(a) The Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue, at any
time after the Funding Date and prior to the Termination Date, one or more irrevocable standby or

and conditions of the Standby Letter of Credit Agreement or the Commercial Letter of Credit
Agreement, as applicable.
(b) No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date later than the Maturity Date in
effect as of the date of issuance. Any request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed
to be a representation by the Borrowers that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been
satisfied as of the date of the request.
(c) If a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit when the Borrowers are unable, because a
Default Period exists or for any other reason, to obtain a Revolving Advance to pay the Obligation
of Reimbursement, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on demand and in immediately available
funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date
of the draft until payment in full, at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the Borrowers’ inability
to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole
discretion, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of
Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
(d) If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason while any Letter of Credit is
outstanding, the Borrowers shall thereupon pay the Lender in immediately available funds for
deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the L/C Amount plus any anticipated fees and
costs. If the Borrowers fail to promptly make any such payment in the amount required hereunder,
then the Lender may make a Revolving Advance against the Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to
fulfill this obligation and deposit the proceeds to the Special Account. The Special Account shall
be an interest bearing account either maintained with the Lender or with a financial institution
acceptable to the Lender. Any interest earned on amounts deposited in the Special Account shall be
credited to the Special Account. The Lender may apply amounts on deposit in the Special Account at
any time or from time to time to the Indebtedness in the Lender’s sole discretion. The Borrowers
may not withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Special Account as long as the Lender maintains a
security interest therein. The Lender agrees to transfer any balance in the Special Account to the

request was made by an individual authorized pursuant to Section 2.2(a).

the Term Note that has occurred during the fiscal year by which the Excess Cash Flow is measured;
and
(c) On the earlier of April 1, 2008 or the Termination Date of the Credit Facility, the entire
unpaid principal balance of the Term Note and all unpaid interest accrued thereon shall also be
fully due and payable.
Section 2.6 Interest; Minimum Interest Charge; Default Interest Rate; Application of
Payments; Participations; Usury.
(a) Interest. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c) and Section 2.6(f), the principal amount
of each Advance shall bear interest as a Floating Rate Advance.
(b) Minimum Interest Charge. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the
contrary, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $7,500 per calendar month
(the “Minimum Interest Charge”) during the term of this Agreement, and the Borrowers shall pay any
deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise calculated
under Section 2.6(a) on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date.
(c) Default Interest Rate. At any time during any Default Period or following the Termination
Date, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, the
principal of the Revolving Note and the Term Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate or such
lesser rate as the Lender may determine, effective as of the first day of the month in which any
Default Period begins through the last day of such Default Period, or any shorter time period that
the Lender may determine. The decision of the Lender to impose a rate that is less than the
Default Rate or to not impose the Default Rate for the entire duration of the Default Period shall
be made by the Lender in its sole discretion and shall not be a waiver of any of its other rights
and remedies, including its right to retroactively impose the full Default Rate for the entirety of
any such Default Period or following the Termination Date.
-17-
(d) Application of Payments. Payments shall be applied to the Indebtedness on the Business
Day of receipt by the Lender in the Lender’s general account.
(e) Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Advances or the
Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrowers shall be obligated to the Lender to pay the full amount
of all interest calculated under this Section 2.6, along with all other fees, charges and other
amounts due under this Agreement, regardless if such Person elects to accept interest with respect
to its participation at a lower rate than that calculated under this Section 2.6, or otherwise
elects to accept less than its prorata share of such fees, charges and other amounts due under this
Agreement.
(f) Usury. In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate
greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between
any Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall
the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges
exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature
of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in
excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held
to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of
interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by
any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrowers and the Lender. This
provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of the Loan
Documents and all agreements between any Borrower and the Lender, or their successors and assigns.
Section 2.7 Fees.
(a) Unused Line Fee. For the purposes of this Section 2.7(a), “Unused Amount” means the
Maximum Line Amount reduced by outstanding Revolving Advances and the L/C Amount. The Borrowers
agree to pay to the Lender an unused line fee at the rate of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per
annum on the average daily Unused Amount from the date of this Agreement to and including the
Termination Date, due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of the month and on the
Termination Date.

