timely payment when due without extension of all taxes, assessments or
contributions required of Borrower. If Borrower fails to make any
such
Page 14
of 26
payment
or deposit or furnish proof of such payment immediately upon Lender's request,
Lender may, in its sole discretion and without notice to Borrower:
(i) Make
payment of the same or any part thereof; or
(ii) Set
up such reserves against the Obligations as Lender deems necessary to satisfy
the liability therefore, or both.
(b)
Lender may conclusively rely on statements of the amount owing or other official
statements issued by the appropriate governmental agency. Any payment made by
Lender shall constitute neither:
(i) An
agreement by Lender to make similar payments in
the
future; nor
(ii) A
waiver by Lender of any default under the Loan Documents. Lender need not
inquire into, nor contest the validity of, any expense, tax, security interest,
encumbrance or lien, and the receipt of the usual official notice requiring the
payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and
owing.
10.1.9
Give Lender written notice immediately upon forming an intention to change its
name, state of organization or form of business organization.
10.1.10
Maintenance of Insurance.
(a) The
Borrower will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance
with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and
contingencies as shall be in accordance with general practices of businesses
engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas. Such insurance shall
be in such minimum amounts that the Borrower will not be deemed a co-insurer
under applicable insurance laws, regulations, and policies and otherwise shall
be in such amounts, contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods
as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. In addition, all such insurance
shall be payable to the Lender under a Lender Loss Payable Endorsement. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will:
(i) Keep
all of its physical property insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance
on an “all risks” basis, with broad form flood and earthquake coverage and
electronic data processing coverage, with a full replacement cost endorsement
and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement
cost of such property;
(ii)
Maintain all such workers' compensation or similar insurance as may be required
by law; and
Page 15
of 26
(iii)
Maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by
businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general
public liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death, or property
damage occurring, on, in or about the properties of the Borrower; business
interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.
(b) In
the event that Borrower fails to maintain such insurance, Lender may obtain such
insurance at Borrower’s expense, and, after an Event of Default, to adjust or
settle any claim or other matter under or arising pursuant to such insurance or
to amend or cancel such insurance.
10.1.11
Borrower hereby permits Lender at any time to access electronically information
concerning any accounts maintained by Borrower with any bank or other financial
institution so long as such access is in furtherance of, or to monitor
compliance with, the terms of this Agreement, and Borrower shall provide Lender
with all necessary access codes, passwords and the like to carry out the
provisions hereof.
10.2
Borrower waives any claim it may now have against Lender arising out of any
unauthorized filing of any Financing Statement by Lender.

of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business, property, or
assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or acquire by purchase or
otherwise all or substantially all of the properties, assets, stock, or other
evidence of beneficial ownership of any entity.
11.3
Transfer of Assets. Enter into any transaction not in the ordinary and usual
course of Borrower’s business, including the sale, lease, or other disposition
of, moving, relocation, or transfer, whether by sale or otherwise, of any of
Borrower’s properties, assets (other than sales of Inventory to buyers in the
ordinary course of Borrower’s business as currently conducted).
11.4
Suspension of Business. Suspend or go out of a substantial portion of its
business.
11.5 No
Dividends or Distributions. Borrower will not make any distribution or declare
or pay any dividends (in cash or in stock) on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or
retire any of its common stock, membership or partnership interests, of any
class, whether
Page 16
of 26
now or
hereafter outstanding. Absent an Event of Default, Borrower may, upon prior
written notice to Lender, make distributions to its shareholders or members in
the ordinary and usual course of Borrower’s business to satisfy such
shareholder’s or member’s tax liability on income of Borrower which is allocated
to such shareholder or member.

to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the
Lender:
14.1 To
not incur expenses to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished
products for disposition;
14.2 To
fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of,

non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Lender would not
be commercially unreasonable in the Lender’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral
Page 19
of 26
and that
other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially
unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without
limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed to
grant any rights to the Borrower or to impose any duties on the Lender that
would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in
the absence of this Section 14.
15. Proceeds and Expenses of
Dispositions.
15.1
Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand any and all expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Lender in
protecting, preserving, defending priority or enforcing the Lender's rights
under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After
deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or
sale of the Obligations or Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in
cash, be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference
as the Lender may determine, notwithstanding contrary instructions received by
Lender from the Borrower or any other third party.
16. Liquidation Success
Premium.
16.1 If
Borrower shall substantially cease operating as a going concern, and the

shall pay to Lender a liquidation success premium of ten percent of the amount
of such excess.

has incurred or may incur in:
17.1.1
Negotiating, preparing, or administering this Agreement and any documents

granted by Borrower to Lender or arising under applicable law, whether or not
suit is brought, including but not limited to the defense of any Avoidance
Claims;

actual costs, including photocopying (which, if performed by Lender’s employees,
shall be at the rate of $.10/page), travel, and attorneys' fees and expenses

stay, (ii) seeking dismissal or conversion of the bankruptcy proceeding or (iii)

Contractual Termination Date.
18.3 Upon
the Termination Date, the unpaid balance of the Obligations shall be due and
payable without demand or notice.
19. Revocation of Borrower's
Right to Sell Inventory Free and Clear of Lender's Security
Interest.
19.1
Lender may, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, revoke Borrower's right
to sell Inventory free and clear of Lender's security interest
therein.
20. No Lien Termination without
Release In recognition of the Lender's right to have its attorneys' fees
and other expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement secured by the
Collateral, notwithstanding payment in full of all Obligations by Borrower,
Lender shall not be required to record any terminations or satisfactions of any
of Lender's liens on the Collateral unless and until Complete Termination has
occurred. Borrower understands that this provision constitutes a waiver of its
rights under §9-513 of the UCC.
21. Account
Stated.

arising hereunder. Each statement shall be considered correct and binding upon

statement.

required to be given to Lender hereunder.

Lender may furnish any financial or other information concerning Borrower, or
any of its subsidiaries, heretofore or hereafter provided by Borrower to Lender,

(whether under this Agreement or otherwise), or to any prospective purchaser of
any securities issued or to be issued by Lender.
25. Entire
Agreement.
25.1 No
promises of any kind have been made by Lender or any third party to induce
Borrower to execute this Agreement. No course of dealing, course of performance
or trade usage, and no parole evidence of any nature, shall be used to
supplement or modify any terms of this Agreement.

counterpart of the signature page to this Agreement by facsimile to any other
party shall thereafter also promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement to such other party, provided that the failure to deliver such
manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or

28. Amendment and
Waiver.
28.1 Only
a writing signed by all parties hereto may amend this Agreement. No failure or
delay in exercising any right hereunder shall impair any such right that Lender

are cumulative and not exclusive of each other or of any rights or remedies that
Lender would otherwise have.

the jurisdiction of the Acceptable Forums and waives any and all objections to
jurisdiction or venue. Should such proceeding be initiated in any other forum,
Borrower waives any right to oppose any motion or application made by Lender to
transfer such proceeding to an Acceptable Forum.
31. Jury Trial

31.1 IN

THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION
OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING HEREUNDER, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR
RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH
RESPECT HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND

CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY
PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY
COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF
