3. LINE OF CREDIT, OTHER LOANS, INTEREST AND PAYMENTS

3.1 Revolving Line of Credit.

(a) From time-to-time prior to the expiration of the Term, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred or if an Event of Default has occurred, the Event of Default has been timely remedied, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, in its Discretion Lender will make Revolving Loans to Borrowers in amounts Borrowers request, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans may not exceed the lesser of the Revolving Advance Limit or the Borrowing Base.

(b) Borrowers may request Revolving Loans by submitting a signed, completed Borrowing Base Certificate to Lender, no later than 12:00 p.m. Central time on the Business Day of the proposed Revolving Loan advance. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will make the proceeds of the requested Revolving Loan advance available to Borrowers on the day requested by transferring funds to Borrower’s Operating Account or as otherwise instructed by Borrowers.

(c) Although Borrowers may execute a promissory note in favor of Lender to evidence the Revolving Loans, a copy of Lender’s books and records related to the Revolving Loans will constitute prima facie evidence of the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans absent manifest error. The Revolving Loans will be due and payable upon the earlier of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the expiration of the Term.

(d) If an Overadvance exists, Borrowers must immediately make a principal reduction payment(s) of the excess to Lender as required to reduce the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans such that no Overadvance exists.

3.2 Interest.

(a) Interest Rates. The aggregate outstanding amount of all Obligations will bear interest at the monthly rate set forth in Section 1.1 and all interest will be payable on the first day of each month in arrears. Any interest not paid when due will be compounded and will thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable to the Obligations. All interest will be calculated based on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Default Interest. The aggregate outstanding amount of the Obligations will bear interest from and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without constituting a waiver of any Event of Default, at the rate of three percent (3.0%) per annum above the otherwise applicable rate.

(c) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the interest rates payable under the Loan Documents, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and Lender, in executing and delivering the Loan Documents, intend to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within the Loan Documents. However, if the rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and will be liable only for the payment of the maximum as allowed by law, and payments received from Borrowers in excess of the legal maximum, whenever received, will be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of the excess.

3.3 Cross Defaults and Cross Collateralization. A default under any Loan Document is a default under all Loan Documents. All Collateral secures all Obligations.

3.4 Payments.

(a) All payments, including any prepayments, by Borrowers on account of principal, interest, fees, or other Obligations must be made without setoff or counterclaim to Lender at the address specified on the first page of this Agreement in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If any payment under this Agreement is due on a day other than a day which is a Business Day, its due date will be extended to the next Business Day, and with respect to payments of principal and interest thereon, will be payable at the then-applicable rate during the extension.

(b) Borrowers hereby authorize Lender, at its option, to pay interest and the fees called for by Section 1.4 when due and without notice, and Expenses, upon three days' prior notice by making a Revolving Loan, which amounts thereafter will accrue interest at the rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans.

3.5 Crediting Payments. For the purpose of calculating Borrowing Base availability for Revolving Loans, the receipt by Lender of any wire transfer or electronic funds transfer of funds, check or other item of payment will be applied the next Business Day to provisionally reduce the Obligations, but the receipt will not be considered a payment on account unless the wire transfer or electronic funds transfer is of immediately available federal funds and is made to the appropriate Blocked Account or unless and until any check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. In the event any check or other item of payment is not honored when presented for payment, Borrowers will be deemed not to have made the payment. Any wire transfer, electronic funds transfer, check or other item of payment received by Lender after 5:00 pm Central time will be deemed to have been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day for purposes of calculating interest and Borrowing Base availability.

3.6 The Borrower Representative. Parent is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers (and hereby accepts its appointment) as each Borrower’s contractual representative under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, and each Borrower irrevocably authorizes Parent to act as Borrower’s contractual representative with the rights and duties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Parent agrees to act as the contractual representative and to promptly provide to Borrowers any notices delivered by Lender under the Loan Documents. Additionally, Borrowers hereby appoint Parent as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans in Parent’s operating account, at which time Parent will disburse the Revolving Loans among Borrowers and the U.K. Affiliates as agreed by Borrowers. Lender and its officers, directors, agents and employees, will not be liable to Parent or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Parent or Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.6. Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Parent as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower to Parent on behalf of all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice or communication made on its behalf by Parent will be deemed for all purposes to have been made by each Borrower and will be binding upon and enforceable against each Borrower to the same extent as if it had been made directly by each Borrower.

3.7 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) All Obligations will be joint and several, and each Borrower will make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and the obligation and liability of each Borrower will in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Lender to any Borrower, failure of Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and the agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse (or lack thereof) by Lender to the other Loan Parties or any Collateral for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and all actions, inactions or omissions by any one or more, or all, of Borrowers in connection with, related to or otherwise affecting this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and inure to and are binding upon, each and all of Borrowers, jointly and severally.

