3. INTEREST RATE.
3.1 Interest on the Line. Interest on outstanding Line Advances will accrue from the date of advance until final payment thereof at the rate per annum which is one of the two (2) interest rates options set forth below, subject to the restrictions and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement:
(a) the LIBOR Based Rate; or
(b) the Prime Based Line Rate.
3.2 Interest on the Term Loan. Interest on the entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan will accrue at rate per annum which is equal to the Prime Based Term Rate.
3.3 Request for LIBOR Rate. If Borrowers desire that all or part of the Line Advances accrue interest at the LIBOR Based Rate, Borrowing Agent shall give Bank a LIBOR Rate Notification. Upon delivery of a LIBOR Rate Notification, that portion of the principal balance outstanding under the Line identified in such LIBOR Rate Notification shall accrue interest at the LIBOR Based Rate as follows: (a) with respect to the principal amount of any new Line Advance from the date of such Advance until the end of the Rate Period specified in such LIBOR Rate Notification; and/or (b) with respect to all or any portion of Line Advances outstanding and accruing interest at another LIBOR Based Rate at the time of the LIBOR Rate Notification related to such Advances, from the expiration of the then current Rate Period related to such Advances until the end of the Rate Period specified in such LIBOR Rate Notification; and/or (c) with respect to all or any portion of the Line Advances outstanding and accruing interest at the Prime Based Rate at the time of the LIBOR Rate Notification related to such Advances, from the date set forth in such LIBOR Rate Notification until the end of the Rate Period specified in such LIBOR Rate Notification.
3.4 Certain Provisions Regarding LIBOR Rates. Borrowers understand and agree that: (a) subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the LIBOR Based Rate may apply simultaneously to different portions of the outstanding principal of the Line; (b) the LIBOR Based Rate may apply simultaneously to various portions of the outstanding principal of the Line for various Rate Periods; (c) the Rate Periods for the LIBOR Based Rate shall be either one (1), two (2), or three (3) months; (d) the LIBOR Based Rate applicable to any portion of the outstanding principal of the Line may be different from the LIBOR Based Rate applicable to any other portion of the outstanding principal of the Line; (e) individual portions of the Line accruing interest at the LIBOR Based Rate must be in amounts of at least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) each and in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); and (f) the LIBOR Based Rate shall not be available at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default.
3.5 Prime Based Rate Fall Back. After expiration of any Rate Period, any principal portion of the Line corresponding to such Rate Period which has not been converted or renewed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall accrue interest automatically at the Prime Based Rate from the date of expiration of such Rate Period until paid in full, unless and until receipt by Bank of a request for another interest rate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
3.6 LIBOR Based Rate Borrowings. No more than three (3) separate borrowings in the aggregate accruing interest at the LIBOR Based Rate may be outstanding at any one time under the Line. If at any time Borrowers elect the LIBOR Based Rate as the applicable rate of interest for the Term Loan, such rate shall be applicable to the entire principal balance of the Term Loan.
3.7 LIBOR Unlawful. In the event that, as a result of any changes in applicable law or regulation or the interpretation thereof, it becomes unlawful for Bank to maintain or fund any Advance at the LIBOR Based Rate, then Bank shall immediately notify Borrowing Agent thereof and Bank’s obligation to make, convert to, or maintain any Advance at the LIBOR Based Rate shall be suspended until such time as Bank may again cause the LIBOR Based Rate to be applicable and, until such time, Advances subject to the LIBOR Based Rate shall accrue interest at the Prime Based Rate. Promptly after becoming aware that it is no longer unlawful for Bank to maintain or fund Advances at the LIBOR Based Rate, Bank shall notify Borrowing Agent thereof and such suspension shall cease to exist.
