(e) Each definition of a document in this Agreement shall include such document as amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.3 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are by reference made a part hereof.

Section 2. Purchase & Sale of Accounts.

(a) Seller hereby offers to sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to FGI, as absolute owner, in accordance with the procedure detailed herein, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to Seller’s Foreign Accounts; provided at no time shall the maximum aggregate amount paid by FGI for Accounts purchased from Seller outstanding on FGI’s books exceed the Facility Amount.

(b) All Foreign Accounts shall be submitted to FGI on a Schedule of Accounts listing each Foreign Account separately. The Schedule of Accounts shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2(b) or in such other form as required by FGI, and shall be signed by a person acting or purporting to act on behalf of Seller. At the time the Schedule of Accounts is presented, Seller shall also deliver to FGI one copy of a sales contract, purchase order, and invoice for each Foreign Account together with evidence of shipment, furnishing and/or delivery of the Goods or rendition of service(s).

(c) Any and all Purchased Accounts shall be purchased on either a Credit Approved or with Full Recourse basis, as determined by FGI in its sole and absolute discretion. In the absence of written Credit Approval, the Purchased Accounts shall be purchased at Full Recourse. If Goods are shipped or services are provided based on a verbal approval, it is Seller’s responsibility to ensure that such approval is received in writing in a timely manner. Credit Approval(s) may be withdrawn, either orally or in writing, in FGI’s sole and absolute discretion at any time if, in FGI’s opinion, an Account Debtor’s credit standing or ability to perform with respect to the applicable Account becomes impaired before actual delivery of Goods or rendering of services. Credit Approval(s) shall be limited to the specific terms and amounts indicated, and, notwithstanding any information subsequently provided to Seller by FGI, such Credit Approval(s) are automatically rescinded and withdrawn if the terms of sale vary from the terms approved by FGI, or if the terms of sale are changed by Seller without FGI’s written Credit Approval on the new terms, or if the Purchased Account is not assigned to FGI within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice, or if the amount of outstanding Accounts of an Account Debtor exceed the maximum Credit Approval amount for the Account Debtor as determined by FGI from time to time. Seller further acknowledges that if Seller ships Goods or provides services to an Account Debtor who has outstanding Accounts from Seller, and such Account Debtor’s credit line and/or outstanding Credit Approval(s) have been withdrawn by FGI, and the Accounts created thereby, whether or not they are sold and assigned to FGI, exceed 10% of the amount Accounts purchased from Seller outstanding on FGI’s books, that any Credit Approvals applying to those Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books are automatically deemed cancelled and all outstanding Purchased Accounts from that Account Debtor are with Full Recourse.

(d) With regard to sales without Credit Approval or deemed without Credit Approval, Seller agrees that any payments or credits applying to any Account owing by such Account Debtor will be applied: first, to any Credit-Approved Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books, if any; second, to any Full Recourse Purchased Accounts outstanding on FGI’s books; and, third, to any Accounts outstanding on Seller’s books. This order of payment applies regardless of the respective dates the sales occurred and regardless of any notations on payment items.

(e) If FGI fails to collect a Purchased Account within ninety (90) days of its maturity for which Credit Approval has been given, FGI shall pay to Seller the Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Account within a reasonable time period, subject to the terms and provisions stated herein. At the sole discretion of FGI, Seller may have the option to repurchase any such Purchased Account for which Credit Approval has been granted. Any Purchased Account for progress payments, work-in-process, freight,

samples or miscellaneous sales (including, without limitation, the sale of Goods and/or in quantities not regularly sold by Seller) is always assigned to FGI at Full Recourse, notwithstanding any written Credit Approval from FGI.

