SECTION 2. THE CREDIT
FACILITIES
Section 2.1.
Line of Credit .
Section 2.1.1.
Revolving Loans . Upon the execution of this Agreement, Bank
agrees to extend to Borrower a line of credit, so that as long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow, on a revolving basis in
one (1) or more Revolving Loans from time to time prior to the
close of business on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, amounts
which together with the amount of (i) Credits Outstanding, and
(ii) unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, do not exceed in the
aggregate at any one time outstanding the lesser of (i) the
Borrowing Base, or (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount
(the “Line of Credit”). Bank shall have the right, in
its reasonable credit judgment, to deem any payments, deposits,
guaranties or indemnifications made by Bank under any acceptance,
guaranty or similar instrument to be Revolving Loans, and Bank may,
in its reasonable credit judgment, establish such reserves as it
deems appropriate against any present or future obligation of Bank
to make payment, to deposit or to perform in respect of any of the
same. Bank may, in its reasonable credit judgment, fund such
reserves and/or charge the same to the Loan Account at such time as
it deems appropriate. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, all Revolving Loans and other payments,
deposits, guaranties or indemnifications deemed to be Revolving
Loans by Bank hereunder, shall constitute one obligation of
Borrower to Bank, secured by Bank’s security interest in the
Collateral.
Section 2.1.2.
Notice of Borrowing . Whenever Borrower desires to obtain a
Revolving Loan, Borrower shall notify Bank by telex, telegraph or
telephone received no later than 11:00 a.m. (Connecticut time)
on the same Business Day on which the requested Revolving Loan is
to be made. Such notice shall specify the effective date and amount
of each Revolving Loan, subject to the limitations set forth. Each
such notification (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be
immediately followed by a written confirmation thereof by Borrower
in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto;
provided , however , that if such written
confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken
by Bank, the records of Bank shall control absent manifest error.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall
make each Revolving Loan on the effective date specified therefor
by crediting the amount of such Revolving Loan to the Loan
Account.
Section 2.1.3.
Revolving Credit Note . Revolving Loans shall be evidenced
by a promissory note executed by Borrower in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Revolving
Credit Note”), with all blanks therein appropriately
completed, payable to the order of Bank, which Revolving Credit
Note is hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part
hereof.
Section 2.1.4.
Payment of Principal . The aggregate unpaid principal amount
of all Revolving Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, as evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, shall, unless
sooner accelerated by Bank following the occurrence of an Event of
Default, be repaid by Borrower on the Revolving Credit Termination
Date.
17
Section 2.1.5.
Interest . Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest at a
variable annual rate equal to the greater of, (i) the Prime
Rate plus Zero Percent (0%), which rate shall change
contemporaneously with any change in the Prime Rate, or
(ii) Four Percent (4%). Such interest shall be payable on the
first day of each month commencing June 1, 2009 and continuing
until such Revolving Loan is due (whether at maturity, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise).
Section 2.1.6.
Record of Revolving Loans . Each Revolving Loan shall be
recorded on the books maintained by Bank with respect to the Loan
Account by Bank. Bank shall also record on such books all payments
made by Borrower on the Revolving Credit Note, interest and
expenses and other appropriate debits and credits as herein
provided. Bank shall from time to time render and send to Borrower
a statement of the Loan Account showing the outstanding aggregate
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Note, together with
interest and other appropriate debits and credits as of the date of
the statement. The statement of Loan Account shall be considered
correct in all respects and accepted by and be conclusively binding
upon Borrower unless Borrower makes specific written objections
thereto within sixty (60) days after the date the statement of
the Loan Account is received or later presents objective evidence
demonstrating a manifest error by Bank in the preparation of the
statement of the Loan Account. Bank may also record and endorse on
Schedule A attached to and forming a part of the
Revolving Credit Note appropriate notations evidencing (i) the
date and amount of each Revolving Loan to be evidenced by the
Revolving Credit Note and (ii) the date and amount of each
payment of principal made by Borrower with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the failure of Bank to make such notation
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower
under the Revolving Credit Note or this Agreement. Bank is hereby
irrevocably authorized by Borrower to so endorse such
Schedule A and to attach to and make a part of the
Revolving Credit Note a continuation of such Schedule A as
and when required.
Section 2.1.7.
Termination . The Line of Credit and Bank’s obligation
to lend thereunder shall terminate on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (or sooner pursuant to Section 12
hereof), at which point all of the sums due and owing under the
Line of Credit shall be immediately due and payable, unless the
Line of Credit is renewed in accordance with
Section 2.1.8. hereof.
Section 2.1.8.
Renewal . Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
upon written agreement with Borrower, renew the Line of Credit for
additional periods of time on such terms and conditions as it may
elect. In the event of the renewal of the Line of Credit, the
Revolving Credit Termination Date shall be extended for a
corresponding period.
Section 2.1.9.
Prepayment . The Line of Credit can be prepaid, in whole or
in part, at any time without penalty or premium.
Section 2.1.10.
Use of Proceeds . Revolving Loans shall be used solely for
the future working capital needs of Borrower and for issuance of
letters of credit including a Letter of Credit to the seller of the
Property.
Section 2.1.11.
Mandatory Prepayment . If for any reason at any time the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall
exceed the Borrowing Base in effect from
18
time to time,
then any such excess amount shall, at Bank’s election, be due
and payable on demand.
Section 2.1.12.
Joint and Several Obligations Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that the Line of Credit is a joint credit facility extended
by Bank for the joint needs of each Borrower and their
Subsidiaries. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that their
liability under this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the
Other Documents in respect of the Obligations is joint and
several.
Section 2.1.13.
Calculation of Borrowing Base . The Borrowing Base as of any
time shall be calculated by Bank using the most recent Borrowing
Base Certificate and other financial reports delivered by Borrower
to Bank under Section 7.1.7. hereof. Bank shall have
the right, in its reasonable credit judgment, and at any time and
for any reason, to exclude any items, types or categories of
Accounts Receivable or Inventory from the Borrowing Base and to
reduce the dollar amount of (i) Eligible Accounts Receivable
by the amount of discounts, credits, allowances and returns of any
kind then outstanding, issued, granted, owing, accrued or liable to
be accrued or (ii) Eligible Inventory by the amount of special