(c) Each covenant, agreement, obligation, representation and warranty of Borrowers contained in any Loan Document constitutes the joint and several undertaking of each Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges that the obligations of Borrower undertaken in the Loan Documents may be construed to consist, at least in part, of the guarantee of obligations of the other Borrowers and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time without notice or demand, whether before or after any actual or purported termination, repudiation or revocation of this Agreement by any Borrower, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Agreement as to any Borrower (but subject to the written consent of Borrowers with respect to subsections (i) and (ii), to the extent Lender does not have the unilateral right to make the changes under the terms of the Loan Documents as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise):

(i)

supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease, extend, renew or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of this Agreement or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;

(ii)

supplement, restate, modify, amend, increase, decrease or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, this Agreement or any part thereof, or any of the Loan Documents, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;

(iii)

accept partial payments;

(iv)

release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer or enforce any security or guarantees, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine;

(v)

release any person or entity from any personal liability with respect to this Agreement or any part thereof;

(vi)

settle, release on terms satisfactory to Lender or by operation of applicable law or otherwise liquidate or enforce any security or guaranty in any manner, consent to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; or

(vii)

consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate or partnership existence of any Borrower, or any other person or entity, and correspondingly restructure the obligations evidenced hereby, and any merger, change, restructuring or termination will not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any part of the obligations evidenced hereby.

(d) Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis with the U.K. Affiliates to the same extent possible as if they were merged into a single corporate entity and that this Agreement reflects the establishment of credit facilities which would not otherwise be available to Borrower if Borrower were not jointly and severally liable for payment of the obligations; (ii) it has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of Lender hereunder and a desire of Borrowers that each Borrower execute and deliver to Lender this Agreement; and (iv) Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees if Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder, or if any liens or security interest securing the joint and several liability, would, but for the application of this Section 3.7(d), be unenforceable under applicable law, the joint and several liability and each lien and security interest will be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent that would not cause the joint and several liability or the lien or security interest to be unenforceable under applicable law, and the joint and several liability and the liens and security interest will be deemed to have been automatically amended accordingly at all relevant times. To the extent that any Borrower, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repays any of the Obligations that benefited another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making the Accommodation Payment will be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and, be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of the other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of the Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is the other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower will be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against the Borrower hereunder without (A) rendering the Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (B) leaving the Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or (C) leaving the Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification and reimbursement under this Section will be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section will, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede the inconsistent provisions.

Lender will have the right, at any time and whether or not an Event of Default exists, to contact directly any Account Debtors to ensure that payments on their Accounts owing to Borrower are directed to the Lockboxes or the Blocked Accounts. If, contrary to Borrowers’ or Lender’s instructions, any payments are received by any Borrower from an Account Debtor, Borrowers will hold those payments as trustee of an express trust, for Lender’s benefit and those payments may not be commingled with Borrowers’ other funds and will be deposited promptly by Borrowers to a Blocked Account. All payment items from Account Debtors will be the exclusive property of Lender upon the receipt thereof by Lender. Borrowers hereby grant to Lender a lien and security interest upon all items and balances held in the Lockboxes and Blocked Accounts as security for the payment of the Obligations.

Lender will give Borrowers and each holder of a security interest in the Collateral who has filed with Lender a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and place of public sale or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;

(ii)

The notice will be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrowers as provided in Section 11.8 at least ten days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value.

11. GENERAL TERMS

11.1 Expenses, Fees and Costs; Indemnification.

(a) Borrowers are responsible for the payment of all Expenses. Borrowers also agree to indemnify Lender for any and all Claims that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or the business relationship between Lender and Borrowers or Guarantors, except for Claims arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) Borrowers’ obligation to pay the Expenses and all of the reimbursement and indemnification obligations provided for in this Section 11.1 are part of the Obligations, are secured by all of the Collateral, and survive the repayment of the Obligations.

However, persons or entities that succeed to the rights of a Borrower under this Agreement will not be entitled to enforce any rights or remedies of a Borrower under or by reason of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement referred to or incorporated by reference into this Agreement, unless they have obtained Lender’s prior written consent to succeed to those rights.

11.3 Assignments and Participations. Borrowers consent to Lender’s sale of participations in the Loans or an assignment of all or any partial interest in the Loans and Loan Documents to any third party. Each Borrower also acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and the assignee will, for purposes of Section 11.1, be considered to be a “Lender.” Further, in connection with the sale of participation or an assignment of any interest in the Obligations, Lender will be free to provide the participant or assignee, on a confidential basis, any financial or other information in its possession or control related to Borrowers.

11.4 Waivers by Borrowers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard, (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender’s taking possession or control of, or to Lender’s replevin, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral, and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

(b) To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower agrees the it will not assert, and hereby waives, any Claim against Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. Lender will have no liability to Borrowers (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any litigation, Lender will be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Agreement. Each Borrower: (i) certifies that neither Lender nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that Lender would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and (ii) acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Section 11.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

11.5 Anti Waiver; Amendments; and Cumulative Remedies Provisions. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power or right, and no course of dealing between Borrowers and Lender, will operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor will any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies which may be available to Lender at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on Loan Parties not required hereunder or under any note or other agreement will in any event entitle Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of Lender or the holder of any note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any note or other agreement, and any consent to any departure by Borrowers from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, any note or other agreement, will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.
