Section 2. Purchase & Sale of Accounts.

2.1 Purchase of Accounts. Client hereby sells to Factor all of Client’s right, title and interest in and to all of Client’s Accounts. Factor shall be the sole and exclusive owner of such Accounts with full power to collect and otherwise deal with such Accounts. All Accounts shall be submitted to Factor on a Schedule of Accounts listing each Account separately. The Schedule of Accounts shall be in such form as Factor may prescribe from time to time and shall be signed by an officer or authorized signer of the Client. Client may submit such Accounts electronically, by facsimile, by mail or other delivery service of Client’s choosing that is approved by Factor. Any Accounts submitted electronically shall be submitted in such electronic format as Factor may require. At the time the Schedule of Accounts is presented, Client shall also deliver to Factor, if requested by Factor, one copy of an invoice for each Account together with evidence of shipment, furnishing and/or delivery of the Goods or rendition of service(s).

2.2 Credit Approval.

(a) Client shall submit to Factor the credit requirements of Client’s Customers, a description of its selling terms and such other information as Factor may request. Factor may, in its sole credit judgment, establish credit lines for sales by Client to its Customers on its normal selling terms or such other terms as Factor may approve (“Credit Lines”). Client may also submit for credit approval specific orders from Customers and Factor may, in its sole credit judgment, approve such orders on a single order approval basis (“Single Order Approval”). Accounts arising under the terms of Credit Lines or Single Order Approvals are hereinafter referred to as Approved Accounts; Accounts not arising under Credit Lines or Single Order Approvals are hereinafter referred to as Client Risk Accounts. All Credit Approvals must be in writing to be effective. Credit Approval(s) shall be limited to the specific terms and amounts indicated in either the Credit Line or Single Order Approval. If Goods are shipped or services are rendered based on a verbal approval, it is Client’s responsibility to ensure that such Credit Approval is received in writing. Any Account for freight, samples, or miscellaneous sales (including the sale of Goods and/or in quantities not regularly sold by Client) shall always be a Client Risk Account, notwithstanding any written Credit Approval from Factor. For purposes of determining Factor’s Credit Approval hereunder, the Account(s) balance due Factor from any given Customer shall be calculated as the aggregate amount owed by that Customer less any credits to which such Customer may be entitled, and is not to be construed to mean individual invoices owed by that Customer.

(b) Credit Approval(s) may be withdrawn, either orally or in writing, in Factor’s sole discretion at any time before actual delivery of Goods or rendering of services. Credit Approval(s) are automatically rescinded and withdrawn if the terms of sale vary from the terms approved by Factor, or if the terms of sale are changed by Client without Factor’s prior written approval of the new terms, or if the Account is not assigned to Factor within ten days from the date of the invoice, or if the Goods are not delivered on or before the expiration of the Single Order Approval or if there is no expiration date if the Goods are not delivered within 30 days of the date of the Single Order Credit Approval. If Accounts exceed either a Credit Line or Single Order Approval, only the amount in excess of the Credit Line or Single Order Approval shall be considered Client Risk Accounts, provided, however, that if Client ships Goods or

provides services to a Customer who has outstanding Accounts owed to Client, and such Customer’s Credit Line and/or outstanding Single Order Approval(s) have been withdrawn by Factor, and the Accounts created by such shipment exceed ten percent (10%) of the total amount of Client’s Accounts outstanding, any Credit Approvals applying to those Accounts shall be deemed cancelled and all outstanding Accounts from that Customer are Client Risk Accounts for all purposes.

(c) Factor 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 Factor may have under this Agreement or otherwise. In the event Factor declines to give Credit Approval on any order received by Client from a Customer and in advising Client of such decline Factor furnishes Client with information as to the credit standing of the Customer, such information shall be deemed to have been requested of Factor by Client and Factor’s advice containing such information is recognized as a privileged communication. Client agrees that such information shall not be given to Client’s Customer or to Client’s sales representative(s). If necessary, Client shall merely advise its Customer(s) that credit has been declined on the account and that any questions should be directed to Factor.

(d) Factor will assume the Credit Risk on Approved Accounts, i.e., if a Customer, after receiving and accepting the delivery of Goods or services (subject to all warranties herein) for which Factor has given written Credit Approval, fails to pay an Account when due, and such nonpayment is due solely to financial inability to pay, Factor shall bear any loss thereon up to the amount of the Credit Approval, subject to the terms and provisions stated herein or in the Credit Approval. If Factor fails to collect an Approved Account within 120 Days of its maturity solely due to the Customer’s financial inability to pay, Factor will pay the Purchase Price of such Approved Account to Client on the Collection Date. Specifically, Factor shall not be responsible for any nonpayment of a Credit Approved Account: (i) because of the assertion of any claim or Dispute by a Customer for any reason whatsoever, including, dispute as to price, terms of sales, delivery, quantity, quality, or other, or the exercise of any counterclaim or offset (whether or not such claim, counterclaim or offset relates to the specific Account); (ii) where nonpayment is a consequence of enemy attack, terrorism, natural disaster, civil commotion, strikes, lockouts, the act or restraint of public authorities, acts of God or force majeure; or (iii) if any representation or warranty made by Client to Factor in respect of such Account has been breached whether intentionally or unintentionally. The assertion of a Dispute by a Customer shall have the effect of negating any Credit Approval on the affected Approved Account(s) and such Approved Account(s) shall be deemed a Client Risk Account until paid or otherwise cleared from Factor’s books.

