2.2. Overline. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has advised Borrower that Lender does not intend to permit Borrower to incur Obligations at any time in an outstanding principal amount exceeding the Maximum Facility; however, it is agreed that should the Obligations of Borrower to Lender incurred under the Revolving Loan or otherwise exceed that figure or any other limitation herein set forth, including without limitation, the borrowing formulas set forth in Section 2.1 above, all such excess obligations shall (a) constitute Obligations under this Agreement, (b) shall be entitled to the benefit of all security and protection under this Agreement and all Loan Documents and secured by the Collateral and (c) shall be payable immediately upon demand by Lender.

Reserves may be established by Lender from time to time and in such manner (including reduction of the rate of Revolving Advances) and for such reasons as Lender may determine from time to time in Lender’s reasonable discretion.

Lender shall not be responsible for any failure of any amount so transferred to be credited to any such account, unless such failure is due to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.5. Evidence of Borrower’s Obligations.

(a) Borrower’s obligation to pay principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Advances made to Borrower shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note executed by Borrower on the date hereof and delivered to Lender, as such note may from time to time be extended, modified, refinanced, renewed, substituted, replaced and/or redated with the written consent of Lender.

(b) In addition to being evidenced by the Revolving Note, all Revolving Advances made by Lender under the Revolving Loan and all interest due on the Revolving Loan and all other amounts due under the Revolving Loan and this Agreement and all payments made on account of principal and/or interest and/or such other amounts may be entered by Lender on its records. The aggregate unpaid principal and/or interest and/or other amounts entered and shown on Lender’s records shall further evidence the principal and/or interest and/or other amounts owing and unpaid on the Revolving Loan and this Agreement.

(c) Lender shall render a statement of account which can be accomplished by a monthly mailing of transaction activity and balances similar to what is being done presently. If Borrower fails to object to the statement within sixty (60) days after it is received by Borrower, it shall be deemed to be an account stated and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s failure to enter on such records the date and amount of any Revolving Advance or unpaid interest or other amounts shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement to repay the principal amount of the Revolving Advances made by Lender to Borrower under the Revolving Loan, together with all interest accruing and other amounts due thereon.

2.6. Payments. All payments with respect to the Obligations shall either be charged by Lender to Borrower’s account, charged as an advance or made by Borrower to Lender in U.S. currency and without any defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, or to such other address as Lender shall specify, by 12:00 noon New York, New York time on the date when due. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with any such payment. Lender may make an Advance to reimburse itself for any payments on the Obligations (including fees and expenses payable by Borrower) which are not paid when due, without prior notice or demand to Borrower, but which Lender agrees shall be reflected in the monthly statements set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall give written notice to Borrower of any reasonable legal, auditing, or accounting fees or expenses incurred by Lender (other than such fees and expenses which are attributable to periods prior to the closing hereof or which are attributable to the closing hereof, all of which fees and expenses are due and payable at the time of closing), whereupon Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to make satisfactory payment of such fees and expenses. If Borrower fails to pay such fees and expenses in full within such thirty (30) day period, then Lender may, without further notice or demand, make an Advance to reimburse itself for such fees and expenses; provided, however, that, Borrower’s right to review, object to and dispute such fees and expenses shall not be effected thereby; provided, further, however, that Borrower’s right to review, object to and dispute such fees and expenses shall be exercised in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement.

2.7. Collections/Balance/Statements/etc.

(a) Collection and Remittance. Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain the Blocked Account over which Lender shall have the sole power of withdrawal.

Subject to Lender’s rights, as set forth in Section 14, as soon as available payment is received by Lender with respect to all credits, if there are no outstanding Obligations hereunder, then Lender in accordance with and subject to applicable law, will transfer upon Borrower’s written request the funds on deposit in the Blocked Account to Borrower’s operating account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower is aware of other users of the term “TACT” and combinations including “A Consulting”, which users may be able to restrict Borrower’s ability to establish or protect Borrower’s right to use these terms. Borrower has in the past been contacted by other users of the term “TACT” alleging rights to the term.

Borrower has not received any notice of violation of any of the foregoing.