(f) FGI shall have no liability of any kind for declining or refusing to give, or for withdrawing, revoking, or modifying, any Credit Approval pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or for exercising or failing to exercise any rights or remedies FGI may have under this Agreement or otherwise. In the event FGI declines to give Credit Approval on any order received by Seller from an Account Debtor and in advising Seller of such decline FGI furnishes Seller with information as to the credit standing of the Account Debtor, such information shall be deemed to have been requested of FGI by Seller and FGI’s advice containing such information is recognized as a privileged communication. Seller agrees that such information shall not be given to Seller’s customers or to Seller’s sales representative(s). If necessary, Seller shall merely advise its customer(s) that credit has been declined on the Account and that any questions should be directed to FGI. Each Full Recourse Account(s) assigned to and purchased by FGI is with full recourse to Seller and at Seller’s sole credit risk. FGI shall have the right to charge back to Seller’s Reserve Account the amount of such Full Recourse Accounts at any time and from time to time either before or after their maturity. Seller agrees to pay FGI upon demand the full amount thereof, together with all expenses incurred by FGI up to the date of such payment, including reasonable attorney’s fees in attempting to collect or enforce such payment or payment of such Account(s). FGI’s Credit Approval shall only begin after the first 15% of all Purchased Accounts relating to each Account Debtor. For purposes of determining FGI’s Credit Approval hereunder, the Purchased Account(s) balance due FGI from any given Account Debtor shall be calculated as the aggregate amount owed by that Account Debtor less any credits to which such Account Debtor may be entitled, and is not to be construed to mean individual invoices owed by that Account Debtor.

Section 3. Purchase Price and Fees.

(a) The purchase price that FGI shall pay to Seller for each Purchased Account shall equal the Net Invoice Amount thereof less FGI’s fees, as specified below. No discount, credit, allowance or deduction with respect to any Purchased Account, unless shown on the face of an invoice, shall be granted or approved by Seller to any Account Debtor without FGI’s prior written consent.

(b) The purchase price (as computed above), less (i) any Required Reserve Amount or credit balance that FGI, in FGI’s sole and absolute discretion, determines to hold, (ii) moneys remitted, paid, or otherwise advanced by FGI to or on behalf of Seller (including any amounts which FGI reasonably determines that Seller may be obligated to pay in the future), and (iii) any other charges provided for by this Agreement, shall be payable by FGI to Seller on the Date of Collection.

(c) FGI shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to withhold the Required Reserve Amount, and may increase or decrease the Required Reserve Amount or Reserve Percentage at any time and from time to time if FGI deems it necessary to do so in order to protect FGI’s interests. In no event shall Seller permit a Reserve Shortfall to occur. FGI may charge against the Reserve Account any amount for which Seller may be obligated to FGI at any time, whether under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise, including but not limited to the repayment of any over advance, any damages suffered by FGI as a result of Seller’s breach of any provision of Section 4 hereof (whether intentional or unintentional), any adjustments due and any attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements due. Seller recognizes that the Reserve Account may, in FGI’s sole discretion, represent bookkeeping entries only and not cash funds. It is further agreed that with respect to the balance in the Reserve Account, FGI is authorized to withhold, without giving prior notice to Seller, such payments and credits otherwise due to Seller under the terms of this Agreement for reasonably anticipated claims or to adequately satisfy reasonably anticipated obligation(s) Seller may owe FGI. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or, in the event Seller shall cease selling Accounts to FGI, FGI shall be under no obligation to pay the amount maintained in the Reserve Account until all Accounts listed on all Schedules of Accounts have been collected or FGI has determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it will make no further efforts to collect any Accounts and all sums due FGI hereunder have been paid.

(d) In FGI’s sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, FGI may from time to time advance to Seller against the purchase price of Purchased Accounts purchased by FGI hereunder, sums up to 75% of the aggregate purchase price of Purchased Accounts outstanding at the time any such advance is made, less: (i) any such Purchased Accounts that are in dispute; (ii) any such Purchased Accounts that are not credit approved; (iii); any such Purchased Accounts aged ninety (90) days or more past invoice date; and (iv) any fees, actual or estimated, that are chargeable to the Reserve Account. Any advance shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in subsection (e) below from the date such advance is made until the date FGI would otherwise be obligated hereunder to pay the purchase price of the Purchased Account(s) against which such advance was made.

(e) Interest upon the daily total outstanding balance of any Purchased Account shall be charged to Seller’s Reserve Account at a rate greater of 8.00% per annum or 3.00% above the rate of interest designated by FGI as its selected “Prime Rate” or “Base Rate’, as the case may be (which as of the date hereof is based upon the Wall Street Journal, Money Rates Section which is subject to change) on the net daily balance of all outstanding Purchased Accounts. In the event that the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish a Prime Rate, then the Prime Rate shall be the average of the three largest U.S. money center commercial banks, as determined by FGI. All such interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. Any adjustment in FGI’s interest rate, whether downward or upward will become effective on the day in which the prime rate of interest is decreased or increased. If during any month, a net credit balance (i.e., the reserve or credit balance exceeds outstanding Accounts), then Seller agrees to credit FGI’s reserve account as of the last day of each month with interest at a rate equal to 3.00% above the Prime Rate.

