The Borrower shall repay all Advances even if the Lender does not receive such confirmation and even if the Person requesting an Advance was not in fact authorized to do so.

(d)                                 If a draft is submitted under a Letter of Credit when the Borrower is unable, because a Default Period exists or for any other reason, to obtain a Revolving Advance to pay the Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender on demand and in immediately available funds, the amount of the Obligation of Reimbursement together with interest, accrued from the date of the draft until payment in full at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the Borrower’s inability to obtain a Revolving Advance for any reason, the Lender is irrevocably authorized, in its sole discretion, to make a Revolving Advance in an amount sufficient to discharge the Obligation of Reimbursement and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon.

Section 2.4                                      Special Account.   If the Credit Facility is terminated for any reason while any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrower shall thereupon pay the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the L/C Amount plus any anticipated fees and costs. If the Borrower fails to promptly make any such payment in the amount required hereunder, then the Lender may make a Revolving Advance against the Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to fulfill this obligation and deposit the proceeds to the Special Account.

Section 2.5                                      Interest; Minimum Interest Charge; Default Interest Rate; Application of Payments; Participations; Usury.

(a)                                  Interest.   Except as provided in Section 2.5(c) and Section 2.6(f), the principal amount of each Advance shall bear interest as a Floating Rate Advance.

(b)                                 Minimum Interest Charge.   Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $30,000.00 per calendar month in arrears (the “Minimum Interest Charge”) from the date of execution of this Agreement and until the second anniversary of the Funding Date, and the Borrower shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise calculated under Section 2.5(a) on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date. Provided, further, however, that notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender interest of not less than $20,000.00 per calendar month in arrears (the “Minimum Interest Charge”) from the second anniversary of the Funding Date until

19




 

the fourth anniversary of the Funding Date, and the Borrower shall pay any deficiency between the Minimum Interest Charge and the amount of interest otherwise calculated under Section 2.5(a) on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date. When calculating this deficiency, the Default Rate, if applicable, shall be disregarded, and any interest that accrues on a payment following its receipt on those days specified in Section 2.6(d) shall be included in determining the total amount of interest otherwise calculated under Section 2.6(a).

(c)                                  Default Interest Rate.   At any time during any Default Period or following the Termination Date, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, the principal of the Revolving Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate or such lesser rate as the Lender may determine, effective as of the first day of the fiscal month in which any Default Period begins through the last day of such Default Period, or any shorter time period that the Lender may determine. The decision of the Lender to impose a rate that is less than the Default Rate or to not impose the Default Rate for the entire duration of the Default Period shall be made by the Lender in its sole discretion and shall not be a waiver of any of its other rights and remedies, including its right to retroactively impose the full Default Rate for the entirety of any such Default Period or following the Termination Date.

(d)                                 Application of Payments.   Payments shall be applied to the Indebtedness on the Business Day of receipt by the Lender in the Lender’s general account, but the amount of principal paid shall continue to accrue interest at the interest rate applicable under the terms of this Agreement from the calendar day the Lender receives the payment, and continuing through the end of the Business Day following receipt of the payment.

(e)                                  Participations. If any Person shall acquire a participation in the Advances or the Obligation of Reimbursement, the Borrower shall be obligated to the Lender to pay the full amount of all interest calculated under this Section 2.5, along with all other fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement, regardless if such Person elects to accept interest with respect to its participation at a lower rate than that calculated under this Section 2.5, or otherwise elects to accept less than its prorata share of such fees, charges and other amounts due under this Agreement. However, Lender shall notify Borrower of any intended participation and allow Borrower to comment within 5 business days of such notice.

(f)                                    Usury.   In any event no rate change shall be put into effect which would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements between the Borrower and the Lender are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under any Loan Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of the Borrower and the Lender. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and

20




 

shall control every other provision of the Loan Documents and all agreements between the Borrower and the Lender, or their successors and assigns.

Section 2.6                                      Fees.

(a)                                  Origination Fee.   The Borrower shall pay the Lender a fully earned and non-refundable origination fee of $100,000.00, due and payable upon the earlier of the funding under this Agreement or August 18, 2006.

