RECITALS

Borrower has requested that Bank extend or continue credit to Borrower as described below, and Bank has agreed to provide such credit to Borrower on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Bank and Borrower hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
CREDIT TERMS

SECTION 1.1. LINE OF CREDIT.

(a) Line of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time under a revolving line of credit (“Line of Credit”) up to and including June 30, 2012, not to exceed (i) at any time (other than during each Reduction Period, as defined below), the aggregate principal amount of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00), and (ii) from and including each January 1 to and including each May 31 (with each such period referred to as a “Reduction Period”), the aggregate principal amount of Seventeen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($17,500,000.00), the proceeds of which shall be used to finance the working capital requirements of Borrower and Xxxxxx, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“Xxxxxx”) including transactions that are authorized herein. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of March 1, 2009 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (“Line of Credit Note”), all terms of which are incorporated herein by this reference. Bank represents and warrants to Borrower that Bank has not assigned, endorsed or transferred the promissory note dated as of $30,000,000.00 dated as of October 1, 2005 or the promissory note dated as of $30,000,000.00 dated as of September 8, 2006 (collectively, the “Prior Notes”) and agrees that it shall not hereafter endorse, assign, endorse or transfer the either of the Prior Notes.

(b) Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause an affiliate to issue standby, sight commercial or usance commercial letters of credit for the account of Borrower to finance the backing of imports and exports (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”);

provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the face amount of all outstanding drafts created under usance commercial Letter of Credit (“Usance Drafts”), shall not at any time exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit and the face amount of all outstanding Usance Drafts shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the variable Daily One Month LIBOR-based rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event Borrower agrees that Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by Borrower with Bank for the amount of any such drawing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, usance commercial Letters of Credit shall contain such provisions and be issued in such manner for such purpose as to satisfy Bank that any bankers’ acceptance created by Bank’s acceptance of a draft thereunder shall be eligible for discount by a Federal Reserve Bank, will not result in a liability of Bank subject to reserve requirements under any law, regulation or administrative order, and will not cause Bank to violate any lending limit imposed upon Bank by any law, regulation or administrative order. Usance commercial Letters of Credit shall provide for drafts thereunder with terms which do not exceed the lesser of 90 days or such other period of time as may be necessary for the acceptance created thereunder to be eligible for discount and otherwise comply with this Agreement; provided however, that no usance commercial Letter of Credit shall provide for drafts with a term which ends subsequent to the maturity of the Line of Credit The amount of each matured Usance Draft shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if the Line of Credit is not available, for any reason whatsoever, at the time any such acceptance matures, or if advances are not available under the Line of Credit at such time due to any limitation on borrowings set forth herein, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount of such Usance Draft, together with interest thereon from the date such acceptance matures and is honored by Bank to the date such amount is fully paid by Borrower, at the variable Daily One Month LIBOR-based rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event, Borrower agrees that Bank, at Bank’s sole discretion, may debit Borrower’s deposit account with Bank for the amount of any such Usance Draft.

(c) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings, Letters of Credit and Usance Drafts under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the applicable maximum principal

amount available thereunder, as set forth in Section 1.1(a) above. The provisions of the Line of Credit Note (as modified, replaced, renewed, or restated from time to time) are incorporated by this reference herein.

SECTION 1.2. INTEREST/FEES.

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit shall bear interest at the rate(s) of interest set forth in the Line of Credit Note. The amount of each draft paid by Bank under any Letter of Credit shall bear interest from the date such draft is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower at the variable Daily One Month LIBOR-based rate of interest applicable to the Line of Credit.

(b) Computation and Payment. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed. Interest shall be payable at the times and place set forth in the Line of Credit Note or, as applicable, in the Letter of Credit Agreement.

(c) Annual Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank an annual non-refundable commitment fee for the Line of Credit equal to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Such fee shall be payable on each June 1 through and including June 1, 2011 unless before that date the Bank has no further commitments to make Line of Credit advances under the Loan Documents.