monthly accommodation fee of $300 per month from the date of this Agreement to and including the
Termination Date, due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the
Termination Date.
(c) Collateral Exam Fees. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender, on demand, fees in connection
with any collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Lender of any
Collateral or any Borrower’s operations or business, including any surveys conducted by the Lender
with respect to any Borrower prior to the execution of this Agreement, at the rates established
from time to time by the Lender as its collateral exam fees (which fees are currently $100 per hour
per collateral examiner), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and
-18-
expenses incurred in
conducting any such collateral examination or inspection; provided that, (i) until
repayment in full of the Term Note, the Lender may not conduct more than three (3) such exams in
any 12 month period unless a Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) after repayment in
full of the Term Note, the Lender may not conduct more than two (2) such exams in any 12 month

three month period is less than $3,000,000.
(d) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee with respect to each
Letter of Credit, that has been issued, if any, which fee shall be calculated on a per diem basis
at an annual rate equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate amount that may then be drawn under
the Letter of Credit, assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing (the “Aggregate Face
Amount”), from and including the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit until the date that the
Letter of Credit terminates or is returned to the Lender, which fee shall be due and payable
monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the date that the Letter of Credit
terminates or is returned to the Lender; provided, however, effective as of the
first day of the month in which any Default Period begins through the last day of such Default
Period, or any shorter time period that the Lender may determine, in the Lender’s sole discretion
and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, such fee shall increase to five percent
(5.0%) of the Aggregate Face Amount. The foregoing fee shall be in addition to any and all other
fees, commissions and charges imposed by Lender with respect to or in connection with such Letter
of Credit.
(e) Letter of Credit Administrative Fees. The Borrowers shall pay all administrative fees
charged by the Lender in connection with the honoring of drafts under any Letter of Credit,
amendments thereto, transfers thereof and all other activity with respect to the Letters of Credit
at the then-current rates published by the Lender for such services rendered on behalf of customers
of the Lender generally.
(f) Termination and Line Reduction Fees. If the Credit Facility is terminated (i) by the
Lender during a Default Period that begins before the Maturity Date, (ii) by any Borrower (A) as of
a date other than the Maturity Date or (B) as of the Maturity Date but without the Lender having
received written notice of such termination at least 90 days before such Maturity Date, or if any
Borrower reduces the Maximum Line Amount, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a fee in an amount
equal to: (A) if the termination or reduction occurs on or before April 1, 2007, two percent (2%)
of the Maximum Line Amount (or the reduction of the Maximum Line Amount, as the case may be), plus
two percent (2%) of the amount of the Term Note prepaid; (B) if the termination or reduction occurs
after April 1, 2007 but on or before April 1, 2008, one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Maximum
Line Amount (or the reduction of the Maximum Line Amount, as the case may be) plus one and one-half
percent (1.5%) of the amount of the Term Note prepaid; and (C) if the termination or reduction
occurs after April 1, 2008, one percent (1%) of the Maximum Line Amount (or the reduction of the
Maximum Line Amount, as the case may be).
(g) Waiver of Termination and Prepayment Fees. The Borrowers, at the Lender’s discretion,
will be excused from the payment of termination and prepayment fees otherwise due under this
Agreement if such termination or prepayment is made because of refinancing through another one of
the Lender’s operating divisions.
-19-
(h) Amendment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender as of the date hereof a fully earned,
non-refundable fee in the amount of $25,000 in consideration of the Lender’s execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the Lender’s waiver of certain defaults in connection with this Agreement.
(i) Other Fees and Charges. The Lender may from time to time impose additional fees and
charges as consideration for Advances made in excess of Availability or for other events that
constitute an Event of Default or a Default hereunder, including fees and charges for the
administration of Collateral by the Lender, and fees and charges for the late delivery of reports,
which may be assessed in the Lender’s sole discretion on either an hourly, periodic, or flat fee
basis, and in lieu of or in addition to imposing interest at the Default Rate.
Section 2.8 Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Business Days; Computation of
Interest and Fees.
(a) Time For Interest Payments. Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the
first day of each month and on the Termination Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest
will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of advance to the Interest Payment Date.
(b) Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated
to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.
(c) Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance
of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
Section 2.9 Lockbox and Collateral Account; Southeastern Blocked Account; Sweep of
Funds.
(a) Lockbox and Collateral Account.
(i) Each Borrower, except for Southeastern, shall instruct all of its account debtors
to pay all of its Accounts directly to the Lockbox. If, notwithstanding such instructions,
any Borrower receives any payments on Accounts, such Borrower shall deposit such payments
into the Collateral Account. Each Borrower shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of
Collateral regardless of source or nature directly into the Collateral Account. Until so
deposited, such Borrower shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of
the Lender and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property.
All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not
constitute payment of the Indebtedness. On a daily basis, amounts deposited into the
Collateral Account shall be applied toward payment of principal and interest on the
Advances.
(ii) As long as no Default has occurred and is continuing and, at all times after