(b)                                 Facility Fee.   The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an annual facility fee of $15,000.00, which facility fee shall be due and payable upon the execution of this Agreement and then on each August 1st thereafter.

(c)                                  Collateral Exam Fees.   The Borrower shall pay the Lender fees in connection with any collateral exams, audits or inspections conducted by or on behalf of the Lender of any Collateral or the Borrower’s operations or business at the rates established from time to time by the Lender as its collateral exam fees (which fees are currently $900.00 per day per collateral examiner), together with all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in conducting any such collateral examination or inspection; provided, however, that during Default Periods, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for such fees, costs and expenses as the Lender deems necessary in its sole discretion.

(d)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.   The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a fee with respect to each Letter of Credit that has been issued, if any, which fee shall be calculated on a per diem basis at an annual rate equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate amount that may then be drawn under the Letter of Credit, assuming compliance with all conditions for drawing (the “Aggregate Face Amount”), from and including the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit until the date that the Letter of Credit terminates or is returned to the Lender, which fee shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the date that the Letter of Credit terminates or is returned to the Lender; provided, however, effective as of the first day of the month in which any Default Period begins through the last day of such Default Period, or any shorter time period that the Lender may determine, in the Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights and remedies, such fee shall increase to two and one half percent (2.5%) of the Aggregate Face Amount. The foregoing fee shall be in addition to any and all other fees, commissions and charges imposed by Lender with respect to or in connection with such Letter of Credit.

(e)                                  Letter of Credit Administrative Fees.   The Borrower shall pay all administrative fees charged by Lender in connection with the honoring of drafts under any Letter of Credit, amendments thereto, transfers thereof and all other activity with respect to the Letters of Credit at the then — current rates published by Lender for such services rendered on behalf of customers of Lender generally.

(f)                                    Termination Fees.   If (i) the Lender terminates the Credit Facility during a Default Period, or if (ii) the Borrower terminates the Credit Facility on a date prior to the Maturity Date, then the Borrower shall pay the Lender as liquidated damages and not as a penalty a termination fee in an amount equal to a percentage of the Maximum Line Amount

21




 

calculated as follows: (A) three percent (3.0%) if the termination occurs on or before the first anniversary of the Funding Date; (B) two percent (2.0%) if the termination occurs after the first anniversary of the Funding Date, but on or before the second anniversary of the Funding Date; (C) one percent (1.0%) if the termination occurs after the second anniversary of the Funding Date, but on or before the third anniversary of the Funding Date; and (D) zero percent (0%) if the termination occurs after the third anniversary of the Funding Date.

(g)                                 Waiver of Termination Fees.   The Borrower, at the Lender’s discretion, will be excused from the payment of termination and prepayment fees otherwise due under this Agreement if such termination or prepayment is made because of refinancing through another one of Lender’s operating divisions.

(h)                                 Overadvance Fees.   The Borrower shall pay an Overadvance fee in the amount of $1,000.00 for each day or portion thereof during which an Overadvance exists, regardless of how the Overadvance arises or whether or not the Overadvance has been agreed to in advance by the Lender; provided, further, however, that from the date on which any Default or Event of Default occurs or exists at any time, the Borrower shall pay an Overadvance fee in the amount of $2,000.00 for each day or portion thereof during which an Overadvance exists, regardless of how the Overadvance arises or whether or not the Overadvance has been agreed to in advance by the Lender. The acceptance of payment of an Overadvance fee by the Lender shall not be deemed to constitute either consent to the Overadvance or a waiver of the resulting Event of Default, unless the Lender specifically consents to the Overadvance in writing and waives the Event of Default on whatever conditions the Lender deems appropriate.

(i)                                     Processing Fees.   Accounts receivable agings and Inventory reports shall be submitted electronically by Borrower to Lender via Collateral Services, Inc. A monthly processing fee in an amount to be determined by Lender in its sole discretion shall be charged by Lender to Borrower.

