The parties hereto wish to amend the Original Credit Agreement in certain respects and to restate the Original Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as set forth below. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that effective on the Restatement Effective Date (as defined herein), the Original Credit Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.01. Definitions. The terms as defined in this Section 1.01 shall, for all purposes of this Agreement and any amendment hereto (except as herein otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires), have the meanings set forth herein:

“Account Debtor” shall mean the person who is obligated on any of the Receivables or otherwise is obligated as a purchaser or lessee of any of the Inventory.

“Acquisition” means the acquisition of (i) a controlling equity interest in another Person (including the purchase of an option, warrant or convertible or similar type security to acquire such a controlling interest at the time it becomes exercisable by the holder thereof), whether by purchase of such equity interest or upon exercise of an option or warrant for, or conversion of securities into, such equity interest, or (ii) assets of another Person which constitute all or any material part of the assets of such Person or of a line or lines of business conducted by such Person.

“Adjusted Term SOFR” means, for purposes of any calculation and subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b), the rate per annum equal to (a) Term SOFR for such calculation plus (b) the Term SOFR Adjustment; provided that if Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined shall ever be less than the Floor, then Adjusted Term SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor.

“Advance” means an advance made to the Borrower under this Agreement pursuant to Article II. An Advance is a “Base Rate Advance” if such Advance is part of a Base Rate Loan or a “SOFR Advance” if such Advance is part of a SOFR Loan.

-1-

“Affiliate” of any Person means (i) any other Person which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls such Person, (ii) any other Person which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, or (iii) any other Person of which such Person owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the common stock or equivalent equity interests. As used herein, the term “control” means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

“Agreement” means this Credit Agreement, together with all amendments and supplements

hereto.

“Bank” means Truist Bank, a North Carolina banking corporation, and its successors and

assigns.

“Bank Product Obligations” means, collectively, all obligations and other liabilities of any Loan Party to any Bank Product Provider arising with respect to any Bank Products.

“Bank Products” means any of the following services provided to any Loan Party by any Bank Product Provider: (a) any treasury or other cash management services, including deposit accounts, automated clearing house (ACH) origination and other funds transfer, depository (including cash vault and check deposit), zero balance accounts and sweeps, return items processing, controlled disbursement accounts, positive pay, lockboxes and lockbox accounts, account reconciliation and information reporting, payables outsourcing, payroll processing, trade finance services, investment accounts and securities accounts, and (b) card services, including credit cards (including purchasing cards and commercial cards), prepaid cards, including payroll, stored value and gift cards, merchant services processing, and debit card services.

The Bank’s prime lending rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate actually charged to any customer. The Bank may make commercial loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above, or below the Bank’s prime lending rate. Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or Adjusted Term SOFR will be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, or Adjusted Term SOFR, respectively.

-2-

“Base Rate Loan” means the Loan during Interest Periods when the Loan bears or is to bear interest at a rate based upon the Base Rate.

“Benchmark” means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then- current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 2.07(b).

“Benchmark Replacement” means with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Bank for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

-3-

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.07 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.07.

-21-

SECTION 2.04. Note. (a) The Advances of the Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of the Bank in an amount equal to the original principal amount of the Commitment.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) The Bank shall record, and prior to any transfer of its Note shall endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence, the date, amount and maturity of, and effective interest rate for, each Advance made by it, the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto and such schedule shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Note; provided that the failure of the Bank to make, or any error in making, any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the ability of the Bank to assign the Note. The Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse the Note and to attach to and make a part of the Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

SECTION 2.05. Maturity of Loans. Except with respect to any Advance made pursuant to an ACL Agreement (which Advance shall be repaid in accordance with such ACL Agreement), each Advance included in any Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, subject to Section 6.01, on the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections and Rates. (a) Except with respect to any Advance made pursuant to an ACL Agreement (which Advance shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Advance), each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall give the Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) (x) prior to 10:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into a SOFR Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Domestic Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be for a period of one (1) month and otherwise as contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a SOFR Borrowing based on Adjusted Term SOFR for an Interest Period of one (1) month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for SOFR Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.02.