(e) Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank (i) fees upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit equal to 1.75% of the face amount thereof, and (ii) fees upon the payment or negotiation of each drawing under any Letter of Credit and upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including without limitation, the transfer, amendment or cancellation of any Letter of Credit) determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees and charges then in effect for such activity.

(f) Acceptance Fees. For any bankers’ acceptance created hereunder by Bank’s acceptance of a draft presented under a usance commercial Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Bank, in addition to such processing and other fees as may be due to Bank in connection with such Letter of Credit, an acceptance fee for each such acceptance, payable on the date it is created, determined in accordance with Bank’s standard fees and charges in effect at the time such acceptance is created. Bank shall have no obligation to repay all or any portion any acceptance fee in the event an acceptance is paid prior to maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.

(g) Unused Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to fifteen hundredths of one percent (0.15%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit (with outstanding advances, Letters of Credit and Usance Drafts, without duplication, deemed to constitute utilization of the Line of Credit), which fee shall be calculated on a monthly basis by Bank and shall be due and payable by Borrower in arrears within fifteen days after the Bank submits an invoice therefor to Borrower. The foregoing fee shall be calculated based on a Line of Credit of $17,500,000.00 during the Reduction Periods.

SECTION 1.3. DEBIT.

Borrower authorizes Bank to collect all interest and fees due under the Line of Credit by charging Borrower’s deposit account number 4100055821 with Bank, or any other deposit account maintained by Borrower with Bank, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds in any such deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

SECTION 1.4. COLLATERAL.

As security for all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank subject hereto, Borrower shall grant, and shall cause Xxxxxx to xxxxx to Bank security interests of first priority (subject to Permitted Encumbrances, as defined in Section 5.8 below) in all Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement and Third Party Security Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, each, a “Security Agreement”).

Borrower shall reimburse Bank immediately upon demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Bank in connection with any of the foregoing security, including without limitation, filing and recording fees.

Unless an Event of Default exists, none of Borrower or any Material Subsidiaries shall be obligated to perfect the Bank’s security interest under a Security Agreement by any means other than the filing and continuation in the states in the United States in which they are formed of a UCC-1 financing statement covering the Collateral (as the term is defined in the Security Agreements), except that:

(a) with respect to chattel paper or instruments, if the amount owing to Borrower or a Material Subsidiary thereunder exceeds $100,000.00, Borrower or the Material Subsidiary shall surrender possession thereof to the Bank; and

(b) with respect to raw materials and inventory of finished goods that are in transit to the United States, Borrower or the Material Subsidiary shall either put Bank in possession of the documents of title to such in-transit inventory, or there shall be a duly filed UCC-1 financing statement of record with respect to the Borrower or the Material Subsidiary, as relevant, covering the documents of title to such in-transit inventory.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower and the Material Subsidiary shall immediately execute, obtain from third parties, deliver, file and record such documentation as Bank reasonably requires in order to perfect the Bank’s security interest in all Collateral.

Upon Borrower’s or the relevant Material Subsidiary’s request made in connection with sales or transfers of equipment, fixtures or improvements permitted under Section 6(c) of the Security Agreements, Bank shall release its security interest therein of fact and record.

SECTION 2.1. LEGAL STATUS. Borrower is a corporation, duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, and is qualified or licensed to do business (and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, if applicable) in all

jurisdictions in which such qualification or licensing is required or in which the failure to so qualify or to be so licensed could have a material adverse effect on Borrower.

SECTION 2.2. AUTHORIZATION AND VALIDITY. This Agreement and each promissory note, contract, instrument and other document required hereby or at any time hereafter delivered to Bank in connection herewith (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) have been duly authorized, and upon their execution and delivery in accordance with the provisions hereof will constitute legal, valid and binding agreements and obligations of Borrower or the party (other than Bank) which executes the same, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

SECTION 2.3. NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of each of the Loan Documents do not violate any provision of any law or regulation, or contravene any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of Borrower, or result in any breach of or default under any contract, obligation, indenture or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound.