(e) Client shall bear the Credit Risk on all Client Risk Accounts; Factor shall have full recourse to Client for all Client Risk Accounts. Upon demand by Factor, Client shall pay to Factor the full amount of a Client Risk Account, together with all expenses incurred by Factor 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).

(f) If monies are owing from a Customer for both Approved Accounts and Client Risk Accounts, Client agrees that any payments or credits applying to any Account owing by such Customer will be applied: first, to any Approved Accounts outstanding on Factor’s books and second, to any Client Risk Account outstanding on Factor’s books. This order of payment applies regardless of the respective dates the sales occurred and regardless of any notations on payment items.

2.3 Purchase Price.

(a) On the Collection Date applicable to an Account, Factor shall pay to Client the Purchase Price for such Account, less (i) any Reserve or credit balance that Factor, in Factor’s sole discretion, determines to hold, (ii) all Advances, moneys remitted, paid, or otherwise advanced by Factor to or on behalf of Client (including any amounts which Client may reasonably be obligated to pay in the future), (iii) any other charges provided for by this Agreement or otherwise due Factor by Client, and (iv) any deductions taken by the Customer in connection with such Account.

(b) No discount, credit, allowance or deduction with respect to any Account in excess of $10,000 shall be granted or approved by Client to any Customer without the prior written consent of Factor unless

such discount, credit, allowance or deduction is shown on the face of an invoice at the time such invoice is submitted to Factor. Client agrees to give Factor notice of all discounts, credits, allowances or deductions in excess of $10,000.

(c) Client shall pay to Factor or Factor may charge Client’s account with Factor or to the Reserve, the amount of any payment that Factor receives with respect to a Client Risk Account if Factor is subsequently required to return such payment, whether as a result of any proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise.

(d) Client agrees to repurchase (i) any Account upon the breach of any representations or warranties relating to such Account or upon a Default hereunder, (ii) any Client Risk Account at any time, and (iii) any Approved Account at any time after the assertion of a Dispute.

2.4 Reserve. Factor shall be entitled to withhold a Reserve, and may revise the Reserve at any time and from time to time if Factor deems it necessary to do so in order to protect Factor’s interests. Factor may charge against the Reserve any amount for which Client may be obligated to Factor at any time, whether under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise, including but not limited to the repayment of any damages suffered by Factor as a result of Client’s breach of any provision hereof (whether intentional or unintentional), any adjustments due and any attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements due. Client recognizes that the Reserve represents bookkeeping entries only and not cash funds. It is further agreed that with respect to the balance in the Reserve, Factor is authorized to withhold, without giving prior notice to Client, such payments and credits otherwise due to Client under the terms of this Agreement for reasonably anticipated claims or to adequately satisfy reasonably anticipated Obligation(s) Client may owe Factor.

2.5 Notice Of Purchase. All invoices submitted to Customers by Client shall plainly state on their face that the amounts payable thereunder are payable at such lockbox address as Factor may designate to Client in writing from time to time.

Section 3. Account Advances/Inventory Advances.

3.1 Account Advances. In Factor’s sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Factor may from time to time advance to Client up to eighty percent (80.0%) of the aggregate Net Invoice Amount of Accounts outstanding at the time any such Account Advance is made, with dilution of ten percent (10%) or less on a trailing 12 month basis, less: (1) Any such Accounts that are in Dispute; (2) any such Accounts that are not acceptable to Factor in its sole discretion; (3) the amount of the Reserve; and (4) any interest, fees and other items, actual or estimated, that are chargeable to the Reserve; or (5) the amount of any Letters of Credit not deducted pursuant to Section 3.2(a). The Account Advances shall be reduced by a minimum of two percent (2%) for every one percent (1%) of dilution in excess of ten percent (10%).

3.2 Inventory Advances. (a) In Factor’s sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Factor may from time to time advance to Client up to the least of (i) fifty percent (50.0%) of the dollar value (determined at the lower of cost or market) of Eligible Inventory, (ii) $3,000,000, or (iii) seventy-five percent (75.0%) of net orderly liquidation value of Eligible Inventory as per the most recent approval (Inventory shall be appraised semi-annually by an appraiser acceptable to Factor), less the face amount of all Letters of Credit issued or guaranteed by Factor for or on behalf of the Client or such reserves as Factor shall establish from time to time in its sole discretion. Borrowed amounts that are repaid may be reborrowed upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advances will not be made against Eligible Inventory until Factor receives the initial appraisal of the Inventory and such appraisal is satisfactory to Factor.