January 1, 2005, the average Availability over a rolling three month period is at least
-20-
$3,000,000, Southeastern may instruct its account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to
any of Southeastern’s demand deposit accounts and may commingle such payments with any of
its other funds or property.
(iii) If a Default has occurred and is continuing or, at any time after January 1,
2005, the average Availability over a rolling three month period is less than $3,000,000,
(A) Southeastern shall immediately instruct all of its account debtors to pay all Accounts
directly to the Southeastern Blocked Account and (B) the Lender may instruct the financial
institution where the Southeastern Blocked Account has been established to transfer, on a
daily basis, all funds held in the Southeastern Blocked Account to the Lender which funds
shall be applied toward payment of principal and interest on the Advances. If,
notwithstanding such instructions by Southeastern, Southeastern receives any payments on
Accounts, Southeastern shall deposit such payments into the Southeastern Blocked Account.
Southeastern shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral regardless of source
or nature directly into the Southeastern Blocked Account. Until so deposited, Southeastern
shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of the Lender and shall not
commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. All deposits in the
Southeastern Blocked Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not
constitute payment of the Indebtedness. Southeastern shall at all times maintain the
Southeastern Blocked Account. On a daily basis, all funds held in the Southeastern Blocked
Account shall be transferred to the Lender and applied toward payment of principal and
interest on the Advances.
(iv) All items deposited in the Collateral Account and the Southeastern Blocked Account
shall be subject to final payment. If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrowers
will immediately pay the Lender, or, for items deposited in the Collateral Account or the
Southeastern Blocked Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or
such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the Borrowers’ commercial
account or other account. The Borrowers shall be liable as an endorser on all items
deposited in the Collateral Account and the Southeastern Blocked Account, whether or not in
fact endorsed by the Borrowers.
(v) Each Borrower (excluding Southeastern) acknowledges and agrees that in connection
with the execution of this Agreement, such Borrower will execute a Wholesale Lockbox and
Collection Account Agreement, at which time any Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement
previously executed by such Borrowers will terminate.
(b) Sweep of Funds. The Lender shall from time to time, in accordance with the Wholesale
Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred
to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Indebtedness. Amounts deposited in the
Collateral Account or the Southeastern Blocked Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the
Borrowers, except after payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness.
Section 2.10 Voluntary Prepayment; Reduction of the Maximum Line Amount; Termination of
the Credit Facility by the Borrower. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrowers may
prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrowers may terminate
the Credit Facility or reduce the Maximum Line Amount at any time if
-21-
they (i) give the Lender at
least 30 days advance written notice prior to the proposed Termination Date, and (ii) pay the
Lender applicable termination and Maximum Line Amount reduction fees in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Any reduction in the Maximum Line Amount shall be in multiples of $100,000, and
with a minimum reduction of at least $500,000. If the Borrowers terminate the Credit Facility or
reduce the Maximum Line Amount to zero, all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable, and
if the Borrowers give the Lender less than the required 30 days advance written notice, then the
interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate
for the period of time commencing 30 days prior to the proposed Termination Date through the date
that the Lender actually receives such written notice. If the Borrowers do not wish the Lender to
consider renewal of the Credit Facility on the next Maturity Date, then the Borrowers shall give
the Lender at least 30 days written notice prior to the Maturity Date that they will not be
requesting renewal. If the Borrowers fail to give the Lender such timely notice, then the interest
rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the
period of time commencing 30 days prior to the Maturity Date through the date that the Lender
actually receives such written notice.
Section 2.11 Mandatory Prepayment. Without notice or demand, if the sum of the
outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time
exceed the Borrowing Base, or if the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount outstanding to any one
Borrower exceeds such Borrower’s Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall (i) first, immediately prepay
the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if prepayment in
full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess, pay to the Lender in
immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the remaining
excess. Except as provided in Section 2.5, any voluntary or mandatory prepayment received by the
Lender under this Agreement may be applied to the Indebtedness, in such order and in such amounts
as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine from time to time.
Section 2.12 Revolving Advances to Pay Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the terms of
Section 2.1, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without a
Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section
4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the
Indebtedness from time to time due and payable, and may deliver the proceeds of any such Revolving
Advance to Xxxxx Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C. in satisfaction of any unpaid obligations due to
Xxxxx Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C.
Section 2.13 Use of Proceeds. Each Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances and
each Letter of Credit to repay existing debt obligations of the Borrowers and for ordinary working
capital purposes.
Section 2.14 Liability Records. The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its
discretion, records as to the Indebtedness. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed
correct until the Borrowers establish the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrowers will
admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Indebtedness that the Borrowers