order goods, advertising, packaging, parts, supplies, tooling or
similar items. Any Accounts Receivable or Inventory which have been
so excluded as well as any Accounts Receivable or Inventory which
are or have become Disqualified Accounts Receivable or Disqualified
Inventory for any other reason shall remain as collateral for the
Obligations notwithstanding such exclusion or
disqualification.
Section 2.2.
Mortgage Loan .
Section 2.2.1.
Amount of Loan . Upon the execution of this Agreement,
Borrower agrees to borrow from Bank, and Bank agrees to lend to
Borrower, the principal amount of TWO MILLION SIX HUNDRED FORTY
THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,640,000.00) (the “Mortgage
Loan”).
Section 2.2.2.
Mortgage Note . The Mortgage Loan shall be evidenced by a
promissory note executed by Borrower in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Mortgage
Note”), with all blanks therein appropriately completed and
payable to the order of Bank, which Mortgage Note is hereby
incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.
Section 2.2.3.
Payment of Principal . Fixed monthly payments of principal,
based upon a twenty (20) year amortization schedule, as
specified in the amortization schedule attached hereto as
Schedule 2.2.3 , will be due on the 27th day of each
month commencing June 27, 2009, subject to adjustment in
accordance with the Following Business Day Convention, until the
Mortgage Loan Maturity Date, when all outstanding principal and
accrued and unpaid interest under the Mortgage Loan shall be due
and payable in full.
Section 2.2.4.
Interest .
(a) The
unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall bear interest at
an adjustable annual rate equal to the One Month Libor (London
Interbank Offered Rate), plus three percentage points (3.00%). As
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be
19
continuing, and
subject to the terms of any applicable Hedging Contract with
respect to the Mortgage Loan, if any Libor Loan is outstanding on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto, such Libor Loan shall be automatically continued, subject
to the definition of the term “Interest Period,” for an
additional Interest Period which matches the then current Interest
Period applicable to such Libor Loan.
(b) Interest
on the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be due
and payable commencing June 27, 2009 and continuing on the
same day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter until the
entire outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan shall be
paid in full.
Section 2.2.5.
Prepayment of Mortgage Loan .
(a) With
respect to the Mortgage Loan, Borrower may prepay a Libor Loan only
upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to
Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable), and any such prepayment
shall occur only on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Libor Loan. Borrower shall pay to Bank, upon request of Bank, such
amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion
of Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred
as a result of: (i) any payment of a Libor Loan on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; and
(ii) any failure by Borrower to pay a Libor Loan on the date
due. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Bank a
“Libor Loan Prepayment Fee” in an amount computed as
follows: The current rate for United States Treasury securities
(bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond
equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the Interest Period as
to which the prepayment is made, shall be subtracted from the Libor
Rate in effect at the time of prepayment, plus the margin
applicable thereto. If the result is zero or a negative number,
there shall be no Libor Loan Prepayment Fee. If the result is a
positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied
by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid. The resulting
amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days
remaining in the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is
made. Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by
using the above referenced United States Treasury securities rate
and the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which
prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the Libor Loan
Prepayment Fee due to Bank upon the prepayment of a Libor Loan. If
by reason of an Event of Default, Bank elects to declare the
Mortgage Note to be immediately due and payable, then any Libor
Loan Prepayment Fee with respect to a Libor Loan shall become due
and payable in the same manner as though Borrower had exercised
such right of prepayment.
(b) Borrower
shall indemnify Bank against any Breakage Costs as well as any
costs associated with marking to market any Hedging Obligations
that (in the reasonable determination of the Bank) are required to
be terminated as a result of any repayment or prepayment of the
principal amount of any Libor Loans on a date other than the
scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or
otherwise in violation of any Hedging Contract as more particularly
set forth in such Hedging Contract.
(c) All
prepayments shall be applied first to all fees, costs, expenses
incurred by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement, then to any late
charges, then to accrued and unpaid interest as
20
of the date of
such prepayment and the remainder to installments of principal due
hereunder in inverse order of maturity. No amount prepaid by the
Borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loan may be
reborrowed.
Section 2.2.6.
Maturity . Except where this Agreement or any instrument
evidencing indebtedness hereunder provides that the obligations of
Borrower shall become due upon any earlier date and notwithstanding
any applicable provision permitting repayment at a later date, the
Mortgage Loan shall become fully and finally due and payable on the
Mortgage Loan Maturity Date.
Section 2.2.7.
Use of Proceeds . The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan shall be
used to purchase the Property.
Section 2.2.8.
Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Protection Agreement . Borrower
has entered into a certain ISDA Master Agreement (together with the
confirmation thereof and all schedules thereto, and as may be
amended or substituted from time to time, the “Mortgage Loan
Interest Rate Protection Agreement”) dated as of May 27,
2009 with the Bank in order to eliminate the risk with respect to
fluctuation of the interest rate in connection with the Mortgage
Loan. The Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be
effective as of such date with the payment terms and the fixed rate
as referenced therein to commence on May 27, 2009 and shall
continue until May 27, 2014 and shall, at all times, be in a
notational amount sufficient to cover the entire outstanding
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. If the Mortgage Loan
Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall expire prior to
May 27, 2014 and leave any principal of the Mortgage Loan
uncovered thereby, or if for any other reason any principal portion
of the Mortgage Loan shall be uncovered by the Mortgage Loan
Interest Rate Protection Agreement during the period of time
commencing on May 27, 2009 and ending May 27, 2014, such
uncovered amount shall be immediately due and payable. All costs,
expenses, penalties and indemnity obligations that may be incurred
by Bank as a result of the Borrower’s default under, or
termination of, the Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Protection
Agreement, including but not limited to the costs of unwinding the
Mortgage Loan Interest Rate Protection Agreement, shall be
(a) subject to immediate reimbursement by the Borrower
pursuant to the terms hereof and to the Mortgage Loan Interest Rate
Protection Agreement, and (b) secured by the Security
Agreement and all Other Documents.

