Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may, in its good faith
discretion, make Advances in an amount up to (a) eighty-five percent (85 %) of

Value”); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount
of the outstanding Advances under the revolving credit facility be greater than,

($4,200,000.00) (said dollar limit the “Advance
Limit”). Lender may create or require reserves, including but

insure the prospect of payment or performance by Borrower of its Obligations to
Lender are not impaired.
- 6
-
2.1A
Term Loan. On the
closing date, Lender shall make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to Borrower in the
sum of One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00). Such loan
shall (a) not be counted in determining availability for Advances under Section
2.1, (b) bear interest as provided in Section 2.4, and (c) amortize in equal
monthly installments of principal in the amount of $30,000 plus accrued
interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or from time to
time in part, without premium, prepayment fee or penalty.
2.2 Overadvances. All
Advances shall be added to and be deemed part of the Obligations when
made. If, at any time and for any reason, the aggregate amount of the
outstanding Advances exceeds the dollar or percentage limitations contained in
Section 2.1 (an “Overadvance”) then
Borrower shall, upon demand by Lender, immediately pay to Lender, in cash, the
amount of such Overadvance. Without affecting Borrower’s obligation
to immediately repay to Lender the amount of each Overadvance, Borrower shall
pay to Lender a fee (the “Overadvance Fee”) in
an amount to be agreed upon between Lender and Borrower, but not less than Five
Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per occurrence of an Overadvance, plus interest on the
Overadvance amount at the Default Rate set forth below.
2.3 Authorization to Make Advances.
Lender is hereby authorized to make the Advances based upon telephonic or
other instructions received from anyone Lender reasonably believes to be an
Authorized Officer, or, at the discretion of Lender, if such Advances are
necessary to satisfy any Obligations. All requests for Advances shall
specify the date on which such Advance is to be made (which day shall be a
Business Day) and the amount of such Advance. Requests received after
12:00 noon Eastern time on any day shall be deemed to have been made as of the
opening of business on the immediately following Business
Day. Lender, no later than 2:30 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day
on which the request for Advances is made (or deemed to have been made), shall
instruct its bank/ financial intermediary to wire transfer funds to
Borrower. All Advances made under this Agreement shall be
conclusively presumed to have been made to, at the request of, and for the
benefit of Borrower when deposited to the credit of Borrower or otherwise
disbursed in accordance with the instructions of Borrower or in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless otherwise
requested by Borrower, all Advances shall be made by a wire transfer to the
deposit account of Borrower designated on Schedule
2.3 annexed hereto, or such other account as Borrower shall notify Lender
in writing. Borrower shall pay to Lender a funds transfer fee of
$35.00 for each Advance. Said fees shall be payable on the first day
of each month of the Term for all Advances made during the preceding
month.