SECTION 2.4. LITIGATION. Other than as set forth in Schedule 2.4 hereto, there are no pending, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge material threatened, actions, claims, investigations, suits or proceedings by or before any governmental authority, arbitrator, court or administrative agency with uninsured claim(s) in excess of $1,000,000.00, individually or, with respect to the claims of any one claimant, in the aggregate, or which could reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the operation of Borrower other than those disclosed by Borrower to Bank in writing prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 2.6. INCOME TAX RETURNS. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, Borrower has no knowledge of any pending assessments or adjustments of its income tax payable with respect to any year.

SECTION 2.7. NO SUBORDINATION. There is no agreement, indenture, contract or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound that requires the

subordination in right of payment of any of Borrower’s obligations subject to this Agreement to any other obligation of Borrower.

SECTION 7.10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon.

SECTION 7.11. ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them, whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the loan and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests by Borrower for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Oregon selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Oregon or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Oregon, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Oregon and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. All requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding except for consolidations with other disputes between the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the matters described in Section 7.11(a)(i) or (ii).

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding

may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY BANK AFTER OCTOBER 3, 1989 CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY BANK TO BE ENFORCEABLE.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the day and year first written above.

LITIGATION, CLAIMS, ETC.

Borrower intends to file a complaint in federal court related to a patent infringement dispute with Cole Haan Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nike, Inc. Borrower believes that certain Cole Haan styles utilize Xxxxxx’x patented technology. A likely outcome of the filing of this complaint is that litigation between the parties will commence before the matter is resolved, and Borrower anticipates that that Cole Haan may file a counterclaim (for which Borrower knows of no legal basis).

INCOME TAX RETURNS

Borrower is currently undergoing a routine U.S. federal tax examination, and Borrower is unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of such examination. However, it is likely that an adjustment will be made resulting in a payment to the IRS for such tax years currently under examination. Borrower is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to the tax year ended December 31, 2004.

SCHEDULE 2.11

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Pursuant to an Agreement as to Environmental Matters dated May 9,1997, between The Trane Company (“Trane”) and Borrower, Trane and Borrower acknowledged the presence of contaminants (including volatile organic compounds and hydraulic oil) on real property located at 0000 Xx. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, XxXxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, which property Trane was concurrently with such Agreement selling to LaCrosse Industrial Park Corporation, which was in turn concurrently leasing such property to Borrower. Borrower does not anticipate an adverse impact on its leasehold interest in such property, or environmental liabilities as to the leased property in excess of $250,000, due to the presence of such contaminants. As described in the Agreement as to Environmental Matters, Trane has indemnified Borrower from liabilities arising from these contaminants.

Claims have been asserted against Borrower by a group of performing parties (the “Performing Parties”) engaged in removing PCB-contaminated soil at the Xxxx Transformer Superfund Site in Raleigh, North Carolina pursuant to an administrative order on consent between the Performing Parties and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). The Performing Parties have asserted that Borrower is liable to them for a portion of the costs incurred in the removal action, based on Borrower’s apparent consignment of a single used electrical transformer to the Xxxx Transformer Company for resale in 1995. At present Borrower does not believe that the potential liability in this matter would exceed the threshold of $1,000,000.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE



$30,000,000.00		Portland, Oregon March 1, 2009

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned LaCrosse Footwear, Inc. (“Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Bank”) at its office at Portland RCBO, 0000 X.X. Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of $30,000,000.00, or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

DEFINITIONS:

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined:

(a) “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in Oregon are authorized or required by law to close.

(b) “Daily One Month LIBOR” means for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a one (1) month period.