(b) Factor will determine eligibility and the loan value of the Eligible Inventory, in its sole discretion, consistent with Factor’s experience, prudent business judgment and standards of commercial reasonableness applicable to asset-based credits and in good faith.

(c) Client shall deliver to Factor an Inventory Certificate no less frequently than weekly (by the second Business Day of each week and determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day

of the immediately preceding week), except when no borrowings against Inventory are made. At times when no Advances are outstanding against Inventory, Client shall deliver to Factor an Inventory Certificate no less than monthly (by the tenth Business Day following the last day of the applicable month).

(d) In no event shall the total of the outstanding Advances exceed the lesser of i) $10,000,000 or ii) the sum of Account Advance Availability plus Inventory Advance Availability and Client shall immediately pay to Factor any and all amounts necessary to reduce the aggregate outstanding Advances below such limit.

3.3 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the request of Client and for Client’s account, Factor shall issue or shall cause to be issued one or more Letters of Credit for the purpose of facilitating the purchase of goods or services in the ordinary course of Client’s business. The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit shall be deducted from the amount of Inventory Advances available under Section 3.2 hereof and to the extent necessary, from the amount of Account Advances available under Section 3.2 hereof. The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to Eight Hundred Thousand No/100 Dollars ($800,000); provided, that, at no time shall the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, plus the outstanding Account Advances and Inventory Advances, exceed the lesser of the $800,000 or the amounts available to be advanced/borrowed under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 [and if available and only to the extent of such availability, Section 3.4 hereof] hereof. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall not be later than 365 days from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit shall have any automatic or “evergreen” renewal provisions. No extensions, modifications or amendments to a Letter of Credit shall be made without Factor’s prior written consent.

(b) In the event that Factor shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit, such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute first, an Inventory Advance, and second an Account Advance, hereunder.

(c) Client shall pay to Factor, as compensation for the Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, immediately upon demand, all amounts necessary for Factor to meet all disbursements and payments of any kind or character, together with the Letter of Credit Fee, and any interest, commissions and other charges, which Factor has incurred or will incur or to which Factor is entitled in connection with the Letters of Credit or any draft drawn thereunder and any fees charged by any Bank issuing any Letters of Credit, all as set forth on Exhibit A.

(d) Client shall give Factor at least five (5) business days’ prior written notice of a requested Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to a letter of credit application entered into by Client and Factor for the benefit of the Issuer, completed in a manner satisfactory to Factor and the Issuer. The terms and conditions set forth in such letter of credit application shall supplement the terms and conditions hereof, but if the terms of such letter of credit application and the terms of this Agreement are inconsistent, the terms hereof shall control.

(e) The Client hereby agrees to reimburse Factor for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations and such obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of presentment, demand, protest or other formalities. Client acknowledges that neither this Agreement nor any guaranty of a Letter of Credit by Factor pursuant to this Agreement shall in any way be construed to create any liability, obligation, warranty or representation on Factor’s part with respect to any matter other than Factor’s obligation to make payment of any Letter of Credit guarantied by Factor. Neither Factor nor any Person issuing a Letter of Credit shall be responsible for: (a) verifying the existence of any act, condition or statement made by a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit in relation to its drawing or presentment under the Letter of Credit or for verifying or passing judgment on the reasonableness of any statement made by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) the failure to give any notice; or (d) any breach of contract between the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit and Client. Furthermore, neither Factor nor any Person issuing a Letter of Credit shall be responsible for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any

messages, by mail, cable, telegraph or otherwise; and none of the above shall affect or impair any of Factor’s rights or powers hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, Client agrees that, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct on Factor’s part, any action taken or not taken by Factor or by any Person issuing a Letter of Credit, under or in connection with a Letter of Credit or the related draft or documents shall be binding on Client and shall not make Factor liable to Client.

(f) Factor shall not be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit for any purpose other than the sole purpose of allowing Client to purchase goods or services in the ordinary course of business.

(g) Client shall indemnify Factor and hold Factor harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that Factor may sustain or incur based upon, arising under, or in any way relating to any Letter of Credit. Client’s obligation to reimburse and indemnify Factor shall be conclusive but shall not prejudice any rights Client may have against any other person in the event that Client disputes liability of any amounts owing under any Letter of Credit.