then assert to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the
-22-
Lender shall be
conclusive and fully binding on the Borrowers unless the Borrowers give the Lender specific written
notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.
ARTICLE III
SECURITY INTEREST; OCCUPANCY; SETOFF
Section 3.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and
grants to the Lender for the benefit of itself and as agent for Xxxxx Fargo Merchant Services,
L.L.C., a lien and security interest (collectively referred to as the “Security Interest”) in the
Collateral, as security for the payment and performance of (a) all present and future Indebtedness
of such Borrower to the Lender; (b) all obligations of such Borrower and rights of the Lender under
this Agreement; and (c) all present and future obligations of such Borrower to the Lender of other
kinds. Upon request by the Lender, the Borrowers will grant to the Lender, for the benefit of
itself and as agent for Xxxxx Fargo Merchant Services, L.L.C. a security interest in all commercial
tort claims that any Borrower may have against any Person.
Section 3.2 Notification of Account Debtors and Other Obligors. The Lender may at any
time (whether or not a Default Period then exists) notify any account debtor or other Person
obligated to pay the amount due that such right to payment has been assigned or transferred to the
Lender for security and shall be paid directly to the Lender. The Borrowers will join in giving
such notice if the Lender so requests. At any time after the Borrowers or the Lender give such
notice to an account debtor or other obligor, the Lender may, but need not, in the Lender’s name or
in any Borrower’s name, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time
payable or receivable on account of, or securing, any such right to payment, or grant any extension
to, make any compromise or settlement with or otherwise agree to waive, modify, amend or change the
obligations (including collateral obligations) of any such account debtor or other obligor. The
Lender may, in the Lender’s name
or in any Borrower’s name, as such Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact, notify the United
States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of the Borrower’s mail to any address
designated by the Lender, otherwise intercept such Borrower’s mail, and receive, open and dispose
of such Borrower’s mail, applying all Collateral as permitted under this Agreement and holding all
other mail for such Borrower’s account or forwarding such mail to such Borrower’s last known
address.
Section 3.3 Assignment of Insurance. As additional security for the payment and
performance of the Indebtedness, the Borrowers hereby assign to the Lender any and all monies
(including proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and
all other rights of the Borrowers with respect to, any and all policies of insurance now or at any
time hereafter covering the Collateral or any evidence thereof or any business records or valuable
papers pertaining thereto, and the Borrowers hereby direct the issuer of any such policy to pay all
such monies directly to the Lender. At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the
Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in any of the Borrowers’ names, execute and
deliver proofs of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other instruments representing
payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of
any such policy. Any monies received as payment for any loss under any insurance policy mentioned
above (other than liability insurance policies) or as payment of any award or compensation for
condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be
-23-
paid over to the Lender to be applied, at the
option of the Lender, either to the prepayment of the Indebtedness or shall be disbursed to the
Borrowers under staged payment terms reasonably satisfactory to the Lender for application to the
cost of repairs, replacements or restorations. Any such repairs, replacements or restorations
shall be effected with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of
the items or property destroyed prior to such damage or destruction.
Section 3.4 Occupancy.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably grants to the Lender the right to take exclusive
possession of the Premises at any time during a Default Period without notice or consent.
(b) The Lender may use the Premises only to hold, process, manufacture, sell, use, store,
liquidate, realize upon or otherwise dispose of goods that are Collateral and for other purposes
that the Lender may in good xxxxx xxxx to be related or incidental purposes.
(c) The Lender’s right to hold the Premises shall cease and terminate upon the earlier of (i)
payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness and termination of the Credit Facility, and (ii)
final sale or disposition of all goods constituting Collateral and delivery of all such goods to
purchasers.
(d) The Lender shall not be obligated to pay or account for any rent or other compensation for
the possession, occupancy or use of any of the Premises; provided, however, that if
the Lender does pay or account for any rent or other compensation for the possession, occupancy or
use of any of the Premises, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lender promptly for
the full amount thereof. In addition, the Borrowers will pay, or reimburse the Lender for,
all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the
Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of
this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.
Section 3.5 License. Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document,
each Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to
use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights of such Borrower for the purpose of: (a)
completing the manufacture of any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such
materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously
adopted by such Borrower for its own manufacturing and subject to such Borrower’s reasonable
exercise of quality control; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all
Collateral during any Default Period.
Section 3.6 Financing Statement. Each Borrower authorizes the Lender to file from
time to time, such financing statements against collateral described as “all personal property” or
“all assets” or describing specific items of collateral including commercial tort claims as the
Lender deems necessary or useful to perfect the Security Interest. All financing statements filed
before the date hereof to perfect the Security Interest were authorized by the Borrowers and are
hereby re-authorized. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any
financing statements signed by the Borrowers is sufficient as a financing statement and may be
filed as a financing statement in any state to perfect the security interests granted hereby. For