3.8 LIBOR Based Rate Unascertainable or Unavailable. If, at any time, Bank in good faith shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that the LIBOR Based Rate is unavailable or adequate means for ascertaining the LIBOR Based Rate do not exist, Bank shall promptly notify Borrowing Agent of such determination. Upon such determination, the right of Borrowing Agent to select, maintain and/or convert to the LIBOR Based Rate shall be suspended until notice from Bank that the LIBOR Based Rate is again available or ascertainable and, until such time, all outstanding Advances under the Line and the Term Loan shall accrue interest at the Prime Based Rate.
3.9 Default Interest. Interest will accrue on the principal balance of each of the Loans after the occurrence of an Event of Default or expiration of the Contract Period at a rate which is three percent (3%) in excess of the applicable rate of interest in effect for such Loan from time to time (the “Default Rate”).
3.10 Post Judgment Interest. Any judgment obtained for sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the applicable default rate set forth above until paid.
3.11 Calculation. Interest will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
3.12 Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law (including the choice of law rules) and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrowers. Such refund will be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Bank may
determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Bank. Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrowers. Borrowers agree, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.
4. PAYMENTS AND FEES.

Borrowers will pay interest on outstanding (a) Prime Rate Advances monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month commencing the first day of the first calendar month following the date hereof and (b) LIBOR Rate Advances monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month commencing the first day of the first calendar month following the date hereof and on the last day of each Rate Period.

If Borrowers request an extension of the Contract Period, Bank reserves the right, inter alia, to amend the termination fees for subsequent periods as a condition of any extension of the Line, together with such other conditions as Bank shall require.
In the event Bank exercises its right to accelerate payments under the Term Loan following an Event of Default or otherwise, any tender of payment of the amount necessary to repay all or part of the Term Loan made thereafter at any time by Borrowers, their successors or assigns, or by anyone on behalf of Borrowers and any receipt by Bank of proceeds of Collateral in payment of the Term Loan shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment and in connection therewith Bank shall be entitled to receive the premium required to be paid under the foregoing prepayment restrictions.
(c) Term Loan Co-Terminus with Line. In the event the Line is terminated for any reason including, without limitation, as a result of an Event of Default, expiration of the Contract Period, pre-payment by Borrowers or otherwise, the entire outstanding principal balance of each of the Term Loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other sums due pursuant to the terms hereof shall be due and payable immediately.
4.9 Payment Method. Borrowers irrevocably authorize Bank to debit all payments required to be made by Borrowers hereunder or under any of the Loans on the date due from any deposit account maintained by any Borrower with Bank or to charge any or all of such payments as a Line Advance. Otherwise, Borrowers will be obligated to make such payments directly to Bank. All payments are to be made in immediately available funds. If Bank accepts payment in any other form, such payment shall not be deemed to have been made until the funds comprising such payment have actually been received by or made available to Bank.
4.10 Application of Payments. Any and all payments on account of any of the Loans will be applied to accrued and unpaid interest, outstanding principal and other sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents, in such order as Bank, in its discretion, elects. If Borrowers make a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.
4.11 Loan Account. Bank will open and maintain on its books a loan account (the “Loan Account”) with respect to Advances made, repayments, prepayments, the computation and payment of interest and fees and the computation and final payment of all other amounts due and sums paid to Bank under this Agreement. Except in the case of demonstrable error in computation, the Loan Account will be conclusive and binding on Borrowers as to the amount at any time due to Bank from any Borrower under this Agreement.
4.12 Indemnity; Loss of Margin. Borrowers will indemnify Bank against any loss or expense which Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any failure of Borrowers to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense it will from time to time notify Borrowing Agent in writing of the amount determined in good faith by the Bank to be necessary to indemnify Bank for the loss or expense. Such amount will be due and payable by Borrowers to Bank within ten (10) days after presentation by Bank of a statement setting forth a brief explanation of and Bank’s calculation of such amount, which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent
manifest error. Any amount payable to the Bank under this Section will bear interest at the highest default rate payable hereunder from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.

