All of the terms and conditions of the Agreement which are not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Supplement shall apply with full force and effect to all Transactions covered by this Supplement. 2. TRANSACTIONS 2.1. Letter of Credit. From time to time, upon Client's request but subject, in each instance, to Factor's approval thereof, Factor will guarantee payment by Client to banks under letters of credit to be opened by Client in a bank designated by Factor, in Client's name and for Client's account, and any drafts thereunder, for the purchase of merchandise required by Client in the regular course of Client's business (a "Letter of Credit"). In each such instance Client will execute an application for credit on the form of such bank requesting Factor to deliver same to the bank and to cause it to issue an irrevocable Letter of Credit in conformity with the application. 2.2. Scope. The term "Transaction", whenever used in this Supplement, shall mean and include any such Letter of Credit which may be made or issued by Factor hereunder, or any drafts thereunder, any air release, steamship guaranty or other indemnity issued in connection with any Letter of Credit, all merchandise which may be the subject of any Letter of Credit so guaranteed and all documents and instruments of every kind relating thereto, including, without limitation, all documents of title, transport, indebtedness and payment, or evidencing any thereof. 2.3. Terms. Each Transaction hereunder shall be in such form and shall contain such terms, conditions and provisions as Factor, in Factor's sole discretion, may elect. The aggregate amount of each Transaction shall be reserved against advances which would otherwise be available under Section 3.2 of the Agreement (the "Advance Reserve"). In the event insufficient advance availability exists under Section 3.2 of the Agreement to institute the Advance Reserve, prior to and for each Transaction, Client shall deposit with Factor sufficient cash collateral so that the amount of such Transaction has been fully reserved for through a combination of an Advance Reserve and cash collateral. For each Transaction, Factor agrees to release 50% of the Advance Reserve and/or cash collateral applicable to such Transaction, upon the presentment of a valid purchase order for the purchase of the merchandise involved in such Transaction, with such purchase order to be approved by Factor in its sole discretion. The release of the Advance Reserve and/or cash collateral will be effectuated by such means as determined by Factor in its sole and absolute discretion. 2.4. Limitations. The total amount of Transactions hereunder which may be outstanding at any time may be limited by Factor, in Factor's sole and absolute discretion. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to grant to Client any right, power or authority to pledge Factor's credit in any manner or to any extent whatever. 2.5. Issuance. All Letters of Credit guaranteed by Factor hereunder shall be issued in Client's name. 3. CLIENT'S OBLIGATIONS; REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 3.1. Payment. Client shall promptly pay, satisfy and discharge, in full, as and when due, all debts, liabilities and obligations of any kind incurred by Client in connection with each and every Transaction, including, without limitation, all fees and charges of any bank; and Client shall pay to Factor, forthwith upon demand and in full, any and all moneys which Factor may pay or be obligated to pay on, under, in connection with, or by reason of, any Transaction, including all communication expenses and attorney's fees. 3.2. Indemnities. Client shall indemnify Factor and any bank which may issue any Letter of Credit guaranteed by Factor hereunder or any air release, steamship guarantee or other indemnity and any correspondent of any such bank which may have any connection with any Transaction or any drafts thereunder or any air release, steamship guarantee or other indemnity, and hold Factor and them harmless against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, expense, demands and causes of action which may be made, asserted, or brought against Factor, or any of them, arising on, under, in connection with, or by reason of, any Transaction. 2 3.3.

Client shall cause all merchandise which may be the subject of any Transaction to be fully insured under an all risk United States dollar policy, at Client's sole cost, but for Factor's account and benefit as Factor's interest may appear, in amounts and by insurance companies satisfactory to Factor; and shall deliver to Factor forthwith proof of full payment of all premiums thereon. Upon Client's failure or refusal, for any reason, to deliver any such prepaid policies to Factor, Factor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such policies and to pay the premiums thereon for Client's account; and Client shall pay to Factor, forthwith, the amount of such premiums so paid by Factor with interest thereon computed as provided in Section 8.2 hereof.

Importation. Client agrees that any necessary import, export or other licenses or certificates for the import or handling of the Collateral (as defined in Section 5.1 hereof) will have been promptly procured; all foreign and domestic governmental laws and regulations in regard to the shipment and importation of the Collateral, or the financing thereof will have been promptly and fully complied with; and any certificates in that regard that Factor may at any time request will be promptly furnished.