Section 3.7 Setoff. The Lender may at any time or from time to time, at its sole
discretion and without demand and without notice to anyone, setoff any liability owed to any
Borrower by the Lender, whether or not due, against any Indebtedness, whether or not due. In
addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Indebtedness shall have the
right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to any
Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the payment of said participating interest, as
fully as if such Person had lent directly to such Borrower the amount of such participating
interest.
Section 3.8 Collateral. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts,
contract rights or chattel paper, and, as provided by law, the Borrowers are entitled to any
surplus and shall remain liable for any deficiency. The Lender’s duty of care with respect to
Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if it exercises
reasonable care in physically keeping such Collateral, or in the case of Collateral in the custody
or possession of a bailee or other third Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the
bailee or other third Person, and the Lender need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care
for any Collateral. The Lender shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Borrowers may
have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or
order or to apply any cash proceeds of the Collateral in any particular order of application. The
Lender has no obligation to clean-up or
otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Borrowers waive any right they may have to
require the Lender to pursue any third Person for any of the Indebtedness.

Each Borrower is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State listed in the first paragraph of this Agreement and is duly licensed or qualified

Interest) upon or with respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any
Borrower.
Section 5.4 Legal Agreements. This Agreement constitutes and, upon due execution by
the Borrowers, the other Loan Documents will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of

the Lender its audited financial statements for its fiscal year ended January 1, 2006 and unaudited
financial statements for the fiscal-year-to-date period ended May 28, 2006, and those statements
fairly present such Borrower’s financial condition on the dates thereof and the results of its

Since the date of the most recent financial statements, there has been no material adverse change
in such Borrower’s business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise).
Section 5.7 Litigation. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.7, there are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting any
Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the properties of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates before

any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign, which, if determined adversely to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, would
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, properties or operations of any Borrower
or any of its Affiliates.
Section 5.8 Regulation U. No Borrower is engaged in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the

