References in this Agreement to any party shall include such party’s successors and permitted assigns. To the extent any of the provisions of the other Loan Documents are inconsistent with the terms of this Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall govern.

2. COMMITMENT OF THE BANK.

2.1 Revolving Loans.

(a)

Revolving Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrowers, herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Bank agrees to make such Revolving Loans at such times as the Borrowers may from time to time request until, but not

including, the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and in such amounts as the Borrowers may from time to time request, provided, however, that the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the (i) Revolving Loan Commitment and/or (ii) the Borrowing Base Amount. Revolving Loans made by the Bank may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, borrowed again up to, but not including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or the time that a Revolving Loan is otherwise terminated or extended as provided in this Agreement.

	(b)		Revolving Loan Interest and Payments. The principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time which are Prime Loans, shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, commencing on July 31, 2010 and continuing on the last day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time which are LIBOR Loans shall be payable on the last Business Day of each Interest Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on the date of any principal repayment of a LIBOR Loan, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Any amount of principal or interest on the Revolving Loans which is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest payable on demand at the Default Rate.

	(c)		Revolving Loan Principal Repayments.

	(i)		Mandatory Principal Repayments. Each Revolving Loan hereunder shall be repaid by the Borrowers on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, unless payable sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

	(ii)		Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans which are Prime Loans and, subject to Section 2.2(a) hereof LIBOR Loans, in whole or in part, without any prepayment penalty whatsoever, subject to the following conditions: any prepayment of the entire principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall include accrued interest on such Revolving Loans to the date of such prepayment and payment in full of all other Obligations pertaining to such Revolving Loans then due and payable.

2.2 Additional LIBOR Loan Provisions.

	(a)		LIBOR Loan Prepayments. If, for any reason, a LIBOR Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period, then Borrowers agree to pay to the Bank the Bank’s normal and customary LIBOR breakage fees.

	(b)		LIBOR Unavailability. If the Bank determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (i) United States dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available to the Bank in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof and, so long as the foregoing conditions continue, Loans may not be advanced as LIBOR Loans thereafter. In addition, at the Borrowers’ option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (i) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, or (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

	(c)		Regulatory Change. In addition, if, after the date hereof, a Regulatory Change shall, in the reasonable determination of the Bank, make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain the LIBOR Loans, then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers and Loans may not be advanced as LIBOR Loans thereafter. In addition, at the Borrowers’ option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (i) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, or (ii) due and payable on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law, all without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

	(d)		LIBOR Loan Indemnity. If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Bank; (ii) subject the Bank or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or fee or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal or interest due from the Borrowers to the Bank hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of the Bank); or (iii) impose on the Bank any other condition regarding such LIBOR Loan or the Bank’s funding thereof, and the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that the result of the foregoing is to

increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by the Bank hereunder, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank, on demand, such additional amounts as the Bank shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify the Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount.

2.3 Letters of Credit.

	(a)		Borrowers, by notice to the Bank, may request that, in lieu of advances of proceeds of Revolving Loans, the Bank issue unconditional, irrevocable standby letters of credit or direct-pay letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of Borrowers, payable by sight drafts, for such beneficiaries and with such other terms as Borrowers shall specify.

	(b)		The amount of all Letters of Credit, in the aggregate, shall be limited to Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), and the amount of any Letter of Credit shall be limited to Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00), less the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit theretofore issued, it being understood that the amount of each Letter of Credit issued and outstanding shall effect a reduction, by an equal amount, of the availability of the Revolving Loan Commitment unless such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the fee applicable for each Letter of Credit issued by the Bank shall be one and one-half percent (1.5%) per annum of the undrawn face value of the Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears; provided that, to the extent a Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized, the fee applicable for such Letter of Credit shall be one-half percent (0.5%) per annum of the undrawn face value so Cash Collateralized. The Interest Rate applicable for all Letters of Credit drawn upon shall be the Revolving Interest Rate.

	(c)		The amount of each Letter of Credit shall be further subject to the limitations applicable to amounts of advances set forth in Section 2.1 and the procedures for the issuance of each Letter of Credit shall be the same as the procedures applicable to the making of advances as set forth in Section 5.1.