(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any SOFR Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a SOFR Borrowing based on Adjusted Term SOFR for an Interest Period of one (1) month. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a SOFR Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the Bank shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion of any SOFR Loan shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

-22-

(d) During each Interest Period in which the Loan is a Base Rate Loan, such Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the applicable Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(e) During each Interest Period in which the Loan is a SOFR Loan, such SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of: (1) the Applicable Margin, plus (2) Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest on any SOFR Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(f) Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month and on the Termination Date. Interest on all outstanding SOFR Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and on the Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

(g) Each Letter of Credit Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, payable on demand, for each day from the date such Letter of Credit Advance is made until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(h) The Bank shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loan hereunder. The Bank shall give prompt notice to the Borrower by telecopy of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the principal amount of the Loans (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued interest thereon) may, at the election of the Bank, bear interest at the Default Rate; provided, however, that automatically any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on the Loan shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day until paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

(j) In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Bank will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

SECTION 2.07. Inability to Determine Interest Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Inability to Determine SOFR. Subject to paragraphs (b) through and (f) below, if, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing:

-23-

(i) the Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

(ii) the Bank shall have determined that Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Bank of making, funding or maintaining the SOFR Loans for such Interest Period,

then the Bank shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter.

Upon notice thereof by the Bank to the Borrower, any obligation of the Bank to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Bank revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.02.

(b) Benchmark Replacement.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Domestic Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Bank without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Bank will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

-24-

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Bank will promptly notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.07(e) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Bank pursuant to this Section 2.07, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.07.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will be not be representative, then the Bank may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative, then the Bank may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Bank, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) determined by the Bank in its sole and absolute discretion in an amount not less than $350.00 and not greater than one percent (1.0%) of the face amount of the Letter of Credit. Such Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable at the time each Letter of Credit is issued or renewed by the Bank.

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Bank an unused commitment fee equal to the product of: (i) the aggregate of the daily average amounts of the Unused Commitment times (ii) a per annum percentage equal to 0.25%. Such unused commitment fee shall accrue from and including April 1, 2024 to and including the Termination Date. Unused commitment fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Termination Date; provided, that should the Commitment be terminated at any time prior to the Termination Date for any reason, the entire accrued and unpaid fee shall be paid on the date of such termination.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

-25-

SECTION 2.09. Late Charge. In the event that the Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or the principal of the Loan within ten (10) days after the due date therefor, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank without demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the scheduled payment. The imposition and payment of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to an Event of Default resulting from such late payment.

SECTION 2.10. Termination of Commitment. The Commitment shall terminate on the Termination Date and any Advances and if demand had not been earlier made Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date.

SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, subject to the terms of any applicable ACL Agreement, prepay the Loan in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least $10,000.00, or any larger multiple of $1,000.00, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay the Advances.

SECTION 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) On the date on which the Commitment is terminated pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Advances (together with interest accrued thereon and any amounts due under Article VII) as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Letter of Credit Advances and Undrawn Amounts does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitment as then reduced. Each such payment or prepayment shall be applied to repay or prepay the Advances.

(b) In the event that the aggregate principal amount of all Advances, together with the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances and Undrawn Amounts at any one time outstanding shall at any time exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall immediately repay so much of the Advances as is necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of the Advances thereafter outstanding, together with the aggregate principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advances and Undrawn Amounts shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitment at such time.

SECTION 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loan and of fees hereunder, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the Bank at its address referred to in Section 8.01.

(b) Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(c) All payments of principal, interest and fees and all other amounts to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Advance or fee relating thereto shall be paid without deduction for, and free from, any tax, imposts, levies, duties, deductions, or withholdings of any nature now or at any time hereafter imposed by any governmental authority or by any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, imposts, levies, duties, deductions or withholdings of any nature being “Taxes”). In the event that the Borrower is required by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction of Taxes with respect to any Advance or fee or other amount, the Borrower shall pay such deduction or withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall promptly furnish to the Bank in respect of which such deduction or withholding is made all receipts and other documents evidencing such payment and shall pay to the Bank additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount received by the Bank after the required withholding or other payment shall equal the amount the Bank would have received had no such withholding or other payment been made. If no withholding or deduction of Taxes are payable in respect of any Advance or fee relating thereto, the Borrower shall furnish the Bank, at the Bank’s request, a certificate from each applicable taxing authority or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Bank, in either case stating that such payments are exempt from or not subject to withholding or deduction of Taxes. If the Borrower fails to provide such original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of Taxes or certificate(s) or opinion of counsel of exemption, the Borrower hereby agrees to compensate the Bank for, and indemnify them with respect to, the tax consequences of the Borrower’s failure to provide evidence of tax payments or tax exemption.

