdiction wherein it is now conducted. No Note Party, nor any Affiliate thereof nor any present stockholder thereof appears on any list of "Specially Designated Nationals" or known or suspected terrorists that has been generated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of Treasury ("OFAC"), nor is any Note Party, Affiliate or stockholder thereof a citizen or resident of any country that is subject to embargo or trade sanctions enforced by OFAC, or otherwise is a Person (i) whose property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)), (ii) who engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by Section 2 of such executive order, or, to its knowledge, is otherwise associated with any such person in any manner violative of Section 2, or (iii) subject to the limitations or prohibitions under any other OFAC regulation or executive order.

Borrower has no knowledge of any claims or adjustments proposed or asserted for any of Borrower's prior Tax years which could result in additional Taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

5.10 Use of Proceeds. Borrower (i) acknowledges that it used the proceeds of the Original Notes to finance the Packet Exchange Acquisition and for working capital purposes, and (ii) agrees that it shall use the proceeds of Additional Notes (a) to partially finance the nLayer Acquisition, (b) to fund additional Permitted Acquisitions and other growth related initiatives, or (c) with respect to any Additional Notes purchased at any Automatic Takedown, to prepay Senior Debt in order to increase availability under the Revolving Line. In no event shall any proceeds of any Notes be used for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes.

- 12 -

5.11 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of Borrower in any certificate or written statement given to Agent or any Purchaser, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given to Agent or any Purchaser, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements not misleading (it being recognized by Agent and each Purchaser that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results).

5.12 Definition of “Knowledge.” For purposes of the Note Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of the Responsible Officers.

No event of Default has occurred thereunder. The Acquisition Agreement complies with, and the nLayer Acquisition has been, or concurrent with the Initial Additional Takedown will be, consummated in accordance with, all Applicable Laws. The Acquisition Agreement is in full force and effect as of the Restatement Date, has not been terminated, rescinded or withdrawn. All Governmental Approvals having jurisdiction over the seller, any Note Party and other Persons referenced therein, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement, have been obtained, and no such approvals impose any conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement or to the conduct by any Note Party of its business thereafter.

5.14 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of GTTI consists of (x) 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which as March 23, 2012, 18,901,564 are issued and outstanding, 6,500,000 shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to GTTI’s stock option and purchase plans and zero (0) shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to securities (other than the Notes, the Original Warrant and the Additional Warrant) exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock, and (y) no shares of preferred stock.

(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Agent’s benefit;

(i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Agent or Senior Lender and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books;

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Agent under the Note Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof); and

(l) enforce each Debenture in accordance with its terms.

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the Code

- 24 -

permits. Borrower hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Agent is under no further obligation to purchase Notes hereunder and do all acts and things necessary or expedient, as determined solely and exclusively by Agent, to protect or preserve, Agent’s rights and remedies under the Note Documents, as directed by Agent. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed.

9.3 Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.7 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Note Document, Agent or any Purchaser may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent or such Purchaser are Costs and Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent and Purchasers will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent or any such Purchaser obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent or any Purchaser are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent and Purchasers may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, or proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, first, to Costs and Expenses, including without limitation, the reasonable costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent or any Purchaser in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement; second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to the principal of the Obligations and any applicable fees and other charges, in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Purchasers for any deficiency. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Agent and Purchasers for any deficiency. If Agent, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.

9.5 Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent complies with reasonable practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Agent, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s and each Purchaser’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agent and each Purchaser thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent’s and each Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are cumulative. Agent and each Purchaser has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent’s and each Purchaser’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Agent or any Purchaser from exercising any other right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Note Document or other right or remedy available at law or in equity, and Agent’s and each Purchaser’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Agent’s and each Purchaser’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

New York law governs the Note Documents regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Agent and each Purchaser each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the County of New York, State of New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Agent or any Purchaser from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agent or any Purchaser. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH HEREINABOVE, AGENT SHALL SPECIFICALLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH AGENT DEEMS NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE PURCHASER’S RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, EACH PURCHASER AND AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ALL PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Termination. Upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate liabilities), Agent shall release its liens and security interests in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

