The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.3 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes, the conversion of the Tranche B Notes into Common Stock, the exercise of the Warrants and the termination of this Loan Agreement.

2.4 General Provisions Regarding Payments

. All payments by the Borrowers of principal, premium, if any, interest and other amounts hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, without deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, assessments or other charges of whatever nature, and delivered to each Holder’s account not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date due unless such is a day which is not a Business Day, in which case the Borrowers shall make such payments on the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue on the aggregate amount of such payments until such amount is paid and payment of such accrued interest shall be made concurrently with the payment of such amount.

2.5 Lost, etc., Securities

. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Borrowers or if the Holder of a Security claims and submits an affidavit or other evidence, satisfactory to the Borrowers to the effect that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Borrowers shall issue a replacement Security if the Holder of the Security provides an affidavit of an authorized officer of such owner, setting forth the fact of loss, theft or destruction and of its ownership of the Security at the time of such loss, theft or destruction.

2.6 Indemnification.

(a) The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree without limitation as to time, to indemnify each Holder and each director, officer, employee, agent and Affiliate of such Holder (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against, and hold it and them harmless from, all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by it or them and arising out of or in connection with this Loan Agreement, the Securities, or any other Transaction Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or any other document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto or thereto), whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement are consummated and whether or not any Indemnified Party is a formal party to any proceeding, other than to the extent that any Losses result from action on the part of any Indemnified Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute either gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, “Losses” shall not include any losses by any Holder resulting solely from the reduction in value of the Securities. The Borrowers agree to reimburse any Indemnified Party promptly for all such Losses as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party. The obligations of the Borrowers shall not be extinguished solely because any other Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity hereunder. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 2.6 shall survive the payment or prepayment of the Notes, at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the conversion of the Tranche B Notes into Conversion Shares, the exercise of the Warrants for Warrant Shares, any transfer of the Securities by any Holder and the termination of this Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Borrowers may otherwise have, including under this Loan Agreement and any other indemnification agreements contained in any other Transaction Document.

(b) In case any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Borrowers hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers in writing and the Borrowers shall, if they so desire, assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and payment of such counsel’s reasonable fees and expenses. The failure to so notify the Borrowers shall not affect any obligation they may have to any Indemnified Party under this Loan Agreement or otherwise unless they are materially adversely affected by such failure. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of each Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Borrower Representative has agreed in writing to pay such expenses; (ii) the Borrowers have failed to assume such defense and employ counsel; or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include one or more of the Borrowers, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by outside counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are inconsistent with or additional to those available to the Borrowers; provided that, if the Indemnified Party notifies the Borrowers in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel in the circumstances described in the preceding subclauses (ii) or (iii), the Borrowers shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel (in addition to any necessary local counsel), which counsel shall be designated by such Indemnified Party. The Borrowers agree that they will not, without the Indemnified Parties’ prior written consent, settle or compromise any pending or threatened claim, action or suit in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder unless the foregoing contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties from all liability and obligation arising therefrom.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.6 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to herein, then the Borrowers, in lieu of indemnifying such Persons, shall have an obligation to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Persons as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Borrowers and the Lender and the other Indemnified Parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by any such Person as a result of the Losses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.6, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with any investigation, lawsuit or legal or administrative action or proceeding.

(d) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.6 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

2.7 Use of Proceeds

. The proceeds of the Securities, together with other funds available to the Borrowers, shall be applied by the Borrowers only in accordance with Schedule 2.7 hereto.

2.8 Margin Regulations

. No portion of the proceeds of any Securities under this Loan Agreement shall be used by the Borrowers in any manner that might cause the issuance and sale of the Securities or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such issuance and sale and such use of proceeds.

The terms of this subsection (d) shall not apply to deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of the Borrowers’ salaried employees.

(e) The Borrowers do not own or hold, directly or indirectly, beneficially or as record owner or both, any investment property, or have any investment account, securities account, commodity account or other similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, in each case except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate.