	(d)		So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Letter(s) of Credit may be issued on or prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date for a term not to exceed one year after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, subject to the provisions hereof.

	(e)		In connection with, and as a further condition to the issuance of, each Letter of Credit, a Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Bank an application for the Letter(s) of Credit on the Bank’s standard form

			therefore, together with such other documents and assurances as the Bank shall reasonably require.

	(f)		Each Borrower agrees, upon demand by the Bank following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and/or on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to either (1) Cash Collateralize all the outstanding Letters of Credit or (2) deliver to Bank a letter of credit in favor of the Bank in the amount of all the outstanding Letters of Credit, issued by a financial institution and containing provisions in each case satisfactory to the Bank in its sole reasonable discretion, as security for Borrowers’ obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit.

2.4 Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder or under the Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment.

2.5 Taxes. All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Bank.

At the time of the initial disbursement of a Revolving Loan and at each time an additional Revolving Loan shall be requested hereunder or a repayment made in whole or in part thereon, an appropriate notation thereof shall be made on the books and records of the Bank. All amounts recorded shall be, absent demonstrable error, conclusive and binding evidence of (i) the principal amount of the Revolving Loans advanced hereunder, (ii) any unpaid interest owing on the Revolving Loans, and (iii) all amounts repaid on the Revolving Loans. The failure to record any such amount or any error in recording such amounts shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under the Revolving Note to repay the principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with all interest accruing thereon.

5. MANNER OF BORROWING.

5.1 All Loans. Each Loan shall be made available to Borrowers upon their request, from any Person whose authority to so act has not been revoked by Borrowers in writing previously received by the Bank. Each Loan may be advanced either as a Prime Loan or a LIBOR Loan, provided, however, that at any time and from time to time, the Borrowers may identify no more than three (3) Loans which may be LIBOR Loans. A request for a Prime Loan must be received by no later than 11:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time, on the day it is to be funded. A request for a LIBOR Loan must be (i) received by no later than 11:00 a.m. Chicago, Illinois time, two (2) business days before the day it is to be funded, and (ii) in an amount greater than or equal to Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00). If for any reason the Borrowers shall fail to select timely an Interest Period for an existing LIBOR Loan, then such LIBOR Loan shall be immediately converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, all without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers. The proceeds of each Prime Loan or LIBOR Loan shall be made available at the office of the Bank by credit to the account of the Borrowers or by other means requested by the Borrowers and acceptable to the Bank.

5.2 Revolving Loans. Upon receipt of a request for a Revolving Loan, the Bank shall advance such Revolving Loan as provided in Section 5.1 hereof unless an Event of Default is continuing or the Bank has reason to believe the request is unauthorized.

The Bank is authorized to rely on any written, electronic, telephonic or telecopy loan requests which the Bank believes in its good faith judgment to emanate from an Authorized Borrowers Representative, whether or not that is in fact the case. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably confirm, ratify and approve all such advances by the Bank and hereby indemnify the Bank against losses and expenses (including court costs, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees) and shall hold the Bank harmless with respect thereto.

6. SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS.

6.1 Security for Obligations. As security for the payment of the Obligations, each Borrower does hereby pledge, assign, transfer and deliver to the Bank and does hereby grant to the Bank a continuing and unconditional first priority security interest in and to any and all of the following property of such Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, (all of which property, along with the products and proceeds therefrom, are individually and collectively referred to as the “Collateral”):

	(a)		all property of, or for the account of, such Borrower, whether now or hereafter coming into the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to, the Bank or any agent or bailee for the Bank or any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of the Bank or any participant with the Bank in the Loans (whether for safekeeping, deposit, collection, custody, pledge, transmission or otherwise), including all earnings, dividends, interest, or other rights in connection therewith and the products and proceeds therefrom, including the proceeds of insurance thereon; and

	(b)		the additional property of such Borrower, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired, and wherever now or hereafter located, together with all additions and accessions thereto, substitutions for, and replacements, products and proceeds therefrom, and all of such Borrower’s books and records and recorded data relating thereto (regardless of the medium of recording or storage), together with all of the Borrower’s rights, title and interest in and to all computer software required to utilize, create, maintain and process any such records or data on electronic media, identified and set forth as follows:

