This Agreement dated as of December 8, 2010, is between Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) and
American Locker Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“American Locker”), American Locker
Security Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Security Systems”), Security Manufacturing
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Security Manufacturing”) and Canadian Locker Company Limited,
a corporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada (“Canadian Locker”) (American Locker,
Security Systems, Security Manufacturing and Canadian Locker, are sometimes referred to

1. DEFINITIONS
In addition to the terms which are defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms have
the meanings indicated for the purposes of this Agreement:
1.1 “Borrowing Base” means the sum of:
(a) | 80% of the balance due on Acceptable Receivables; and |
(b) | the lesser of (i) 50% of the value of Acceptable Inventory, or (ii) $1,000,000.00. |
In determining the value of Acceptable Inventory to be included in the Borrowing Base, the Bank
will use the lowest of (i) the Borrower’s cost, (ii) the Borrower’s estimated market value, or
(iii) the Bank’s independent determination of the resale value of such inventory in such quantities
and on such terms as the Bank deems appropriate.
After calculating the Borrowing Base as provided above, the Bank may deduct such reserves as the
Bank may establish from time to time in its reasonable credit judgment, including, without
limitation, reserves for rent at leased locations subject to statutory or contractual landlord’s
liens, inventory shrinkage, dilution, customs charges, warehousemen’s or bailees’ charges,
liabilities to growers of agricultural products which are entitled to lien rights under the federal
Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act or any applicable state law, or the federal laws of Canada
or any applicable laws of any province or territory of Canada, and the amount of estimated maximum
exposure, as determined by the Bank from time to time, under any interest rate contracts which the
Borrower enters into with the Bank (including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options thereon,
combinations thereof, or similar contracts).
1.2 “Acceptable Receivable” means an account receivable which satisfies the following
requirements:
(a) | The account has resulted from the sale of goods by the Borrower in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business and without any further obligation on the part of the Borrower to service, repair, or maintain any such goods sold other than pursuant to any applicable warranty. |
(b) | There are no conditions which must be satisfied before the Borrower is entitled to receive payment of the account. Accounts arising from COD sales, consignments or guaranteed sales are not acceptable. |
(c) | The debtor upon the account does not claim any defense to payment of the account, whether well founded or otherwise. |
(d) | The account balance does not include the amount of any counterclaims or offsets which have been or may be asserted against the Borrower by the account debtor (including offsets for any “contra accounts” owed by the Borrower to the account debtor for goods purchased by the Borrower or for services performed for the Borrower). To the extent any counterclaims, offsets, or contra accounts exist in favor of the debtor, such amounts shall be deducted from the account balance. |
(e) | The account represents a genuine obligation of the debtor for goods sold to and accepted by the debtor. To the extent any credit balances exist in favor of the debtor, such credit balances shall be deducted from the account balance. |
(f) | The account balance does not include the amount of any finance or service charges payable by the account debtor. To the extent any finance charges or service charges are included, such amounts shall be deducted from the account balance. |
(g) | The Borrower has sent an invoice to the debtor in the amount of the account. |
(h) | The Borrower is not prohibited by the laws of the state where the account debtor is located, or if the account debtor is located in Canada, under the federal laws of Canada or the applicable province or territory of Canada, from bringing an action in the courts of that jurisdiction to enforce the debtor’s obligation to pay the account. The Borrower has taken all appropriate actions to ensure access to the courts of the jurisdiction where the account debtor is located, including, where necessary, the filing of a Notice of Business Activities Report or other similar filing with the applicable agency or the qualification by the Borrower as a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in such jurisdiction. |
(i) | The account is owned by the Borrower free of any title defects or any liens or interests of others except the security interest in favor of the Bank. |
(j) | The debtor upon the account is not any of the following: |
