In addition, the Bank’s agreement to advance funds respecting the Revolving Loans shall expire on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall be no further advances respecting the Revolving Loans.

Overadvances. If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base or (ii) the Maximum Facility Amount (such excess being hereinafter referred to as an “Overadvance”), either without Bank’s consent, including, as the result of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory becoming ineligible (an “Unintentional Overadvance”) or with Bank’s consent, as the result of Bank’s making additional advances in its discretion that result in an Overadvance (a “Permitted Overadvance”), Borrower shall (i) in the case of an Unintentional Overadvance, on demand made by Bank, forthwith pay to Bank such amount as will eliminate the Overadvance; and (ii) in the case of a Permitted Overadvance, pay to the Bank, on the date specified by the Bank, such amount as will eliminate the Overadvance.

Each statement shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error and deemed to have been accepted by the Borrower and shall be binding upon the Borrower in respect of the Loan balance and all charges, debits and credits of whatsoever nature contained therein respecting the Credit Extensions, unless the Borrower notifies the Bank in writing of any discrepancy within twenty (20) days from the mailing by the Bank to the Borrower of any such monthly statement. At the option of the Bank, all payments in respect of any Obligation will automatically be debited from any of the Borrower’s accounts, as elected by the Bank.

(b)

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Bank to pay fully all amounts of principal of the Loans, interest and fees, if any, then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, to the payment of all fees and expenses due from the Borrower to the Bank, other than late fees; (ii) second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, ratably in proportion to the interest accrued as to each Loan; (iii) third, to the payment of principal on the Loans then due hereunder, and (iv) fourth, to the payment of all late fees due from the Borrower to the Bank.

Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Bank and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Increased Costs. If at any time the Bank determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any law, statute, rule, regulation or other similar Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to the Bank of making, funding or maintaining any Credit Extension or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, or (ii) imposing any other cost to the Bank with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increased cost.

(c)

Increased Capital Requirements.

In addition, each Borrower named herein hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained herein and in the Loan Documents shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Borrower named herein as well as all Borrowers taken together. Except as otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents, each Borrower subordinates all intercompany debt that it may have from or against any other Borrower, Affiliate or Subsidiary to the obligations owing to the Bank.

Each Borrower guarantees to the Bank the payment in full of all of the Obligations owed by each other Borrower and further guarantees the due performance by each other Borrower of its respective duties and covenants made in favor of the Bank hereunder and in the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither this cross guaranty nor the joint and several liability of each Borrower provided herein nor the Bank’s liens and rights in any of the Collateral shall be impaired or affected by any modification, supplement, extension or amendment of any contract or agreement to which the parties hereto may hereafter agree, nor by any modification, release or other alteration of any of the rights of the Bank with respect to any of the Collateral, nor by any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Bank with respect to any of the obligations, nor by any other agreements or arrangements whatever with any other Borrower or with any other Person, each Borrower hereby waiving all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consenting to be bound thereby as fully and effectively as if it had expressly agreed thereto in advance. Except as may be expressly stated herein to the contrary, the liability of each Borrower hereunder is direct and unconditional as to all of the obligations (except as may be expressly stated herein to the contrary), and may be enforced without requiring the Bank first to resort to any other right, remedy or security.

3.4 Inspection. The Bank, or its representatives, at such times as are set forth in No. 3 of the Annex, shall have the right at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, and each Entity Loan Party will permit the Bank and/or its representatives: (a) to examine, check, make copies of or extracts from any of such Entity Loan Party’s books, records and files (including, without limitation, orders and original correspondence); (b) to perform field exams or otherwise inspect and examine the Collateral and to check, test or appraise the same as to age, quality, quantity, value and condition; and (c) to verify the Collateral or any portion or portions thereof or any Entity Loan Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. The costs of such field exams and inspections shall consist of a per-person auditor charge as are set forth in No. 3 of the Annex or the actual costs if such auditor is retained by the Bank. Each Entity Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed or engaged by such Entity Loan Party at any time during the term of this Agreement and all data processing centers or other persons having information relevant to such Entity Loan Party’s financial condition to deliver copies of all materials in their possession to the Bank upon the Bank’s request therefor.