-26-

In the event the Bank receives a refund of any Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13, it will pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided, however, if at any time thereafter it is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly repay to it the amount of such refund.

SECTION 2.16. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.17. [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.18. [Intentionally Omitted]

SECTION 2.19. Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain or fund any SOFR Loan or to or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, the Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Bank to make SOFR Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into SOFR Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a SOFR Borrowing, the Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Borrowing for the same Interest Period and, if the affected SOFR Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such SOFR Loan if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if the Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loan to such date. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 7.02.

(a) any amendment or modification of or supplement to any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument referred to herein or therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(j) any failure to give notice to any of the Guarantors of the occurrence of any breach or violation of, or any event of default or any default under or with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(k) any partial prepayment, or any assignment or transfer, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(l) any other circumstance (other than indefeasible payment in full) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor.

SECTION 9.04. Continuing Obligations; Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IX are continuing obligations and shall continue in full force and effect until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations (and any renewals and extensions thereof) shall have been finally and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IX shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if any payment made by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor on, under or in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the recipient upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If an event permitting the acceleration of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration shall at such time be stayed, enjoined or otherwise prevented for any reason, including without limitation because of the pendency of a case or proceeding relating to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, for purposes of this Article IX and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder, such Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if such Guaranteed Obligations had been accelerated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents or of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06. Information Concerning the Borrowers. The Guarantors assume all responsibility for being and keeping themselves informed of the financial condition and assets of the Borrower, the other Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Guarantors assume and insure hereunder, and agree that the Bank shall not have any duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to the Bank regarding or in any manner relevant to any of such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 9.07. Guarantors’ Subordination. The Guarantors hereby absolutely subordinate, both in right of payment and in time of payment, any present and future indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any or all of the Guarantors to the indebtedness of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary to the Bank, provided that the Guarantors may receive scheduled payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest in respect of such present or future indebtedness so long as there is no Event of Default then in existence.

SECTION 9.08. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Guarantors hereby waive any right of subrogation (under contract, Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) or any other right of indemnity, reimbursement or contribution and hereby waive any right to enforce any remedy that the Bank now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Guarantors hereby waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Bank to secure payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Bank. The waiver contained in this Section shall continue and survive the termination of this Agreement and the final and indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 9.09. Enforcement. In the event that the Guarantors shall fail forthwith to pay upon demand of the Bank any amounts due pursuant to this Article IX or to perform or comply with or to cause performance or compliance with any other obligation of the Guarantors under this Agreement, the Bank shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid or for the performance of or compliance with such terms, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce such judgment or final decree against the Guarantors and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantors, wherever situated, any monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Agreement are continuing obligations and a fresh cause of action shall arise in respect of each default hereunder.

SECTION 9.10. Miscellaneous. Except as may otherwise be expressly agreed upon in writing, the liability of the Guarantors under this Article IX shall neither affect nor be affected by any prior or subsequent guaranty by the Guarantors of any other indebtedness to the Bank. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum amount which could be paid out by such Guarantor without rendering such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX, in whole or in part, void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, (i) the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, and (ii) any applicable state or federal law relative to fraudulent conveyances.

SECTION 9.11. Amended, Restated and Replacement Agreement. This Agreement amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement, all effective as of the Restatement Effective Date.

3. Care of Collateral. The Grantors have the risk of loss of the Collateral. The Bank shall have no duty of care with respect to the Collateral, except that the Bank shall exercise reasonable care with respect to Collateral in its custody, but shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if such property is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Bank accords its own property, or if the Bank takes such action with respect to the Collateral as a Grantor shall request in writing, but no failure to comply with any such request nor any omission to do any such act requested by a Grantor shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, nor shall the Bank’s failure to take steps to collect any income accruing on the Collateral or to preserve rights against any parties or property be deemed a failure to have exercised reasonable care with respect to Collateral in its custody. The rights and security interest herein provided are granted as security only and shall not subject the Bank to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of any of the Collateral.