(j)                                     Other Fees and Charges.   The Lender may from time to time impose additional fees and charges as consideration for Advances made in excess of Availability or for other events that constitute an Event of Default or a Default hereunder, including fees and charges for the administration of Collateral by the Lender, and fees and charges for the late delivery of reports, which may be assessed in the Lender’s sole discretion on either an hourly, periodic, or flat fee basis, and in lieu of or in addition to imposing interest at the Default Rate.

(k)                                  Contracted Funds Breakage Fees.   The Borrower may prepay the principal amount of the Revolving Note at any time in any amount, whether voluntarily or by acceleration, provided, however, that if the principal amount of any Revolving Note LIBOR Advance is prepaid, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender immediately upon demand a contracted funds breakage fee equal to the sum of the discounted monthly differences for each month from the month of prepayment through the month in which such Interest Period matures, calculated as follows for each such month:

(i)                                     Determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month on the amount prepaid at the interest rate applicable to such amount had it remained outstanding until the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

22




 

(ii)                                  Subtract from the amount determined in (i) above the amount of interest which would have accrued for the same month on the amount prepaid for the remaining term of such Interest Period at LIBOR in effect on the date of prepayment for new loans made for such term in a principal amount equal to the amount prepaid.

(iii)                               If the result obtained in (ii) for any month is greater than zero, discount that difference by LIBOR used in (ii) above.

The Borrower acknowledges that prepayment of the Revolving Note may result in the Lender incurring additional costs, expenses or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses or liabilities. The Borrower therefore agrees to pay the above-described contracted funds breakage fee and agrees that said amount represents a reasonable estimate of the contracted funds breakage costs, expenses and/or liabilities of the Lender.

Section 2.7                                      Time for Interest Payments; Payment on Non-Business Days; Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a)                                  Time For Interest Payments.   Accrued and unpaid interest accruing on Floating Rate Advances shall be due and payable on the first day of each month and on the Termination Date (each an “Interest Payment Date”), or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of advance to the Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Interest accruing on each LIBOR Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period; provided, however, for Interest Periods that are longer than one month, interest shall nevertheless be due and payable monthly on the last day of each month, and on the last day of the Interest Period.

(b)                                 Payment on Non-Business Days.   Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest on the Advances or the fees hereunder, as the case may be.

(c)                                  Computation of Interest and Fees.   Interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Advances and fees hereunder outstanding from time to time shall be computed on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

Section 2.8                                      Lockbox and Collateral Account; Sweep of Funds.

(a)                                  Lockbox and Collateral Account.

(i)                                     The Borrower shall instruct all account debtors to pay all Accounts directly to the Lockbox. If, notwithstanding such instructions, the Borrower receives any payments on Accounts, the Borrower shall deposit such payments into the Collateral Account. The Borrower shall also deposit all other cash proceeds of Collateral regardless of source or nature directly into the Collateral Account. Until so deposited, the Borrower

23




 

shall hold all such payments and cash proceeds in trust for and as the property of the Lender and shall not commingle such property with any of its other funds or property. All deposits in the Collateral Account shall constitute proceeds of Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Indebtedness.

(ii)                                  All items deposited in the Collateral Account shall be subject to final payment. If any such item is returned uncollected, the Borrower will immediately pay the Lender, or, for items deposited in the Collateral Account, the bank maintaining such account, the amount of that item, or such bank at its discretion may charge any uncollected item to the Borrower’s commercial account or other account. The Borrower shall be liable as an endorser on all items deposited in the Collateral Account, whether or not in fact endorsed by the Borrower.

(b)                                 Sweep of Funds.   The Lender shall from time to time, in accordance with the Wholesale Lockbox and Collection Account Agreement, cause funds in the Collateral Account to be transferred to the Lender’s general account for payment of the Indebtedness. Amounts deposited in the Collateral Account shall not be subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, except after payment in full and discharge of all Indebtedness.