3.5 Purchase Money Security Interests. To the extent Borrower uses proceeds of any Loans to purchase Collateral, the repayment of such Loans shall be on a “first-in-first-out” basis so that the portion of the Loan used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be repaid in the order in which Borrower purchased such item of Collateral.

3.6 Search Reports and Credit Reports. Bank shall receive, prior to the date of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter as Bank may determine in its reasonable discretion, UCC search results under all names used by each Loan Party during the prior five (5) years, from each jurisdiction where any Collateral is located, from the State, if any, where each Loan Party is organized and registered, the State where each Loan Party’s chief executive office is located and all other locations deemed necessary by the Bank. The search results shall confirm that the Lien on the Collateral granted Bank hereunder is prior to all other Liens in favor of any other Person. The Bank is authorized to make all inquiries the Bank deems necessary to verify the accuracy of the information in respect of each Loan Party contained in the Loan Documents and to determine the credit worthiness of each Loan Party. Each Loan Party authorizes any Person or credit reporting agency to give to the Bank any information it may have on such Loan Party. Each Loan Party authorizes the Bank to answer questions about such Loan Party’s credit experience with the Bank.

3.7 Further Assurances. Each Loan Party will, at the request of the Bank, from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute and deliver to Bank such documents, and take or cause to be taken, all such other or further action, as Bank may request in order to effect and confirm or vest in Bank all rights contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, to correct clerical errors) or to vest more fully in or assure to the Bank the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Bank by this Agreement or to comply with applicable statute or law and to facilitate the collection of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the execution of stock transfer orders and stock powers, endorsement of promissory notes and instruments and notifications to obligors on the Collateral).

Each Loan Party agrees to furnish any such information to Bank promptly upon request. In addition, such Loan Party shall at any time and from time to time take such steps as Bank may reasonably request for Bank (i) to obtain an acknowledgement, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, of any bailee having possession of any of the Collateral that the bailee holds such Collateral for Bank, (ii) to obtain control of any Collateral comprised of deposit accounts, electronic chattel paper, letter of credit rights or investment property, with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, (iii) to obtain a mortgage or deed of trust on any real property owned by such Loan Party and to obtain all necessary surveys, title insurance and other requirements in connection with such mortgage or deed of trust, and (iv) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of Bank’s security interest in any of the Collateral and the preservation of its rights therein. Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Bank its attorney-in-fact to execute, if necessary, and file all filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, all Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Collateral is released.

Each Security Document is effective to create in favor of the Bank a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral pledged thereunder and when (i) financing statements in appropriate form, properly describing the Collateral and identifying the appropriate Loan Party as debtor and identifying the Bank as the secured party are filed in the office of the secretary of state of the jurisdiction of organization of each applicable Loan Party or such other office specified by the Code as necessary for perfection, (ii) the Bank obtains control of Collateral consisting of investment property and possession of Collateral consisting of instruments and (iii) appropriate documents with respect to Intellectual Property, if any, are filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, the security interest granted to the Bank shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than with respect to Permitted Liens.

4.7 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) the filing of financing statements and other documents contemplated by Section 4.6 (and appropriate amendments and continuations of financing statements that may be required under the Code to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens of the Bank on the Collateral) and (ii) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the Organizational Documents of any Entity Loan Party or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to any of them, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party (other than Liens in favor of the Bank).

4.8 Permits. Each Loan Party possesses or has the right to use, and is in compliance with, all Permits and other rights that are material to the conduct of its business and knows of no conflict with the valid rights of others which could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no event has occurred which permits or, after notice, lapse of time (or both) or any other condition, could reasonably be expected to permit, the revocation or termination of any such franchise, license or other right which revocation or termination could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 Litigation and Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9:

(a)

There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party (i) that, if adversely determined, could be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions.