(h) Whenever a draft is submitted under the Letter of Credit, Clients authorize Factor (regardless of whether a Default exists or whether Clients have sufficient borrowing availability hereunder) to make a Inventory Advance first and, to the extent necessary to cover the amount of such Letter of Credit, an Account Advance hereunder in the amount of such draft (plus any applicable fees of the Issuer associated therewith) and to apply the proceeds of such Inventory Advance or Account Advance thereto. Such Inventory Advances and/or Account Advances shall bear interest and be repayable in accordance with, and be treated in all other respects pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i) Clients’ obligations arising hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever, including (without limitation) the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively the “Related Documents”);

(B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Related Documents;

(C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Client may have at any time, against any beneficiary or any transferee of the Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or in the Related Documents or any unrelated transactions;

(D) any statement or any other document presented under the Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(E) payment by or on behalf of the Issuer under the Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; and

(F) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 4. Collections/Repayment.

4.1 Collections.

(a) Factor shall have the right at any time with or without notice to Client, to notify any or all Customers of the sale and assignment of the Accounts and pledge of the Collateral to Factor and to direct such Customers to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Client directly to Factor. Client agrees not to change any of such instructions or to give its Customers different instructions so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect. To the extent there are no Obligations of Client owed to Factor hereunder and so long as Client is not in Default, Factor shall be deemed to have received any such proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral in excess of that which Factor is entitles as Owner of the Accounts or in repayment in full of the Obligations as a pure pass-through for and on account of Client.

(b) Factor, as the sole and absolute owner of the Accounts, shall have the sole and exclusive power and authority to collect each such Account, through legal action or otherwise, and Factor may, in its sole discretion, settle, compromise, or assign (in whole or in part) any of such Accounts, or otherwise exercise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any other right now existing or hereafter arising with respect to any of such Accounts.

(c) Should Client receive payment of all or any portion of any Account or other Collateral, Client shall immediately notify Factor of the receipt of such payment, hold such payment in trust for Factor separate and apart from Client’s own property and funds, and shall deliver such payment to Factor without delay in the identical form in which received. Should Client receive any check or other payment instrument with respect to any Account or other Collateral and fail to surrender and deliver to Factor such check or payment instrument within five (5) days, Factor shall be entitled to charge Client a Misdirected Payment Fee to compensate Factor for the additional administrative expenses that the parties acknowledge are likely to be incurred as a result of such breach.

(d) In the event any Goods, the sale of which gave rise to an Account, are returned to or repossessed by Client, such Goods shall be held by Client in trust for Factor, separate and apart from Client’s own property and subject to Factor’s sole direction and control.

(e) Client agrees to notify Factor promptly in writing of any credit loss, or anticipated credit loss, for Approved Accounts, such notice in any event to be received by Factor no longer than 120 days after the maturity date of the invoice (based on its longest optional terms). Client’s failure to provide such notice to Factor within the 120 day period shall result in Client assuming the entire Credit Risk on such Account, and Factor shall be deemed free of any such Credit Risk.

4.2 Repayment.

(a) Client hereby unconditionally promises to pay all Advances and all other Obligations. All Advances and Obligations shall bear interest at the rate set forth in subsection 5.1 below until paid in full. All Advances and all other Obligations shall be immediately due and payable upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b) The Purchase Price and all other amounts received by Factor will be paid to Client by crediting same to Client’s account with Factor on the Collection Date. The Purchase Price and all other amounts so credited to Client’s account with Factor shall be applied first to all fees and expenses due Factor, next to accrued interest, then to the Inventory Advances, then to Account Advances, provided, however, that the allocation of Credit Risk shall be governed by Section 2.2 hereof.

(c) Client shall make each payment required hereunder or under any other Factoring Document without setoff, deduction or counterclaim.

(d) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Client, the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement or any other Factoring Documents as principal, accrued interest, expenses or fees shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request by Client for an Account Advance or Inventory Advance on the due date of, and in the amount required to pay, such principal, accrued interest or fees or expenses and the proceeds of each such Account Advances or Inventory Advance if made by Factor, shall be disbursed by Factor by way of direct payment of such Obligation.

Section 5. Interest and Fees.

5.1 Interest.

(a) Client will pay Factor or, at Factor’s option, Factor may charge Client’s account with, interest on the average daily net principal amount of Obligations outstanding hereunder, calculated monthly and payable on the first day of each calendar month, at a rate (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR (as defined below), plus five and one-half percent (5.5%) (the “Interest Margin”), but in no event less than 7.75%. The Interest Rate may not be the lowest or best rate at which Factor calculates interest or extends credit. The

Interest Rate for each calendar month shall be adjusted (if necessary) on the first day of such calendar month and shall be equal to the Interest Rate in effect as of the close of business on the last Business Day of the immediately preceding calendar month.

As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“LIBOR” means, at any time, an interest rate per annum equal to the interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal (or another national publication selected by the Factor) as the one month London Interbank Offered Rate for United States dollar deposits or such other language (or, if such page shall cease to be publicly available or, if the information/description contained on such page, in Factor’s sole judgment, shall cease to accurately reflect such London Interbank Offered Rate, then such rate as reported by any publicly available recognized source of similar market data selected by Factor that, in Factor’s reasonable judgment, accurately reflects such London Interbank Offered Rate).