	(i)		All Accounts (whether or not Eligible Accounts) and all Goods whose sale, lease or other disposition by such Borrower has given rise to Accounts and have been returned to, or repossessed or stopped in transit by, a Borrower or rejected or refused by an Account Debtor;

	(ii)		All Inventory, including, without limitation, raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, but excluding railcars leased by a Borrower to third parties;

	(iii)		All Chattel Paper, Electronic Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents, Letter of Credit Rights, all proceeds of letters of credit, Health-care-insurance receivables, Supporting Obligations, Commercial Tort Claims and General Intangibles, including Payment Intangibles; and

	(iv)		All insurance policies and proceeds insuring the foregoing property or any part thereof, including unearned premiums;

provided, that the Collateral shall not include property being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or financed pursuant to a Permitted Factoring Transaction, and any Lien hereunder that might exist over such property prior to such sale, transfer, disposal or financing shall automatically be released upon such sale, transfer, disposal or financing.

6.2 Possession of Collateral. Until an Event of Default has occurred hereunder and the Bank exercises remedies in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall be entitled to possession or use of the Collateral. The cancellation or surrender of the Note, upon payment or otherwise, shall not affect the right of the Bank to retain the Collateral for any other of the Obligations; provided, however, that upon payment in full of the Obligations, the Bank shall promptly release its respective security interests in the Collateral.

6.3 Financing Statements. The Borrowers shall, at the Bank’s request, at any time and from time to time, execute and deliver to the Bank such financing statements, amendments and other documents and do such acts as the Bank deems necessary in order to establish and maintain valid, attached and perfected first security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Bank, free and clear of all Liens and claims and rights of third parties whatsoever (except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 8.2). Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank at any time, and from time to time, to file in any jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral is comprised of all assets of the Borrowers or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed; and (ii) contain any other information required by Section 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction wherein such financing statement or amendment is filed regarding the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including whether the Borrowers are an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to furnish any such information to the Bank promptly upon request. Each Borrower further ratifies and affirms its authorization for any financing statements and/or amendments thereto, executed and filed by the Bank in any jurisdiction prior to the date of this Agreement.

6.4 Preservation of the Collateral. The Bank may, but is not required to, take such action from time to time as the Bank deems reasonably appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. The Bank shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such action as the Borrowers shall reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that such request shall not be inconsistent with the Bank’s status as a secured party, and the failure of the Bank to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. In addition, any failure of the Bank to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by the Borrowers, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. The Borrowers shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of the Borrowers and the Bank in the Collateral against prior or third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of securities, the Borrowers represent to, and covenant with, the Bank that the Borrowers have

made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the securities (including, but not limited to, rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and the Borrowers agree that the Bank shall have no responsibility or liability for informing the Borrowers of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.

6.5 Other Actions as to any and all Collateral. The Borrowers further agree to take any other action reasonably requested by the Bank to insure the attachment, perfection and first priority of, and the ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) executing, delivering and, where appropriate, filing financing statements and amendments relating thereto under the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent, if any, that a Borrower’s signature thereon is required therefore, (ii) causing the Bank’s name to be noted as secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such notation is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank’s security interest in such Collateral, (iii) complying with any provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of the Bank to enforce, the Bank’s security interest in such Collateral, (iv) obtaining governmental and other third party consents and approvals, including without limitation any consent of any licensor, lessor or other Person obligated on Collateral, (v) obtaining waivers from mortgagees and landlords in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank to the extent Collateral is located at such Premises and included in the Borrowing Base, and (vi) taking all actions required by the UCC in effect from time to time or by other law, as applicable in any relevant UCC jurisdiction, or by other law as applicable in any foreign jurisdiction.

6.6 Collateral in the Possession of a Warehouseman or Bailee. If any of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base at any time is in the possession of a warehouseman or bailee while any Revolving Loans or non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit are outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank thereof, and if requested by the Bank, shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the warehouseman or bailee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, that the warehouseman or bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Bank and shall act upon the instructions of the Bank, without the further consent of the Borrower.