Section 2.9                                      Voluntary Prepayment; Termination of the Credit Facility by the Borrower.   Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may prepay the Advances in whole at any time or from time to time in part. The Borrower may terminate the Credit Facility at any time if it (i) gives the Lender at least 30 days advance written notice prior to the proposed Termination Date, and (ii) pays the Lender applicable prepayment fees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Borrower terminates the Credit Facility, all Indebtedness shall be immediately due and payable, and if the Borrower gives the Lender less than the required 30 days advance written notice, then the interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the period of time commencing 30 days prior to the proposed Termination Date through the date that the Lender actually receives such written notice. If the Borrower does not wish the Lender to consider renewal of the Credit Facility on the next Maturity Date, then the Borrower shall give the Lender at least 30 days written notice prior to the Maturity Date that it will not be requesting renewal. If the Borrower fails to give the Lender such timely notice, then the interest rate applicable to borrowings evidenced by the Revolving Note shall be the Default Rate for the period of time commencing 30 days prior to the Maturity Date through the date that the Lender actually receives such written notice.

Section 2.10                                Mandatory Prepayment.   Without notice or demand, if the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances plus the L/C Amount shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall (i) first, immediately prepay the Revolving Advances to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if prepayment in full of the Revolving Advances is insufficient to eliminate such excess, pay to the Lender in immediately available funds for deposit in the Special Account an amount equal to the remaining excess.

Section 2.11                                Revolving Advances to Pay Indebtedness.   Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.1, the Lender may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 would not be satisfied, make a Revolving Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Indebtedness from time to time due and payable and may deliver the proceeds of any such Revolving Advance to Wells Fargo Merchant Services, LLC in satisfaction of any unpaid obligations due to Wells Fargo Merchant Services, LLC.

Section 2.12                                Use of Proceeds.   The Borrower shall use the proceeds of Advances and each Letter of Credit for ordinary working capital purposes and to support Letters of Credit.

Section 2.13                                Liability Records.   The Lender may maintain from time to time, at its discretion, records as to the Indebtedness. All entries made on any such record shall be presumed correct until the Borrower establishes the contrary. Upon the Lender’s demand, the Borrower will admit and certify in writing the exact principal balance of the Indebtedness that the Borrower then asserts to be outstanding. Any billing statement or accounting rendered by the Lender shall be conclusive and fully binding on the Borrower unless the Borrower gives the Lender specific written notice of exception within 30 days after receipt.

Section 2.14                                Lender’s Election.   Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally obligated to the Lender for the full and prompt payment of all Indebtedness owed or hereafter owed to the Lender by each Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability to Lender shall be limited to the amount which could be claimed by the Lender from each Borrower under this section without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, its right of contribution and indemnification from other parties.

This Section 2.14 is intended only to define the relative rights of Wells Gardner and American, and nothing set forth in this Section 2.14 is intended to nor shall impair the Indebtedness of any Borrower, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement including, without limiting any provision herein. Nothing contained herein shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Advances, Indebtedness and reimbursement to Lender of any other instrument, interest, fees, expenses and all other amounts with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be liable.

This Section 2.14 shall only be in effect in the event the Lender, in its sole discretion, declares this Section 2.14 to be effective.

Section 2.15                                LIBOR Advances.

(a)                                  Converting Floating Rate Advances to LIBOR Advances; Procedures.   So long as no Default Period is in effect, the Borrower may convert all or any part of the principal amount of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance into a LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender

25




 

convert same no later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day on which the Borrower wishes the conversion to become effective. Each request that conforms to the terms of this Agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender and shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower if the Lender so requests by any Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(b) or Person reasonably believed by the Lender to be such an Officer or designated agent, which request shall specify the Business Day on which the conversion is to occur, the total amount of the Floating Rate Advance to be converted, and the applicable Interest Period. Each such conversion shall occur on a Business Day, and the aggregate amount of Floating Rate Advances converted to LIBOR Advances shall be in multiples of $1,000,000, with a minimum conversion amount of at least $1,000,000.