(b) Market Disruption Event. If, at any time, Factor determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market generally, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the following month as provided in subsection (a) hereof, or (b) disruptions in the short term money markets have materially and adversely affected Factor’s cost of funds such that the interest rate hereunder does not adequately or fairly reflect Factor’s cost of making, funding or maintaining the loan hereunder, a “Market Disruption Event” will be deemed to have occurred and the Factor shall promptly notify the Client thereof. The rate of interest hereunder (the “Adjusted Rate of Interest”) shall be adjusted and shall thereafter be a rate equal to the sum of (x) the rate that Factor determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding), expressed as a percentage rate per annum, to be the cost to Factor of funding the loan from whatever source it may reasonably elect, plus (y) the Interest Margin. Factor shall give prompt notice to Client of the Adjusted Rate of Interest.

Client shall begin to be charged interest at the Adjusted Rate of Interest effective as of the first day of the month following the month in which Factor provides notice thereof to Client, provided, however, that if Client is unwilling to accept the Adjusted Rate of Interest, it may terminate this Agreement and prepay all amounts due hereunder within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the Adjusted Rate of Interest without paying a prepayment fee.

(c) If during any month, a net credit balance exists (i.e., the Reserve or credit balance exceeds outstanding Accounts), then Factor shall credit Client’s account as of the last day of each month with interest at a rate equal to the greater of zero percent (0%) or one percent (1%) below the LIBOR.

(d) Interest upon the daily net balance of all of Client’s Inventory Advances shall be payable at a rate equal that described in 5.1(a) above.

(e) Interest shall be charged to Client’s account with Factor as of the last day of each month and shall constitute Obligations. Any adjustment in Factor’s interest rate, whether downward or upward will become effective on the first day of the month following the month. All interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days.

(f) To the extent permitted by law and without limiting any other right or remedy of Factor hereunder, whenever there is a Default under this Agreement, the rate of interest on the Obligations shall, at the option of Factor, be increased to a default interest rate by adding five percent (5%) to the highest interest rate otherwise in effect hereunder. Factor may charge such default interest rate retroactively beginning on the date the applicable Default first occurred or existed. Client acknowledges that: (i) such additional rate is a material inducement to Factor to purchase Accounts and consider requests for Advances hereunder; (ii) Factor would not have made the Advances in the absence of the agreement of Client to pay such additional rate; (iii) such additional rate represents compensation for increased risk to Factor that Factor will not be repaid; and (iv) such rate is not a penalty and represents a reasonable estimate of (A) the cost to Factor in allocating its resources (both personnel and financial) to the ongoing review, monitoring, administration and collection of the Advances and Obligations, and (B) compensation to Factor for losses

that are difficult to ascertain. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either party hereto, Factor’s entitlement to this charge will continue until all Obligations are paid in full.

(g) IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT AS TO ALL ACCOUNTS, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL CONSTITUTE A TRUE PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACCOUNT(S) UNDER § 9-318 OF THE UCC AS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND AS SUCH, THE CLIENT SHALL HAVE NO LEGAL OR EQUITABLE INTEREST IN SUCH PROPERTY SOLD. NEVERTHELESS, IN THE EVENT ANY PORTION OF THIS TRANSACTION IS CHARACTERIZED AS A LOAN AND AS IT RELATES TO THE INVENTORY ADVANCE, 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 CLIENT, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON HEREAFTER BECOMING LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, 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 CLIENT HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE LEGAL MAXIMUM, OR FACTOR 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 FACTOR’S OPTION, RETURNED TO CLIENT 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 CALIFORNIA OR, IF DIFFERENT, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR TERRITORY IN WHICH THE CLIENT 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 FACTOR IS PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO CONTRACT FOR, TAKE, CHARGE OR RECEIVE WITH RESPECT TO THE OBLIGATIONS.

5.2 Commission.

(a) For Factor’s services hereunder, Client shall pay and Factor shall be entitled to receive a factoring Commission equal to three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the gross invoice amount of each Account (“Commission”). The Commission shall be due and payable to Factor on the date of creation of each Account and shall be chargeable to Client’s account with Factor. Factor shall be entitled to receive a surcharge equal to two percent (2%) of the gross invoice amount of all Accounts arising out of sales to any Customer that is a debtor-in-possession. All of the foregoing fees constitute compensation to Factor for services rendered and are not interest or a charge for the use of money.

(b) Factor’s Commission is based upon Client’s maximum selling terms of ninety (90) days. Client will not grant additional dating to any Customer without Factor’s prior written approval.

(A sale in the ordinary course

of business does not include a transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt owing by Client to any person other than Factor.)