6.7 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If a Borrower at any time is a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of that Borrower or Borrowers that pertains to any of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base while any Revolving Loans or non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit are outstanding, Borrowers shall promptly notify the Bank thereof and, at the request and option of the Bank, the Borrowers shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Bank of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit, or (ii) arrange for the Bank to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Bank agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter to credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement.

6.8 Commercial Tort Claims. If a Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim that pertains to any of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base while any Revolving Loans or non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit are outstanding, such Borrower shall immediately notify the Bank in writing signed by such Borrower of the details thereof and grant to the Bank 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 satisfactory to the Bank.

6.9 Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If a Borrower at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record” that pertains to any of the Collateral included in the Borrowing Base while any Revolving Loans or non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit are outstanding, as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Borrower shall promptly notify the Bank thereof and, at the request of the Bank, shall take such action as the Bank may reasonably request to vest in the Bank control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, §16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

12. REMEDIES.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents, in any written agreement or instrument (other than this Agreement or the Loan Documents) relating to any of the Obligations or any security therefore, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank may, at its option upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, declare its commitments to the Borrowers to be terminated and all Obligations to be immediately due and payable, provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under either Section 11.6, “Assignment for Creditors”, or Section 11.7, “Bankruptcy”, all commitments of the Bank to the Borrowers shall immediately terminate and all Obligations shall be automatically due and payable, all without demand, notice or further action of any kind required on the part of the Bank. The Borrowers hereby waive any and all presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of the Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents, and hereby consent to, and waive notice of release, with or without consideration, of any of the Borrowers or of any Collateral, notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary. In addition to the foregoing:

12.1 Possession and Assembly of Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which the Bank already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter into any of the Borrowers’ premises where any of the Collateral may be or is supposed to be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of and the Bank shall have the right to store the same in any of the Borrowers’ premises without cost to the Bank. At the Bank’s request, the Borrowers will, at the Borrowers’ sole expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank for the benefit of the Bank at a place or places to be designated by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to the Bank and the Borrower.

12.2 Sale of Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may sell any or all of the Collateral at public or private sale, upon such terms and conditions as the Bank may deem proper, and the Bank may purchase any or all of the Collateral at any such sale. The Bank may apply the net proceeds, after deducting all costs, expenses, attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees incurred or paid at any time in the collection, protection and sale of the Collateral and the Obligations, to the payment of the Note and/or any of the other Obligations, returning the excess proceeds, if any, to the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall remain liable for any amount remaining unpaid after such application, with interest. Any notification of intended disposition of the Collateral required by law shall be conclusively deemed reasonably and properly given if given by the Bank at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of such disposition. The Borrowers

hereby confirm, approve and ratify all acts and deeds of the Bank relating to the foregoing, and each part thereof.

12.3 Standards for Exercising Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Bank to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Bank (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Bank to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work-in-process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrowers, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, including, without limitation, any warranties of title, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Bank against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Bank a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Bank, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Bank in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Borrowers acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Bank would not be commercially unreasonable in the Bank’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Bank shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 12.3. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 12.3 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrowers or to impose any duties on the Bank that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 12.3.

12.4 UCC and Offset Rights. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank may exercise, from time to time, any and all rights and remedies available to it under the UCC or under any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any other agreements between any Obligor and the Bank, and may, without demand or notice of any kind, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, including costs of collection and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, and in such order of application as the Bank may, from time to time, elect, any indebtedness of the Bank to any Obligor, however created or arising, including, but not limited to, balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor in the possession, control or custody of, or in transit to the Bank. The Borrowers, on behalf of

themselves and each Obligor, hereby waive the benefit of any law that would otherwise restrict or limit the Bank in the exercise of its right, which is hereby acknowledged, to appropriate at any time hereafter any such indebtedness owing from the Bank to any Obligor.

