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.

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.

          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.

          Section 2.3.1. Issuance . Upon the execution of this Agreement, and as long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank, either directly or through a Bank Affiliate, hereby agrees to issue, extend, amend or renew Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties from time to time after the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date, either directly or through a Bank Affiliate, for the account of Borrower; provided , however , that the amount of each requested Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty, when added to the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans, all Credits Outstanding and all unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and other payments, deposits, guaranties or indemnifications deemed to be Revolving Loans under Section 2.1.1. hereof, does not exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount in effect from time to time and provided , further , that the aggregate amount of Credits Outstanding and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations (after taking


 

21

into account the amount of the requested Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty) shall not exceed TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,700,000.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of each Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty other than documentary letters of credit shall be made on a case by case basis in the sole and absolute discretion of Bank other than the issuance of the letter of credit at Closing to the seller of the Property.

          Section 2.3.2. Application . Borrower shall request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty by its execution and delivery to Bank of an application in such form as Bank may require from time to time (the “Letter of Credit Application”). If the Letter of Credit Application is acceptable to Bank, in its 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 Credit as set forth in Section 2.3.1. above, issue the Letter of Credit or the Letter of Credit Guaranty to the Beneficiary thereof unless otherwise instructed by Borrower. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Guaranty which provides for an expiration date later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

          Section 2.3.3. Reimbursement . Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be obligated to reimburse Bank in respect of obligations under Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Guaranties:

          (a) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, or the applicable Letter of Credit Application, on each date that any Drawing is honored by Bank or a Bank Affiliate, Bank or a Bank Affiliate or otherwise makes a payment with respect thereto, and only to the extent that such Drawing is not deemed to be a Revolving Loan under Section 2.1.1. hereof, (i) the amount paid by Bank 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 (ii) the amount of unpaid Reimbursement Obligations as of such date, an amount equal to any such difference, which amount shall be held by Bank as cash collateral for all Reimbursement Obligations; and

          (c) upon 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


 

22

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

          Section 2.3.4. Debit to Line of Credit . Bank shall be entitled, in its sole and absolute discretion, to debit the amount of any Drawing as well as any fees, costs and expenses incurred by Bank or a Bank Affiliate in connection with such Drawing against the Line of Credit and deem such amount to be Revolving Loans under Section 2.1.1. hereof.

          Section 2.3.5. Termination of Obligation . The obligation of Bank to issue Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranties under this Section 2.3. shall terminate thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date or any renewal thereof.

          Section 2.3.6. 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


 

23

Borrower’s receipt of such notice, Borrower does not commence and continue to prosecute the defense 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.

          Section 2.3.8. Liability of Bank . Any action, inaction or omission on the part of Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Guaranty issued hereunder or related instruments or documents, if in good faith and in conformity with such laws, 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.

          (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, to pay to Bank a Letter of Credit Fee in the amount equal to the product of two percent (2.0%) multiplied by the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit available to be drawn hereunder on the Closing Date, which fee is deemed upon