4. Set-Off. In addition to the rights and security interest elsewhere herein set forth, the Bank may, at its option at any time(s) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and with or without notice to any Grantor, appropriate and apply to the payment or reduction, either in whole or in part, of the amount owing on any one or more of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, any and all moneys now or hereafter on deposit in any Deposit Account or otherwise to the credit of or belonging to a Grantor in any Deposit Account, it being understood and agreed that the Bank shall not be obligated to assert or enforce any rights or security interest hereunder or to take any action in reference thereto, and that the Bank may in its discretion at any time(s) relinquish its rights as to particular Collateral hereunder without thereby affecting or invalidating the Bank’s rights hereunder as to all or any other Collateral hereinbefore referred to.

5. Collection of Accounts.

The Bank may at any time after the occurrence of such Event of Default and without notice to any Grantor, notify any Account Debtor or guarantor thereof that the Account owed by such Account Debtor has been assigned to the Bank and is to be paid directly to the Bank. At the Bank’s request the Grantors will so notify Account Debtors and shall indicate on all xxxxxxxx to Account Debtors that payments thereon are to be made to the Bank. In the event Account Debtors are so notified, no Grantor shall compromise, discharge, extend the time for payment or otherwise grant any indulgence or allowance with respect to any Account without the prior written consent of the Bank.

(b) Each Grantor irrevocably designates and appoints the Bank, effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, its true and lawful attorney (which appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding) either in the name of the Bank or in the name of such Grantor to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, compromise, compound, receive, receipt for and give acquittances for any and all sums owing or which may become due upon any items of the Inventory or the Accounts and, in connection therewith, to take any and all actions as the Bank may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize upon the Inventory and the Accounts, including, without limitation, power to endorse in the name of such Grantor, any checks, drafts, notes or other instruments received in payment of or on account of the Inventory or the Accounts, but the Bank shall not be under any duty to exercise any such authority or power or in any way be responsible for the collection of the Inventory or the Accounts.

6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants as to Collateral.

Each Grantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to and for the benefit of the Bank that:

(a) Sale of Collateral. No Grantor will sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Bank; provided, however, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Accounts may be collected and deposited in Accounts maintained at the Bank and Inventory may be sold in the ordinary course of business for cash or on open account or on terms of payment ordinarily extended to its customers. Upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of the Inventory, the security interest and lien created and provided for herein, without break in continuity and without further formality or act, shall continue in and attach to any proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, accounts, contract rights, shipping documents, documents of title, bills of lading, warehouse receipts, dock warrants, dock receipts and cash or non-cash proceeds, and in the event of any unauthorized sale, shall continue in the Inventory itself.

No Grantor will, without the Bank’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or otherwise in accordance with prudent and reasonable business practices.

The Grantors covenant with the Bank not to locate any Collateral located in the United States at any location other than a Collateral Location without at least 30 days prior written notice to the Bank. The Executive Office of each Grantor is such Grantor’s chief executive office (if such Grantor has more than one place of business) or place of business (if such Grantor has one place of business). In addition, to the extent the Grantors warehouse any of the Inventory now or at any time hereafter, the Grantors acknowledge and agree that such warehousing may be conducted only by warehousemen who have been pre-approved by the Bank and who, in any event, shall execute and deliver to the Bank a bailee letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank. If the Grantors consign any of the Inventory, they will comply with the Uniform Commercial Code of any state where such Inventory is located with respect thereto, and shall file, cause the filing and hereby authorizes the Bank to file in the appropriate public office or offices UCC-1 financing statements showing such Grantor or Grantors, as the case may be, as consignor and the Bank as assignee of consignor, and will furnish copies thereof to the Bank. If any of the Inventory or any records concerning the Collateral are at any time to be located on premises leased by a Grantor or on premises owned by a Grantor subject to a mortgage or other lien, such Grantor shall so notify the Bank and shall if requested by the Bank obtain and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Bank, prior to delivery of any Inventory or records concerning the Collateral to said premises, an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, waiving the landlord’s or mortgagee’s or lienholder’s right to enforce any claim against the Grantors for monies due under the landlord’s lien, mortgage or other lien by xxxx or distraint or other similar proceedings against the Inventory or records concerning the Collateral and assuring the Bank’s ability to have access to the Inventory and records concerning the Collateral in order to exercise its right hereunder to take possession thereof.

