The receipt of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment by Lender immediately shall be applied to provisionally reduce the Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such wire transfer is of immediately available federal funds and is made to the appropriate deposit account of Lender or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Should any check or item of payment not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment, and interest shall be recalculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any wire transfer, check, or other item of payment shall be deemed received by Lender only if it is received into Lender’s account on or before 2.00 p.m. prevailing Pacific Time.

(b) All such policies of insurance shall be in such form, with such companies, and in such amounts as have been historically maintained. Borrowers shall deliver to Lender certified copies of such policies of insurance and evidence of the payment of all premiums therefor. All proceeds payable under any such policy shall be payable to Lender to be applied on account of the Obligations.
6.4 No Setoffs or Counterclaims. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents made by or on behalf of Borrowers shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any federal, state, or local taxes.
6.5 Compliance with Laws. Borrowers shall comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any governmental authority, including the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Americans With Disabilities Act, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, would not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), finances, or prospects of Borrowers or on the value of the Collateral to Lender.
13
6.6 Leases. Except as otherwise provided by a confirmed plan of reorganization or liquidation, and to the extent permitted or required under the Bankruptcy Code (e.g., there shall be no such obligations with regard to rejected leases), Borrowers shall promptly pay when due all rents and other amounts payable under any true leases (including all channel leases) to which Borrowers are a party. To the extent that Borrowers fail to make payment of such rents and other amounts payable when due under such leases, Lender shall be entitled, in its discretion, and without the necessity of declaring an Event of Default, to reserve an amount equal to such unpaid amounts from the Maximum Amount or the availability under Section 2.1 hereof.
6.7 Use of Cash. Borrowers shall use any and all available cash or cash equivalents in their possession for payment of expenses and other obligations then due and payable or as they come due and payable, as identified in the Budget prior to requesting an advance hereunder.
6.8 Financial Covenants.
(a) On a cumulative basis commencing as of the Petition Date, measured as of June 22, 2005, and on the first business day every other week thereafter at no time shall Borrowers shall realize (i) less than 90% of “gross receipts” as set forth in the Budget or (ii) more than 105% of the “gross expenses” as set forth in the Budget, unless such covenant is waived in writing by Lender.
(b) At no time, unless waived in writing by the Lender, shall be the “Net Weekly Bookings Average” or “Net Weekly Shipments Average,” each measured on a 8-week trailing average beginning as the Petition Date, be less than One Million Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,350,000), unless such covenant is waived in writing by Lender. For purposes of this subsection, “Net Weekly Bookings Average” shall mean the 8-week trailing average of those certain purchase orders designated as eligible Accounts by Borrowers pursuant to Borrowers’ existing pre-petition internal credit evaluation policy, and “Net Weekly Shipments Average” shall mean the 8-weekly trailing average obligations of customers of Borrowers designated as eligible Accounts by Borrowers pursuant to Borrowers’ existing prepetition internal credit evaluation policy, at the time of shipment pursuant to an outstanding purchase order.
7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
Any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:
7.1 If Borrowers fail to pay when due and payable or when declared due and payable, any portion of the Obligations (whether of principal, interest (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on the Obligations), fees and charges due Lender, reimbursement of Lender Expenses, or other amounts constituting Obligations);
7.2 If any material portion of Borrowers’ properties or assets is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of
14
any third Person, and such attachment, seizure, writ, warrant, or levy is not released, discharged, or bonded against within fifteen days of the date it first arises;
7.3 If a trustee is appointed in any of Borrowers’ Cases, if any of Borrowers’ Cases are converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or if any of Borrowers’ Cases are dismissed;
7.4 If a plan of reorganization of Borrowers, other than an Acceptable Plan, is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court;
7.5 If there is a default in one or more agreements which are material to the business operations of Borrowers, and to which Borrowers are parties with one or more third Persons and such Persons have obtained relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code;
7.6 If Borrowers are enjoined, restrained, or in any way prevented by court order from continuing to conduct all or any material part of their business affairs;
7.7 If the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the Bidding Procedures Order on or before June 28, 2005, or such other future date as may be agreed in writing between Lender and Borrowers or does not approve the Approval Order on or before July 27, 2005, or such future date as may be agreed in writing between Lender and Borrowers;
7.8 If the Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason by either party, or Borrowers are in default under any term of the Purchase Agreement;
7.9 If any material misstatement or misrepresentation exists now or hereafter in any warranty, representation, statement, or report made pursuant to this Agreement to Lender by Borrowers, or if any such material warranty or representation is withdrawn; or
7.10 If the Interim Bankruptcy Order or the Final Bankruptcy Order cease to remain in full and effect, except for such modifications thereto acceptable to Lender.
8. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
8.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, at its election, without notice of its election and without demand, but subject to any applicable terms and conditions set forth in the Bankruptcy Court Order do any one or more of the following, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:
(a) Declare all Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;
(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrowers and Lender;
15
(c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of Lender, but without affecting Lender’s rights and security interests in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations;
(d) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts and upon terms which Lender considers advisable, and in such cases, Lender will credit Borrowers’ loan account with only the net amounts received by Lender in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all Lender Expenses incurred or expended in connection therewith;
(e) Without notice to or demand upon Borrowers, make such payments and do such acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral or its security interests in the Collateral. Borrowers agree to assemble the Collateral if Lender so requires, and to make the Collateral available to Lender as Lender may designate. Borrowers authorize Lender to enter the premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any encumbrance, charge, or lien that in Lender’s determination appears to be prior or superior to its security interests and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. With respect to any of Borrowers’ owned or leased premises, Borrowers hereby grant Lender a license to enter into possession of such premises and to occupy the same, without charge, for up to one hundred twenty (120) days in order to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies provided herein, at law, in equity, or otherwise;
(f) Without notice to Borrowers (such notice being expressly waived), and without constituting a retention of any collateral in satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrowers held by Lender, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers held by Lender;
(g) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, 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 Collateral and Borrowers’ rights under all channel leases or subleases, all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit;
(h) Apply to the Bankruptcy Court upon proper notice to Borrowers, Borrowers’ counsel, counsel for the official creditors committee in such cases, and the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware and any other parties entitled to special notice under the Local Rules for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, for one or more of the following forms of relief: (i) appointment of an examiner for Borrowers; (ii) appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee for Borrowers; (iii) conversion of any of Borrowers’ Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (iv) dismissal of any of Borrowers’ Cases. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of Lender to apply to the Bankruptcy Court for such other or further relief as may be justified and appropriate, and nothing in this paragraph
16
shall limit the other rights and remedies of Lender provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document;
(i) Sell the Collateral at either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrowers’ premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;
(j) Lender shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as follows:
(1) Lender shall give Borrowers, any committee appointed in the Borrowers’ Cases, the United States Trustee, 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 of the Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made;
(2) The notice shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrowers as provided in Section 10.4, at least five (5) days before the date fixed for the sale, or at least five (5) days before the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made; no notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market. Notice to Persons other than Borrowers claiming an interest in the Collateral shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Lender;
(3) If the sale is to be a public sale, Lender also shall give notice of the time and place by publishing a notice one time at least five (5) days before the date of the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the sale is to be held;
(k) Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public sale;
(l) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrowers. Any excess will be returned, interest and subject to the rights of third Persons, by Lender to Borrowers; and
(m) In addition to the foregoing rights in this Section 8.1, Lender shall have all other rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity pursuant to any other Loan Documents, including any lease assignments, lease mortgages, and real property mortgages or deeds of trust.
8.2 Repayment from Third Party Deposits. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, should the Bankruptcy Court approve a Bid (as defined in the Bidding Procedure Order) other than the Bid submitted by Lender, the Obligations, along with the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement), shall be paid to Lender within two (2) Business Days after such approval. Such payment shall be made by Borrowers directly from such other bidder’s Deposit (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order) held by Borrowers.
17
8.3 Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Lender shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Bankruptcy Court Order, the Bankruptcy Code, the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Lender of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Lender of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
9. TAXES AND EXPENSES.
If Borrowers fail to pay any monies (whether taxes, rents, assessments, insurance premiums, or otherwise) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement and permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, then, to the extent that Lender determines that such failure by Borrowers could have a material adverse effect on Lender’s interests in the Collateral, in its discretion and without prior notice to Borrowers, Lender may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves in Borrowers’ loan account as Lender deems necessary to protect Lender from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.4, and take any action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Lender shall constitute Lender Expenses. Any such payments made by Lender shall not constitute an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Lender need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security interest, encumbrance, or lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.
10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
10.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Borrowers waive demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Lender on which Borrowers may in any way be liable.
10.2 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, Lender shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person. All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.
10.3 Indemnification. Borrowers agree to defend, indemnify, save, and hold Lender and its agents harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other Person arising out of or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (b) all losses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by Lender as a result of
18
or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in any such case, to the extent that the same arises from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Lender or its officers, agents, or employees. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
10.4 NOTICES.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by any party relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, telefacsimile, or telegram (with messenger delivery specified) to Borrowers or to Lender, as the case may be, at its address set forth below:

THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ITS CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INCLUDING THE BANKRUPTCY CODE), IT BEING THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT FEDERAL LAW SHALL GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITHOUT REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF ANY PROVISION OF STATE LAW. TO THE EXTENT THAT FEDERAL LAW WOULD APPLY THE LAW OF ANY STATE AS THE FEDERAL RULE FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHALL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.

20
12. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
12.1 Effectiveness. Subject to entry of the Interim Bankruptcy Court Order and the Final Bankruptcy Court Order, as applicable, this Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by each of the Borrowers and accepted and executed by Lender.
12.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lender’s prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void. No consent to an assignment by Lender shall release Borrowers from their Obligations. Lender may assign this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder and no consent or approval by Borrowers is required in connection with any such assignment. Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in Lender’s rights and benefits hereunder. In connection with any such assignment or participation, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers or Borrowers’ business. To the extent that Lender assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to a third Person, Lender shall not be relieved of any liability under this Agreement as a result of such assignment or delegation.
12.3 Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
12.4 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Lender or Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
12.5 Good Faith. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will exercise its rights and remedies hereunder, and perform each of its obligations hereunder, in a commercially reasonable manner and in good faith.
12.6 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
12.7 Amendments in Writing. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations, if any, are merged into this Agreement.
12.8 Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart
21
of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.
12.9 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by Borrowers or the transfer by either or both of such parties to Lender of any property of either or both of such parties should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, and other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys fees of Lender related thereto, the liability of Borrowers or such guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
12.10 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, whether before or after the date hereof.