(e) Equipment. Client will maintain all Equipment used or useful in Client’s business in good and workable condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, subject to a perfected, first-priority security interest in Factor’s favor and free and clear of all other Liens except Permitted Liens at one of the locations set forth on Schedule 6.3(b).

(g) Insurance. Client will obtain and maintain in full force and effect insurance covering the Collateral against all risks to which the Collateral is exposed, including loss, damage, fire, theft, and all other such risks, in such amounts, with such companies, under such policies and in such form as will be satisfactory to Factor, which policies will name Factor as an additional insured and provide that loss thereunder will be payable to Factor as Factor’s interests may appear upon a loss payee endorsement acceptable to Factor. All proceeds of any such insurance will be paid over to Factor directly, and Factor may apply such proceeds to payment of the Obligations, whether or not due, in such order of application as Factor determines or, in Factor’s sole discretion, apply such proceeds, in whole or in part, to the replacement, restoration or rebuilding of the lost or damaged property. Client will provide to Factor from time to time certificates showing such coverage in effect and, at Factor’s request, the underlying policies.

(h) Commercial Tort Claims. If Client shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, Client shall immediately notify Factor in a writing signed by Client of the details thereof and grant to Factor in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Factor.

9.1 Disputes/Chargebacks. Client shall notify Factor immediately upon the assertion by a Customer of a Dispute and Factor may charge such Account back to Client. Factor may charge back to Client all amounts owing on Client Risk Accounts at any time either before or after the due date. Client indemnifies and holds Factor harmless from and against any and all loss, costs and expenses arising out of Disputes or Client Risk Accounts, including collection and attorneys fees with respect thereto.

9.4 Persons Authorized to Request Account Advances/Inventory Advances.

Factor shall have no liability whatsoever to Client or any other Person for acting upon any such instructions which Factor, in good faith, believes were given by any such person, and Factor shall have no duty to inquire as to the propriety of any disbursement. Factor is hereby authorized to make the loans provided for herein based on instructions received by facsimile, electronic mail, telephone or other method of communication from any of such persons. Although Factor shall make a reasonable effort to determine the person’s identity, Factor shall not be responsible for determining the authenticity of any such instructions, and Factor may act on the instructions of anyone it perceives to be one of the persons authorized to request loans hereunder. Factor shall have the right to accept the instructions of any of the foregoing persons unless and until Factor actually receives from Client (in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement) written notice of termination of the authority of that person. Client may change persons designated to give Factor borrowing instructions only by delivering to Factor written notice of such change. Client will ensure that each telephone instruction from any person designated in or pursuant to this paragraph shall be followed by written confirmation of the request for disbursement in such form as Factor makes available to Client from time to time for such purpose; provided, however, that Client’s failure to provide written confirmation of any telephonic instruction shall not invalidate such telephonic instruction.

9.5 Field Examinations. During the term of this Agreement and so long as there exists or has existed no Default, Factor may conduct up to four (4) field examinations per Contract Year; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Default and so long as it continues, Factor may conduct additional field examinations.

Section 10. Accounting Information.

10.1 Accounting Statements. Factor shall provide Client with information on the Accounts and a monthly reconciliation of the factoring relationship relating to billing, collection, Account Advances, Inventory Advances, Obligations and account maintenance such as aging, posting, error resolution and e-mailing or mailing of statements. All of the foregoing shall be in a format and in such detail, as Factor, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. Factor’s books and records shall be admissible in evidence without objection as prima facie evidence of the status of the Accounts and Reserve between Factor and Client. Each statement, report, or accounting rendered or issued by Factor to Client shall be deemed conclusively accurate and binding on Client unless within thirty (30) days after the date of issuance Client notifies Factor to the contrary pursuant to Section 13 hereof, setting forth with specificity the reasons why Client believes such statement, report, or accounting is inaccurate, as well as what Client believes to be correct amount(s) therefore. If the Client gives notice of its disagreement with Factor’s statement, all matters in such statement that are not objected to in Client’s notice, shall be deemed conclusively accurate and binding on Client. Client’s failure to receive any monthly statement shall not relieve it of the responsibility to request such statement and Client’s failure to do so shall nonetheless bind Client to whatever Factor’s records would have reported.

10.2 Inspections. Factor shall have the right at any time, at Client’s expense, to visit and inspect Client’s books and records, and to make and take away copies of Client’s books and records.

Section 11. Defaults and Remedies.