(a) subjects Bank to any tax with respect to any amounts payable under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any Borrower or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (except for taxes on the overall net income of Bank imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof); or
(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit, capital maintenance, capital adequacy, or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans or Advances or commitment to make loans or Advances by, or letters of credit issued or commitment to issue letters of credit by, the Bank; or
(c) imposes upon Bank any other condition with respect to Advances or extensions of credit or the commitment to make Advances or extensions of credit under this Agreement,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs of Bank, reduce the income receivable by or return on equity of Bank or impose any expense upon Bank with respect to any Advances or extensions of credit or commitments to make Advances or extensions of credit under this Agreement, Bank shall so notify Borrowers in writing. Borrowers agree to pay Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense within ten (10) days after presentation by Bank of a statement concerning such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense. Such statement shall set forth a brief explanation of the amount and Bank’s calculation of the amount (in determining such amount the Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods), which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error. If the amount set forth in such statement is not paid within ten (10) days after such presentation of such statement, interest will be payable on the unpaid amount at the highest default rate payable hereunder from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.
4.13 LIBOR Indemnity. Borrowers shall indemnify Bank against any loss or expense (including loss of margin) which Bank has sustained or incurred as a consequence of (a) payment, prepayment or conversion of any portion of any LIBOR Rate Advances on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Rate Period (even if such payment is pursuant to demand by Bank pursuant to this Agreement and whether or not any such payment, prepayment or conversion is consented to by Bank); or (b) attempt by Borrowers to revoke in whole or in part any irrevocable LIBOR Rate Notification pursuant to this Agreement.
If any such loss is sustained, Bank shall from time to time notify Borrowing Agent of the amount determined in good faith by Bank (which determination shall be conclusive) to be necessary
to indemnify Bank for such loss or expense. Such amount shall be due and payable by Borrowers on demand.

In the case of insurance on any of the Collateral, each Borrower shall carry insurance in the full insurable value thereof and cause Bank to be named as insured mortgagee with respect to all real property, loss payee (with a lender’s loss payable endorsement) with respect to all personal property, and additional insured with respect to all liability insurance, as its interests may appear with thirty (30) days’ notice to be given Bank by the insurance carrier prior to cancellation or material modification of such insurance coverage.
Each Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Bank the insurance policies therefor or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance and at least thirty (30) business days prior to the expiration of any such insurance, additional policies or duplicates thereof or, in the alternative, evidence of insurance evidencing the renewal of such insurance and payment of the premiums therefor.

Provided that Bank has requested information from Borrowers, and Borrowers fail to provide such information in a timely manner, each Borrower further authorizes all federal, state and municipal authorities to furnish to Bank copies of reports or examinations relating to such Borrower, whether made by such Borrower or otherwise.
The officers of Bank, or such Persons as any of them may designate, may, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, visit and inspect any of the properties of each Borrower, examine (either by Bank’s employees or by independent accountants) any of the Collateral or other assets of each Borrower, including the books of account of each Borrower, and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Borrower with its officers and with its independent accountants, at such times as Bank may desire. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank will provide Borrowers with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any such inspection but, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall not be entitled to any prior notice of any such inspection. Additionally, Bank may obtain updated appraisals of the Collateral at any time at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense.
Bank may conduct at any time and from time to time, and Borrowers will fully cooperate with, field examinations of the inventory, accounts receivable and business affairs of each Borrower. Bank intends to conduct three (3) such field examinations per year but may conduct more or fewer field examinations as Bank, in its sole discretion may determine. Borrowers shall pay Bank Eight Hundred Dollars ($800.00) per person, per day for each field examination, plus all of Bank’s out-of-pocket costs in connection with each such examination, provided however prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will only be responsible for the fees, costs and expenses in connection with four (4) field examinations per year. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank will provide Borrower with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any field examination but, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not be entitled to any prior notice of any field examination. At Bank’s option all costs, expenses and charges owing under this Section 7.13 may be charged as a Line Advance.