(b)

No Loan Party (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any Permit or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

4.11 Compliance with Law and Agreements. Each Loan Party is in compliance in all material respects with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property. No default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument has occurred and is continuing or would result from the incurrence of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or from the grant or perfection of the Liens granted to the Bank under this Agreement.

4.12 Financial Statements. Each Loan Party has heretofore furnished to the Bank the financial statements as required by the Bank. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Loan Parties and any other entities reflected therein as of such dates and for the indicated periods in accordance with GAAP (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of quarterly statements) and are consistent with the books and records of the Borrower (which books and records are correct and complete). Since December 31, 2020, the Loan Parties have conducted their business only in the ordinary course and there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

4.13 Accounts and Contract Rights. With respect to each Account Receivable: (i) no transaction giving rise to such Account Receivable violated or will violate any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or ordinance, (ii) no Account Receivable is subject to terms prohibiting the assignment thereof or requiring notice or consent to such assignment, except for notices and consents that have been given or obtained, as the case may be, and (iii) each such Account Receivable represents a bona fide transaction which requires no further act on any Loan Party’s part to make such Account Receivable payable by the account debtor with respect thereto, and, to each Loan Party’s knowledge, such Account Receivable is not subject to any offsets or deductions other than credits and discounts to customers in the ordinary course of business and does not represent any consignment sales, guaranteed sale, conditional sale, installment sale, sale-or-return or other similar understanding or any obligation of any Affiliate of such Entity Loan Party. No contract right, Account Receivable, general intangible or chattel paper is or will be represented by an instrument, and no contract right, account or general intangible is, or will be represented by any conditional or installment sales obligation or other chattel paper.

4.14 Title to Collateral. Each Loan Party has good and valid rights in and title to the Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest under the Security Documents and has full power and authority to grant to the Bank a Lien on such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval which has been obtained. The Collateral owned or held by or on behalf of any Loan Party is so owned or held by it free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens. The Lien of the Bank on the Collateral is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens which by operation of law have priority over such Lien.

4.15 Location of Collateral. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, no Collateral is in the possession of, or under the control of, any Person other than a Loan Party or the Bank. Except for inventory sold or in transit for sale in the ordinary course of business, each Loan Party will keep all inventory and equipment only at locations in the continental United States specified in this Agreement or specified to the Bank in writing.

None of the Collateral is used or was acquired primarily for personal, family or household purposes.

4.18 Labor Matters. As of the date hereof, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All material payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or, to the extent required by GAAP, accrued as a liability on the books of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound.

4.19 Insurance. Schedule 4.19 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof. As of the date hereof, all premiums in respect of such insurance that are due and payable have been paid.

4.20 Solvency. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and before and after giving effect to the making of each Loan, each Loan Party is Solvent. No transfer of property has been or will be made by any Loan Party and no obligation has been or will be incurred by any Loan Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud either present or future creditors of any Loan Party.

4.21 Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Bank all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which any Loan Party or any Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually, could be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information furnished by or on behalf of any Entity Loan Party or any Subsidiary to the Bank in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents or delivered thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that, with respect to projected financial information, each Loan Party represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time and there can be no assurance that actual results will comport with such projections.

4.22 ERISA. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Tax Code and other federal or state Laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Tax Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. The Loan Parties and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Tax Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Tax Code has been made with respect to any Plan. No Lien imposed under the Tax Code or ERISA exists or is likely to arise on account of any Plan. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

None of the Borrower, any of the other Loan Parties or any other Affiliate of the Borrower: (i) is a person named on the list of Specially Designated Nationals or Blocked Persons maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) available at http://www.treas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sdn/index.html, or as otherwise published from time to time; (ii) is (A) an agency of the government of a country, (B) an organization controlled by a country, or (C) a person resident in a country that is subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at http://www.treas.gov/offices/eotffc/ofac/sanctions/index.html, or as otherwise published from time to time, as such program may be applicable to such agency, organization or person; or (iii) derives any of its assets or operating income from investments in or transactions with any such country, agency, organization or person; and none of the proceeds from the Credit Extensions will be used to finance any operations, investments or activities in, or make any payments to, any such country, agency, organization, or person.