7.26. No Other Violations. Borrower is not in violation of any term of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no event or condition has occurred and is continuing which constitutes or results in (or would constitute or result in, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or other condition) (a) a breach of, or a default under, any agreement, undertaking or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its property may be affected, or (b) the imposition of any Lien on any property of Borrower. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no Guarantor is in breach or default under any agreement, undertaking or instrument to which any such Guarantor is a party or by which he/it or his/its property may be affected, nor does any condition exist which would constitute such a breach or default or result in the imposition of any Lien on any Property of any such Guarantor.

Lender acknowledges and agrees that Borrower is not making any representation or warranty to Lender with respect to those matters set forth on Schedule 7.27 hereto; provided, however, that Borrower represents and warrants that it knows of no fact or circumstance, and it has not failed to disclose to Lender any fact or circumstance known to it, that would make any such matters false or materially misleading.

Each and every account shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects, as to all matters reflected therein, unless Borrower, within thirty (30) days after the date the account was rendered, delivers to Lender written notice of any objections which it may have to any such account and in that event only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower. If Borrower disputes the correctness of any statement, Borrower’s notice shall specify in detail the particulars of its basis for contending that such statement is incorrect.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and in the event that Lender requests, Borrower shall instruct its Account Debtors to remit payments directly to Lender or to Lender’s designee. Lender may examine, inspect and copy or make extracts from all property and all books and records of Borrower at any time and all such property and all books and records shall be kept confidential in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.10 of this Agreement subject to the limitations set forth in Section 12.11. Borrower authorizes Lender to execute alone any financing statements or other documents or instruments that Lender may require to perfect, protect or establish any Lien or security interest granted to Lender by Borrower and further authorizes Lender to sign Borrower’s name on the same. Borrower appoints such person or persons as Lender may designate as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to endorse the name of Borrower on any checks, notes, drafts or other forms of payment or security that may come into the possession of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, to sign Borrower’s name on invoices or bills of lading, drafts against customers, notice of assignment, verifications and schedules and, generally, and all such property and all books and records shall be kept confidential in accordance with the requirements of Section 8.10 of this Agreement, to do all things necessary to carry out this Agreement.

Neither Lender nor the attorney-in-fact shall be liable for any act or omission, error in judgment or mistake of law so long as the same is not willful or grossly negligent. Lender agrees that it shall endeavor to give Borrower prompt written notice of any such actions but Lender’s failure to give any such notice shall not impair or restrict Lender’s rights hereunder.

14.2. Lender’s Right to Perform Borrower’s Obligations. In the event that Borrower shall fail to purchase or maintain insurance, or to pay any tax, assessment, government charge or levy, except as the same may be otherwise permitted hereunder, or in the event that any lien, encumbrance or security interest prohibited hereby shall not be paid in full or discharged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or in the event that Borrower shall fail to perform or comply with any other covenant, promise or Obligation to Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document, Lender may, but shall not be required to, perform, pay, satisfy, discharge or bond the same for the joint and several account of Borrower, and all monies so paid by Lender, including actual attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, shall be treated as an Advance hereunder to Borrower. Lender agrees that it shall endeavor to give Borrower prompt written notice of any such actions but Lender’s failure to give any such notice shall not impair or restrict Lender’s rights hereunder.

14.3. Lender’s Right of Set-Off. Lender may, at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and without any further notice to Borrower, set-off or apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, or any other Indebtedness at any time owing by Lender or any Affiliate of Lender or any participant in Lender’s loans, to Borrower to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any Obligation irrespective of whether any demand has been made hereunder or whether such Obligation is mature. The rights given hereunder are cumulative with all of the other rights and remedies of Lender, including other rights of set-off, under this Agreement, any other agreement or by operation of law or otherwise and shall also constitute a security interest in such deposits. Lender agrees that it shall endeavor to give Borrower prompt written notice of any such actions but Lender’s failure to give any such notice shall not impair or restrict Lender’s rights hereunder.