7.14 Default Under Other Indebtedness. No Borrower will permit any of its Indebtedness to be in default. If any Indebtedness of a Borrower is declared or becomes due and payable before its expressed maturity by reason of default or otherwise or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, the holder of any such Indebtedness shall have the right (or upon the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, shall have the right) to declare such Indebtedness to be so due and payable, such Borrower will immediately give Bank written notice of such declaration, acceleration or right of declaration.
7.15 Pension Plans. Each Borrower will (a) keep in full force and effect any and all Plans which are presently in existence or may, from time to time, come into existence under ERISA, unless such Plans can be terminated without material liability to such Borrower in connection with such termination (as distinguished from any continuing funding obligation); (b) make contributions to all of such Borrower’s Plans in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to comply with the requirements of ERISA; (c) comply with all material requirements of ERISA which relate to such Plans so as to preclude the occurrence of any Reportable Event, Prohibited Transaction or material “accumulated funding deficiency” as such term is defined in ERISA; and (d) notify Bank immediately upon receipt by such Borrower of any notice of the institution of any proceeding or other action which may result in the termination of any Plan and deliver to Bank, promptly after the filing or receipt thereof, copies of all reports or notices which such Borrower files or receives under ERISA with or from the Internal Revenue Service, the PBGC, or the U.S. Department of Labor.

Except as may occur in connection with the Embedded Wind-Down, Borrowers will cause their business to be continuously managed by their present management or such other persons (serving in such management positions) as may be reasonably satisfactory to Bank. Borrowers will notify Bank promptly in writing of any change in its board of directors or executive officers.
7.18 Amendment to Organizational or Governing Documents. Borrowers shall not make any amendment to their organizational or governing documents without providing Bank
with thirty (30) day’s prior notice thereof. Borrowers will provide Bank with a copy of any proposed amendments to any such documents prior to adoption. Borrowers will not cause or permit any corporate division or similar event with respect to such Borrowers.
7.19 Dividends. No Borrower will (a) redeem, repurchase or otherwise make any payment, distribution, or dividend to acquire any of its equity interests or (b) pay dividends or distributions on account of its equity interests; provided, however, that in the event any Borrower is then a corporation with a valid S corporation election in effect or a limited liability company and no Default or Event of Default has occurred, and the payment of such dividend or distribution would not result in a Default or Event of Default, such Borrower may, from time to time, pay and declare dividends or distributions to its shareholders or members in amounts sufficient to pay the taxes payable by such shareholders or members resulting solely from the income generated by such Borrower. Borrowers will advise the Bank in writing of any Borrower’s intent to make a dividend or distribution permitted hereunder and a calculation of the shareholder’s or member’s applicable tax rates at least ten (10) days prior to payment of such dividend or distribution, and will provide the Bank with such information related thereto as Bank may request. Borrowers shall submit to Bank for Bank’s review all tax returns filed by them together with an analysis of the income of Borrowers taxable to any Borrower’s shareholders or members and the tax rates applicable thereto. In the event (x) the actual distribution to shareholders or members made pursuant to this Section 7.19 exceeds the actual income tax liability of any shareholder or member due to such Borrower’s status as a limited liability company or S corporation, or (y) if such Borrower was a subchapter C corporation, such Borrower would be entitled to a refund of income taxes previously paid as a result of a tax loss during a year in which such Borrower is a limited liability company or S corporation, then the applicable shareholders or members shall repay such Borrower the amount of such excess or refund, as the case may be, no later than the date the annual tax return must be filed by such Borrower (without giving effect to any filing extensions).
7.20 Transactions with Affiliates. No Borrower will enter into or conduct any transaction with any Affiliate except on terms that would be usual and customary in a similar transaction between Persons not affiliated with each other and except as disclosed to Bank. No Borrower will make any loans or extensions of credit to any of its Affiliates, shareholders, directors or officers, except for the existing loans described in Schedule 7.20 attached hereto. Each Borrower will cause all of its Indebtedness at any time owed to its Affiliates, shareholders, directors and officers to be subordinated in all respects to all present and future Bank Indebtedness and will not make any payments thereon, except as approved by Bank in writing.