5.11 Insurance. Each Loan Party will maintain in full force and effect property insurance on all Collateral and any other property of each Loan Party, if any, and maintain insurance against such risks of liability (including business interruption insurance) as specified in No. 6 of the Annex. Such insurance policies shall name the Bank as an additional insured with respect to liability coverage and lender loss payee with respect to casualty and business interruption coverage, as applicable, and shall provide that, with respect to property claims affecting the Collateral, no loss shall be adjusted thereunder without the Bank’s approval.

7.2 Acceleration; Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall exist, at the election of the Bank, but automatically in the case of an Event of Default under Sections (k) and (l) above, all commitments to extend credit (if any) shall terminate and all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable without notice or demand. The Bank is hereby authorized, at its election, after an Event of Default, without any further demand or notice except to such extent as notice may be required by applicable law, to terminate any commitment to extend credit hereunder (if applicable) and to take possession and/or sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale; and the Bank may also exercise any and all other rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or which are otherwise accorded to it in equity or at law, all as Bank may determine, and such exercise of rights in compliance with the requirements of law will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral. If notice of a sale or other action by the Bank is required by applicable law, unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, each Loan Party agrees that ten (10) days’ written notice to such Loan Party, or the shortest period of written notice permitted by such law, whichever is smaller, shall be sufficient notice; and that to the extent permitted by law, the Bank, Bank Affiliates, its officers, attorneys and agents may bid and become purchasers at any such sale, if public, and may purchase at any private sale any of the Collateral that is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market or which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations. Any sale (public or private) shall be without warranty and free from any right of redemption, which such Loan Party hereby waives and releases. No purchaser at any sale (public or private) shall be responsible for the application of the purchase money. Upon demand by the Bank, each Loan Party shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Bank at a place designated by the Bank which is reasonably convenient to the Bank and such Loan Party. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that the Bank has extended credit and other financial accommodations to the Borrower upon reliance of such Loan Party’s granting the Bank the rights and remedies contained in this Agreement including without limitation the right to take immediate possession of the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and such Loan Party hereby acknowledges that the Bank is entitled to equitable and injunctive relief to enforce any of its rights and remedies hereunder or under the Code and such Loan Party hereby waives any defense to such equitable or injunctive relief based upon any allegation of the absence of irreparable harm to the Bank. The Bank may for any reason apply for the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral (to which appointment each Loan Party hereby irrevocably consents) without the necessity of posting a bond or other form of security (which each Entity Loan Party hereby waives).

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that any exercise by the Bank of the Bank’s rights upon an Event of Default may be subject to compliance by the Bank with any Requirement of Law of any Governmental Authority, and may impose, without limitation, any of the foregoing restricting the sale of securities. The Bank, in its sole discretion at any such sale, may restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intentions, and may impose, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree, to the satisfaction of the Bank, that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.

(c) Any funds received by the Bank from or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties and/or the Collateral held pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied towards the Obligations in such order and manner as the Bank determines in its sole discretion, any statute, custom or usage to the contrary notwithstanding. The Bank shall have the unrestricted right from time to time to change any application already made of the proceeds of any of the Collateral to any of the Obligations, as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine. Any balance of the net proceeds of sale remaining after paying all Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank shall be returned to Borrower or such other Person as may be legally entitled thereto; and if there is a deficiency, the Borrower shall be responsible for repayment of the same, with interest.

