WHEREAS,
the
Borrower has requested a line of credit from the Lender which will be a
revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $3,000,000.00 (the “Maximum
Amount”)
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS,
the
Borrower has agreed to evidence this Agreement and advances made pursuant to
this Agreement (each an “Advance”)
by
delivering a note (the “Note”)
dated
the date hereof in the form attached as Exhibit

to this

NOW,
THEREFORE,
the
Lender and the Borrower do hereby agree as follows:
1. Amount
of Borrowing.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lender shall make available
to the Borrower from the date hereof until the date which is 12 months from
the
date of initial funding pursuant to this Agreement (the “Maturity
Date”),
as
may be extended pursuant to Section 8(a) of this Agreement, a credit facility,
which in aggregate will not exceed the Maximum Amount, on a revolving basis.
Each Advance under this Agreement shall be in an amount equal to or greater
than
$100,000. Advances granted pursuant to this Agreement shall be evidenced by
the
Note.
2. Interest.
(a) Subject
to Sections 2(b) and 3 of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay interest
on
the unpaid principal amount of each Advance under this Agreement from the date
of such Advance until payment in full at the Interest Rate per annum defined
herein, provided that the entire outstanding principal balance of all Advances,
plus interest accrued thereon, is due and payable on the Maturity Date, unless
this Agreement is extended pursuant to Section 8(a) of this Agreement. An
“Interest Period” shall be one calendar month. The interest rate (the
“Interest
Rate”)
applicable to each Advance drawn down or outstanding during an Interest Period
shall be equal to the three month LIBOR rate as published on the first date
of
such month in the “Money Rates” section of The
Wall Street Journal
(rounded up or down to the nearest one-sixteenth of one percent) plus 700 basis
points (7.0%) as such Interest Rate may be otherwise modified as provided for
in
this Agreement. Interest shall be computed on a 30/360 day basis. Each change
in
the Interest Rate under this Agreement shall take effect as of the date of
any
change in the LIBOR Rate as of the first day of every month.
1
(b) If
the
Borrower breaches the Purchase Order Covenant set forth in Section 16(a)(v)
of
this Agreement, applicable Interest Rate under this Agreement shall increase
by
200 basis points (2%).
3. Default
Rate.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other
document related to this Agreement (the “Loan
Documents”),
after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and without
notice or demand, all principal, interest and other amounts owing under the
Loan
Documents shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the
applicable Interest Rate then borne by any Advance, as forth in Section 2(a)
or
2(b) of this Agreement, plus four percent (4%) (“Default
Rate”).
4. Payment
of Interest.
Interest on each Advance shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day
of
each month after the delivery of such Advance until payment in full, provided
that the entire outstanding principal balance of all Advances, plus interest
accrued thereon, is due and payable on the Maturity Date (as may be extended).
5. Availability.
At no
time shall the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note exceed
the
Maximum Amount.
6. Drawdowns.
By
12:00 p.m., New York City time, two (2) business days prior to the date of
any
requested future advance hereunder, Borrower shall submit to the Lender a
written notification by facsimile transmission as to the principal amount to
be
drawn. The Lender shall provide the Borrower with the requested Advance within
two (2) business days of receipt of such request from the Borrower.
7. Payments.
All
payments shall be made as provided for in the Note.
8. Repayments.

anything contained herein to the contrary, all outstanding drawings shall be
repaid in full upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Maturity Date, unless,
the

to 1.25% of the unpaid principal balance of the Advances or the Maturity Date
is
further extended in the sole discretion of the Lender, or (b) an Event of
Default hereunder.
2
(b) Drawdowns
that are repaid in part or in full will be available for redrawing so long
as
the total aggregate drawings shall not exceed the Maximum Amount at any one
time. The fact that the Borrower has, at any time and from time to time, repaid
all outstanding amounts shall not prohibit the Borrower from thereafter drawing
down additional amounts pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) The
Borrower may, upon at least 3 business days’ prior written notice to the Lender
(effective upon receipt), repay any portion of the unpaid principal balance
advanced hereunder together with accrued interest up to and including the date
of repayment; provided,
however,
no such
prepayment may be in an amount of less than $100,000.
(d) Subject

as applicable, of principal and interest on the Advances, and each payment
on
account of any other fees, charges or other amounts payable under this Agreement
or under the Note shall be paid by the Borrower without set-off or counterclaim

however,
that,
as to the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected, if the
laws applicable to the Lender permit it to charge or collect a higher rate
than
the laws of the State of New York, then such law applicable to the Lender shall
apply to the Lender under this Agreement.

The
Borrower hereby irrevocably consents that any legal action or proceeding against
him, or any of its property, arising out of or in any way connected with the
Loan Documents may be instituted in any state or United States Federal court
located in the State of New York, and the Borrower hereby submits to the

commence any legal action or proceeding or to obtain execution of judgment
in
any appropriate jurisdiction.

Waiver.
The Borrower and the Lender hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding

whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement.
(e) Waiver.
No
failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or

11
(f) Assignment
and Transfer.
The
Lender may at any time assign or transfer in whole or in part its interest

fullest extent permitted by law, to 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 the Lender to or for the credit or
the
account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the Note, irrespective of
whether or not such obligations may be unmatured. The Lender agrees promptly
to
notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of
such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are
in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.
(h) Notices.
Any

personally delivered and shall be deemed delivered upon receipt of refusal
of
delivery.

If any
term contained in this Agreement, the Note or the Warrant shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the remaining
terms hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Anything in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Borrower to
pay
interest on the principal amount of the Note shall be subject to the limitation
that no payment of such interest shall be required to the extent that receipt
of
such payment would be contrary to the applicable usury laws.