(i) In the event that the Borrowers shall be entitled to or shall at any time after the date hereof hold or acquire any certificated securities, the Borrowers shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Lender, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Lender may from time to time specify. If any securities, now or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers are uncertificated and are issued to the Borrowers or their nominee directly by the issuer thereof, the Borrowers shall immediately notify the Lender thereof and shall as the Lender may specify, either (A) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Lender as to such securities, without further consent of the Borrowers or such nominee; or (B) arrange for the Lender to become the registered owner of the securities.

In the event that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending thereof by the Borrowers to the Lender shall be deemed to constitute such grant to the Lender. Upon the sending of such notice, any commercial tort claim described therein shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall be deemed included therein. Without limiting the authorization of the Lender provided in Section 4.2(a) hereof or otherwise arising by the execution by the Borrowers of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized from time to time and at any time to file such financing statements naming the Lender or its designee as secured party and the Borrowers as debtor, or any amendments to any financing statements, covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In addition, the Borrowers shall promptly upon the Lender’s request, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Lender such other agreements, documents and instruments as the Lender may require in connection with such commercial tort claim.

Each Borrower is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Borrower’s financial condition, results of operation or business or the rights of the Lender in or to any of the Collateral. The execution, delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder (a) are all within the Borrowers’ corporate powers; (b) have been duly authorized; (c) are not in contravention of law or the terms of the Borrowers’ articles of incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which one or more of the Borrowers is a party or by which the Borrowers or their property are bound; (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of, or require or give rise to any obligation to grant, any lien, security interest, charge or other encumbrance upon any property of the Borrowers; and (e) will not require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any contract of the Borrowers, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before such Closing Date and disclosed in Schedule 6.1 hereto. This Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a signatory have been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Federal, state or other governmental authority or public body or subdivision thereof.

6.2 Name; State of Organization; Chief Executive Office; Collateral Locations.

(a) The exact legal name of each Borrower is as set forth on the signature page of this Loan Agreement and in the Perfection Certificate. The Borrowers have not, during the five years prior to the date of this Loan Agreement, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate.

(b) Each Borrower is an organization of the type and organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate. The Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the organizational identification number of the Borrowers or accurately states that the Borrowers have none and accurately sets forth the federal employer identification number of the Borrowers.

(c) The chief executive office and mailing address of the Borrowers and the Borrowers’ Records concerning Accounts are located only at the address identified as such in Schedule 6.2 to the Perfection Certificate and their only other places of business and the only other locations of Collateral, if any, are the addresses set forth in Schedule 6.2 to the Perfection Certificate, subject to the right of the Borrowers to establish new locations in accordance with Section 8.2 below.

(d) Schedule 6.2 to the Perfection Certificate contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) leases, subleases or assignments of leases, or any agreements similar to the foregoing (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any thereof), affecting each parcel of Real Property leased by the each Borrower, regardless of whether such Borrower is the landlord or tenant (whether directly or as an assignee or successor in interest) under such lease, sublease, assignment or similar assignment; and (ii) Real Property owned in fee by each Borrower. Except as specified in Schedule 6.2 to the Perfection Certificate, each agreement listed therein is in full force and effect with respect to such Borrower and the Borrower does not have any knowledge of a default that has occurred and is continuing thereunder and each constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of such Borrower, enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

6.3 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Change.