(d) The Bank shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including but not limited to this Agreement and the Collateral subject to the security interest created hereby), or Guaranties of, the Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or Guaranties in any particular order; and all of its rights hereunder and in respect of such securities and Guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may do so, each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Bank’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or guaranteed, and to the extent that it lawfully may do so, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws. Except as required by applicable law, the Bank shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

(e) To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Bank, or the Bank enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Bank in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any proceeding under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise, then, to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

7.3 Power of Attorney. Each Entity Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Bank as such Entity Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, at the sole cost and expense of the Entity Loan Parties but for the sole benefit of the Bank, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to convert the Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, completing the manufacture or processing of work in process, and the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the inventory and other Collateral; to use pursuant to a royalty free license all of such Entity Loan Party’s intellectual property; to enforce collection of the Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of such Entity Loan Party, including, without limitation, executing releases or waivers, compromising or settling with any Account Debtors and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Collateral; to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Entity Loan Party and to take therefrom any remittances or proceeds of Collateral in which the Bank has a security interest; to notify Post Office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Entity Loan Party to such address as the Bank shall designate; to endorse the name of such Entity Loan Party in favor of the Bank upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other instruments of the same or different nature; to sign and endorse the name of such Entity Loan Party on and to receive as secured party any of the Collateral, any invoices, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts, or other documents of title of the same or different nature relating to the Collateral; to sign the name of such Entity Loan Party on any notice of the Account Debtors or on verification of the Collateral; and to sign, if necessary, and file or record on behalf of such Entity Loan Party any financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect the Bank’s security interest. The Bank shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove authorized, but if the Bank elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible to such Entity Loan Party except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. All powers conferred upon the Bank by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligation of such Entity Loan Party or surety to the Bank shall remain unpaid or the Bank is obligated under this Agreement to extend any credit to the Borrower.

7.4 Nonexclusive Remedies. All of the Bank’s rights and remedies not only under the provisions of this Agreement but also under the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or transaction shall be cumulative and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Bank at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Bank in its sole discretion may determine.

7.5 Reassignment to Entity Loan Party. Whenever the Bank deems it desirable that any legal action be instituted with respect to any Collateral or that any other action be taken in any attempt to effectuate collection of any Collateral, the Bank may reassign the item in question to any Entity Loan Party (and if the Bank shall execute any such reassignment, it shall automatically be deemed to be without warranty or recourse to the Bank in any event) and require such Entity Loan Party to proceed with such legal or other action at such Entity Loan Party’s sole liability, cost and expense, in which event all amounts collected by such Entity Loan Party on such item shall nevertheless be subject to the Bank’s security interest.

8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Waivers. Each Loan Party waives notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of nonpayment, demand, presentment, protest or notice of protest of the Obligations, and all other notices, consents to any renewals or extensions of time of payment thereof, and generally waives any and all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof.

8.4 Indemnification. Each Loan Party shall indemnify, defend and hold the Bank and any Bank Affiliate and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless of and from any claim brought or threatened against any Indemnitee by any Loan Party or endorser of the Obligations, or any other Person (as well as from reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection therewith) on account of the Bank’s relationship with any Loan Party or endorser of the Obligations (each of which may be defended, compromised, settled or pursued by the Bank with counsel of the Bank’s election, but at the expense of the Entity Loan Parties), except for any claim arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank or any Bank Affiliate. The within indemnification shall survive payment of the Obligations, and/or any termination, release or discharge executed by the Bank in favor of any Loan Party.

The Borrower shall pay to the Bank on demand any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, court costs, litigation and other expenses) incurred or paid by the Bank in the preparation of this Agreement and in establishing, maintaining, monitoring, protecting or enforcing any of the Bank’s rights or the Obligations (including its rights under this Section 8.5), including, without limitation, any and all such costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of any in-house counsel, whether or not on an out-of-pocket basis) incurred or paid by the Bank (a) in defending the Bank’s security interest in, title or right to the Collateral or in collecting or attempting to collect or enforcing or attempting to enforce payment of the Obligations and (b) in any bankruptcy or other proceeding related to any Loan Party.

8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one agreement. Any party to a Loan Document may rely on signatures of the parties thereto or in any notice or communication delivered pursuant thereto which are transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means as fully as if manually signed.

8.7 Complete Agreement.

No course of dealing and no delay or omission on the part of Bank in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right and waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy of Bank on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided or provided in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies powers and privileges provided by law.