(i) | An employee, affiliate, parent or subsidiary of the Borrower, or an entity which has common officers or directors with the Borrower. | ||
(ii) | The U.S. government or any agency or department of the U.S. government unless the Bank agrees in writing to accept the obligation, the Borrower complies with the procedures in the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 (41 U.S.C. §15) with respect to the obligation, and the underlying contract expressly provides that neither the U.S. government nor any agency or department thereof shall have the right of set-off against the Borrower. | ||
(iii) | Any nation (other than the United States), state, province, territory, county, city, town or municipality. | ||
(iv) | Any person or entity located in a foreign country (other than Canada) unless the account is covered by foreign credit insurance acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion and the account is otherwise an Acceptable Receivable; and then only the amount insured is eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base as an Acceptable Receivable. |
(k) | The account is not in default. An account will be considered in default if any of the following occur: |
(i) | the account is not paid within 90 days from its invoice date; | ||
(ii) | the debtor obligated upon the account suspends business, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or fails to pay its debts generally as they come due; or | ||
(iii) | any petition is filed by or against the debtor obligated upon the account under any bankruptcy law or any other law or laws for the relief of debtors. |
(l) | The account is not the obligation of a debtor who is in default (as defined above) on 20% or more of the accounts upon which such debtor is obligated. |
2
(m) | The account does not arise from the sale of goods which remain in the Borrower’s possession or under the Borrower’s control. |
(n) | The account is not evidenced by a promissory note or chattel paper, nor is the account debtor obligated to the Borrower under any other obligation which is evidenced by a promissory note. |
(o) | The account is otherwise acceptable to the Bank. |
In addition to the foregoing limitations, the dollar amount of accounts included as Acceptable
Receivables which are the obligations of a single debtor shall not exceed the concentration limit
established for that debtor. To the extent the total of such accounts exceeds a debtor’s
concentration limit, the amount of any such excess shall be excluded. The concentration limit for
each debtor shall be equal to 20% of the total amount of the Borrower’s total accounts receivable
at that time
1.3 “Acceptable Inventory” means inventory which satisfies the following requirements:
(a) | The inventory is owned by the Borrower free of any title defects or any liens or interests of others except the security interest in favor of the Bank. This does not prohibit any statutory liens which may exist in favor of the growers of agricultural products which are purchased by the Borrower. |
(b) | The inventory is located at locations which the Borrower has disclosed to the Bank and which are acceptable to the Bank. If the inventory is covered by a negotiable document of title (such as a warehouse receipt) that document must be delivered to the Bank. Inventory which is in transit is not acceptable. |
(c) | The inventory is held for sale or use in the ordinary course of the Borrower’s business and is of good and merchantable quality. Display items, work-in-process, parts, samples, and packing and shipping materials are not acceptable. Inventory which is obsolete, unsalable, damaged, defective, used, discontinued or slow-moving, or which has been returned by the buyer, is not acceptable. |

4
delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term of one month, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank.

The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment. |
(c) | Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen (15) days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default. |

but are not limited to, filing, recording and search fees, appraisal fees, title report fees, and
documentation fees.

credit evidenced hereby, exceed the amount of interest computed at the Maximum Rate.
6
5. | COLLATERAL |
5.1 Personal Property. The personal property listed below now owned or owned in the future
by the parties listed below, will secure the Borrowers’ obligations to the Bank under this
Agreement. The collateral is further defined in security agreement(s) executed by the owners of
the collateral. In addition, all personal property collateral owned by the Borrowers securing this
Agreement shall also secure all other present and future obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank
(excluding any consumer credit covered by the federal Truth in Lending law, unless the Borrowers
have otherwise agreed in writing or received written notice thereof). All personal property
collateral securing any other present or future obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank shall also
secure this Agreement.