(c) “Fixed Rate Term” means a period commencing on a Business Day and continuing for 1 month or 3 months, as designated by Borrower, during which all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of this Note bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR; provided however, that no Fixed Rate Term may be selected for a principal amount less than $250,000.00; and provided further, that no Fixed Rate Term shall extend beyond the scheduled maturity date hereof, however, if any Fixed Rate Term would end on a day which is not a Business Day, then such Fixed Rate Term shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) “LIBOR” means the rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest whole 1/8 of 1%) and determined pursuant to the following formula:


LIBOR =		Base LIBOR

		100% - LIBOR Reserve Percentage

(i) “Base LIBOR” means the rate per annum for United States dollar deposits quoted by Bank (A) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate, with the understanding that such rate shall be one quoted by Bank to its borrowers (whose loans bear interest in relation to such rate) generally for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference thereto, on the first day of a Fixed Rate Term for delivery of funds on said date for a period of time approximately equal to the number of days in such Fixed Rate Term and in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applies, or (B) for the purpose of calculating effective rates of interest for loans making reference to the

Daily One Month LIBOR, as the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate in effect from time to time for delivery of funds for one (1) month in amounts approximately equal to the principal amount of such loans. Borrower understands and agrees that Bank may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as Bank in its discretion deems appropriate including, but not limited to, the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market. If on any date of determination a LIBOR rate cannot be established under this Note, the rate publicly announced at that time as the Bank’s Prime Rate shall be substituted for the relevant period of time, and the LIBOR rate shall be determined again on the next interest rate determination date.

(ii) “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by Bank for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable Fixed Rate Term.

INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) as selected pursuant to paragraph (b) below, either (i) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 1.75% above the Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be 1.75% above LIBOR in effect on the first day of the applicable Fixed Rate Term. When interest is determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR, each change in the rate of interest hereunder shall become effective each Business Day that the Bank determines that the Daily One Month LIBOR has changed. With respect to each LIBOR selection hereunder, Bank is hereby authorized to note the date, principal amount, interest rate and Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto (if any) and any payments made thereon on Bank’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

(b) Selection of Interest Rate Options. At such time as Borrower requests an advance hereunder, and at the end of each Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall give Bank notice specifying: (i) the interest rate option selected by Borrower; (ii) the principal amount subject thereto; and (iii) for each LIBOR selection (other than a selection of Daily One Month LIBOR), the length of the applicable Fixed Rate Term; provided, when a Fixed Rate Term expires while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at the sole option of the Bank the LIBOR interest rate basis for the relevant loan advances shall be the Daily One Month LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time. Any such notice may be given by telephone (or such other electronic method as Bank may permit) so long as, with respect to each LIBOR selection, (A) if requested by Bank, Borrower provides to Bank written confirmation thereof not later than three (3) Business Days after such notice is given, and (B) such notice is given to Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. on the first day of the Fixed Rate Term, or at a later time during any Business Day if Bank, at it’s sole option but without obligation to do so, accepts Borrower’s notice and quotes a fixed rate to Borrower. If Borrower does not immediately accept a fixed rate when quoted by Bank, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent LIBOR request from Borrower shall be subject to a redetermination by Bank of the applicable fixed rate. Principal evidenced by this Note may be continued by Borrower at the end of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto so that all or a portion thereof bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR or to LIBOR for a new Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. At any time any portion of this Note bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR, Borrower may convert

$250,000.00 or more thereof so that it bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR for a Fixed Rate Term designated by Borrower. If no specific designation of interest is made at the time any advance is requested hereunder or at the end of any Fixed Rate Term, Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Daily One Month LIBOR interest selection for such advance or the principal amount to which such Fixed Rate Term applied.

(c) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) costs incurred by Bank as a result of future supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, increases in assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Bank with any future request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Bank among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower.

(d) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the last day of each month, commencing March 31, 2009.

(e) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to 2% above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Note; provided, (i) Fixed Rate Term borrowings shall be in an amount of not less than $250,000.00, and (ii) Daily One Month LIBOR borrowings may be in any amount; and provided further, however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount available at such time under the Line of Credit as defined in and as set forth in the Credit Agreement (defined below). The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for any Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on June 30, 2012.