Each Borrower will, at its sole cost, take such actions and provide Bank from time to time with such agreements, financing statements and additional instruments, documents or information as the Bank may in its discretion deem necessary or advisable to perfect, protect, maintain or enforce the security interests in the Collateral, to permit Bank to protect or enforce its interest in the Collateral, or to carry out the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to take such actions as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder, to execute on such Borrower’s behalf and file at Borrowers’ expense financing statements, and amendments thereto, in those public offices deemed necessary or appropriate by Bank to establish, maintain and protect a continuously perfected security interest in the Collateral, and to execute on such Borrower’s behalf such other documents and notices as Bank may deem advisable to protect the Collateral and its interests therein and its rights hereunder. Such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable.
7.25 Title to Equipment. Each Borrower will within thirty (30) days of acquisition of any equipment, have Bank’s lien noted on any and all evidence of ownership, certificates of title, or applications for title for any such equipment and provide Bank with all original certificates of title or other evidence of ownership.
7.26 Accounts Receivable.

(e) Bank may enter any premises occupied by any Borrower and take possession of the Collateral and any records relating thereto; and/or
(f) Bank may exercise each and every right and remedy granted to it under the Loan Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code and under any other applicable law or at equity.
If an Event of Default occurs under Section 13.1(e) or (f), all Bank Indebtedness shall become immediately due and payable.
13.3 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral. The sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by Bank after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Bank may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set-off the amount of such purchase price against the Bank Indebtedness then owing. Any sales of the Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Bank may cause the Collateral to remain on any Borrower’s premises or otherwise or to be removed and stored at premises owned by other persons, at Borrowers’ expense, pending sale or other disposition of the Collateral. Borrowers, at Bank’s request, shall assemble the Collateral consisting of inventory and tangible assets and make such assets available to Bank at a place to be designated by Bank. Bank shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Borrower’s premises, at Borrowers’ expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as Bank may see fit. Any notice required to be given by Bank of a sale, lease or other disposition or other intended action by Bank with respect to any of the Collateral which is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid and duly addressed to Borrowers at the address specified in Section 14.1 below, at least five (5) business days prior to such
proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to Borrowers of any such action. The net proceeds realized by Bank upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, transporting, preparing for sale, selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral incurred by Bank in connection therewith and all other costs and expenses related thereto including attorney fees, shall be applied in such order as Bank, in its sole discretion, elects, toward satisfaction of the Bank Indebtedness. Bank shall account to Borrowers for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect Bank’s security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers agree that Bank has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other parties. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right to use, after an Event of Default, without charge, each Borrower’s labels, general intangibles, intellectual property, equipment, real estate, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any inventory or other Collateral and each Borrower’s rights under all contracts, licenses, approvals, permits, leases and franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit. Bank shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Bank Indebtedness.