11.1 Default. A Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder upon the happening of one or more of the following: (a) Client shall fail to pay as and when due any amount owed to Factor; (b) any Obligor shall breach any covenant, warranty or representation set forth herein or in any Factoring Document or same shall be untrue when made; (c) any Obligor becomes insolvent in that its debts are greater than the fair value of its assets or is unable to pay its debts as they mature, or admits in writing that it is insolvent or unable to pay its debts, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, makes a conveyance fraudulent as to creditors under any state or federal law, or a proceeding is instituted by or against any Obligor alleging that such Obligor is insolvent or unable to pay debts as they mature, or a petition under any provision of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, or any state insolvency proceeding is filed by or against any Obligor; (d) any involuntary lien, garnishment, attachment or the like shall be issued against or shall attach to the Accounts, the Collateral or any portion thereof and the same is not released within ten (10) days; (e) any Obligor suffers the entry against it for a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $100,000.00, unless the same is discharged within thirty (30) days after the date of entry thereof or an appeal or appropriate proceeding for review thereof is taken within such periods and a stay of execution pending such appeal is obtained; (f) any report, certificate, schedule, financial statement, profit and loss statement or other statement furnished by Client, or by any Obligor or other person on behalf of Client, to Factor is not true and correct in any material respect; (g) Obligor shall have a federal or state tax lien filed against any of its properties, or shall fail to pay any federal or state tax when due, or shall fail to file any federal or state tax form as and when due; (h) a material adverse change shall have occurred in Obligor’s financial conditions, business or operations; (i) any suspension of the operation of Obligor’s present business; (j) dissolution, merger, or consolidation of any Obligor that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, provided, however, that the sale of Xxxxx Germany is specifically permitted; (k) transfer of a substantial part (determined by market value) of the property of any Obligor; (l) sale, transfer or exchange, either directly or indirectly, of a controlling stock or equity ownership interest of any Obligor; (m) termination, unenforceability or withdrawal of any guaranty for the Obligations, or failure of any Obligor to perform any of its obligations under such a guaranty or assertion by any Obligor that it has no liability or obligation under such a guaranty, (n) a default or event of default shall occur under the terms of any agreement between Client and Factor, and Client and Factor Sub, including the Loan Agreement —Factor Sub Accounts and the Factor Sub Factoring Agreement, or (o) Client shall breach any covenant or fail to perform any covenant in any agreement between Client and Factor, and Client and Factor Sub, including the Loan Agreement — Factor Sub Accounts and the Factor Sub Factoring Agreement.

11.2 Remedies. (a) Upon a Default, Factor may, without demand or notice to Client, exercise all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, under the UCC or otherwise, including,

terminating this Agreement and declaring all Obligations immediately due and payable, provided, however, that in the event a Default occurs under subsection (c) of Section 11.1, such termination and acceleration shall occur automatically without any notice, demand or presentment of any kind.

(b) Without notice to or demand upon Client or any other Person, Factor may make such payments and do such acts as Factor considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security interest in the Collateral. Client authorizes Factor to enter each premises where any Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of the Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any lien which in Factor’s opinion appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in connection therewith. Factor may ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale and sell the Collateral. Any such sale may be either a public or private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms. It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale.

(c) Factor shall be entitled to any form of equitable relief that may be appropriate without having to establish that any remedy at law is inadequate or other grounds. Factor shall be entitled to freeze, debit and/or effect a set-off against any fund or account Client may maintain with any bank. In the event Factor deems it necessary to seek equitable relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive or receivership remedies, as a result of a Default, Client waives any requirement that Factor post or otherwise obtain or procure any bond. Alternatively, in the event Factor, in its sole and exclusive discretion, desires to procure and post a bond, Factor may procure and file with the court a bond in an amount up to and not greater than $100,000.00 notwithstanding any common or statutory law requirement to the contrary. Upon Factor’s posting of such bond it shall be entitled to all benefits as if such bond was posted in compliance with state law. Client waives any right it may be entitled to, including an award of attorney’s fees or costs, in the event any equitable relief sought by and awarded to Factor is thereafter, for whatever reason(s), vacated, dissolved or reversed.

11.3 Cumulative Rights; Waivers. The occurrence of any Default shall entitle Factor to all of the default rights and remedies (without limiting the other rights and remedies exercisable by Factor either prior or subsequent to a Default) as available to a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in any applicable jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Factor in this Agreement, or in any other instrument or agreement given by Client to Factor or otherwise available to Factor in equity or at law, are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently with such other rights as Factor may have. These rights may be exercised from time to time as to all or any part of the Accounts hereunder or the Collateral as Factor in its discretion may determine. In the event that any part of the purchase of Accounts hereunder by Factor is construed to be a loan from Factor to Client, any Account Advances or payments made as the Purchase Price for all Accounts shall be secured by the Accounts and the Collateral. Factor may not be held to have waived its rights and remedies unless the waiver is in writing and signed by Factor. A waiver by Factor of a right, remedy or default under this Agreement on one occasion is not a waiver of any right, remedy or default on any subsequent occasion. No exercise by Factor of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Factor of any default on Client’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Factor shall constitute a waiver, election or acquiescence by it.

Section 12. Term.