(f) Collateral Status. The Grantors will promptly notify the Bank if there is any adverse change in the status of the Collateral that materially impairs its value or collectibility, or if any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims are asserted by Account Debtors which in the aggregate materially impair the value or collectibility of the Accounts.

(g) Delivery of Certain Collateral. The Grantors have delivered all agreements, letters of credit, promissory notes, instruments, certificates of deposit, chattel paper or anything else, the physical possession of which is necessary in order for the Bank to perfect or preserve the priority of its security interest therein. If at any time any Collateral is evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, the Grantors shall promptly notify the Bank and deliver such promissory note or other instrument to the Bank, duly endorsed to the Bank.

(h) Purchase of Collateral. No Grantor has purchased any of the Collateral in a bulk transfer or in a transaction which was outside the ordinary course of the business of the seller to such Grantor.

(i) Possession of Franchises, Licenses, Etc. The Grantors possess all franchises, certificates, licenses, permits and other authorizations from governmental political subdivisions or regulatory authorities, and all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other rights, free from burdensome restrictions, that are necessary for the ownership, maintenance and operation of any of their respective property and assets, and no Grantor is in violation of any term or condition thereof which would or might have a Material Adverse Effect. The Grantors have furnished the Bank an accurate and complete description of all registered copyrights, patents and trademarks of the Grantors.

(j) Records Respecting Collateral. The Grantors shall keep complete and accurate books and records and make all necessary entries thereon to reflect the transactions and facts giving rise to the Collateral and payments, credits and adjustments applicable thereto. All books and records of the Grantors with respect to the Collateral will be kept at the Executive Office (as it may be changed pursuant to Section 6(e)) and will not be removed from such address without the prior written consent of the Bank.

(k) Further Assurances. Each Grantor shall duly execute and/or deliver (or cause to be duly executed and/or delivered) to the Bank any instrument, invoice, document, document of title, dock warrant, dock receipt, warehouse receipt, bill of lading, order, financing statement, assignment, waiver, consent or other writing which may be reasonably necessary to the Bank to carry out the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and to perfect its security interest in and facilitate the collection of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof, and any other property at any time constituting security to the Bank. Each Grantor shall perform or cause to be performed such acts as the Bank may request to establish and maintain for the Bank a valid and perfected security interest in and lien on the Collateral, free and clear of any Liens other than in favor of the Bank, except that the Grantors shall not be required to perfect the Bank’s security interest in Inventory manufactured or warehoused outside of the United States.

(l) Maintenance of Insurance. In addition to and cumulative with any other requirements herein or in the Credit Agreement imposed on the Grantors with respect to insurance, the Grantors shall maintain insurance with insurance companies satisfactory to the Bank on such of the Grantors’ respective properties and assets, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily maintained by similar businesses operating in the same vicinity, but in any event to include public liability, worker’s compensation, business interruption, malicious mischief, errors and omissions, loss, damage, flood, windstorm, fire, theft, extended coverage and product liability insurance in amounts satisfactory to the Bank, which such insurance shall not be cancelled or altered (or the coverage thereunder reduced or restricted) by any Grantor, unless with the prior written consent of the Bank, or by the insurer of such Grantor, unless such Grantor gives at least 30 days advance written notice to the Bank thereof. The Grantors shall deliver to the Bank on the Restatement Effective Date and at such other times as the Bank may request, a detailed list of such insurance then in effect stating the names of the insurance companies, the amounts and rates of insurance, the date of expiration thereof, the properties and risks covered thereby and the insured with respect thereto, and, within 30 days after notice in writing from the Bank, obtain such additional insurance as the Bank may reasonably request. The Grantors will pay all premiums on the insurance referred to herein as and when they become due and shall do all things necessary to maintain the insurance in effect. The Bank may act as the Grantor’s agent in adjusting or compromising any loss in an amount equal to or in excess of $1,000,000 under any such insurance policy and in collecting and receiving the proceeds from any such policy. In the event of any loss in an amount equal to or in excess of $1,000,000 under any such policy of insurance, the insurer named therein is hereby authorized and directed by the Grantors to make payment for such loss to the Bank, rather than to the Grantors and the Bank jointly. If any Grantor shall default in its obligation hereunder to insure the Collateral in a manner satisfactory to the Bank, then the Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to procure such insurance and to charge the costs of same to the Grantors, which costs shall be added to and become a part of the unpaid principal amount of the Secured Obligations, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, shall be payable on demand by the Bank and shall be secured by the Collateral. The proceeds of all such insurance, if any loss should occur, may be applied by the Bank to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to the replacement of any of the Collateral damaged or destroyed, as the Bank may elect or direct in its sole discretion. Each Grantor hereby appoints (which appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding) the Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact with full authority to make, adjust, settle claims under and/or cancel such insurance and to endorse the applicable Grantor’s name on any instruments or drafts issued by or upon any insurance companies.