13.4 Actions with Respect to Accounts. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Bank (and any of Bank’s designated officers, employees or agents) as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, with power to sign its name and to take any of the following actions, in its name or the name of Bank, as Bank may determine, without notice to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense:
(a) Verify the validity and amount of or any other matter relating to the Collateral by mail, telephone, telecopy or otherwise;
(b) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, notify all account debtors that such Borrower’s accounts have been assigned to Bank and that Bank has a security interest therein;
(c) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, direct all account debtors to make payment of all such Borrower’s accounts directly to Bank and forward invoices directly to such account debtors;
(d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of such accounts;
(e) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, notify the United States Postal Service to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Borrower to such address as Bank may designate;
(f) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, have access to any lockbox or postal boxes into which such Borrower’s mail is deposited and receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Borrower (any sums received pursuant to the exercise of the rights provided in Sections 13.4 (a) through (f) above may, at Bank’s option, be deposited in the cash collateral account provided for herein);
(g) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, take control in any manner of any rejected, returned, stopped in transit or repossessed goods relating to any accounts;
(h) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, enforce payment of and collect any accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and for such purpose Bank may:
(1) Demand payment of any accounts or direct any account debtors to make payment of accounts directly to Bank;
(2) Receive and collect all monies due or to become due to such Borrower;
(3) Exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of accounts;
(4) Settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge or release the accounts;
(5) Sell or assign the accounts on such terms, for such amount and at such times as Bank deems advisable;
(6) Prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name or names on any Proof of Claim or similar document in any proceeding filed under federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law as to any account debtor;
(7) Prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name or names on any Notice of Lien, Claim of Mechanic’s Lien, Assignment or Satisfaction of Lien or Mechanic’s Lien or similar document in connection with the Collateral;
(8) Endorse the name of such Borrower upon any chattel papers, documents, instruments, invoices, freight bills, bills of lading or similar documents or agreements relating to the accounts or goods pertaining thereto or upon any checks or other media of payment or evidences of a security interest that may come into Bank’s possession;
(9) Sign the name of such Borrower to verifications of accounts and notices thereof sent by account debtors to such Borrower; or
(10) Take all other actions necessary or desirable to protect such Borrower’s or Bank’s interest in the accounts.
Borrowers ratify and approve all acts of said attorneys and agrees that said attorneys shall not be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law, except willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable. Each Borrower agrees to assist the Bank in the collection and enforcement of its accounts and not to hinder, delay or impede the Bank in its collection or enforcement of said accounts.
13.5 Set-Off. Without limiting the rights of Bank under applicable law, Bank has and may exercise a right of set-off, a lien against and a security interest in all property of each
Borrower now or at any time in Bank’s possession in any capacity whatsoever, including but not limited to any balance of any deposit, trust or agency account, or any other bank account with Bank, as security for all Bank Indebtedness. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Bank may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Bank to or for the credit of any Borrower against any or all of the Bank Indebtedness and the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents.
13.6 Turnover of Property Held by Bank. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes any Affiliate of Bank, upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, at the request of Bank and without further notice, to turnover to Bank any property of such Borrower held by such Affiliate, including without limitation, funds and securities for such Borrower’s account and to debit, for the benefit of Bank, any deposit account maintained by such Borrower with such Affiliate (even if such deposit account is not then due or there results a loss or reduction of interest or the imposition of a penalty in accordance with law applicable to the early withdrawal of time deposits), in the amount requested by Bank up to the amount of the Bank Indebtedness, and to pay or transfer such amount or property to Bank for application to the Bank Indebtedness.
13.7 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Bank to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof or impair any such right, remedy, power or privilege. No waiver of any Event of Default shall affect any later Event of Default or shall impair any rights of Bank. No single, partial or full exercise of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges by the Bank shall preclude further or other exercise thereof. No course of dealing between Bank and any Borrower shall operate as or be deemed to constitute a waiver of Bank’s rights under the Loan Documents or affect the duties or obligations of Borrowers.
13.8 Remedies Cumulative; Consents. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges in Bank’s favor at law or in equity. Whenever Bank’s consent or approval is required, such consent or approval shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of Bank.
13.9 Certain Fees, Costs, Expenses, Expenditures and Indemnification. Borrowers agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses of Bank, including without limitation:
(a) all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents, and the other documents to be delivered in connection therewith, or any amendments, extensions and increases to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses, and the cost of appraisals and reappraisals of Collateral), and the cost of periodic lien searches and tax clearance certificates, as Bank deems advisable;
(b) all losses, costs and expenses in connection with the enforcement, protection and preservation of the Bank’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, or any other agreement relating to any Bank Indebtedness, or in connection with legal advice relating to the rights
or responsibilities of Bank (including without limitation court costs, attorney’s fees and expenses of accountants and appraisers); and
(c) any and all stamp and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and all liabilities to which Bank may become subject as the result of delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes.