18. REMEDIES OF LENDER.

18.1. Rights Under UCC. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or upon any termination of this Agreement following an Event of Default, then Lender shall have, in addition to all of its other rights under this Agreement or otherwise (which rights shall be cumulative), all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and shall have the right to enter upon any premises where the Collateral is kept and peacefully retake possession thereof. Lender may, without demand, advertising or notice all of which Borrower hereby waives (except as the same may be required by law), sell, lease, dispose of, deliver and grant options to a third party to purchase, lease or otherwise dispose of any and all Receivables, General Intangibles, Inventory, Equipment, Investment Property or other security or Collateral held by it or for its account at any time or times in one or more public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash, on credit or otherwise, as such prices and upon such terms as Lender, in its discretion, deems advisable. Notice of any public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the security or Collateral to be sold in general terms, stating the amounts thereof, the nature of the business in which such Collateral was created and the location and nature of the properties covered by the other security interests or mortgages and the prior liens thereon and any other information required under UCC 9-613, and in the case of a public sale, is published at least once in The Wall Street Journal not less than ten (10) business days prior to the date of sale. If The Wall Street Journal is not then being published, publication may be made in lieu thereof in any newspaper then being circulated in the City of New York which Lender may elect. Without requiring notice to Borrower, all requirements of reasonable notice under this Article shall be met if such notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower at its address set forth above or such other address as it may have, in writing, provided to Lender, at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or disposition. Lender may, if it deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of any Collateral from time to time by an announcement at the time and place of the sale to be so postponed or adjourned without being required to give a new notice of sale, provided, however, that Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice of the time and place of such postponed or adjourned sale. Lender may be the purchaser at any such sale if it is public, and payment may be made, in whole or in part, in respect of such purchase price by the application of Obligations due from Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall be jointly and severally obligated for, and the proceeds of sale shall be applied first to, the costs of retaking, refurbishing, storing, guarding, insuring, preparing for sale, and selling the Collateral, including the fees and disbursements of attorneys, auctioneers, appraisers and accountants employed by Lender. Proceeds shall then be applied to the payment in whatever order Lender may elect, of all Obligations of Borrower. Lender shall return any excess to Borrower and Borrower shall remain jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

18.2. Collections; Modification of Terms. Without limiting any rights Lender may have pursuant to Section 18.1 above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may demand, xxx for, collect and give receipts for any money, instruments or property payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, or make any compromises it deems necessary or proper, including without limitation, extending the time of payment, permitting payment in installments, or otherwise modifying the terms or rights relating to any of the Collateral, all of which may be effected without notice to or consent by Borrower and without otherwise discharging or affecting the Obligations, the Collateral or the security interest granted under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.

18.3. Notification of Account Debtors. Without limiting any rights of Lender pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable law, after a Default or Event of Default has occurred, (i) Borrower, at the request of Lender, shall notify the Account Debtors of Lender’s security interest in Borrower’s Receivables; and (ii) Lender may notify the Account Debtors on any of the Receivables to make payment directly to Lender, and Lender may endorse all items of payment received by it that are payable to Borrower.

18.4. Insurance. Without limiting any rights of Lender pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable law, after a Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender may file proofs of loss and claim with respect to any of the Collateral with the appropriate insurer, and may endorse in its own and Borrower’s name any checks or drafts constituting insurance proceeds. Lender agrees that it shall endeavor to give Borrower prompt written notice of any such actions but Lender’s failure to give any such notice shall not impair or restrict Lender’s rights hereunder.

18.5. Waiver of Rights by Borrower. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein or in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower which may be applicable, Borrower waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bonds, security or sureties required by any statute, rule or otherwise by law as an incident to any taking of possession by Lender of property subject to Lender’s Lien. Borrower authorizes Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to peacefully enter upon any premises owned by or leased to Borrower without obligation to pay rent or for use and occupancy, through self help, without judicial process and without having first given notice to Borrower or obtained an order of any court.

18.6. Lender’s Rights. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to xxxxxxxx any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditor of Borrower or any other person. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and any franchise, sales or distribution agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit for such purpose, subject to any limitations set forth in the relevant license(s), franchise(s), sales or distribution agreements, including, without limitation, limits on assignment rights.

19. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

19.1. Rights Cumulative. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any other rights or remedies which it may have under any other agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise.

19.2. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is entered into for the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. It shall be binding upon and shall inure to the, benefit of the said parties, their successors and assigns. Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower, without the necessity of any further consent or authorization by Borrower, to sell, assign, securitize or grant participation in all, or a portion of, Lender’s interest in the Loans, to other financial institutions of the Lender’s choice and on such terms as are acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, and Lender shall give Borrower prompt written notice of any such assignments, securitizations or participations; provided, however, that all such successors and assigns must, to the satisfaction of the Borrower in its sole discretion, establish exemption from U.S. withholding tax and backup withholding by providing the appropriate and properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8.

19.3. Notice. Wherever this Agreement provides for notice to any party (except as expressly provided to the contrary), it shall be given by messenger, telegram, certified U.S. mail with return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight courier with receipt requested, effective when received by the corporate party to whom addressed, and shall be addressed as follows, or to such other address as the party affected may hereafter designate:

19.4. Strict Performance. The failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Lender of any Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default by Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or a different type.

19.5. Amendments. This Agreement and the other agreements to which it refers constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter and may not be changed, modified, waived, amended or terminated orally, but only by a writing signed by the party to be charged.

19.6. Waiver. Borrower waives presentment, protest, notice of dishonor and notice of protest upon any instrument on which it may be liable to Lender as maker, endorser, guarantor or otherwise.

19.7. Conflict of Laws. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York; provided, however, that if any of the Collateral shall be located in any jurisdiction other than New York, the laws of such jurisdiction shall govern the method, manner and procedure for foreclosure of Lenders’ lien upon such Collateral and the enforcement of Lenders’ other remedies in respect of such Collateral to the extent that the laws of such jurisdiction are different from or inconsistent with the laws of New York.

19.8. Expenses.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay (i) the actual attorneys’ fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel arising from the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees of such counsel of Lender incurred in connection therewith, and (ii) Lender’s out-of-pocket expenses in connection with periodic audits and appraisals performed by Lender.

(b) If, at any time prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation, or incurs legal expenses or other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with: (1) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (2) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Lender, Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Borrower’s affairs; (3) the perfection of any Lien on the Collateral; (4) any attempt to enforce any rights or remedies of Lender against Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (5) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral; then, in any such event, the actual reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such services and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees of such counsel of Lender or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section shall be payable by Borrower to Lender, and shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral; provided, however, such fees and expenses shall in no event exceed $20,000.00 per annum.

(c) If, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender employs counsel for advice or other representation, or incurs legal expenses or other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with any of the events or actions set forth in subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Section; then, in any such event, the actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses arising from such services and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees of such counsel or of Lender relating to any of the events or actions described in subparagraphs (a) or (b) of this Section, including, without limitation, the reasonable cost and expense to Lender attributable to utilizing Lender’s in-house staff for such purposes, shall be payable by Borrower to Lender, and shall be additional Obligations hereunder secured by the Collateral.

(d) Additionally, if any taxes (excluding (1) taxes imposed upon or measured by the net income or net profits of Lender; (2) any withholding or backup withholding tax, or any other tax that may arise as a result of the tax residence of the Lender, or its successor or assign, being outside the United States; and (3) any liability for interest and penalties arising with respect to such taxes; but including any intangibles tax, stamp tax or recording tax) shall be payable on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other Loan Documents, or the creation of any of the Obligations hereunder, by reason of any existing or hereafter enacted federal or state statute, Borrower will pay (or will promptly reimburse Lender for the payment of) all such taxes, including, but not limited to, any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against liability in connection therewith.

(e) Borrower shall also reimburse Lender for all other expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, fees in connection with any bank account, the Blocked Account, wire charges, ACH Fees and other similar costs and expenses; provided, however, that Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the occurrence and amount of such fees and expenses.