(a) All financial statements relating to the Borrowers (including the Financial Statements delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(i)) which have been or may hereafter be delivered by the Borrowers to the Lender have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as to any interim financial statements, to the extent such statements are subject to normal year-end adjustments, none of which would be material or recurring, and do not include any notes) (except the March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 Financials Statements, and future quarters, of which the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and the results of operation of the Borrowers as at the dates and for the periods set forth therein. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.3(a) of the Perfection Certificate, since December 31, 2008, there has not been (i) any act, condition or event which has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any general increase in the compensation of officers or employees of the Borrowers (including any such increase pursuant to any bonus, pension, profit-sharing or other plan or commitment) or any increase in the compensation payable or to become payable to any officer or employee of the Borrowers, except for increases in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with past practice that are immaterial in the aggregate; (iii) any sale, transfer or other disposition of any material tangible asset of the Borrowers, except in the ordinary course of business, or any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of the Borrowers’ Intellectual Property or other intangible assets; (iv) any incurrence of any lien, security interest, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, restriction or change of any kind permitted or allowed with respect to any of the properties, business or assets of the Borrowers; (v) any declaration, setting aside, making or paying of any dividend or other distribution in respect of its Capital Stock or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition of any shares of the Borrowers’ Capital Stock; (vi) any setting aside, making or incurring of any Capital Expenditure or commitment, or series of related Capital Expenditures or commitments, by the Borrowers in the aggregate amount above $100,000; or (vii) any decrease in the amount of the Borrowers’ reserves and accruals, except as through the normal course of business, based on consistent methods of reserve and accrual calculations. The projections for the fiscal years ending 2009 through 2011 that have been delivered to the Lender or any projections hereafter delivered to the Lender have been prepared in light of the past operations of the business of the Borrowers and are based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which the Borrowers have determined to be reasonable and fair in light of the then current conditions and current facts and reflect the good faith and reasonable estimates of the Borrowers of the future financial performance of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and of the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein.

(b) Except as fully reflected in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto, there are no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrowers of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, would be material to the Borrowers, taken as a whole. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto, the Borrowers do not know of any basis for the assertion against the Borrowers of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully reflected in the Financial Statements or the notes thereto which, either individually or in the aggregate, could be material to the Borrowers, taken as a whole.

(c) Schedule 6.3(c) of the Perfection Certificate sets forth a complete and accurate description of the Existing Debt, including the principal amount thereof, the Existing Lender, the interest rate, the maturity date, the collateral subject thereto and the principal documentation. There is no Indebtedness outstanding except as set forth on Schedule 6.3(c) of the Perfection Certificate.

6.4 Priority of Liens; Title to Properties.

The security interests and liens granted to the Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests in and upon the Collateral subject only to the liens indicated on Schedule 6.4 to the Perfection Certificate and the Permitted Encumbrances. Each Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to or valid leasehold interests in all of its Real Property and good, valid and merchantable title to all of its other properties and assets subject to no liens, mortgages, pledges, security interests, encumbrances or charges of any kind, except those granted to the Lender and such others as are specifically listed on Schedule 6.4 to the Perfection Certificate or Permitted Encumbrances.

6.5 Tax Returns and Payments.

The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority, or have caused to be filed with the appropriate taxing authority, all returns, statements, forms, and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Borrowers and/or any of their Subsidiaries except for such filings listed on Schedule 6.5(a) of the Perfection Certificate as to which the Borrowers have properly requested an extension of time. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries have paid all taxes payable by them other than those contested in good faith and adequately disclosed for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.5(b) of the Perfection Certificate, there is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, threatened by any Governmental Authority against any of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries regarding any taxes. Neither the Borrowers nor any of their Subsidiaries have entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of taxes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or are aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. None of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries has incurred, or will incur, any material tax liability in connection with all of the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

6.6 Litigation.

Except as set forth on Schedule 6.6 to the Perfection Certificate, there is no investigation by any Governmental Authority pending, or to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge threatened, against or affecting any Borrower, its assets or business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge threatened, against any Borrower or its assets or goodwill, or against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Loan Agreement, in each case which if adversely determined against the Borrower has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower.

6.7 Compliance with Other Agreements and Applicable Laws.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.7 to the Perfection Certificate, no Borrower is in default in any respect under, or in violation in any respect of the terms of, any material agreement, contract, instrument, lease or other commitment to which it is a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound and each Borrower is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority relating to its business, including, without limitation, those set forth in or promulgated pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, ERISA, the Code, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and all Environmental Laws.

(b) Each Borrower has obtained all material permits, licenses, approvals, consents, certificates, orders or authorizations of any Governmental Authority required for the lawful conduct of its business (the “Permits”). All of the Permits are valid and subsisting and in full force and effect. There are no actions, claims or proceedings pending or to the best of any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened that seek the revocation, cancellation, suspension or modification of any of the Permits.