2.4 Interest.
(a) Except
where specified to the contrary in the Loan Documents, interest on the Daily
Balance of the Obligations and the Term Loan of $3,500,000 or less in the
aggregate shall accrue at the per annum rate of seven percentage points (7 %)
above the Prime Rate but not less than ten and one quarter percentage points
(10.25%). In the event the sum of the Daily Balance of Obligations
plus the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds $3,500,000 in the
aggregate, then interest on the Daily Balance of Obligations and the Term Loan
in excess of $3,500,000 shall accrue at the per annum rate of eight and one-half
percentage points (8.50%) above the Prime Rate. The Obligations
shall, at the option of Lender, from and after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and without constituting a waiver of any such Event of Default, and if
the Obligations are not paid in full by the Termination Date, and without
waiving the maturity of the Obligations on the Termination Date, bear interest
at the per annum rate of twelve percentage points (12 %) above the Prime Rate
(the “Default Rate”). All interest payable under the Loan Documents
shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year for
the actual number of days elapsed on the Daily Balance. Interest as
provided for herein shall continue to accrue until the Obligations are paid in
full.
(b) The
interest rate payable by Borrower under the terms of this Agreement shall be
adjusted in accordance with any change in the Prime Rate from time to time on
the date of any such change. All interest payable by Borrower shall
be due and payable on the first day of each calendar month during the
Term. Lender may, at its option, add such interest and all Lender
Expenses to the Obligations, and such amount shall thereafter accrue interest at
the rate then applicable under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the minimum interest payable by
Borrower on the Obligations shall be calculated on a minimum daily average loan
balance of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($1,500,000.00). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all
payments of the Obligations shall be applied by Lender first to Obligations
bearing interest at the higher interest rate applicable subsection (a) above and
then to Obligations bearing the lower interest rate applicable subsection (a)
above.
(c) In
no event shall interest on the Obligations exceed the highest lawful rate in
effect from time to time. It is not the intention of the parties
hereto to make an agreement which violates any applicable state or federal usury
laws. In no event shall Borrower pay or Lender accept or charge any
interest which, together with any other charges upon the principal or any portion thereof,
exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest allowable under any applicable state
or federal usury laws. Should any provision of this Agreement or any
existing or future Notes or Loan Documents between the parties be construed to
require the payment of interest or any other fees or charges which could be
construed as interest which, together with any other charges upon the principal
or any portion thereof and any other fees or charges which could be construed as
interest, exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest, then any such excess
shall be applied to the remaining principal balance of the Obligations, if any,
and the remainder refunded to Borrower.
- 8
-
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, it is the intention of Borrower
and Lender that “interest” shall mean, and be limited to, any payment to Lender
which compensates it for extending credit to Borrower, for making available to
Borrower a revolving credit facility during the term of this Agreement and for
any default or breach by Borrower of a condition upon which credit was
extended. Borrower and Lender agree that, for the sole purpose of
calculating the “interest” paid by Borrower to Lender, it is the intention of
Borrower and Lender that interest shall mean and include, and be expressly
limited to, any interest accrued on the aggregate outstanding balance of the
Obligations during the term hereof pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b); and
any Overadvance Fee, Facility Fee, and late fees charged to Borrower during the
term hereof. Borrower and Lender further agree that it is their
intention that the following fees shall not constitute “interest”: any Servicing
Fees, any Examination Fees, any attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender, any premiums
or commissions attributable to insurance guaranteeing repayment, finders’ fees,
credit report fees, appraisal fees or fees for document preparation or
notarization. To the extent, however, that applicable law
excludes from the calculation of “interest” any fees
defined herein as interest, or includes as interest any fees or other sums which
are intended not to constitute interest, applicable law shall
supersede and prevail and all such interest shall be subject to paragraph 2.4(c)
above.
2.5 Collection of
Accounts. Lender or its designee may, at any time, with or
without notice to Borrower, notify customers or Account debtors that the
Accounts have been assigned to Lender, and that Lender has a security interest
in them and collect the Accounts directly, and add the collection costs and
expenses to the Obligations, but, unless and until Lender does so or gives
Borrower other written instructions, Borrower shall notify all Account debtors
to remit payments on Accounts by check to Lender’s lockbox to be
designated by Lender. Any wire transfers or ACH electronic payments
shall be sent directly into Lender’s blocked account. All such
payments remitted to the lockbox shall be credited to a deposit account of
Lender and into which account remittances from account debtors of other clients
of Lender may be credited. If notwithstanding said notice Borrower
obtains payment on any Account, Borrower shall receive all payments on Accounts
and other proceeds, including cash, of Collateral in trust for Lender and
immediately deposit said payments into Lender’s blocked account, with any
necessary endorsements and remit copies of said payments to Lender via
electronic mail. Any credit card payments obtained by Borrower on
Accounts shall be remitted to Lender on the day of receipt of such credit card
payment, by depositing an exchange check into Lender’s blocked
account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or before January 31,
2011, Lender shall use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to
establish a separate deposit account (“Lender’s Deposit Account”) under Lender’s
exclusive dominion and control. No funds of Lender or any other
person shall be held in the Lender’s Deposit Account or commingled in any way
with the funds held therein. Once the Lender’s Deposit Account has
been established, all checks received in the lockbox and all wire transfers or
ACH electronic payments shall be deposited in the Lender’s Deposit
Account.
2.6 Crediting Payments. The
receipt of any item of payment by Lender shall, for the sole purpose of
determining availability under the revolving credit facility provided for
herein, subject to final payment of such item, be provisionally applied to
reduce the Obligations on the date of receipt of such item by Lender, but the
receipt of such an item of payment shall for all other purposes in determining
the Daily Balance, including without limitation for the purpose of calculation
of interest on the Obligations and the calculation of the Servicing Fee, not be
deemed to have been paid to Lender until four (4) Business Days after the date
of Lender’s actual receipt of payment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, payments received by Lender after
11:00 a.m. Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Lender as of
the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

outstanding principal balance of any term loans and Advances other than under
the revolving credit facility provided for in Section 2.1 hereof, (ii) plus Ten

mail as set forth in Section 12 hereof, written objection to such statement
specifying the error or errors, if any, contained therein.

one additional term of one year thereafter (the “Renewal Term”) if Borrower
requests such Renewal Term in writing and if Lender, at its sole option, in
writing agrees to extend the Term for one (1) year from the then Termination
Date. Such request by Borrower shall be made at least forth-five (45)
days prior to the then Termination Date and Lender shall respond at least thirty
(30) days prior to the then Termination Date. In addition, Lender
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately at any time upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. No
such termination shall relieve or discharge Borrower of its duties, Obligations
and covenants hereunder until all Obligations have been paid and performed in
full, and Lender’s continuing security interest in the Collateral shall remain

of an Event of Default, or is terminated by Borrower except as provided in
Section 3.1, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of
ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a
reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower
shall pay Lender upon the effective date of such termination a fee in an amount
equal to: (a) three percent (3 %) of the Advance Limit, plus the then