(f) Seller shall unconditionally pay and FGI shall be entitled to receive a one time non-refundable facility fee in an amount equal $100,000 payable in immediately available funds upon signing of the Agreement.

(g) Seller shall unconditionally pay and FGI shall be entitled to receive a non-refundable monthly collateral management fee equal to 0.58% of the average monthly balance of Purchased Accounts; with such fee charged monthly to Seller’s Reserve Account or if funds are not available therein, payable by Seller on demand.

(h) The minimum monthly net funds employed during each contract year hereof shall be $2,500,000; any deficiency will be subject to a Deficiency Assessment.

(i) IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AS TO ALL PURCHASED ACCOUNTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL CONSTITUTE A TRUE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACCOUNT(S) UNDER § 9-318 OF THE UCC AND AS SUCH, THE SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE INTEREST IN THE ACCOUNTS SOLD. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THIS TRANSACTION IS CHARACTERIZED AS A LOAN, THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND TO CONTRACT IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE USURY LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. IN FURTHERANCE THEREOF SUCH PARTIES STIPULATE AND AGREE THAT NONE OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EVER BE CONSTRUED TO CREATE A CONTRACT TO PAY, FOR THE USE, FORBEARANCE OR DETENTION OF MONEY, INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM RATE (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT. NEITHER SELLER, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON HEREAFTER BECOMING LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE ADVANCES, SHALL EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY OBLIGATION THAT MAY BE CHARACTERIZED AS UNEARNED INTEREST THEREON OR SHALL EVER BE REQUIRED TO PAY ANY OBLIGATION THAT MAY BE CHARACTERIZED AS INTEREST THEREON IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT MAY BE LAWFULLY CHARGED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL CONTROL OVER ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH MAY BE IN CONFLICT THEREWITH. IF ANY INDEBTEDNESS OR OBLIGATION OWED BY SELLER HEREUNDER

IS DETERMINED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE LEGAL MAXIMUM, OR FGI SHALL OTHERWISE COLLECT MONEYS WHICH ARE DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE INCREASE THE INTEREST ON ALL OR ANY PART OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS TO AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THAT PERMITTED TO BE CHARGED BY APPLICABLE LAW THEN IN EFFECT, THEN ALL SUCH SUMS DETERMINED TO CONSTITUTE INTEREST IN EXCESS OF SUCH LEGAL LIMIT SHALL, WITHOUT PENALTY, BE PROMPTLY APPLIED TO REDUCE THE THEN OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS OR, AT FGI’S OPTION, RETURNED TO SELLER OR THE OTHER PAYOR THEREOF UPON SUCH DETERMINATION. IF AT ANY TIME THE RATE AT WHICH INTEREST IS PAYABLE HEREUNDER EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM RATE, THE AMOUNT OUTSTANDING HEREUNDER SHALL CEASE BEARING INTEREST UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INTEREST ACCRUED HEREUNDER EQUALS (BUT DOES NOT EXCEED) THE MAXIMUM RATE APPLICABLE HERETO. AS USED IN THIS SECTION, THE TERM “APPLICABLE LAW” MEANS THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH THE SELLER RESIDES, WHICHEVER LAW ALLOWS THE GREATER RATE OF INTEREST, AS SUCH LAWS NOW EXIST OR MAY BE CHANGED OR AMENDED OR COME INTO EFFECT IN THE FUTURE AND THE TERM “MAXIMUM RATE” MEANS THE MAXIMUM NONUSURIOUS RATE OF INTEREST THAT FGI IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE ADVANCES.

(j) Upon FGI’s acceptance of each Purchased Account, FGI shall be the sole owner and holder of such Purchased Account. Seller hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to FGI all of its right, title and interest in and to each Purchased Account effective at the time of acceptance thereof by FGI. Seller agrees to execute and deliver to each Account Debtor obligated under a Foreign Account such written notice of sale of the Purchased Account as FGI may request in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3(j) or in such form as required by FGI.