In the event any Borrower shall fail to pay taxes, insurance, assessments, costs or expenses which it is required to pay hereunder, or fails to keep the Collateral free from security interests or liens (except as expressly permitted herein), or fails to maintain or repair the Collateral as required hereby, or otherwise breaches any obligations under the Loan Documents, Bank in its discretion, may make expenditures for such purposes and the amount so expended (including attorney’s fees and expenses, filing fees and other charges) shall be payable by Borrowers on demand and shall constitute part of the Bank Indebtedness.
With respect to any amount required to be paid by Borrowers under this Section, in the event Borrower fails to pay such amount on demand, Borrowers shall also pay to Bank interest thereon at the highest default rate set forth herein.
Borrowers agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Bank and Bank’s officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such Person is a party to any litigation), including attorney’s fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the use of any proceeds advanced hereunder, the transactions contemplated hereunder, or any claim, demand, action or cause of action being asserted against any Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Borrowers’ obligations under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Bank Indebtedness.
13.10 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in Borrowers’ performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
13.11 Acknowledgement of Confession of Judgment Provisions. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE NOTES AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTAIN PROVISIONS WHEREBY BANK MAY ENTER JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AGAINST SUCH BORROWER. BEING FULLY AWARE OF ITS RIGHTS TO PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING ON THE QUESTION OF THE VALIDITY OF ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST IT BY BANK UNDER THE NOTES AND LOAN DOCUMENTS BEFORE JUDGMENT CAN BE ENTERED, EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES THESE RIGHTS AND AGREES AND CONSENTS TO BANK ENTERING JUDGMENT AGAINST BORROWER BY CONFESSION. ANY PROVISION IN A CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS FOR AN ATTORNEY’S COLLECTION COMMISSION SHALL IN NO WAY LIMIT BORROWERS’ LIABILITY TO REIMBURSE BANK FOR ALL LEGAL FEES ACTUALLY INCURRED BY BANK, EVEN IF SUCH FEES ARE IN EXCESS OF THE ATTORNEY’S COLLECTION COMMISSION PROVIDED FOR IN SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT.
14. COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES.
14.1 Communications and Notices.

(a) all errors, defects and imperfections in such proceedings;
(b) all benefits under any present or future laws exempting any property, real or personal, or any part of any proceeds thereof from attachment, levy or sale under execution, or providing for any stay of execution to be issued on any judgment recovered under any of the Loan Documents or in any replevin or foreclosure proceeding, or otherwise providing for any valuation, appraisal or exemption;

(c) Any diminution in value of the Collateral; or
(d) Any act or default of another Person.
Bank shall only be liable for any act or omission on its part constituting willful misconduct. In the event that Bank breaches its required standard of conduct, Borrowers agree that its liability
shall be only for direct damages suffered and shall not extend to consequential or incidental damages. In the event any Borrower brings suit against Bank in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder and Bank is found not to be liable, Borrowers will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Bank in connection with such suit. This Agreement is not intended to obligate Bank to take any action with respect to the Collateral or to incur expenses or perform any obligation or duty of any Borrower.
16. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
16.1 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and irrevocably agrees that, subject to the Bank’s election, all actions or proceedings relating to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be litigated in such courts, and each Borrower waives any objection which it may have based on lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court and waives personal service of any and all process upon it, and consents that all such service of process be made by mail or messenger directed to it at the address set forth in Section 14.1. Nothing contained in this Section 16.1 shall affect the right of Bank to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of Bank to bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
17. USA PATRIOT ACT PROVISIONS.
17.1 USA Patriot Act Notice. Bank hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Bank shall incur no liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Bank to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Bank and holds Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Bank by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Bank on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Bank with respect to this Section 18 except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party.
All agreements, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be the joint and several obligation of each Borrower, and each Borrower shall make payment upon the maturity of the Bank Indebtedness by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Bank to any Borrower, failure of Bank to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Bank to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Bank of any Collateral now or hereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant hereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Bank to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Bank Indebtedness or the lack thereof.