21
into account
the amount of the requested Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit

the issuance of the letter of credit at Closing to the seller of
the Property.

sole and absolute discretion, then Bank shall prepare the Letter of
Credit or the Letter of Credit Guaranty in accordance with the
instructions set forth in the Letter of Credit Application and,
provided that there is adequate availability under the Line of

or a Bank Affiliate under or with respect to such Drawing, and
(ii) the amount of any taxes, fees, charges or other
reasonable costs and expenses whatsoever incurred by Bank or any
Bank Affiliate in connection with any payment made by Bank or a
Bank Affiliate under, or with respect to, such Letter of Credit or
the Letter of Credit Guaranty;
(b) upon
the reduction (but not termination) of the Revolving Credit
Commitment Amount to an amount less than the sum of (i) all
Revolving Loans and amounts deemed to be Revolving Loans as of such
date and Credits Outstanding as of such date plus

the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, or the
acceleration of the Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with
Section 12.1. hereof, an amount equal to the sum of
(i) Credits Outstanding as of such date plus
(ii) the amount of unpaid Reimbursement Obligations as of such
date, which amount shall be held by Bank as cash collateral for all
Reimbursement Obligations.
Borrower shall
pay interest on any amounts due and payable under this
Section 2.3.3. from the date such amounts are payable
(whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until paid in
full

interest applicable to Revolving Loans for three (3) days and,
thereafter, at the Default Rate applicable to the Revolving
Loans.