12.5 Additional Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Bank shall have the right and power to:

	(a)		instruct the Borrowers, at their own expense, to notify any parties obligated on any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any Account Debtors, to make payment directly to the Bank of any amounts due or to become due thereunder, or the Bank may directly notify such obligors of the security interest of the Bank, and/or of the assignment to the Bank of the Collateral and direct such obligors to make payment to the Bank of any amounts due or to become due with respect thereto, and thereafter, collect any such amounts due on the Collateral directly from such Persons obligated thereon;

	(b)		enforce collection of any of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, any Accounts, by suit or otherwise, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to any of the Collateral, or surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise, extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder;

	(c)		take possession or control of any proceeds and products of any of the Collateral, including the proceeds of insurance thereon;

	(e)		grant releases, compromises or indulgences with respect to the Note, any of the Obligations, any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations, any security therefore, or to any other obligor with respect to the Note or any of the Obligations;

	(f)		transfer the whole or any part of securities which may constitute Collateral into the name of the Bank or the Bank’s nominee without disclosing, if the Bank so desires, that such securities so transferred are subject to the security interest of the Bank, and any corporation, association, or any of the managers or trustees of any trust issuing any of said securities, or any transfer agent, shall not be bound to inquire, in the event that the Bank or said nominee makes any further transfer of said securities, or any portion thereof, as to whether the Bank or such nominee has the right to make such further transfer, and shall not be liable for transferring the same;

	(g)		vote the Collateral;

	(h)		make an election with respect to the Collateral under Section 1111 of the Bankruptcy Code or take action under Section 364 or any other section of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that any such action of the Bank as set forth herein shall not, in any manner whatsoever, impair or affect the liability of the Borrowers hereunder, nor prejudice, waive, nor be construed to impair, affect, prejudice or waive the Bank’s rights and remedies at law, in equity or by statute, nor release, discharge, nor be construed to release or discharge, the Borrowers, any guarantor or other Person liable to the Bank for the Obligations; and

	(i)		at any time, and from time to time, accept additions to, releases, reductions, exchanges or substitution of the Collateral, without in any way altering, impairing, diminishing or affecting the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any of the other Obligations, or the Bank’s rights hereunder, under the Note or under any of the other Obligations.

The Borrowers hereby ratify and confirm whatever the Bank may do with respect to the Collateral and agrees that the Bank shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law with respect to actions taken in connection with the Collateral.

12.6 Attorney-in-Fact. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably make, constitute and appoint the Bank (and any officer of the Bank or any Person designated by the Bank for that purpose) as the Borrowers’ true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact (and agent-in-fact) in the Borrowers’ name, place and stead, with full power of substitution, to (i) take such actions as are permitted in this Agreement, (ii) execute and/or file such financing statements and other documents and to do such other acts as the Bank may require to perfect and preserve the Bank’s security interest in, and to enforce such interests in the Collateral, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, carry out any remedy provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrowers’ name to checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment, and proceeds of the Collateral, executing change of address forms with the postmaster of the United States Post Office serving the address of the Borrower, changing the address of the Borrowers to that of the Bank, opening all envelopes addressed to the Borrowers and applying any payments contained therein to the Obligations. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the constitution and appointment of such proxy and attorney-in-fact are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable. The Borrowers hereby ratify and confirm all that said attorney-in-fact may do or cause to be done by virtue of any provision of this Agreement.

12.7 No Marshaling. The Bank shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order. To the extent that they lawfully may, the Borrowers hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that they lawfully may, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the benefits of all such laws.

12.8 Application of Proceeds. The Bank will within three (3) Business Days after the Bank’s receipt of cash or solvent credits from collection of items of payment, proceeds of Collateral or any other source, apply the whole or any part thereof against the Obligations secured hereby. The Bank shall further have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of such payments and such credits shall be made on the Obligations, and such determination shall be conclusive upon the Borrowers. Any proceeds of any disposition by the Bank of all or any part of the Collateral may be first applied by the Bank to the payment of expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the Collateral, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses as provided for in Article 13 hereof.

12.9 No Waiver. No Event of Default shall be waived by the Bank except in writing. No failure or delay on the part of the Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of the exercise of the same or any other right at any other time; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. There shall be no obligation on the part of the Bank to exercise any remedy available to the Bank in any order. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity. The Borrowers agree that in the event that the Borrowers fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their Obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other agreements with the Bank, no remedy of law will provide adequate relief to the Bank, and further agree that the Bank shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