(a) | Equipment and fixtures owned by each Borrower. | |
(b) | Inventory owned by each Borrower. | |
(c) | Receivables owned by each Borrower. | |
(d) | All instruments, notes, chattel paper, documents, certificates of deposit, securities and investment property of every type owned by each Borrower. |
Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System places certain
restrictions on loans secured by margin stock (as defined in the Regulation). The Bank and
the Borrower shall comply with Regulation U. If any of the collateral is margin stock, the
Borrower shall provide to the Bank a Form U-1 Purpose Statement. |
(e) | Deposit accounts with the Bank owned by each Borrower. | |
(f) | Patents, trademarks and other general intangibles owned by each Borrower. |
(g) | All such other personal property owned by a Borrower in which any such Borrower shall have granted the Bank a security interest, including, but not limited to, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, deposit accounts, letter of credit rights, and payment intangibles owned by the Borrower. |
6. | DISBURSEMENTS, PAYMENTS AND COSTS |
6.1 | Disbursements and Payments. |
(a) | Each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by debit to a deposit account, as described in this Agreement or otherwise authorized by the Borrower. For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking centers in the United States, or by such other method as may be permitted by the Bank. |
(b) | The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments given by the Borrower (if an individual), or by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual designated by any one of such authorized signers (each an “Authorized Individual”). |
(c) | For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to a deposit account, the Borrower will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover each debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit. |
7
(d) | Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to sign one or more promissory notes. |
(e) | Prior to the date each payment of principal and interest and any fees from the Borrower becomes due (the “Due Date”), the Bank will mail to the Borrower a statement of the amounts that will be due on that Due Date (the “Billed Amount”). The calculations in the xxxx will be made on the assumption that no new extensions of credit or payments will be made between the date of the billing statement and the Due Date, and that there will be no changes in the applicable interest rate. If the Billed Amount differs from the actual amount due on the Due Date (the “Accrued Amount”), the discrepancy will be treated as follows: |
(i) | If the Billed Amount is less than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be increased by the amount of the discrepancy. The Borrower will not be in default by reason of any such discrepancy. | ||
(ii) | If the Billed Amount is more than the Accrued Amount, the Billed Amount for the following Due Date will be decreased by the amount of the discrepancy. |
Regardless of any such discrepancy, interest will continue to accrue based on the actual amount of principal outstanding without compounding. The Bank will not pay the Borrower interest on any overpayment. |
6.2 | Requests for Credit; Equal Access by all Borrowers. If there is more than one Borrower, any Borrower (or a person or persons authorized by any one of the Borrowers), acting alone, can borrow up to the full amount of credit provided under this Agreement. Each Borrower will be liable for all extensions of credit made under this Agreement to any other Borrower. |
6.3 | Telephone and Telefax Authorization. |
(a) | The Bank may honor telephone or telefax instructions for advances or repayments given, or purported to be given, by any one of the Authorized Individuals. |
(b) | Advances will be deposited in and repayments will be withdrawn from account number ________owned by Security Systems, or such other accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrowers. |
(c) | The Borrowers will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from all liability, loss, and costs in connection with any act resulting from telephone or telefax instructions the Bank reasonably believes are made by any Authorized Individual. This paragraph will survive this Agreement’s termination, and will benefit the Bank and its officers, employees, and agents. |
6.4 | Direct Debit. |
(a) | The Borrowers agree that on the Due Date the Bank will debit the Billed Amount from deposit account number ________ owned by Security Systems, or such other of the Borrowers’ accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by the Borrowers (the “Designated Account”). |
(b) | The Borrowers may terminate this direct debit arrangement at any time by sending written notice to the Bank at the address specified at the end of this Agreement. If the Borrowers terminate this arrangement, then the principal amount outstanding under this Agreement will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate per annum which is the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) 0.5 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. |
6.5 Banking Days. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day
other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or
are in fact closed,
8
in the state where the Bank’s lending office is located, and, if such day relates to amounts
bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which dealings in dollar
deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and
disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next
banking day. All payments received on a day which is not a banking day will be applied to the
credit on the next banking day.
6.6 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and
fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days
elapsed. This results in more interest or a higher fee than if a 365-day year is used.
Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear
interest until paid. For the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder to the
extent that it is applicable, whenever interest to be paid hereunder is to be calculated on the
basis of a 360-day year or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly
rate of interest to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the
rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same
is to be ascertained and divided by either 360 days or such other period of time, as the case may
be.
6.7 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment
has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this
Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option
of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate or (ii) 6.0
percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement. This
may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default.
6.8 Taxes. All payments by the Borrower to the Bank hereunder shall be made to the Bank in
full without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and exempt from and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, or charges
of whatsoever nature imposed by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority
thereof. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any taxes imposed on or withheld from such
payments (other than taxes imposed on the Bank’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on the Bank,
by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Bank is organized or any political subdivision
thereof).