12.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights, benefits or obligations under it or under any of the other Note Documents without Required Purchasers’ prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Required Purchasers’ discretion). Each Purchaser has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Purchaser’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Note Documents (each, a “Note Transfer”); provided that, in absence of a Default or Event of Default by Borrower, any such Note Transfer shall require prior written consent of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withhold, delayed or conditioned, unless such Note Transfer is to another Purchaser or an Affiliate of any Purchaser; provided further that, as between BIA and Plexus (and their respective Affiliates), prior to effectuating any such Note Transfer to a third party other than BIA or Plexus (or their respective Affiliates), the Purchaser proposing to transfer its interests herein (the “Assignor”) shall offer the other Purchaser (the “Offeree”) a right to purchase some or all of such interests on terms and conditions substantially similar to the terms and conditions of the offer that the Assignor is prepared to accept from such third party with respect to such interests, which offer may be accepted or rejected by the Offeree in its sole discretion within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of any such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no purchaser, transferee, assignee, holder, or participant of, or in, any part of, or any interest in, any of the obligations, rights, or benefits under this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 unless it has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under those sections and Section 2.9.

12.3 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent, each Purchaser, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or attorneys (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Costs and Expenses) incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to transactions between Agent, each Purchaser and Borrower contemplated by the Note Documents (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

- 27 -

12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.5 Correction of Note Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Note Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Agent provides Borrower with written notice of such correction and allows Borrower at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by both Agent, each Purchaser and Borrower.

12.6 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.7 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Note Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Note Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Note Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Note Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Note Documents merge into the Note Documents.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.9 Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.3 to indemnify Agent and each Purchaser shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

12.10 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Agent and each Purchaser shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Agent’s and each Purchaser’s respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Agent and each Purchaser, collectively, “Purchaser Entities”) in connection with their business with Borrower; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any Notes or commitments to purchase Notes (provided, however, Agent and each Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Agent’s and each Purchaser’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Agent’s examination or audit; (e) as Agent or any Purchaser considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Note Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Agent or any Purchaser so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Agent’s or any Purchaser’s possession when disclosed to such Person, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to such Person other than as a result of a breach by such Person or its Affiliates of their confidentiality obligations hereunder; or (ii) disclosed to Agent or any Purchaser by a third party if such Person does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

Purchaser Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution, unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.11 Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between Borrower and Purchaser arising out of or relating to the Note Documents, Agent and each Purchaser shall be entitled to recover its

- 28 -

reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

12.12 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each Purchaser, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Agent and the Purchasers, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any entity under the control of Agent (including an Agent subsidiary) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Agent and each Purchaser may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.13 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Note Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.14 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

12.15 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

12.16 Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

12.17 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any Person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any Person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

12.18 Borrower Liability. Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to the purchase of Notes hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Notes purchased hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives proceeds of said Notes, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received proceeds of all Notes. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Agent or any Purchaser to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Agent and each Purchaser may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any other Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Agent and each Purchaser under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such

- 29 -

payment in trust for Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Purchasers for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

12.19 Intercreditor; Subordination.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the liens and security interests securing the Obligations, the exercise of any right or remedy with respect hereto, and certain of the rights of Agent and each Purchaser hereof are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control;

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding of the parties that the Liens with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall, prior to the Discharge of Senior Priority Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), be junior and subordinate (pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) in all respects to all Liens with respect to the Collateral securing any Senior Debt.

12.20 The Agent.

12.20.1 Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent as an agent of such Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Each Purchaser irrevocably authorizes the Agent, in such capacity, through its agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.20.6, the provisions of this Section 12.20 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers, and no Note Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions.

12.20.2 Agent in its Individual Capacity. Each person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower or Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder and without duty to account therefor to the Purchasers.

12.20.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Note Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Note Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Purchasers; provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Note Documents or applicable legal requirements, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Note Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Note Party or any Affiliates thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable to Purchasers for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by Borrower or a Purchaser, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Note Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere in any Note Document other than to confirm receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

- 30 -

12.20.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a proper person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally and believed by it to be made by a proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the purchasing of the Notes, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the purchase of the Note. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or advisors.

12.20.5Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agent.

12.20.6 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Purchasers and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor Agent from among the Purchasers. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that if such retiring Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by Agent on behalf of the Purchasers under the Note Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor agent is appointed), and the Purchasers shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent under the Note Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.20, Section 11, Section 12.3, and Section 12.12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

12.20.7 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

12.20.8 Indemnification.

(b) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Note Document, Agent will not be

- 32 -

required to distribute any portion thereof to any Purchaser. In addition, each Purchaser will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Purchaser, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c) If any Purchaser shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Note (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.7) in excess of its pro rata share of payments entitled pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser shall repay to Agent on demand the amount of such excess. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Purchaser receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (c) applies, such Purchaser shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Purchasers entitled under this clause (c) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
