LLC (“ Thermo Credit ”) and the above-referenced
Client have entered into a Factoring Agreement dated as of January
28, 2008 (as amended and in effect, and together with all other
documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection
therewith, the “ Factoring Agreement
”). The Client’s obligations under the
Factoring Agreement (the “ Factoring Obligations
”) are secured by a security interest (the “
Factoring Lien ”) in all Receivables and Accounts of
the Client, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, consisting of
“Purchased Receivables” and “Records” (as

proceeds and payments related to the same and all deposit accounts
set up under or pursuant to the Factoring Agreement to receive such

”).
YA Global
Investments, L.P. (“ YA Global ”) and the Client
have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “
Securities Purchase Agreement ”) pursuant to which YA
Global has purchased certain secured convertible debentures in the
original principal amount of $3,500,000 (the “
Debentures ”). In connection with the
Securities Purchase Agreement, YA Global has been granted a
security interest (the “ YA Global Liens ”) in
all business assets of the Client (the “ YA Global
Collateral ”), pursuant to and as set forth in that
certain Security Agreement between YA Global and the Client dated
May 30, 2008 (the “ YA Global Security Agreement
”) and that such collateral includes Thermo Inventory
Collateral (as defined below) and the TCL Collateral. As
amended and in effect, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Debentures, the Security Agreement, and all other documents,
agreements, and instruments executed in connection therewith are
collectively referred to herein as the “ YA Global
Documents ” and all current and future obligations and
liabilities of any kind of the Client to YA Global are referred to
herein collectively as the “ YA Global Obligations
”.
In connection
with the foregoing, YA Global and Thermo Credit have entered into
that certain Intercreditor Agreement dated May 30, 2008 (the
“ May 30 Agreement ”), pursuant to which any
lien or security interest that YA Global may have in the TCL
Collateral shall be subordinate to Thermo Credit’s lien and
security interest in the TCL Collateral upon the terms set forth in
the May 30 Agreement.
Thermo Credit
and the Client have entered into a Line of Credit Agreement dated
as of September 9, 2008 (the “ Line of Credit
Agreement ”) in an amount of up to ONE MILLION AND NO/100
Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “ Thermo Line of Credit
”). The Client’s obligations under the Line
of Credit Agreement (the “ LOC Obligations ”,
and together with the Factoring Obligations, the “ TCL
Obligations ”) are secured by a security interest (the
“ LOC Lien ”, and together with the Factoring
Lien, the “ TCL Liens ”) in favor of Thermo
Credit in inventory of the Client, as more fully defined in the
Security Agreement between Thermo Credit and the Client dated as of
September 9, 2008 (the “ Thermo Security Agreement
”). In connection with such Line of Credit
Agreement, YA Global, Thermo Credit and the Client have entered
into that certain Tri-Party Agreement dated as of September 9, 2008
(the “ Tri-Party Agreement ”) pursuant to which
the parties agreed that (i) Thermo Credit would have a first
priority security interest in inventory of the Client with a value
of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), as reported in the books and
records and financial statements of the Client maintained in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the
“ Thermo Inventory Collateral ”) and (ii) YA
Global acknowledged that, to the extent set forth therein, its
security interest in Thermo Inventory Collateral became, effective
with the execution of the Tri-Party Agreement, junior to Thermo
Credit’s first priority security interest in Thermo Inventory
Collateral.
Thermo Credit
and YA Global have been advised by the Department of Commerce of
the State of Wisconsin (“ Wisconsin ”) that
Wisconsin will be providing financing to the Client pursuant to a
line of credit agreement of even date herewith (the “
Wisconsin Financing ”) with the Client in the maximum
principal amount of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 Dollars
($300,000.00) (the “ Wisconsin Line of Credit
”), which is to be secured by a subordinate security interest
in favor of Wisconsin on all of the Client’s business assets
(the “ Wisconsin Lien ”) as more fully defined
in the Security Agreement between Wisconsin and the Client of even
date herewith and that such security interest includes the TCL
Collateral, the Thermo Inventory Collateral, and the YA Global
Collateral.

obligations and affirm the following:
|
|
|
YA Global
hereby consents to the Wisconsin Financing, but only upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein.

applicable. In the event any such goods are returned
with respect to the YA Global Collateral such goods shall be
considered a part of YA Global Collateral.