(c) No Borrower is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other Federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. No Borrower is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No portion of the proceeds of the Securities shall be used by any Borrower in any manner that might cause such issuance and sale or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Securities Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such issuance and sale and such use of proceeds.

6.8 Environmental Compliance.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 6.8 to the Perfection Certificate, the Borrowers have not generated, used, stored, treated, transported, manufactured, handled, produced or disposed of any Hazardous Materials, on or off their premises (whether or not owned by them) in any manner which at any time violates in any material respect any applicable Environmental Law or Permit, and the operations of the Borrowers comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws and all Permits.

The Independent Committee shall have full authority to select and engage its own outside advisors (including legal counsel) and determine any and all matters as to how best to satisfy their fiduciary duties. In addition to the foregoing, in the event the Lender or its Affiliates propose a tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, the result of which would be that Coachmen would no longer be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, then the Lender hereby agrees that it will not consummate such a transaction until it has received the approval of such transaction by a majority of the Independent Committee; provided, that, nothing in this Section 8.10 shall prevent the Holders of the Securities from exercising any and all rights that they may have pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Transaction Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code, or otherwise in law or equity.

(a) Upon the occurrence of (i) a Change of Control or (ii) an Asset Sale with net proceeds to the Borrowers in excess of $1,000,000, that in either case is not approved in advance by the Lender, at the election of the Holders of the majority principal amount of the Notes, the Borrowers shall redeem the then outstanding Notes at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Notes, plus 125% of the amount of interest (including PIK Interest on the Tranche B Notes) that would have been due to the Lender on the Tranche B Notes had the Tranche B Notes been held to maturity and no payments had been made in respect of any principal or interest on the Tranche B Notes (the “Redemption Price”). At least twenty (20) days prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control or such Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall provide each Holder of Notes with an Offer of Prepayment pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof.

Such redemption shall occur concurrently with the closing of the Permitted Revolver Financing. Thereafter, the Lender’s obligation to make, and the Borrowers’ ability to receive, Revolving Loans under the Revolving Notes shall cease entirely. In order to facilitate the Borrowers’ ability to obtain a Permitted Revolver Financing, the Holders of the Revolving Notes will agree to subordinate their liens on the Borrowers’ inventory and accounts receivable on terms that are reasonable and customary, as determined in the sole discretion of such Holders.

9.2 Offer of Prepayment

An offer of prepayment (“Offer of Prepayment”) shall be mailed by the Borrowers to each Holder of a Note at such Holder’s registered address by first class mail not more than 10 days after the occurrence of such Change in Control or Asset Sale. A Holder may accept the Offer of Prepayment for Revolving Notes only, Tranche B Notes only or a combination of Revolving Notes and Tranche B Notes. Each Offer of Prepayment shall be an irrevocable offer to prepay all of the Notes and shall state:

(a) the applicable Prepayment Date, which shall be no later than ten Business Days after the date of mailing;

(b) the applicable Prepayment Price; and

(c) that the Notes subject to the Offer of Prepayment must be surrendered to the Borrowers to collect the applicable Prepayment Price.

9.4 No Voluntary Prepayment of Tranche B Notes

. The Borrowers may pay interest on the Tranche B Notes in cash if paid on an Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Tranche B Notes). If not paid in such manner, all interest due under the Tranche B Notes shall automatically become PIK Interest and shall become part of the principal amount of the Tranche B Notes. The Borrowers shall not prepay any principal due or to become due under the Tranche B Notes prior to their maturity under any circumstances without the permission of the Holders.

9.5 Mandatory Repayments and Prepayments of Revolving Notes.

On such date there shall become due and payable and the Borrowers shall pay the entire outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans made to the Borrowers, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b) If on any two consecutive Business Days Available Cash exceeds $2,500,000, then, on the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrowers shall make successive prepayments of $500,000 on any outstanding Revolving Loans until Available Cash is reduced to $2,000,000 or less.

9.6 Optional Prepayments

. The Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Loans in whole or in part (in minimum principal amounts of $1,000,000 or in any larger integral multiple of $1,000,000) upon at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice to the Lender, in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount repaid. The aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans designated for prepayment in any notice of optional prepayment provided pursuant to this subsection shall become due and payable on the date fixed for prepayment as specified above.

9.7 Application of Payments

. Until the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, payments received by the Lender in respect of the Obligations shall be applied to interest and then principal amounts of the Revolving Notes. Prepayments and Repayments in respect of the Obligations received at any time by the Lender and any payments received by the Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST, to fees and expenses in respect of the Notes and the Transaction Documents;

(a) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Loan Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be exercised without notice to or consent by the Borrowers or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to the Lender hereunder, under any of the other Transaction Documents, the UCC or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in the Lender’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by the Borrowers of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Lender may, at any time or times, proceed directly against one or more of the Borrowers or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to any Obligor or any of the Collateral.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may upon written notice to the Borrowers, accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to the Lender (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(g) and 10.1(h), all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable).

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may, in its discretion (i) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral; (ii) require the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ expense, to assemble and make available to the Lender any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by the Lender; (iii) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral; (iv) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose; (v) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral (including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker's board, at any office of the Lender or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as the Lender may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, with the Lender having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of the Borrowers, which right or equity of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by the Borrowers; and/or (vi) terminate this Loan Agreement. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by the Lender upon credit terms or for future delivery, the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by the Lender. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice by the Lender to the Borrowers designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and the Borrowers waive any other notice. In the event the Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, the Borrowers waive the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required.

(d) The Lender may, at any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, enforce the Borrowers’ rights against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lender may at such time or times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to the Lender and that the Lender has a security interest therein and the Lender may direct any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to the Lender; (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise, and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the Obligations; (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and the Lender shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto; and (iv) take whatever other action the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, at the Lender’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to the Lender and are payable directly and only to the Lender and the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as the Lender may require. In the event any account debtor returns Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall, upon Lender’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for the Lender, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to the Lender’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without the Lender’s prior written consent.

(e) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as the Borrowers for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties; (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Borrowers acknowledge that the purpose of this Section is to provide 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 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 of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to the Borrowers or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Loan Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

(f) For the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, the Borrowers hereby grant to the Lender, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable at any time an Event of Default shall exist or have occurred and for so long as the same is continuing without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Borrowers) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, wherever the same maybe located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(g) At any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, the Lender may apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by the Lender from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in accordance with the terms hereof, whether or not then due or may hold such proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations including checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Obligations and/or as to which the Lender has not yet received final and indefeasible payment (and including any contingent liability of the Lender to any bank at which deposit accounts of the Borrowers are maintained under any Deposit Account Control Agreement). The Borrowers shall remain liable to the Lender for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the highest rate provided for herein and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses.

(b) The Borrowers and the Lender irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Miami-Dade County, Florida and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, whichever the Lender may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that the Lender shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrowers or their property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which the Lender deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against the Borrowers or their property).

(c) The Borrowers hereby waive personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth herein and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at the Lender's option, by service upon the Borrowers in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, the Borrowers shall appear in answer to such process, failing which the Borrowers shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by the Lender against the Borrowers for the amount of the claim and other relief requested.

(d) THE BORROWERS AND LENDER EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS; OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

(e) The Lender shall not have any liability to the Borrowers (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrowers in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Loan Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable judgment or court order binding on the Lender, that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. In any such litigation, the Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of this Loan Agreement. The Borrowers: (i) certify that neither the Lender, nor any representative, agent or attorney acting for or on behalf of the Lender has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Lender would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce any of the waivers provided for in this Loan Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; and (ii) acknowledge that in entering into this Loan Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the Lender is relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications set forth in this Section 11.1 and elsewhere herein and therein.

Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Lender of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise.

11.4 Waiver of Counterclaims

. The Borrowers waive all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Loan Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto (but nothing in this Section 11.4 shall limit the right of the Borrowers to bring a claim against the Lender in a separate proceeding, subject to the other terms hereof).