9.1 Rights and
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender
may, at its election, without notice of such election and without demand, do any
one or more of the following:
(a) Declare
all Obligations, whether evidenced by the Loan Documents or otherwise,
immediately due and payable in full;
(b) Cease
advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under the
Loan Documents or under any other agreement between Borrower and
Lender;
(c) Terminate
this Agreement as to any future liability or obligation of Lender but without
affecting Lender’s rights and security interest in the Collateral and without
affecting the Obligations;
(d) Settle
or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account debtors for amounts and upon
terms which Lender considers advisable and, in such cases, Lender will credit
the Obligations with the net amounts received by Lender in payment of such
disputed Accounts, after deducting all Lender Expenses;
(e) Cause
Borrower to hold all returned Inventory in trust for Lender, segregate all
returned Inventory from all other property of Borrower or in Borrower’s
possession and conspicuously label said returned Inventory as the property of
Lender;
(f) Without
notice to or demand upon Borrower or a Guarantor, make such payments and do such
acts as Lender considers necessary or reasonable to protect its security
interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if
Lender so requires and deliver or make the Collateral available to Lender at a
place designated by Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender to enter any
premises where the Collateral is located, to take and maintain possession of the
Collateral, or any part of it, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, charge or lien which in Lender’s determination appears to be prior
or superior to its security interest and to pay all expenses incurred in
connection therewith;

(g)
Ship, reclaim,
recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, lease, license or
other disposition, advertise for sale, lease, license or other
disposition, and sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose (in the manner
provided for herein) the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a
license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks,
service marks, and advertising matter, or any asset of a similar nature,
pertaining to the Collateral, in completing the production of, advertising for
sale, lease license or
other disposition, and sale, lease, license or other disposition of the
Collateral. Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements
shall inure to benefit;
(h) Sell,
lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral at either a public or
private proceeding, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions,
for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s
premises) as Lender determines is commercially reasonable. It is not
necessary that the Collateral be present at any such sale;
(i)
Lender shall give notice of the
disposition of the Collateral as follows:
(1) To
Borrower and each holder of a security interest in the Collateral who has filed
with Lender a written request for notice, a notice in writing of the time and
place of public sale or, if the sale is a private sale or some other disposition
other than a public sale is to be made, then the time on or after which the
private sale or other disposition is to be made;
(2) The
notice hereunder shall be personally delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to
Borrower as provided in Section 12 hereof, at least ten (10) calendar days
before the date fixed for the sale, or at least ten (10) calendar days before
the date on or after which the private sale or other disposition is to be made,
unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value.
Notice to persons other than Borrower claiming an interest in the Collateral
shall be sent to such addresses as they have furnished to Lender;
(j)
Lender may credit bid and purchase at any public
sale;
(k)
Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral, as
provided herein, shall be immediately paid by Borrower. Any excess will be
remitted without interest by Lender to the party or parties legally entitled to
such excess; and
(1)
In addition to the foregoing, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided
by law (including those set forth in the Code) and any rights and remedies
contained in any Loan Documents and all such rights and remedies shall be
cumulative.
9.2 No Waiver. No delay
on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege under such Loan Documents or otherwise, preclude
other or further exercise of any such right, power or privilege.
- 23

10. TAXES
AND EXPENSES REGARDING COLLATERAL.
If
Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums
or otherwise) due to third persons or entities, or fails to make any deposits or
furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, or fails to perform any of
Borrower’s other covenants under any of the Loan Documents, then in Lender’s
good faith discretion and without prior notice to Borrower, Lender may (a) make
any payment which Borrower has failed to pay or any part thereof; (b) set up
such reserves in Borrower’s loan account as Lender deems necessary to protect
Lender from the exposure created by such failure; (c) obtain and maintain
insurance policies of the type described in Section 6.10 hereof and take any
action with respect to such policies as Lender deems prudent; or (d) take any
other action deemed necessary to preserve and protect its interests and rights
under the Loan Documents. Any payments made by Lender shall not
constitute: (a) an agreement by Lender to make similar payments in the future or
(b) a waiver by Lender of any Event of Default. Lender need not
inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, security
interest, encumbrance or lien and the receipt of notice for the payment thereof
shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and
owing.
11. WAIVERS
11.1 Demand,
Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest,
notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any
default, and notice of nonpayment at maturity and acknowledges that Lender may

guaranties at any time held by Lender. Borrower hereby consents to
any extensions of time of payment or partial payment at, before or after the
Termination Date.
11.2 No
Marshaling. Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of its
successors and assigns hereby expressly waives all rights, if any, to require a
marshaling of assets by Lender or to require that Lender first resort to some
portion(s) of the Collateral before foreclosing upon, selling or otherwise
realizing on any other portion thereof.
11.3 Lender’s Non-Liability for Inventory
or Equipment or for Protection of Rights. So long as Lender
complies with its obligations, if any, under Section 9-207 of the Code, Lender
shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping
of the Inventory or Equipment; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or
arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value
thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency or other person whomsoever. All risk
of
loss,
damage or destruction of the Inventory or Equipment shall be borne by
Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to protect any rights of
Borrower against any person obligated on any Collateral.
11.4 Limitation of
Damages. In any action or other proceeding against Lender
under this Agreement or relating to the transactions between Lender and
Borrower, each party waives the right to seek any consequential or punitive
damages from the other.