(m) Change of Chief Executive Office. The Grantors hereby understand and agree that if, at any time hereafter, any Grantor elects to move its Executive Office, or if any Grantor elects to change its name, identity, state of incorporation or organization, any tradename used to identify it in the conduct of its business or in the ownership of its properties, or its structure to other than as existing on the date hereof, the Grantors will notify the Bank in writing at least 30 days prior thereto.

(n) Waivers. With respect to each of the Collateral Locations, the Grantors will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain not later than sixty (60) days after the Bank’s request therefor such waivers of lien, estoppel certificates or subordination agreements as the Bank may reasonably request to ensure the priority of its security interest in that portion of the Collateral situated at such locations.

(o) Name and Jurisdiction of Organization. The exact legal name of each Grantor and the state of incorporation or organization for each Grantor is as set forth below:

Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated	Virginia
Basset Furniture Industries of North Carolina, LLC	North Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Direct Stores, LLC	Xxxxxxxx

Xxxxxxx Direct NC, LLC	Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx Direct SC, LLC	Virginia

(p) Control Agreements. If requested by the Bank, each Grantor will obtain and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Bank, a control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank with respect to the Collateral with respect to: (i) Deposit Accounts; (ii) Letter-of-Credit Rights; and/or (iii) electronic Chattel Paper.

(q) Marking of Chattel Paper. No Grantor will create any Chattel Paper without placing a legend on the Chattel Paper acceptable to the Bank indicating that the Bank has a security interest in the Chattel Paper.

(r) Purchase Money Security Interests. To the extent the Secured Obligations are used to purchase Collateral, the Borrower’s repayment of the Loan shall apply on a “first-in-first-out” basis so that the portion of the Secured Obligations used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order the applicable Grantor purchased the Collateral.

(s) Business Purpose. None of the Secured Obligations is a Consumer Transaction, as defined in the U.C.C., and none of the Collateral has been or will be purchased or held primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

7. Events of Default. The happening of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder: (a) the nonpayment when due of any of the Secured Obligations which nonpayment is not fully cured within the applicable grace period therefor, if any; (b) the failure to perform, observe or fulfill any covenant or obligation contained in, or the occurrence of an event of default under, any of the Credit Documents, which failure or default is not fully cured within the applicable grace period therefor, if any; or (c) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

8. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or at any time thereafter, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies available at law (including, without limitation, those provided to a secured party by the U.C.C.) or in equity to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise. In addition thereto, each Grantor further agrees that (i) in the event that notice is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to a Grantor at such Grantor’s address given below, ten (10) Domestic Business Days prior to the date of a public sale of any of the Collateral subject to the security interest created herein or prior to the date after which a private sale or any other disposition of said Collateral will be made shall constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other time shall be deemed sufficient; (ii) in the event of sale or other disposition of any such Collateral, the Bank may apply the proceeds of any such sale or disposition to the satisfaction of the Bank’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Bank’s taking, retaking, holding, preparing for sale, and selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral; (iii) without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of Collateral shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks disposing of similar property but in any event the Bank may sell on such terms as the Bank may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind; (iv) the Bank may require the Grantors to assemble the Collateral, taking all necessary or appropriate action to preserve and keep it in good condition, and make such available to the Bank at a place and time convenient to both parties, all at the expense of the Grantors; (v) the Bank has no obligation to repair, clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale; and (vi) the Bank may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Furthermore, in any such event, to the extent permitted under applicable law, full power and authority are hereby given the Bank to sell, assign, and deliver the whole of the Collateral or any part(s) thereof, at any time(s) at any broker’s board, or at public or private sale, at the Bank’s option, and no delay on the Bank’s part in exercising any power of sale or any other rights or options hereunder, and no notice or demand, which may be given to or made upon any or all of the Grantors by the Bank with respect to any power of sale or other right or option hereunder, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Bank’s right to take any action or to exercise any power of sale or any other rights hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Bank’s rights as against the Grantors in any respect. The Grantors hereby waive and release to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshaling the Collateral and any other security for the Secured Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Bank may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. If the Bank sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Bank and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Bank may resell the Collateral and the Grantors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale as and when received, less expenses. In the event the Bank purchases any of the Collateral being sold, the Bank may pay for the Collateral by crediting some or all of the Secured Obligations of the Grantors. The Bank shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall the Bank be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Bank has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Secured Obligations by collecting them from any other person liable for them and the Bank may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Secured Obligations, all without affecting the Bank’s rights against the Grantors. The Grantors waive any right they may have to require the Bank to pursue any third Person for any of the Secured Obligations. The Bank may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