6.9 Overdrafts. At the Bank’s sole option in each instance, the Bank may do one of the
following:
(a) | The Bank may make advances under this Agreement to prevent or cover an overdraft on any account of a Borrower with the Bank. Each such advance will accrue interest from the date of the advance or the date on which the account is overdrawn, whichever occurs first, at the interest rate described in this Agreement. The Bank may make such advances even if the advances may cause any credit limit under this Agreement to be exceeded. |
(b) | The Bank may reduce the amount of credit otherwise available under this Agreement by the amount of any overdraft on any account of the Borrower with the Bank. |
This paragraph shall not be deemed to authorize the Borrower to create overdrafts on any of the
Borrower’s accounts with the Bank.
6.10 Payments in Kind. If the Bank requires delivery in kind of the proceeds of collection
of the Borrower’s accounts receivable, such proceeds shall be credited to interest, principal, and
other sums owed to the Bank under this Agreement in the order and proportion determined by the Bank
in its sole discretion. All such credits will be conditioned upon collection and any returned
items may, at the Bank’s option, be charged to the Borrower.
6.11 Judgment Currency. In the event of a judgment or order being rendered by any court or
tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to the Bank under this Agreement or for the payment
of damages in respect of any breach of this Agreement or under or in respect of a judgment or order
of another court
9
or tribunal for the payment of such amounts or damages, such judgment or order being expressed in a
currency (the ‘Judgment Currency”) other than the currency payable hereunder or thereunder (the
“Agreed Currency”), the party against whom the judgment or order is made shall indemnify and hold
the Bank harmless against any deficiency in terms of the Agreed Currency in the amounts received by
the Bank arising or resulting from any variation as between (a) the exchange rate at which the
Agreed Currency is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purposes of such judgment or order,
and (b) the exchange rate at which the Bank is able to purchase the Agreed Currency with the amount
of the Judgment Currency actually received by the Bank on the date of such receipt. The indemnity
in this Section shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations
of the Borrower.

12.1 GAAP. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information
provided to the Bank and all financial covenants will be made under generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied.
12.2 Governing Law.
This Agreement is governed by and shall be interpreted according to federal law and the laws of
Texas. If state or local law and federal law are inconsistent, or if state or local law is
preempted by federal law, federal law governs. If the Bank has greater rights or remedies under
federal law, whether as a national bank or otherwise, this paragraph shall not be deemed to deprive
the Bank of such rights and remedies as may be available under federal law. It is the intention of
the parties to comply with applicable usury laws. The parties agree that the total amount of
interest contracted for, charged, collected or received by
20
the Bank under this Agreement shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. To the extent, if any, that
Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “Code”) is relevant to the Bank for purposes of
determining the Maximum Rate, the parties elect to determine the Maximum Rate under the Code
pursuant to the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as referred to and defined in §
303.001-303.016 of the Code; subject, however, to any right the Bank subsequently may have under
applicable law to change the method of determining the Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding any contrary
provisions contained herein, (a) the Maximum Rate shall be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be; (b) in determining
whether the interest hereunder exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate, the total amount of interest
shall be spread throughout the entire term of this Agreement until its payment in full; (c) if at
any time the interest rate chargeable under this Agreement would exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby
causing the interest payable under this Agreement to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any
subsequent reductions in the interest rate(s) shall not reduce the rate of interest charged under
this Agreement below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued from and after the
date of this Agreement equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the interest
rate(s) had at all times been in effect; (d) if the Bank ever charges or receives anything of value
which is deemed to be interest under applicable Texas law, and if the occurrence of any event,
including acceleration of maturity of obligations owing to the Bank, should cause such interest to
exceed the maximum lawful amount, any amount which exceeds interest at the Maximum Rate shall be
applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance under this Agreement or any other
indebtedness owed to the Bank by the Borrower, and if this Agreement and such other indebtedness
are paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Borrower; and (e) Chapter 346 of the
Code shall not be applicable to this Agreement or the indebtedness outstanding hereunder.
12.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on the Borrower’s and the Bank’s
successors and assignees. The Borrower agrees that it may not assign this Agreement without the
Bank’s prior consent. The Bank may sell participations in or assign this loan, and may exchange

hazardous substances) with actual or potential participants or. If a participation is sold or the

12.4 Dispute Resolution Provision.
This paragraph, including the subparagraphs below, is referred to as the “Dispute Resolution
Provision.” This Dispute Resolution Provision is a material inducement for the parties entering
into this agreement.