(b)                                 Procedures at End of an Interest Period.   Unless the Borrower requests a new LIBOR Advance in accordance with the procedures set forth below, or prepays the principal of an outstanding LIBOR Advance at the expiration of an Interest Period, the Lender shall automatically and without request of the Borrower convert each LIBOR Advance to a Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the relevant Interest Period. So long as no Default exists, the Borrower may cause all or any part of any maturing LIBOR Advance to be renewed as a new LIBOR Advance by requesting that the Lender continue the maturing Advance as a LIBOR Advance no later than the Cut-off Time on the Business Day [_immediately preceding the Business Day_] constituting the first day of the new Interest Period. Each such request shall be confirmed in writing by the Borrower upon the Lender’s request by any Officer or designated agent identified in Section 2.2(b), which confirmation shall be effective upon receipt by the Lender, and which shall specify the amount of the expiring LIBOR Advance to be continued and the applicable Interest Period. Each new Interest Period shall begin on a Business Day and the amount of each LIBOR Advance shall be in multiples of $1,000,000, with a minimum Advance of at least $1,000,000.

(c)                                  Setting and Notice of Rates.   The Lender shall, with respect to any request for a LIBOR Advance under Section 2.2 or a conversion or renewal of a LIBOR Advance under this Section 2.3, provide the Borrower with a LIBOR quote for each Interest Period identified by the Borrower on the Business Day on which the request was made, if the request is received by the Lender prior to the Cut-off Time, or for requests received by the Lender after the Cut-off Time, on the next Business Day or on the Business Day on which the Borrower has requested that the LIBOR Advance be made effective. If the Borrower does not immediately accept a LIBOR quote, the quoted rate shall expire and any subsequent request from Borrower for a LIBOR quote shall be subject to redetermination by the Lender of the applicable LIBOR for the LIBOR Advance.

(d)                                 Taxes and Regulatory Costs.   The Borrower shall pay the Lender with respect to any Advance, upon demand and in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) future, supplemental, emergency or other changes in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage, assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in

26




 

any manner to LIBOR to the extent they are not included in the calculation of LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to the Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by the Lender among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

At any time, whether or not a Default Period then exists, the Lender may (but need not), in the Lender’s name or in the Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proof of claim, receive all such monies, endorse checks and other

27




 

instruments representing payment of such monies, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.

In addition, the Borrower will pay, or reimburse the Lender for, all taxes, fees, duties, imposts, charges and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon the Lender by reason of the execution, delivery, existence, recordation, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.5             License.   Without limiting the generality of any other Security Document, the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all Intellectual Property Rights of the Borrower for the purpose of: (a) completing the manufacture of any in-process materials during any Default Period so that such materials become saleable Inventory, all in accordance with the same quality standards previously adopted by the Borrower for its own manufacturing and subject to the Borrower’s reasonable exercise of quality control; and (b) selling, leasing or otherwise disposing of any or all Collateral during any Default Period.

In addition, each other Person holding a participating interest in any Indebtedness shall have the right to appropriate or setoff any deposit or other liability then owed by such Person to the Borrower, whether or not due, and apply the same to the payment of said participating interest, as fully as if such Person had lent directly to the Borrower the amount of such participating interest.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1   No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Compliance with Laws. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or

50




remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

Section 8.2   Amendments, Etc.   No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom or any release of a Security Interest shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 8.3   Notices; Communication of Confidential Information; Requests for Accounting.   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for under the Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United States mail, (c) sent by overnight courier of national reputation, (d) transmitted by telecopy, or (e) sent as electronic mail, in each case delivered or sent to the party to whom notice is being given to the business address, telecopier number, or e mail address set forth below next to its signature or, as to each party, at such other business address, telecopier number, or e mail address as it may hereafter designate in writing to the other party pursuant to the terms of this Section. All such notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be deemed to be an authenticated record communicated or given on (a) the date received if personally delivered, (b) when deposited in the mail if delivered by mail, (c) the date delivered to the courier if delivered by overnight courier, or (d) the date of transmission if sent by telecopy or by e mail, except that notices or requests delivered to the Lender pursuant to any of the provisions of Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. All notices, financial information, or other business records sent by either party to this Agreement may be transmitted, sent, or otherwise communicated via such medium as the sending party may deem appropriate and commercially reasonable; provided, however, that the risk that the confidentiality or privacy of such notices, financial information, or other business records sent by either party may be compromised shall be borne exclusively by the Borrower except for instances in which the Lender disclosed privacy information with intent or willful and gross neglect. All requests for an accounting under Section 9-210 of the UCC (i) shall be made in a writing signed by a Person authorized under Section 2.2(b), (ii) shall be personally delivered, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight courier of national reputation, (iii) shall be deemed to be sent when received by the Lender and (iv) shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 9-210. The Borrower requests that the Lender respond to all such requests which on their face appear to come from an authorized individual and releases the Lender from any liability for so responding. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the maximum amount allowed by law for responding to such requests.

