(a)       At the request of Borrower, Lender agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make loans (each such loan being herein sometimes called individually an “Advance” and collectively the “Advances”) to Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to make any Advance if, after giving effect to such Advance, the total outstanding Advances would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. The amount of each such Advance shall be charged to Borrower’s loan account.

 

(b)       In order to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall give written, telephonic or electronic notice to Lender, by not later than 1:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on the date the requested Advance is to be made Lender, shall make such Advance by transferring the amount thereof in immediately available funds for credit to an account (other than a payroll account) of Borrower at Lender, as specified in such notice. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall confirm in writing any telephonic notice.

 

(c)       The obligation of Lender to make Advances shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(d)       Borrower agrees that, on the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Loan, it will repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan together with accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees without presentment or demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest or notice of protest, all of which are hereby waived.

 

(e)       The Advances shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note made by Borrower payable to the order of Lender; subject, however, to the provisions of the Revolving Credit Note to the effect that the principal amount payable thereunder at any time shall not exceed the then unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan made by Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of each Advance made by Lender, an appropriate notation on the

 

7

 

 

records of Lender, reflecting the principal amount of such Advance, and Lender shall make or cause to be made, on or about the time of receipt of payment of any principal of the Revolving Credit Note, an appropriate notation on its records reflecting such payment. The aggregate amount of all Advances set forth on the records of Lender shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Revolving Credit Note.

 

5.           Interest. Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loan at the rate and at the time specified in the Revolving Credit Note. Each change in the interest rates due to a change in the Prime Rate shall take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Prime Rate. Interest may be charged to Borrower’s loan account as an Advance at Lender’s option, whether or not Borrower then has a right to obtain an Advance pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

6.           Set-Off; etc. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any Participant to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, any amounts held in any account maintained at Lender or any Participant, against any and all amounts which may be owed to Lender or any Participant by Borrower whether in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and irrespective of whether Borrower shall have made any requests under this Agreement.

 

7.           Collection.

 

(a)       At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may notify account debtors on the Receivables (the “Customers”) at any time that Receivables have been assigned to Lender and collect them directly in Lender’s own name but unless and until Lender does so or gives Borrower other instructions, Borrower shall make collection for Lender at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all full and partial payments arising from the sale or other disposition of Collateral received by Borrower their original form, except for endorsement where necessary. Until such payments are so delivered to Lender, such payments shall be held in trust by Borrower for and as Lender’s property and shall not be commingled with any funds of Borrower. The net amount received by Lender as proceeds arising from the sale or other disposition of Collateral will be credited by Lender to Borrower’s loan account (subject to final collection thereof) after allowing the number of days required by the applicable bank for collection of checks and other instruments.

 

8.           Warranty as to Collateral. Borrower warrants that:

 

(a)       All Receivables listed in Borrower’s financial statements or schedules will, when Borrower delivers such financial statements or the schedules to Lender, be bona fide existing obligations created by the sale and actual delivery of goods or the rendition of services to Customers in the ordinary course of business, which Borrower then owns free of any Security Interest except for the Security Interest in favor of Lender created by this

 

8

 

 

Agreement and which are then unconditionally owing to Borrower without defense, offset or counterclaim; and

 

(b)       all Inventory and Equipment is and shall be owned by Borrower, free of any Security Interest except for the Security Interest of Lender created by this Agreement or Security Interests permitted by Paragraph 18(c).

 

Lender’s rights to and security interest in the Collateral will not be impaired by the ineligibility of any such Collateral for Advances and will continue to be effective until all Obligations chargeable to Borrower’s loan account have been fully satisfied.

 

9.           Power of Attorney. Borrower appoints Lender, or any other person whom Lender may from time to time designate, as Borrower’s attorney with power: (a) to endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into Lender’s possession; (b) to sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any Receivables, on drafts against Customers, on schedules and confirmatory assignments of Receivables, on notices of assignment, financing statements and amendments under the Commercial Code and other public records, on verifications of accounts and on notices to Customers; (c) to notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Lender; (d) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower; (e) to send requests for verification of accounts to Customers; and (f) to do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement; provided, however, that the powers specified in clauses (c) and (d) above may be exercised only after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Borrower ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney taken within the scope of this power of attorney. Neither Lender nor the attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission nor for any error in judgment or mistake of fact or law. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Receivable in which Lender has a security interest or any Obligation remains unpaid. Borrower waives presentment and protest of all instruments and notice thereof, notice of default and dishonor and all other notices to which Borrower may otherwise be entitled.

 

10.           Location of Collateral. Borrower warrants that its chief executive office is at the address stated in the opening paragraph of this Agreement and that its books and records concerning Receivables are located there. Borrower’s Inventory, Equipment and other goods are at the location or locations as designated on Schedule A annexed hereto. Borrower shall immediately notify Lender if any additional locations for Collateral are subsequently established. Borrower shall not change the location of its chief executive office, the place where it keeps its books and records, or the location of any Collateral (except for sales of Inventory or obsolete Equipment in the ordinary course of business) until Borrower has obtained the written consent of Lender and all necessary filings have been made and other actions taken to continue the perfection of Lender’s Security Interest in such new location. Lender’s Security Interest attaches to all the Collateral wherever located, and the failure of Borrower to inform Lender of the location of any item or items of Collateral shall not impair Lender’s Security Interest therein. Borrower’s state of organization is the State of Minnesota, which has been its State of organization since the date of Borrower’s organization. Borrower will not change its state of organization from Minnesota without 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, and after Lender has acknowledged Borrower’s notice of such change in writing, and Borrower has delivered to Lender acknowledgement copies

 

9

 

 

of financing statements filed where appropriate to continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest as a first priority security interest in the Collateral.

