Interest shall accrue on the entire outstanding Rollup in the principal sum of $1,351,354.75 plus (i) the $750,000.00 Closing Disbursement and (ii) such additional amounts as are advanced pursuant to the Note (the Rollup, together with the Closing Disbursement and all such advances made hereunder, the “Principal Balance”) at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, payable quarterly in arrears or upon the Maturity Date, except that Borrower has the option, upon written notice to Lender to PIK up to 4% of such interest, in each period, by adding it to the principal amount of the DIP Loan Facility (the “Interest Rate”).


3.2
Default Interest. Interest will accrue on the principal balance of the Loan upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or expiration of the Loan at a rate equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

3.3
Post Judgment Interest. Any judgment obtained for sums due hereunder or under the Loan Documents will accrue interest at the applicable Default Rate set forth in Section 3.2 above until Lender is fully paid all monies due to it.

3.4
Limitation of Interest to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event will the rate of interest payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law in the State of New York and any interest paid in excess of the permitted rate will be refunded to Borrower. Such refund will be made by application of the excessive amount of interest paid against any sums outstanding hereunder and will be applied in such order as Lender may determine. If the excessive amount of interest paid exceeds the sums outstanding, the portion exceeding the sums outstanding will be refunded in cash by Lender.  Any such crediting or refunding will not cure or waive any default by Borrower. Borrower agrees, however, that in determining whether or not any interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate permitted by law, any non-principal payment, including without limitation prepayment fees and late charges, will be deemed to the extent permitted by law to be an expense, fee, premium or penalty rather than interest.

4.
PAYMENTS, FEES, REPORTING AND INDEMNITY.

4.1
Payments on the Loan. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, Costs and Expenses, and other charges and sums due hereunder and under the other Existing Loan Documents (to the extent not governed by this DIP Loan Facility following the Closing), shall be due and payable in cash at the earliest to occur of the Maturity Date, acceleration under Section 9.2 of this Loan Agreement, or prepayment.

4.2
Costs and Expenses. All reasonable and documented fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and financial advisory fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, documentation, and obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval of this Loan Agreement and of the Loan (including any modifications to such Existing Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary, at the discretion of the Lender, to effect the Loan), and all those in specified Section 9.5 of this Loan Agreement (“Costs and Expenses”) shall be accrued and added to and become part of the principal amount of the Loan.

4.3
Prepayment of Loan. Borrower may not prepay any principal amount of any Lender Indebtedness prior to the Maturity Date.

4.4
Payment Method. Payments shall be paid by Borrower, without any counterclaim, setoff or deduction whatsoever, by bank check addressed to Lender at 26 Deer Creek Lane, Mt. Kisco, NY 10549, or by wire transfer to Lender pursuant to wire instructions provided by Lender to Borrower, or to such other location as Lender may specify to Borrower from time to time, in immediately available funds, in lawful money of the United States of America.


4.5
Application of Payments. Any and all payments on account of the Loan will be applied first, to pay any accrued but unpaid fees of Lender and any Costs and Expenses and other sums due under the Loan; second to pay Interest on the Loan; and third, to repay the principal amount of the Loan; provided, however, that upon an Event of Default, such payments may be applied in such order as Lender, in its sole discretion, elects. If Borrower makes a payment or payments and such payment or payments, or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code, or any other federal state or local law, rule or regulation, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or payments, the obligations or part thereof hereunder intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made.

4.6
Reporting. Borrower will provide Lender with periodic financial reporting, including, reconciliations of the DIP Budget every four weeks; monthly operating reports required to be filed in the Chapter 11 Case; notice of material events; and all other information reasonably requested by Lender.

4.7
Indemnity. Borrower will indemnify Lender against any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of a claim from any third party or as a consequence of an Event of Default, including, without limitation, any failure of Borrower to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration under Section 9.2 of this Loan Agreement or otherwise) any principal, interest, Costs and Expenses, and any other amount due under this Loan Agreement or the Existing Loan Documents (to the extent not also due and payable hereunder). If Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it will from time to time notify Borrower in writing of the amount determined in good faith by Lender to be necessary to indemnify Lender for such loss or expense. Such amount will be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after presentation by Lender of a statement setting forth a brief explanation of and Lender's calculation of such amount, which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct, subject to Borrower’s right to reasonably and promptly contest such amount in good faith. Any amount payable to Lender under this Section will bear interest at the highest default rate payable hereunder from the due date until paid, both before and after judgment.

(a)
The collateral described above in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 is collectively referred to herein as the Collateral. The above-described security interests, assignments and liens shall continue in full force and effect until all Lender Indebtedness has been repaid, Lender has no Loan Agreement or commitment outstanding pursuant to which Lender may extend credit to or on behalf of Borrower and Lender has executed termination statements or releases with respect thereto.

(c)
The liens and security interests and the administrative priority granted pursuant hereto may be independently granted by the Loan Documents and by other Loan Documents hereafter entered into.

Lender shall account to Borrower for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower agrees that Lender has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other parties. Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, after an Event of Default, without charge, Borrower's labels, general intangibles, intellectual property, equipment, real estate, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, domain names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any inventory or other Collateral and Borrower's rights under all contracts, licenses, approvals, permits, leases and franchise Loan Agreements shall inure to Lender's benefit. Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of Lender Indebtedness.

At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, Lender may without notice or demand, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit of Borrower against any or all of Lender Indebtedness and Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.

Without limitation, notwithstanding any such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or omission:


(i)
except for the amounts included in the Carve-Out (however, it is agreed and understood that the Carve-Out shall not reduce the full amount that is due and owing to Lender under this Loan Agreement);

(ii)
the liens and security interests in favor of Lender set forth herein, in the Security Documents and in the other Loan Documents, shall constitute valid and perfected first priority liens and security interests and shall be prior to all other liens and interests, now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever, and

(iii)
the security interests and liens upon the Collateral in favor of Lender as set forth in this Loan Agreement, the Security Documents and in the other Loan Documents shall constitute valid and perfected first priority security interests, without the necessity that Lender file financing statements or otherwise perfect its liens and security interests in the Collateral under applicable non-bankruptcy law.