9. Continuing Security Interest. Any and all of the Bank’s rights with respect to the security interests hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and the Grantors shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding the release or substitution of any Collateral at any time or of any rights or interests therein, or any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Bank in reference to any of the Secured Obligations, or any promissory note, draft, bill of exchange or other instrument or Credit Document given in connection therewith, the Grantors hereby waiving all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectually as if the Grantors had expressly agreed thereto in advance.

10. No Waiver. No delay on the Bank’s part in exercising any power of sale, option or other right hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon any Grantor by the Bank, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair the Bank’s right to take any action or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice the Bank’s rights as against any Grantor in any respect.

11. Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Bank to file Financing Statements or amendments thereto with respect to any of the Collateral in any location deemed necessary or appropriate by the Bank; each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Bank for the expense of any such filing in any location deemed necessary or appropriate by the Bank. To the extent lawful, each Grantor hereby appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact (without requiring the Bank to act as such) (which appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding) to execute any financing statement in the name of such Grantor, and to perform all other acts that the Bank deems appropriate to perfect and continue its security interest in, and to protect and preserve, the Collateral.

12. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby appoints any officer or agent of the Bank as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment constitutes a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding) with power to endorse the name of such Grantor upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment or Collateral which may come into possession of the Bank; to sign and endorse the name of such Grantor upon

any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against Account Debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts; to give written notice to such office and officials of the United States Postal Service to affect such change or changes of address so that all mail addressed to any or all Grantors may be delivered directly to the Bank; granting unto such Xxxxxxx’s said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done with respect to the above transactions as fully and effectively as the Grantor might or could do, and hereby ratifying all its said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and all transactions hereunder.

13. Remedies, Etc., Cumulative. Each right, power and remedy of the Bank provided for in this Agreement or the Credit Documents or in any of the other instruments or agreements securing the Secured Obligations or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Bank of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Agreement, the Credit Documents or in any such other instrument or agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Bank of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of the Bank to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.

14. Continuing Agreement. This is a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated by written agreement of the parties and until all of the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and all costs and expenses associated with, all of the Secured Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid. This Agreement and the liens and security interests created and granted hereunder shall remain in effect, notwithstanding the fact that at any time or from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding, in order to secure all future Secured Obligations. If this Security Agreement is revoked by operation of law as against any Grantor, such Grantor will indemnify and save the Bank and its successors and/or assigns harmless from any loss which may be suffered or incurred by them in making, giving, granting or extending any loans or other credit, financing or financial accommodations, or otherwise acting, hereunder prior to receipt by the Bank of notice in writing of such revocation.

15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in all respects, including matters of construction, validity and performance except to the extent that the remedies provided herein with respect to any of the collateral are governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than Virginia; section headings herein are for the convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of or alter or modify the provisions of this Agreement; none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified, limited or amended except by an agreement expressly referring hereto and to which the Bank consents in writing duly signed for the Bank and on the Bank’s behalf; the rights granted to the Bank herein shall be supplementary and in addition to those granted to the Bank in any Credit Documents; the addresses of the parties for delivery of notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder are as set further below. Each of the Grantors hereby agrees that all of their indebtedness, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several. No reference to “proceeds” in this Agreement authorizes any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Collateral by any Grantor.