Obligations Absolute . The obligations of Borrower with
respect to Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties issued
under this Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable, shall
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
under all circumstances and shall not be reduced by: (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any document executed between
Borrower and a Beneficiary; (b) the existence of any claim,
set-off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time
against a Beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Guaranties (or any Persons for which such
Beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), against Bank, or
against any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated
transaction; and (c) any statement or any other document
presented under a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect, unless Bank had actual knowledge (without any
investigation having been made) that such statement or other
document was forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient.
Section 2.3.7.
Indemnification . Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Bank
and any Bank Agents, harmless from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including
reasonable legal fees and expenses) which Bank or any Bank Agents
may incur or which may be claimed against Bank by any Person by
reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or
transfer of, or payment or failure to make lawful payment under, a
Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties; provided ,
however , that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify
Bank or any Bank Agents for any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the
extent, caused by Bank’s (i) failure to act in good
faith and in conformity with such laws, regulations or commercial
or banking customs, as Bank may reasonably deem to be applicable,
or (ii) honoring a Drawing on a Letter of Credit or Letter of
Credit Guaranty issued hereunder when at the time of such honoring
Bank had actual knowledge (without any investigation having been
made) that such Drawing was forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient. Nothing in this Section 2.3.7. is
intended to limit Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Borrower
hereunder, the indemnities and obligations of Borrower contained in
this Section 2.3.7. shall survive the payment in full
of the Obligations. In case any claim is asserted or any action or
proceeding is brought against Bank or any Bank Agents, Bank or any
such Bank Agents shall promptly notify Borrower of such claim,
action or proceeding and Borrower shall resist, settle or defend
with counsel reasonably acceptable to Bank, such claim, action or
proceeding. If, within ten (10) days of

such claim, action or proceeding, Bank, or any such Bank Agents,
may retain legal counsel to represent it in such defense and
Borrower shall indemnify Bank, or any such Bank Agents, for the
reasonable fees and expenses of such legal counsel. Subject to the
foregoing, Bank shall cooperate and join with Borrower, at the
expense of Borrower, as may be required in connection with any
action taken or defended by Borrower.

regulations or commercial or banking customs as Bank may reasonably
deem to be applicable, shall be binding upon Borrower, shall not
place Bank under any liability to Borrower, shall not affect,
impair or prevent the vesting of any of Bank’s rights or
powers hereunder or Borrower’s obligation to make full
reimbursement to Bank. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of a Beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Guaranty with respect to its use of the Letter of
Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty. In furtherance of, and not in
limitation of Bank’s rights and powers under the Uniform
Customs and Practice, but subject to all other provisions of this
Section 2.3. it is understood and agreed that Bank
shall not have any liability for and that Borrower assumes all
responsibility for: (a) the genuineness of any signature;
(b) the form, correctness, validity, sufficiency, genuineness,
falsification and legal effect of any draft, certification or other
document required by a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit
Guaranty and the authority of the person signing the same;
(c) the failure of any instrument to bear any reference or
adequate reference to the Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit
Guaranty or the failure of any persons to note the amount of any
instrument on the reverse of the Letter of Credit or to surrender
the Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise to
comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit or
Letter of Credit Guaranty; (d) the good faith or acts of any
person other than Bank and its agents and employees; (e) the
existence, form, sufficiency or breach of or default under any
other agreement or instrument of any nature whatsoever;
(f) any delay in giving or failure to give any notice, demand
or protest; and (g) any error, omission, delay in or
nondelivery of any notice or other communication, however sent. The
determination as to whether the required documents are presented
prior to the expiration of a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit
Guaranty issued hereunder and whether such other documents are in
proper and sufficient form for compliance with the Letter of Credit
or Letter of Credit Guaranty shall be made by Bank in its sole and
absolute discretion, which determination shall be conclusive and
binding upon Borrower.
Section 2.3.9.
Fees . Borrower hereby agrees:
(a) To
pay to Bank or a Bank Affiliate any issuance, drawing, renewal,
amendment or other fee or charge customarily assessed by Bank or a

fee for the issuance of the Letter of Credit to the seller of the
Property.