(a) | This Dispute Resolution Provision concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the purposes of this Dispute Resolution Provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or evidenced by this agreement. |
(b) | At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the “Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. |
(c) | Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to (i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may designate another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration. |
21
(d) | The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and have judgment entered and enforced. |
(e) | The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and shall dismiss the arbitration if the Claim is barred under the applicable statutes of limitation. For purposes of the application of any statutes of limitation, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be determined by the arbitrator(s), except as set forth at subparagraph (h) of this Dispute Resolution Provision. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement. |
(f) | This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies. |
(g) | The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to arbitration. |
(h) | Any arbitration or court trial (whether before a judge or jury) of any Claim will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action (the “Class Action Waiver”). The Class Action Waiver precludes any party from participating in or being represented in any class or representative action regarding a Claim. Regardless of anything else in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver may be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’ agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be arbitrated. |
(i) | By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This waiver of jury trial shall remain in effect even if the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. |
22
12.5 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable, the rest of
the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default.
If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver under this
Agreement must be in writing.
12.6 Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and
attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any
rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this
Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this
Agreement. In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled
to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or
arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator. In the event that any case is
commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), the
Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), or any
similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred by the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the
Bank in such a case. As used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of
the Bank’s in-house counsel.
12.7 Joint and Several Liability.
(a) | Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Bank for the payment of all obligations arising under this Agreement, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other Borrower(s). Each obligation, promise, covenant, representation and warranty in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made by, and be binding upon, each Borrower, unless this Agreement expressly provides otherwise. The Bank may bring an action against any Borrower, whether an action is brought against the other Borrower(s). |
(b) | Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by the Bank to the other Borrower(s) or any guarantor will not release such Borrower from its obligations under this Agreement. |
(c) | Each Borrower waives any right to assert against the Bank any defense, setoff, counterclaim, or claims which such Borrower may have against the other Borrower(s) or any other party liable to the Bank for the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. |
(d) | Each Borrower waives any defense by reason of any other Borrower’s or any other person’s defense, disability, or release from liability. The Bank can exercise its rights against each Borrower even if any other Borrower or any other person no longer is liable because of a statute of limitations or for other reasons. |
(e) | Each Borrower agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrower(s) and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Bank to disclose to such Borrower any information which the Bank may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition of the other Borrower(s). |
(f) | Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default or nonperformance by any other Borrower under this Agreement. Each Borrower further waives all rights to notices of the existence or the creation of new indebtedness by any other Borrower and all rights to any other notices to any party liable on any of the credit extended under this Agreement. |
(g) | The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Bank that each will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from the collective administration and availability of credit under this Agreement. The Borrowers agree that the Bank will not be required to inquire as to the disposition by any Borrower of funds disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
23
(h) | Until all obligations of the Borrowers to the Bank under this Agreement have been paid in full and any commitments of the Bank or facilities provided by the Bank under this Agreement have been terminated, each Borrower (a) waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including without limitation, any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada), or any successor statute, which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other Borrower with respect to the indebtedness incurred under this Agreement; (b) waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Bank now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Bank. |
(i) | Each Borrower waives any right to require the Bank to proceed against any other Borrower or any other person; proceed against or exhaust any security; or pursue any other remedy. Further, each Borrower consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Borrower under this Agreement or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Borrower. |
12.8 Individual Liability. If the Borrower is a natural person, the Bank may proceed
against the Borrower’s business and non-business property in enforcing this and other agreements
relating to this loan. If the Borrower is a partnership, the Bank may proceed against the business
and non-business property of each general partner of the Borrower in enforcing this and other
agreements relating to this loan.