(k) FGI shall provide Seller online access via a secured website to information on the Purchased Accounts and a reconciliation of the relationship relating to billing, collection and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution and mailing of statements in the ordinary course of FGI’s business. All of the foregoing shall be in a format and in such detail, as FGI, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate. Furthermore, FGI’s books and records shall be admissible in evidence without objection as prima facie evidence of the status of the Purchased and non-purchased Accounts and Reserve Account between FGI and Seller. Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by FGI to Seller, if any, and all online information shall be deemed conclusively accurate and binding on Seller unless within twenty-one (21) days after the date of issuance or posting Seller notifies FGI to the contrary by registered or certified mail, setting forth with specificity the reasons why Seller believes such statement, report, or accounting is inaccurate, as well as what Seller believes to be correct amount(s) therefore. FGI’s failure to provide or Seller’s failure to receive such online access shall not relieve Seller of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the responsibility of Seller to request such statement and Seller’s failure to do so shall nonetheless bind Seller to whatever FGI’s records would have reported.

Section 4. Seller’s Representations and Covenants. Seller, as well as each of Seller’s principals, represent, warrant and covenant, jointly and severally, to FGI that:

(a) Seller is either a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other form of registered Person, is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified and authorized to do business and is in good standing in all states in which such qualification and good standing are necessary or desirable.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement does not and will not constitute a violation of any applicable law, violation of Seller’s articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational documents and does not and will not constitute any material breach of any other document, agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound.

(c) Seller has all requisite power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, and has taken all proper and necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(d) Immediately prior to the execution and at the time of delivery of each Schedule of Account, Seller is the sole owner and holder of each of the Foreign Accounts described thereon and that upon FGI’s acceptance of each Purchased Account; FGI shall become the sole owner and holder of such Purchased Account(s).

(e) No Purchased Account shall have been previously sold or transferred or be subject to any lien, encumbrance, security interest or other claim of any kind of nature. Seller will not factor, sell, transfer, pledge or give a security interest in any of its Foreign Accounts to anyone other than FGI. There are no financing statements now on file in any public office covering any Collateral of Seller of any kind, real or personal, in which Seller is named in or has signed as the debtor, except the financing statement or statements filed or to be filed in respect of this Agreement or those statements now on file or otherwise specifically listed on Schedule 4(e) attached hereto. Seller will not execute any security agreement or authorize the filing of any financing statement in favor of any other Person, except FGI, during the Term of this Agreement.

(f) The amount of each Purchased Account is due and owing to Seller and represents an accurate statement of a bona fide sale, delivery and acceptance of Goods or performance of service by Seller to or for an Account Debtor. The terms for payment of Purchased Accounts are no greater than sixty (60) days from date of invoice and the payment of such Purchased Accounts is not contingent upon the fulfillment by Seller of any further performance of any nature whatsoever. Each Account Debtor’s business is solvent to the best of Seller’s knowledge.

(g) There are and shall be no set-offs, allowances, discounts, deductions, counterclaims, or disputes with respect to any Purchased Account, either at the time it is accepted by FGI for FGI or prior to the date it is to be paid. Seller shall inform FGI, in writing, immediately upon learning that there exists any Foreign Account, which is subject to a Dispute. Seller shall accept no returns and shall grant no allowance or credit to any Account Debtor without the prior written consent of FGI. On the first business day of each calendar week, Seller shall provide to FGI for each Account Debtor who is indebted on a Purchased Account that has been purchased, a weekly report in a form and substance satisfactory to FGI itemizing all such returns and allowances made during the previous week with respect such Purchased Accounts and at FGI’s option a check (or wire transfer) payable to FGI for the amount thereof or in FGI’s sole and exclusive discretion, FGI may accept the issuance of a Credit Memo and apply same to the Reserve Account.

(h) Seller’s address, as set forth in any Application submitted to FGI, is Seller’s mailing address, its chief executive office, principal place of business and the office where all of the books and records concerning the Purchased Accounts are maintained which shall not be changed without giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to FGI.

(i) Seller shall maintain its books and records in accordance with GAAP and shall reflect on its books the absolute sale of the Purchased Accounts to FGI. Seller shall furnish FGI, upon request, such information and statements, as FGI shall request from time to time and at any time regarding Seller’s business affairs, financial condition and results of its operations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall provide FGI, on or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day of each month, unaudited financial statements with respect to the prior month and, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each of Seller’s fiscal years, annual financial statements and such certificates relating to the foregoing as FGI may request including, without limitation, a monthly certificate from the president and chief financial officer of Seller stating that no Event of Default exists or if an Event of Default has occurred stating in detail the nature of the Event(s) of Default. Seller will furnish to FGI upon request a current listing of all

open and unpaid accounts payable and Foreign Accounts, and such other items of information that FGI may deem necessary or appropriate from time to time.