12.1 Term. This Agreement may be terminated upon forty-five days prior written notice from Factor to Client. Client shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, however, upon payment of the appropriate Prepayment Penalty as outlined below:

Prepayment Penalty		Time Period During Which Termination Occurs
$	300,000	During the first year
$	200,000	During the second year
$	100,000	During the third year

If termination of the Agreement by the Client is a result of the sale of all or substantially all of Client’s stock or assets, the Prepayment Penalty will be as follows:

Prepayment Penalty		If Termination Occurs Due To Stock Or Asset Sale
$	300,000	Within 180 days of the Agreement Date
$	150,000	More than 181 days after the Agreement Date but prior to 365 days after the Agreement Date
$	100,000	During the second Contract Year
$	50,000	During the third Contract Year

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Factor may terminate this Agreement i) at any time without notice after the occurrence of a Default, or ii) assuming no Default hereunder, at any time by giving not less than forty-five (45) days notice. Notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Client, any such notice of termination is conditioned on Client’s delivery, to Factor, of a general release in a form reasonably satisfactory to Factor. Client understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its rights under § 9-513 of the UCC. Factor shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any of Factor’s liens on the Collateral unless and until Client has executed and delivered to Factor said general release and Client shall have no authority to do so without Factor’s express written consent. Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect Factor’s security interest in the Collateral and Factor’s ownership of the Accounts, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective, until all transactions entered into and Obligations incurred hereunder have been completed and satisfied in full. The expense reimbursement, repayment and indemnification provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. All Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full upon termination of this Agreement.

Section 13. Notices. Any notice or communication with respect to this Agreement shall be given in writing, sent by (i) personal delivery, or (ii) overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, or (iii) United States mail, first-class with postage prepaid, or registered or certified mail, or (iv) prepaid telegram, telex or telecopy, addressed to each party hereto at its address and to the attention of the person listed as set forth below the signatures of the parties to this Agreement.

(a) Judicial Reference.

The parties prefer that any dispute between them be resolved in litigation subject to a Jury Trial Waiver as set forth in Section 21 herein, but the California Supreme Court has held that such pre-dispute jury trial waivers are unenforceable. This Section will be applicable until: (i) the California Supreme Court holds that a pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision similar to that contained in Section 21 herein is valid or enforceable; or (ii) the California Legislature passes legislation and the governor of the State of California signs into law a statute authorizing pre-dispute jury trial waivers and as a result such waivers become enforceable.

ii.		Other than the exercise of provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law), any controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”), or their successor sections, which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim, including whether the Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Venue for the reference proceeding will be in the Superior Court or Federal District Court in Los Angeles County, California (the “Court”).

iii.		The referee shall be a retired Judge or Justice selected by mutual written agreement of the parties. If the parties do not agree, the referee shall be selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative). A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis, and the parties agree that irreparable harm would result if ex parte relief is not granted. The referee shall be appointed to sit with all the powers provided by law. Pending appointment of the referee, the Court has power to issue temporary or provisional remedies.

iv.		The parties agree that time is of the essence in conducting the reference proceedings. Accordingly, the referee shall be requested, subject to change in the time periods specified herein for good cause shown, to (a) set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within forty-five (45) days after the date of selection of the referee, (b) if practicable, try all issues of law or fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the conference and (c) report a statement of decision within twenty (20) days after the matter has been submitted for decision.

v.		The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount and duration of discovery. The referee may set or extend discovery deadlines or cutoffs for good cause, including a party’s failure to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever. Unless otherwise ordered based upon good cause shown, no party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery, depositions may be taken by either party upon ten (10) days written notice, and all other discovery shall be responded to within twenty (20) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding.

vi.		Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial, shall be conducted without a court reporter, except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing conducted before the referee, and the referee will be provided a courtesy copy of the transcript. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties will equally share the cost of the referee and the court reporter at trial.

vii.		The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory laws of the State of California. The rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law in the State of California will be applicable to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, provide all temporary or

		provisional remedies, enter equitable orders that will be binding on the parties and rule on any motion which would be authorized in a trial, including without limitation motions for summary judgment or summary adjudication. The referee shall issue a decision pursuant to CCP Section 644 the referee’s decision shall be entered by the Court as a judgment or an order in the same manner as if the action had been tried by the Court. The final judgment or order or from any appealable decision or order entered by the referee shall be fully appealable as provided by law. The parties reserve the right to findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.

viii.		If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by reference procedure will be resolved and determined by arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a retired judge or Justice, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act Section 1280 through Section 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery set forth above shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.

ix.		THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES RESOLVED UNDER THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL BE DECIDED BY A REFEREE AND NOT BY A JURY. AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOICE, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY AND FOR THEIR MUTUAL BENEFIT AGREES THAT THIS REFERENCE PROVISION WILL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH ARISES OUT OF OR IS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