Borrower is the owner of record (the “Owned Intellectual Property”). Except as disclosed on

owns or has been granted any right in the Owned Intellectual Property, (iii) all Owned Intellectual
Property is valid, subsisting and enforceable and (iv) such Borrower has taken all commercially
reasonable action necessary to maintain and protect the Owned Intellectual Property.
(b) Agreements with Employees and Contractors. Each Borrower has entered into a legally
enforceable agreement with each of its employees and subcontractors obligating each such Person to
assign to such Borrower, without any additional compensation, any Intellectual Property Rights
created, discovered or invented by such Person in the course of such Person’s employment or
engagement with such Borrower (except to the extent prohibited by law), and further requiring such
Person to cooperate with such Borrower, without any additional compensation, in connection with
securing and enforcing any Intellectual Property Rights therein; provided, however,
that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to employees and
-32-
subcontractors whose job
descriptions are of the type such that no such assignments are reasonably foreseeable.
(c) Intellectual Property Rights Licensed from Others. Schedule 5.11 is a complete list of
all agreements under which any Borrower has licensed Intellectual Property Rights from another
Person (“Licensed Intellectual Property”) other than readily available, non-negotiated licenses of
computer software and other intellectual property used solely for performing accounting, word

payments such Borrower is obligated
to make with respect thereto. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.11 and in written agreements,

Intellectual Property are free and clear of all restrictions, Liens, court orders, injunctions,
decrees, or writs, whether by written agreement or otherwise. Except as disclosed on Schedule
5.11, no Borrower is obligated or under any liability whatsoever to make any payments of a material
nature by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner of, licensor of, or other claimant to,
any Intellectual Property Rights.
(d) Other Intellectual Property Needed for Business. Except for Off-the-shelf Software and as
disclosed on Schedule 5.11, the Owned Intellectual Property and the Licensed Intellectual Property
constitute all Intellectual Property Rights used or necessary to conduct any Borrower’s business as
it is presently conducted or as such Borrower reasonably foresees conducting it.
(e) Infringement. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.11, no Borrower has knowledge of, nor has
received any written claim or notice alleging, any Infringement of another Person’s Intellectual
Property Rights (including any written claim that any Borrower must license or refrain from using
the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party) nor, to the knowledge of any Borrower, is
there any threatened claim or any reasonable basis for any such claim.

post-retirement medical or insurance benefits with respect to employees or former employees (other

law). Neither any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has received any notice or has any knowledge to
the effect that it is not in full compliance with any of the requirements of ERISA, the IRC or
applicable state law with respect to any Plan. No Reportable Event exists in connection with any
Pension Plan. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under the IRC is so qualified, and no fact or
circumstance exists which may have an adverse effect on the Plan’s tax-qualified status. Neither
any Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i) any accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in
Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the IRC) under any Plan, whether or not waived, (ii) any

condition, properties or operations.

for either any Borrower or the Lender under the common law of any jurisdiction or under any
Environmental Law, and no Hazardous Substances have ever been stored, buried, spilled, leaked,
discharged, emitted or released in, on or under the Premises in such a way as to create any such

named therein or in any Borrower’s records pertaining thereto as being obligated to pay such