19.9. Reimbursements Charged to Revolving Loan. With respect to any amount advanced by Lender and required to be reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 19.8, it is hereby agreed that Lender may charge any such amount to Borrower’s Revolving Loan on the dates such reimbursement is due, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 of this Agreement. Lender agrees to provide Borrower notice of such charges in the monthly statement delivered to Borrower pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement. Borrower’s obligations under Section 19.8 shall survive termination of the other provisions of this Agreement.

19.10. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. Each party waives the right to trial by jury in the event of any action, suit, proceeding, counterclaim or other litigation to which Lender and Borrower are parties in respect of any matter arising under this Agreement or any other matter involving Borrower and Lender, whether or not other persons are also parties thereto. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waiver by Borrower is a material inducement to Lender’s entering into this Agreement and that Lender is relying on the foregoing waiver in its future dealings with Borrower. Borrower represents and warrants that it reviewed this jury waiver provision with its legal counsel, and has made this waiver knowingly and voluntarily.

20. INDEMNIFICATION BY BORROWER/WAIVER OF CLAIMS.

20.1. Indemnification. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, partners, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including with limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against Lender and/or its designated agents, and in respect of any claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from any breach by Borrower of any representation or warranty made by it herein or in any other Loan Document or nonfulfillment of any agreement or covenant of Borrower under this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, in connection with:

(a) any investigation, action or proceeding arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement, any of the Loans, any of the Loan Documents, any other agreement relating to any of the Obligations, any of the Collateral, or any act or omission relating to any of the foregoing by Borrower or its officers, directors, agents, consultants, advisors or employees; or

(b) any taxes (other than taxes expressly excluded in Section 19.8(d)), liabilities, claims or damages relating to the Collateral or Lender’s liens thereon; or

(c) the correctness, validity or genuineness of any instruments or documents that may be released or endorsed to Borrower by Lender (which shall automatically be deemed to be without recourse to Lender in any event), or the existence, character, quantity, quality, condition, value or delivery of any goods purporting to be represented by any such documents; or

(d) any broker’s commission, finder’s fee or similar charge or fee in connection with the Loans and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, provided, however, it is understood that Lender has incurred no such fee or charge with respect to this transaction.

20.2. Savings Clause for Indemnification. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Section 20.1 above may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all matters referred to under Section 20.1.

20.3. Waiver. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no claim may be made by Borrower or any other Person against Lender or any of its Affiliates, partners, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract, tort or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. Neither Lender nor any of its Affiliates, partners, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

21. MISCELLANEOUS.

21.1. Entire Agreement; Amendments; Lender’s Consent. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto) and the Loan Documents supersede, with respect to their subject matter, all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, inducements or conditions between the respective parties, whether express or implied, oral or written. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

21.2. Cross Default; Cross Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that (a) all other agreements between Borrower and Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates are hereby amended so that a default under this Agreement is a default under all such other agreements and a default under any one of the other agreements is a default under this Agreement, and (b) the Collateral under this Agreement secures the Obligations now or hereafter outstanding under all other agreements between Borrower and Lender and the Collateral pledged under any other agreement with Lender secures the Obligations under this Agreement.

21.3. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

21.4. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21.5. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents and headings preceding the text of this Agreement are inserted solely for convenience of reference and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or affect its meaning, construction or effect.

21.6. Exhibits and Schedules. All of the Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part hereof.

21.7. Consent to Jurisdiction. As part of the consideration for new value received, and regardless of any present or future domicile or principal place of business of Borrower or Lender, Borrower hereby consents and agrees that any federal or state court located in any county, in New York State, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between Borrower and Lender pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement; provided, however, Lender may, at its option, commence any action, suit or proceeding in any other appropriate forum or jurisdiction to obtain possession of or foreclose upon any Collateral, to obtain equitable relief or to enforce any judgment or order obtained by Lender against Borrower or with respect to any Collateral, to enforce any other right or remedy under this Agreement or to obtain any other relief deemed appropriate by Lender. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection which Borrower may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower represents and warrants that it has reviewed this consent to jurisdiction provision with its legal counsel, and has made this waiver knowingly and voluntarily.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their officers thereunto duly authorized on the day and year first above written.