(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the holder at the oral or written request of (i) Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxx, any one acting alone (or such other individuals as the president or chief financial officer of Borrower shall designate from time to time by written notice to Bank), who are authorized to request advances and direct the disposition of any advances until written notice of the revocation of such authority is received by the holder at the office designated above, or (ii) any person, with respect to advances deposited

to the credit of any deposit account of Borrower that is maintained with Bank, which advances, when so deposited, shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of each Borrower regardless of the fact that persons other than those authorized to request advances may have authority to draw against such account. The holder shall have no obligation to determine whether any person requesting an advance is or has been authorized by Borrower.

(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof. All payments credited to principal shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR, if any, and second, to the remaining outstanding principal balance of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR, with such payments applied in succession to the Fixed Rate Term advances in order of their successive maturities from the payment date.

PREPAYMENT:

(a) Daily One Month LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any portion of this Note which bears interest determined in relation to the Daily One Month LIBOR at any time, in any amount and without any penalty or prepayment fee.

(b) LIBOR. Borrower may prepay principal on any LIBOR-based advance which bears interest determined in relation to LIBOR at any time and in the minimum amount of $100,000.00; provided however, that if the outstanding principal balance of such portion of this Note is less than said amount, the minimum prepayment amount shall be the entire outstanding principal balance thereof. In consideration of Bank providing this prepayment option to Borrower, or if any such portion of this Note shall become due and payable at any time prior to the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto by acceleration or otherwise, Borrower shall pay to Bank immediately upon demand a fee which is the sum of the discounted differences for the period from the day of prepayment through the day on which such Fixed Rate Term matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

	(i)		Determine the amount of remaining interest which would have accrued on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the Fixed Rate Term applicable thereto.

	(ii)		Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the period on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Term at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term and in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.

	(iii)		If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of such amount may result in Bank incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Borrower, therefore, agrees to pay the above-described prepayment fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses and/or liabilities of Bank. If Borrower fails to pay any prepayment fee when due, the amount of such prepayment fee shall thereafter bear interest until paid at a rate per annum

2.000% above the Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed).

EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank dated as of March 1, 2009, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). Any default in the payment or performance of any obligation under this Note, or any defined event of default under the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.

MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by each Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. The non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of in-house counsel), expended or incurred by the non-prevailing party in connection with (a) the enforcement of Bank’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to Bank under this Note, and (b) the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to any Borrower or Subsidiary (as the term is defined in the Credit Agreement).

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.

[Space intentionally left blank]

This Note amends, replaces and supersedes the Revolving Line of Credit Note in the principal amount of $30,000,000.00 dated as of September 1, 2006 executed by Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first written above.

4.		Section 10 of the Security Agreement is amended to read as follows in its entirety:

PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS, TAXES, CHARGES, LIENS AND ASSESSMENTS. Owner agrees to pay or secure by bond (or contest in good faith, provided adequate reserves are made therefor and no enforcement proceedings against any Collateral has been instituted that are not stayed or dismissed within sixty days thereafter), prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the Collateral and Proceeds, and upon the failure of Owner to do so, Bank at its option may pay any of them and shall be the sole judge of the legality or validity thereof and the amount necessary to discharge the same. Any such payments made by Bank shall be obligations of Owner to Bank, due and payable immediately upon demand, together with interest at a rate at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 1.75% above the Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time (“Applicable Rate”), and shall be secured by the Collateral and Proceeds, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement.

5.		Section 12 of the Security Agreement is amended to read as follows in its entirety:

		REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank shall have and may exercise without demand any and all rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Oregon Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Owner on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Bank, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Bank of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions.

With respect to any sale or other disposition by Bank of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Owner hereby expressly grants to Bank the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of Owner’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. Owner further agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.

		COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. The non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees and all allocated costs of in-house counsel), expended or Incurred by the non-prevailing party in connection with (a) the enforcement of Bank’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to Bank under this Agreement, and (b) the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Agreement, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Bank or any other person) relating to Owner or Borrower. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Owner with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.00%) above the Applicable Rate.

The final two paragraphs of the Security Agreement are hereby amended to read as follows in their entirety:

Owner warrants that the address of its chief executive office is 00000 XX Xxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxx XX 00000, or such other address of which the Owner notifies the Bank from time to time.