but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of any

Security Documents and whether or not a foreclosure sale has occurred; and
(h) The Lender may exercise any other rights and remedies available to it by law or agreement.
If any Event of Default has occurred with respect to any Borrower, without limiting the
Lender’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law, all Advances, if any, made to such Borrower
shall not be made to Global’s demand deposit account specified in Section 2.2 but rather shall be
directed to a separate account of such Borrower approved by Lender in its sole discretion, and such
Borrower shall not be permitted to deposit any portion of such Advance into Global’s demand deposit
account specified in Section 2.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section
7.1(e) or (f), the Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable automatically without
-50-
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind. If the Lender sells any of the Collateral on
credit, the Indebtedness will be reduced only to the extent of payments actually received. If the
purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Lender may resell the Collateral and shall apply any
proceeds actually received to the Indebtedness.
Section 7.3 Certain Notices. If notice to any Borrower of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended
action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially
reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 8.3) at least ten calendar days before the
date of intended disposition or other action.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 8.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Compliance with Laws. No failure or delay
by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a
waiver thereof; 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
under the Loan Documents. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Lender may comply with any applicable state or
federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and such compliance
will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.
Section 8.2 Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom or any release
of a Security Interest shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall
entitle any Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 8.3 Notices; Communication of Confidential Information; Requests for
Accounting. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and
other communications provided for under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be (a)
personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by overnight courier of
national reputation, (d) transmitted by telecopy, or (e) sent as electronic mail, in each case
delivered or sent to the party to whom notice is being given to the business address, telecopier
number, or e mail address set forth below next to its signature or, as to each party, at such other
business address, telecopier number, or e mail address as it may hereafter designate in writing to
the other party pursuant to the terms of this Section. All such notices, requests, demands and
other communications shall be deemed to be an authenticated record communicated or given on (a) the
date received if personally delivered, (b) when deposited in the mail if delivered by mail, (c) the
date delivered to the courier if delivered by overnight courier, or (d) the date of transmission if
sent by telecopy or by e mail, except that notices or requests delivered to the Lender pursuant to
any of the provisions of Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. All
notices, financial information, or other business records sent by any party to this Agreement may
be transmitted, sent, or otherwise communicated via such medium specified
above as the sending party may deem appropriate and commercially reasonable; provided,
however, that the risk that the confidentiality or privacy of such notices, financial information,
or other business records sent by any party to this
-51-
Agreement may be compromised shall be borne
exclusively by the Borrowers. All requests for an accounting under Section 9-210 of the UCC (i)
shall be made in a writing signed by a Person authorized under Section 2.2(a), (ii) shall be
personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by
overnight courier of national reputation, (iii) shall be deemed to be sent when received by the
Lender and (iv) shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9-210. The Borrowers
request that the Lender respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come from an
authorized individual and release the Lender from any liability for so responding. The Borrowers
shall pay the Lender the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such requests.
Section 8.4 Further Documents. The Borrowers will from time to time execute, deliver,
endorse and authorize the filing of any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments,
security agreements, financing statements, control agreements and other agreements and writings
that the Lender may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security
Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that
the Borrowers execute, deliver, endorse or authorize the filing of any such item shall not affect
or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security
Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a
similar context or on a prior occasion).
Section 8.5 Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay on demand all costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the
Indebtedness , this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit and any other document or
agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all such
costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution,
amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness and all such
documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or
enforcement of the Security Interest.
Section 8.6 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section
8.5, the Borrowers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its
participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor
corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of
the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified
Liabilities”):
(i) Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any
governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the
making of the Advances;
(ii) Any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any
representation or warranty contained in Section 5.14 proves to be incorrect in any respect
or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 6.11(b); and
-52-
(iii) Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits,
claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative,
administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a
party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee,
in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances
and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.
If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is
brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrowers, or counsel
designated by the Borrowers and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action,
suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrowers’
sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of
any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the
Borrowers shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each
of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrowers’
obligations under this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
discharge of the Borrowers’ other obligations hereunder.
Section 8.7 Participants. The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners
or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any
obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically
conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender’s participants,
successors or assigns.
Section 8.8 Execution in Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement and
other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed
and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure
to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and
binding effect of this Agreement.
Section 8.9 Retention of the Borrowers’ Records. The Lender shall have no obligation
to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings, or other papers
delivered to the Lender by the Borrowers or in connection with the Loan Documents for more than 30
days after receipt by the Lender. If
there is a special need to retain specific records, the Borrowers must inform the Lender of
its need to retain those records with particularity, which must be delivered in accordance with the
notice provisions of Section 8.3 within 30 days of the Lender taking control of same.
Section 8.10 Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Sharing Information. The
Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lender and
their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers shall not have the
-53-
right to assign any of their respective rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior
written consent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrowers waive and will not assert against
any assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which the Borrowers could assert against the Lender.
This Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower.
This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement
of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral,
on the subject matter hereof. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement contradicts other
provisions of the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall control. Without limiting the Lender’s right
to share information regarding the Borrowers and their Affiliates with the Lender’s participants,
accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender may share any and all information they may have
in their possession regarding the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and the Borrowers waive any right
of confidentiality it may have with respect to such sharing of information.
Section 8.11 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof.
Section 8.12 Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose.
Section 8.13
Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Loan
Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than
conflict laws) of the State of
Colorado . The parties hereto hereby (i) consent to the personal
jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of
Colorado in connection with
any controversy related to this Agreement; (ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum is
not convenient; (iii) agree that any litigation initiated by the Lender or the Borrowers in
connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be venued in either the state or
federal courts located in the City and County of Denver,
Colorado; and (iv) agree that a final
judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Section 8.14 Attorneys’ Fees. References in the Loan Documents to fees and expenses of attorneys or counsel shall include
all such fees and expenses, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration or
administrative proceeding, in bankruptcy (including, without limitation, any adversary proceeding,
contested matter or motion) or otherwise incurred.
Section 8.15 Joint and Several Liability. All obligations of Global, Excell,
Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI under this
Agreement (including the Indebtedness), the Notes, the other Loan Documents, and any other
instrument, agreement or document delivered to the Lender by any of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS,
Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI, shall be (a) joint and
several and (b) the primary obligation of each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM,
Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI. All references to the term “Borrower”
herein shall refer to each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR,