12.9 Set-Off.
(a) | In addition to any rights and remedies of the Bank provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any event of default under this Agreement, the Bank is authorized, at any time, to set off and apply any and all Deposits of the Borrower or any Obligor held by the Bank against any and all Obligations owing to the Bank. The set-off may be made irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any guaranty, and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable Deposits. |
(b) | The set-off may be made without prior notice to the Borrower or any other party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. |
(c) | For the purposes of this paragraph, “Deposits” means any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, individual or joint) and any instruments owned by the Borrower or any Obligor which come into the possession or custody or under the control of the Bank. “Obligations” means all obligations, now or hereafter existing, of the Borrower to the Bank under this Agreement and under any other agreement or instrument executed in connection with this Agreement, and the obligations to the Bank of any Obligor. |
12.10 One Agreement. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required
by this Agreement, collectively:
(a) | represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; |
(b) | replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; and |
24
(c) | are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them. |
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this
Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. Any reference in any related document to a “promissory
note” or a “note” executed by the Borrower and dated as of the date of this Agreement shall be
deemed to refer to this Agreement, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, renewed, or restated.
12.11 Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any
loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or arising directly or
indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or
committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, (c) any claim, whether well-founded or otherwise,
that there has been a failure to comply with any law regulating the Borrower’s sales or leases to
or performance of services for debtors obligated upon the Borrower’s accounts receivable and
disclosures in connection therewith, and (d) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out
of this Agreement, any such document, any such credit, or any such claim. This indemnity includes
but is not limited to attorneys’ fees (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel). This
indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of their directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of
the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of
the Borrower, due and payable immediately without demand.
12.12 Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between
the Bank and the Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered
or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the
signature page of this Agreement, or sent by facsimile to the fax numbers listed on the signature
page, or to such other addresses as the Bank and the Borrower may specify from time to time in
writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of
receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, or seven (7)
days after deposit in mail in Canada, first class, postage prepaid, (ii) if telecopied, when
transmitted, or (iii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or
mailgram), when delivered.
12.13 Headings. Article and paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect
the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement.
12.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or
convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed,
shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
agreement.
12.15 Borrower Information; Reporting to Credit Bureaus. The Borrower authorizes the Bank
at any time to verify or check any information given by the Borrower to the Bank, check the
Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. The Borrower agrees
that the Bank shall have the right at all times to disclose and report to credit reporting agencies
and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to the Borrower and/or all guarantors as is
consistent with the Bank’s policies and practices from time to time in effect.
12.16 Disposition of Schedules and Reports. The Bank will not be obligated to return any
schedules, invoices, statements, budgets, forecasts, reports or other papers delivered by the
Borrower. The Bank will destroy or otherwise dispose of such materials at such time as the Bank,
in its discretion, deems appropriate.
12.17 Returned Merchandise. Until the Bank exercises its rights to collect the accounts
receivable as provided under any security agreement required under this Agreement, the Borrower may
continue its present policies for returned merchandise and adjustments. Credit adjustments with
respect to returned merchandise shall be made immediately upon receipt of the merchandise by the
Borrower or upon such other disposition of the merchandise by the debtor in accordance with the
Borrower’s instructions. If a credit adjustment is made with respect to any Acceptable Receivable,
the amount of such adjustment
25
shall no longer be included in the amount of such Acceptable Receivable in computing the Borrowing
Base.
12.18 Verification of Receivables. The Bank may at any time, either orally or in writing,
request confirmation from any debtor of the current amount and status of the accounts receivable
upon which such debtor is obligated.
12.19 Waiver of Confidentiality. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to discuss the
Borrower’s financial affairs and business operations with any accountants, auditors, business
consultants, or other professional advisors employed by the Borrower, and authorizes such parties
to disclose to the Bank such financial and business information or reports (including management
letters) concerning the Borrower as the Bank may request.
12.20 Document Receipt Cut-Off Date. Unless this Agreement and any documents required by
this Agreement have been signed and returned to the Bank within ten (10) days after the date of
this Agreement (the “Document Receipt Cut-Off Date”), the Bank shall have the right to notify the
Borrower in writing that the Bank’s commitment to extend credit under this Agreement has expired.
If the executed Agreement and accompanying loan documents are received after the Document Receipt
Cut-Off Date, the Bank shall have a reasonable period of time after receipt of the executed
Agreement and accompanying loan documents to provide such notice.
12.21 Notice of Final Agreement.

FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR,
CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