 

11.          Ownership and Protection of Collateral. Borrower warrants, represents and covenants to Lender that the Collateral is now and, so long as Borrower is obligated to Lender, will be, owned by Borrower free and clear of all Security Interests except for the Security Interest in favor of Lender created by this Agreement and except the Security Interests, if any, permitted by Paragraph 18(c). Borrower will not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or attempt so to do (except for sales in the ordinary course of business of Inventory or obsolete Equipment) without the prior written consent of Lender and unless the proceeds of any such sale (including, without limitation, sales in the ordinary course of business of Inventory or obsolete Equipment) are deposited in Borrower’s “Main Operating Account” described in the Cash Management Agreement. After the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender will at all times have the right to take physical possession of any tangible Collateral and to maintain such possession on Borrower’s premises or to remove the same or any part thereof to such other places as Lender may wish. If Lender exercises Lender’s right to take possession of such Collateral, Borrower shall on Lender’s demand, assemble the same and make it available to Lender at a place reasonably convenient to Lender. Borrower shall at all times keep the Equipment constituting Collateral in good condition and repair. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling and shipping of the Collateral, all costs of keeping the Collateral free of any Security Interests prohibited by this Agreement and of removing the same if they should arise, and any and all excise, property, sales and use taxes imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof, shall be borne and paid by Borrower and if Borrower fails to promptly pay any thereof when due, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge Borrower’s loan account therefor. Borrower agrees to renew all insurance required by this Paragraph 11 or Paragraph 13 at least 30 days prior to its expiration.

 

12.           Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower agrees to execute such financing statements together with any and all other instruments or documents and take such other action, including delivery, as may be required to create, evidence, perfect and maintain Lender’s Security Interest in the Collateral and Borrower shall not in any manner do any act or omit to do any act which would in any manner impair or invalidate Lender’s Security Interest in the Collateral or the perfection thereof. Borrower will cooperate with Lender in obtaining control with respect to Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Investment Property and Electronic Chattel Paper (as such terms are defined in the Commercial Code). Where Collateral is in possession of a third party, Borrower will join with Lender in notifying such third party of Lender’s security interest and in obtaining an acknowledgment from such third party that is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Lender.

 

13.           Insurance. Borrower shall maintain insurance coverage on any Collateral including Receivables and other rights to payment with such companies, against such hazards, and in such amounts as may from time to time be acceptable to Lender and shall deliver such policies or copies thereof to Lender with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements naming Lender. Unless otherwise approved by Lender, each policy of insurance shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to Lender in the event of any anticipated cancellation of the policy for any reason and a clause that the interest of Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of Borrower nor by the occupation of the

 

10

 

 

premises wherein such Collateral is located for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. Borrower will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business against such casualties and contingencies of such types (which may include, without limitation, public and product liability, larceny, embezzlement, or other criminal misappropriation insurance) and in such amounts as may from time to time be required by Lender.

 

14.           Borrower’s Loan Account. Lender may charge to Borrower’s loan account at any time the amounts of all Obligations (and interest, if any, thereon) owing by Borrower to Lender, including (without limitation) loans, Advances, debts, liabilities, obligations acquired by purchase, assignment or participation and all other obligations, whenever arising, whether absolute or contingent and whether due or to become due; also the amount of all costs and expenses and all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred in connection with efforts made to enforce payment of such obligations, or to obtain payment of any Receivables, or the foreclosure of any Collateral or in the prosecution or defense of any actions or proceedings relating in any way to this Agreement whether or not suit is commenced, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred in connection with any appeal of a lower court’s order or judgment; and also the amounts of all unpaid taxes and the like, owing by Borrower to any governmental authority or required to be deposited by Borrower, which Lender pays or deposits for Borrower’s account. All sums at any time standing to Borrower’s credit on Lender’s books and all of Borrower’s property at any time in Lender’s possession or upon or in which Lender has a Security Interest, may be held by Lender as security for all obligations which are chargeable to Borrower’s loan account. Subject to the foregoing, Lender, at Borrower’s request, will remit to Borrower any net balance standing to Borrower’s credit on Lender’s books. Lender will account to Borrower monthly and each monthly accounting will be fully binding on Borrower, unless, within sixty (60) days thereafter, Borrower gives Lender specific written notice of exceptions. All debit balances in Borrower’s loan account will bear interest as provided in Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

 

15.           Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Revolving Credit Loan, Borrower hereby grants to any such Person holding a participation, and such Person shall have and is hereby given a continuing Security Interest in any money, securities and other property of Borrower in the custody or possession of such Participant, including the right of set-off as fully as if such Participant had lent directly to Borrower the amount of such participation.