-54-
jointly and all such Persons
shall be bound both severally and jointly with the others. The Indebtedness shall include all
debts, liabilities and obligations owed to the Lender by any of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS,
Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI solely or by all or any of
them jointly or jointly and severally. Each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM,

several liability on the Indebtedness is absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be

generality of the foregoing, the joint and several liability of each of Global, Excell, Friendly,
TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI on the Indebtedness
shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Lender of any other security for or guarantors upon
the Indebtedness or by any failure, neglect or omission on the Lender’s part to resort to any one
or all of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII,
SEIV, SEV and SEVI’s payment of the Indebtedness or to realize upon or protect any collateral
security therefor. The joint and several liability of each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS,
Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI on the Indebtedness shall
not in any manner be impaired or affected by who receives or uses the proceeds of the Advances or

are used, and each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII,
SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI waives notice of Advance requests issued by, and Advances made to, any of
Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and
SEVI. Such joint and several liability of each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern,
SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI shall also not be impaired or affected
by (and the Lender, without notice to anyone, is hereby authorized to make from time to time) any
sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence,
alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or disposition of any collateral
security for the Indebtedness or of any guaranty thereof. In order to enforce payment of the
Indebtedness, foreclose or otherwise realize on any Collateral, or exercise any other rights
granted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under applicable law, the Lender shall be
under no obligation at any time to first resort to any Collateral, Liens, or any other property,
rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Lender shall have the right to enforce the
Indebtedness irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps are pending, seeking
resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing. Each of Global, Excell, Friendly, TPS,
Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR, SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI hereby agrees not to

part by one (or more) of them. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right of
recovery against each of Global,
-55-
Excell, Friendly, TPS, Southeastern, SPM, Main Line, BHR, SGHR,
SEII, SEIII, SEIV, SEV and SEVI under this Agreement shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest

TAX MATTERS
Placer Staffing, Inc. (“Placer”) is an inactive subsidiary of Southeastern Staffing, Inc. Placer
is current in its taxes and has no assets nor liabilities. We are currently working on dissolving
Placer which process involves filing Placer’s final tax returns for the fiscal years 2005
(otherwise scheduled to be due in September 2006 according to Placer’s regular filing schedule) and
2006 (for time period January 1, 2006 until dissolution) with the State of California. We will not
know the extent of Placer’s tax liability for those years until our accountants have completed the
tax returns. However, we expect Placer’s tax liability for those years to be zero, although Placer
will be liable for any applicable annual fees.
