Agent's
discretion with respect to the maintenance of additional
reserves
against the Eligible Inventory for the purpose of determining
the
Borrowing Capacity, that such reserves may include an amount
equal to
the amount of rent, mortgage payments, fees and equivalent
amounts that
are payable by the Borrower and applicable Borrowing Subsidiary
for a
period of 90 days with respect to any location for which the
landlord,
warehouseman or mortgagee with respect thereto has not waived
or
subordinated any rights it may have in the Inventory to the
rights of
the Agent or as to which, as a condition of such waiver or
subordination, the Agent may be required to pay any such amounts
as a
condition of using such facility or removing the Inventory from
such
facility; provided that (x) such reserve of up to 90 days of
rent,
mortgage payments, fees and equivalent amounts (1) shall not
apply with
respect to the facilities located in West Chicago, Illinois and
Irvine,
California, and (2) shall not apply to the facility in Elk
Grove,
Illinois to the extent that the Borrower has prepaid the rent
(it being
understood that a security deposit does not for this purpose
constitute
a prepayment of rent) for such facility (e.g. if rent has been
prepaid
for 60 days, then the foregoing clause would require a reserve
of 30
days rent), and (y) up to $2,000,000 of Inventory in transit
which is
fully insured by insurance as to which the Agent is the loss
payee
pursuant to an endorsement acceptable to the Agent shall not

constitutes
Eligible Inventory, it is understood that (a) not more than 70%
of
Inventory in excess of sales of Inventory by the Borrower during
the
twelve months immediately preceding any date of determination
may be
Eligible Inventory, (b) not more than 70% of Inventory in excess

after October 1, 2003, and (c) not more than 50% of Inventory in
excess
of sales of Inventory by the Borrower during the

bill-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale-or-return,
sale-on-approval,
consignment or any other repurchase or return basis;