Section 8.4   Further Documents.   The Borrower will from time to time execute, deliver, endorse and authorize the filing of any and all instruments, documents, conveyances, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, control agreements and other

51




agreements and writings that the Lender may reasonably request in order to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest or the Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents (but any failure to request or assure that the Borrower executes, delivers, endorses or authorizes the filing of any such item shall not affect or impair the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Loan Documents and the Security Interest, regardless of whether any such item was or was not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior occasion).

Section 8.5   Costs and Expenses.   The Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Lender in connection with the Indebtedness, this Agreement, the Loan Documents, any Letter of Credit and any other document or agreement related hereto or thereto, and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all such costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, amendment, administration, performance, collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness and all such documents and agreements and the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure or enforcement of the Security Interest.

Section 8.6   Indemnity.   In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.5, the Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender, and any of its participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, successor corporations, and all present and future officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents of the foregoing (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any of the following (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”):

            (i)  Any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or the making of the Advances;

           (ii)  Any claims, loss or damage to which any Indemnitee may be subjected if any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.14 proves to be incorrect in any respect or as a result of any violation of the covenant contained in Section 6.12(b); and

          (iii)  Any and all other liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, claims, costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the foregoing and any other investigative, administrative or judicial proceedings, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner related to or arising out of or in connection with the making of the Advances and the Loan Documents or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances.

If any investigative, judicial or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee, upon such Indemnitee’s request, the Borrower, or counsel designated by the Borrower and satisfactory to the Indemnitee, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding to the extent and in the manner directed by the Indemnitee, at the Borrower’s sole costs and expense. Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If the foregoing undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless may be held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, the

52




Borrower shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 8.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of the Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

Section 8.7   Participants.   The Lender and its participants, if any, are not partners or joint venturers, and the Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility for any obligation, act or omission of any of its participants. All rights and powers specifically conferred upon the Lender may be transferred or delegated to any of the Lender’s participants, successors or assigns.

Section 8.8   Execution in Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.   This Agreement and other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

Section 8.9   Retention of Borrower’s Records.   The Lender shall have no obligation to maintain any electronic records or any documents, schedules, invoices, agings, or other papers delivered to the Lender by the Borrower or in connection with the Loan Documents for more than 30 days after receipt by the Lender. If there is a special need to retain specific records, the Borrower must inform the Lender of its need to retain those records with particularity, which must be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 8.3 within 30 days of the Lender taking control of same.

Section 8.10   Binding Effect; Assignment; Complete Agreement; Sharing Information.   The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights thereunder or any interest therein without the Lender’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower waives and will not assert against any assignee any claims, defenses or set-offs which the Borrower could assert against the Lender. This Agreement shall also bind all Persons who become a party to this Agreement as a borrower. This Agreement, together with the Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement contradicts other provisions of the Loan Documents, this Agreement shall control. Without limiting the Lender’s right to share information regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates with the Lender’s participants, accountants, lawyers and other advisors, the Lender and Wells Fargo Bank may share any and all information they may have in their possession regarding the Borrower and its Affiliates, and the Borrower waives any right of confidentiality it may have with respect to such sharing of information.

53

Section 8.12 Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 8.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of Wisconsin. The parties hereto hereby (i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Wisconsin in connection with any controversy related to this Agreement; (ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient; (iii) agree that any litigation initiated by the Lender or the Borrower in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be venued in either the state or federal courts located in the County of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 8.14 Servicing of Credit Facility. Intentionally Deleted.

THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.
